SinceThe70s

A mashup of a popular song by The Verve with an Umphreys McGee song that I like a lot:

That sounds like a fun show. Enjoy!

fwiw an hour or so ago my son was on a site that that .12% of the brackets were alive for a perfect bracket.

The dogs are barking in the South Regional. 4 of 7 so far. Plus a cover for Texas A&M CC.

My son said it best this morning: why can't we have nice things? I'm assuming Diaz will be out for the season.

She was looking so right In her diamonds and frills Oh those big city nights In those high rolling hills Above all the lights She had all of her skills

Don't the sunrise look so pretty Never such a sight Like a rollin' into New York City With the skyline in the morning light Roll right through the night

Train death paintings, anti-meth murals Color the ghettos of N. Dakota

That song hit me. Beautiful. Reminded me of a song I heard on Chappelle I liked

Just added this to my Chill playlist. Thanks for the post.

Living in a dream Chasing a sound Told everybody I believe I’m Texas-bound Here I am Well I guess its no surprise Up to my knees in water Up to my ears in dragonflies

They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun

Jimi's playin' in the back room Led Zeppelin on stage There's a mirror ball twirlin' And a note from Page Like a water-washed diamond In a river of sin Goin' down like a whirlpool When you get sucked in Downtown Let's go downtown Downtown tonight

Old Richard Betts will tell ya Lord, he was born a Ramblin' Man, Well, he can ramble on back to Georgia and I won't give a damn

Answering your own question. Sweet. I've been following the conversation and am interested in both sides of the argument. Just trying to understand why you interjected what looked like a supercilious comment. Thanks for confirming.

I'm curious - did your take come from a straight up nobody as well? Just trying to understand how/if the bolded bolsters your point of view or has any relevance to the topic being discussed.

I love that one and probably use it way too much. This may seem odd but I think that phrase has as much merit as: When you fail to plan you plan to fail.

So take your hat off boy When you're talking to me And be there when I feed the tree

The like was for the mention of the Cup years - only time in my life that a team I root for had a sustained run of dominance. How you turned my contention that the NHL has not bestowed most favored nation status upon the Islanders into a claim of victimhood on my part is silly. Isles benefitted from a highly questionable review call last night. Has that been the pattern since the Cup years 40 years ago? Anyway, I'll bow out on this part of the discussion as well since I'm sure nobody else cares. Good luck to the Sabres the rest of the way - except on March 25!

If you think the New York Islanders have been the darling of the NHL for 40 years you are 100% out of touch. My Islanders have been a joke of a franchise for many years - google John Spano Islanders for proof. Amazingly embarrassing story in the midst of decades of decades of sucktitude since the 80's cup run. I could go on and on but suffice to say much like the Bills we are lucky the team didn't move.

Are you going with kick, deliberate redirect or both? From what I understand of the rules, kick or kicking motion is off the table since it was not off his foot/skate. Am I wrong about that? If not, why the silly soccer clip? If it's a matter of whether it was a deliberate redirect - that's subjective. I can see either point of view - not sure how you see that in real time replay and determine definitively that his intent wasn't to stop the puck, settle and roof one. But I've already said that my preference here would have been to keep the call on ice (No goal, right?). so I'll check out now unless someone has a different angle to discuss or if I got something grossly wrong.

Agreed - some folks were referring to the kicking motion - pretty sure that's a different rule, no? The rule you referenced calls out a deliberate attempt. As an Islander fan I could argue he was trying to stop/settle the puck and score. As a Sabre fan you're unlikely to ever see it that way. Refs called it no goal in real time - it should've stayed that way. IMO replay sucks more than it doesn't. Crappy way to win/lose a game.

Well he didn't actually kick it did he? Hit off his knee so kicking motion doesn't apply? @BillsFan4 pointed out rule about deliberately redirecting - which looks more appropriate. As an Islander fan I could argue (and replay officlals agreed) that he didn't deliberately re-direct - but if the call on ice was no goal, it should have stood as no goal. Crappy way to win/lose a game. Instant replay reviews suck.

@Gugny Didn't get a chance to respond - in part because I couldn't refute @Another Fan's point off the top of my head - at face value it felt wrong. It still does, but I'm having a hard time refuting it. I remember Aguilera being a decent hitter and at best a slightly above average starter as a Met. I'm also biased because I never watched much AL baseball. As a starter he never hit the highs that Gooden hit. Looking solely at saves Aguilera had a great run from 1990-1998. Then take a look at Randy Myers from 1988-1998. Looks like we missed out on some good relievers. I never fretted about Aguilera but Myers success with the Nasty Boys (him, Rob Dibble and Norm Charlton) always bothered me. We gave him up for John Franco. I had forgotten that - but probably another reason I never warmed up to Franco.
