  1. I wish this were true, but the 40 year old just won the league MVP and set a record for passing yards in a SB. I've been reading about his decline for a few years now. I'll believe it when I see it. Reminds me of Mariano Rivera whose drop off years were still better than everyone elses. Bradys greatness aggravates me to no end and certainly time will eventually catch up, but what makes you think it's coming so fast?
  2. No way of knowing, but one things for sure...Foles has a SB win and Wentz doesn't...that could turn out to be an albatross for Wentz.
  3. I didn't get past the line about the horrific offensive game plan. 500+ yards passing, didn't punt once....but the offensive game plan was the problem.
  4. I saw his comments but not the question that prompted them. He sounded like he was seriously contemplating retirement. He was in concussion protocol for a long time. As fans, I'm not sure we fully appreciate what these players go through after these big hits. The Aaron Williams Players Tribune article touched on it a bit. I wonder how Cooks is doing.
  5. My kids were asking me before the game why I couldn't stand him. Now they get it. The way we watch games and the way they are announced is suffering from instant replay IMO. Collinsworths commentary during the Ertz review was a prime example. Stoking controversy where there is none.
  6. My mother always told me that if I have nothing nice to say then I shouldn't say anything so:
  7. One of my favorite ad lines: I put that $%#! on everything!
  8. I was just telling the wife that we need to add shrimp to the menu. Unfortunately mine will be pulled out of the freezer later today.
  9. In the past few years a post like this would often result in the snarky response: "Playoffs!" More often than not I found that response annoying.
  10. Pretty basic in my house. Pre-game we'll have chili and during the game: Cheeseburger Sliders Pigs in Blankets Chicken Wings (hot sauce) Mozzarella Sticks Chips and salsa Is the Thai chili sauce homemade or store bought? Could you share the recipe or brand? Love Thai chili but I've only ever had it out.
  11. I've said it before and it's no great revelation, but it sucks that we can't celebrate OJ's greatness. He is arguably the greatest Bills player ever. I'd say it's either Juice or Bruce.
  12. This makes me wanna revisit Love, Electric and Sonic Temple.
  13. These are the people who win the office football pools.
  14. Love that song but I have to admit that I never listened to it in the context of a guitar solo, just a great song to me even though the solo was there all along. On one hand I think that's the mark of a great solo, it just blends into the song perfectly. But I would expect it to be played note for note anytime I hear it. Kind of like the Comfortably Numb solo...which is an al-ltime great On the other hand, I love guitarists that improvise live. Far more impressive to me but can be hit and miss.
  15. If the RaIders had a guy known as the Deflator they would have laughed in everyones face and said hell yeah he's the Deflator. The Patriots try to pass it off as a guy on a weight loss program. And their fans believe it.
  16. I've probably made this point in the past, but apart from the obvious, one thing I hate about the Pats is their self-rightousness. Back in the day everyone knew what the Raiders "Just Win Baby" motto meant. Cheap hits? Penalties? Cheat? He hate me? Just win baby. There were no pretentions whatsoever. The Patriots aren't that different than the Raiders, they just don't own it.
  17. If your schtick is to respond in Foghorn Leghorn quotes I am fully on board and hopeful for the future.
  18. Have to admit I needed a double take on that one, but don't kill me when I repeat it a year or so from now.
  19. Armored Saint? Nice. I was in on them from the EP. I wonder if that's still out there. John Bush also breathed life into Anthrax for a while.
  20. Off topic: One of my favorite quotes came from Tommy Lasorda when asked about contract negotiations with Fernando Valenzuela: "He wants Texas back" On topic: today I learned that I never pass up an opportunity to share my favorite quotes.
  21. I saw that too but was too lazy busy to post. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/airplane-mode/emotional-support-peacock-denied-flight-united-airlines-n842971 Looked like someone trying to get their 15 minutes of fame: “We explained this to the customer on three separate occasions before they arrived at the airport,”
  22. The latest from Sandy (it may be behind a fee wall): https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/sandy-alderson-mets-1.16477763 Article says he recoiled to a direct question about Moustakos. But I was OK with his answer: “Well, it’s possible what he’ll end up doing is signing a one-year contract,” Alderson said of Moustakas. “I don’t know. " Big thumbs down from me on this statement: Alderson was quick to point out that the Mets have done more this winter than “probably 80 percent” of the teams, I'm more concerned with whether we've done enough to be legit playoff contenders. I feel like we haven't.
  23. The scene in Daddys Home 2 with Will Ferrell and John Lithgow kissing was unbelievably cringe-worthy. Set the tone for the rest of the movie IMO. Back to Brady: is it too much to ask that his kid has the flu and passes it along with the effects hitting Tommy Boy full force in 72 hours?
