  1. He could sell it. Not sure how this doesn't work for him.
  2. It would have to be discretionary imo. Unless they're going with it has to bounce before it reaches the catcher. Not sure why bounced pitches bother folks so much. Simple answer to me is to watch slo-pitch softball.
  3. Next up? Led Zeppelin: Hammer of the Gods
  4. I want my Vogelbach Vogelbach Vogelbach. Vogelbach. I want my Vogelbach Vogelbach Vogelbach. Vogelbach. Chili's Vogelbach ribs!
  5. Just read an article about 50 years of Saturday Night Live musical performances and the ones that stuck out for me the most weren't mentioned. What were your most memorable? I'll start with Devo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvqnC5GRcvw
  6. What would be their motivation?
  7. Anecdotally it didn't help with the New Jersey Giants fan base. While I was reveling in the Chiefs loss they were wallowing in misery at the Eagles domination. The ones I know turned it off 3rd quarter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
  8. LOL - if that happens my next years "The Bills won because of you" contribution may change.
  9. I went in to the game with a similar Giant D*uche vs Turd Sandwich perspective. And for sure it was a crappy game - seemed like time travel because when I grew up crappy SB's felt like the norm. With that said, I enjoyed the hell out of watching the Chefs get cooked and I'm glad I watched from start to finish. Good times.
  10. Back when I was in grade school there was this thing that I think was called the associative property where if a > b and b > c then we knew for sure that a > c. Folks apply that to football and it's often a fallacy.
  11. I didn't boycott but I also didn't think I'd enjoy this SB at all. I was wrong.
  12. The 1 thing I saw tonight was a defensive front that constantly pressured Mahomes in spite of not blitzing. afaik that's McD's philosophy but ourfront hasn't been good enough to bring the pressure.
  13. In the hearts and minds of folks like op.
  14. Mahomes has 33 yards passing to his team and 38 to the Eagles.
  15. On what basis do you have Y.A, Tittle below Josh?
  16. Congrats my fellow LI bro! JMO but folks are asking out of respect to you. When my eldest was born my Mom (Dad had already passed) told us she wanted to be Nanie to her grandkids. I was/am 100% cool with her wishes. It was important to her, but not to me. If I'm blessed to have grandkids I won't give a flying f@ck what they call me - I'll leave that to my kid and DIL to decide. Cool to be asked tho.
  17. What makes you convinced that Terry's perfectly content? I'm guessing you think that cuz he hasn't fired McD or Beane, is that correct?
  18. I never claimed to be a Norman Einstein.
  19. A few years ago I wasted an hour of my life plotting all of the SB final scores against the squares. It was no surprise that 0, 3 and 7 came up the most (iirc) - but what was interesting was how often the "bad" numbers came up for the final score - and often for the winning team. If you look at just the last 5 SB's the numbers were 5/2, 8/5, 3/0, 1/9, 1/0.
  20. I totally understand your sentiment, I don't consider Lynn Swann and Jerry Rice to be equals - but I don't think they segregate the lower tier guys from the upper crust in any way. When you're in, you're in. It's what makes the debate about who belongs and who doesn't interesting to me.
  21. Obviously not. And I completely disagree that there are tiers within the HOF. Once you're in, you're in. IMO, the tiers are (or should be) the barrier for entry - and I'm with you wrt they let too many in. It dilutes the greatness/achievements of players like Montana.
  22. 100%. Thanks for putting into words the way I look at it. For the record Kuechly passes my sniff test for greatness and I would have put him in - but I get the lack of longevity. And I've long thought that Eli is one of the most interesting/debatable candidates. Take away his two SB's and he's not even in the discussion. Ignoring them is ignoring his legacy in the history of the NFL. Fun stuff.
  23. JMO, but I despise the notion that a player might be worthy of the HOF, but not be worthy because it's their first year of eligibility. Which (if any) year would you cast a vote for Eli for HOF?
  24. I'm curious, how old is your son? Feel free to tell me to eff off if you don't wanna share. I've been pretty hard core the past few years that it's the inconsistent refs more than any grand conspiracy - and have been pounding that into my college age boys. It was either last year or the year before that we got royally hosed against the Eagles on a play where Josh got called for grounding on a play where he got horse-collared and there was a Bill receiver clearly in the vicinity. Same year we benefited by a non-call when we mugged Waller in the end zone on the last play of the game. Both calls were game changers, one for, one against. I hate the whiny b!tch attitude of most football fans towards refs but I have to admit that when I saw the replays of all the spots in Bills/Chiefs it made me think that I may be naive.
  25. I thought the same when I saw the Bill Burr/Rich Eisen conversation. I've been a strong proponent of the refs suck for every team equally but as fans we ignore/forget when the bad calls go our way. All of the short first down spots in our last game got my attention in a bad way.
