SinceThe70s

Funniest Polish joke/moment for me was between two friends in high school: One kid starts telling a Polish joke and the other says "hey wait, I'm Polish". Without missing a beat the other kid says "OK, I'll tell it slow". We all laughed.

A silly statement. . Actually highly probable, but something you could easily claim about any rookie coach and most coaches in general. As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_head_coaches_with_50_wins there are plenty of great coaches with less wins than Belichiks 127 losses: George Allen, John Madden, Sean Payton....not to mention Bill Walsh and um, Vince Lombardi.

Kill Da Wabbit? I'd go see that band on the name alone.

I recently had a dream where there was a flock of geese around me and one kept telling a knock-knock joke and I was trying to track it down to hear the joke. Didn't happen.

What's up Doc?....sorry for that...I'm a big Bugs Bunny fan and couldn't resist. I'm with you on this. Me and my concert bro regularly make our way towards the exit as the concert winds down. But far less likely to do so if we don't know what's coming.

Bad. I prefer the spontaneity of not knowing what song is next. And yet I check setlists obsessively the days leading up to a concert. For bands like Umphreys checking the setlist only tells me what they won't be playing that night. For a band that plays the same thing night after night it lets me know when the lull in the set is so I can grab another beer.

McAdoo's departure was probably a forgone conclusion by the end of the week. But if there was any chance he blew it when he told the media that he had no regrets about how the Eli benching was handled.

We go back and forth between real and fake. Looks like it'll be a real tree this year. How would I put a star or angel on top of an upside down tree? Do we need a Christmas light thread?

That guy was a die hard Cubs fan who got caught up in the moment and prevented a possible out. Moises Alou's reaction made it worse. The Cubs had a 3-0 lead in the game at the time (disclosure:I just looked that up) and completely collapsed. Bartman (a fan!) was crucified by the city of Chicago. Compare that to Norwood who missed the game winning FG, came back to Buffalo and was cheered by the city. Thumbs up Buffalo! As for the ring, the Cubs gave everyone rings...including past players like Ryne Sandberg. It was a nice gesture to players and at least one fan of a long suffering franchise. Personally I think giving rings to ex-players is too close to the participation trophy mentality, but for Bartman it was a nice gesture to a guy who took the blame for the teams failure.

They shoot horses, don't they?

i like the way you think. But I like the way you think more. Very few (myself included) gave us much of a chance going into KC last week. Now we're home and the safe money is on NE. Except for the CoTers (that's Cult of Tankers!) this could be considered playing with house money. Lets go out there Sunday and shock the board!

Pressure up the middle works. Can't let him step up. But obviously it has to come quick

The Specials spawned some great ska punk. Not sure if the Scoflaws got much play outside my home town but they were great: And as I mentioned a few pages back I'm a big fan of Goldfinger who crushed a cover of Nite Klub:

Great song. If you like this, Aerosmith and/or Umphreys McGee you might like the following. Song starts about 2:20 in:

Classic Francesa. Shame he's leaving the station in a few weeks. I don't agree with everything he says and he can be arrogant to a fault, but overall extremely knowledgable and a great listen.

These are both good questions. Maybe ownership is done with Eli and more than happy to let McAdoo fall on the sword. I'd say two birds with one stone but really even before today McAdoo was a dead man walking IMO.

McAdoo lets Odell run wild including having no reaction to Odell saying he could care less for about his 15 yard unsportsmanlike after a TD. Two of his DB's get suspended for a game each ...and one gets to play the entire game against the 49ers with no effort (Jenkins). And now he sits a franchise legend and complete stand-up team guy who has started every game dating back to 2004 and who bested Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. twice (including the nearly undefeated season)...for GENO SMITH!! Nice job coach there will be some lovely parting gifts on your way out.

Count me in the optimist group. If I wasn't i'd have thrown in the towel long before the Kelly era. But I did wake up this morning expecting a 4th straight beating...optimism has its limits. If todays win (or any win for that matter) isn't cause for at least some optimism, well, OK. There was a lot of talk this past week that the coach had lost the locker room after the Peterman debacle. Does anyone still believe that? I don't, and that's my biggest takeaway from today To answer your "That's improvement?" question (and without any regard to how many more wins we get this year): I see a more disciplined and resilient team than last year. I don't see either Ryan on the sideline. Complain all you want about TT, but at a minimum they have not taken a step backwards at QB (yeah I get it - no improvement either). I'll remain optimistic on the coach and GM for now. I think we're in a better place than we were last year and not just treading water waiting for Rex Ryan's contract to run out, so yup "That's improvement". Not enough, but improvement all the same.

Bummer, I thought it was gonna be a thread about the Fun Bunch.

I like the sentiment, but we hold the tie-breaker over both and we may need the Raiders to beat the Chargers.

So what happens to all those hornets when he takes away their home?

Anchovy pulling his music off the radio seems like a public service to me. Another reason to be thankful.

I secretly plot to get the end slice with the indentation mold from the can each year...and by secretly plot I mean I grab it first. When I got up Wednesday morning wifey was already making her homemade cranberry sauce. I've tried it, it's OK, maybe I'd like it more if I didn't grow up with the other. Regardless, wifey will be serving homemade along with cranberry sauce in a can. For this I give thanks.
