    Nothing more satisfying after cartoons went off the air on Saturday afternoon, during the winter, than dialing up a curling match 

    Too much finesse with all that subtlety and sweeping.  You ain't trying unless your rock ends up two rinks over.  A variation on my billiards philosophy of hit them hard enough, something will go in. 😁

    Looks like Baker Mayfield to become FA

    This would be a pretty big challenge. He's already had Darnold and Mike White. He could sign Josh Rosen tomorrow if he wanted. Besides the heavy lift of getting Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, he would have to get Kyle Lauetta, Luke Falk, and Tanner Lee out of retirement. Then there is Danny Etling, who is in the UFL, and Alex McGough and Logan Whiteside who are on the Packers' and Falcons' practice squads, respectively. That leaves good 'ole Mason Rudolph. 

    I wager he would settle for the 'Big 5'.  Already tried Darnold, and he could get Rosen, Mayfield, Lamar, and that 'baby faced' kid from Wyoming.  Can't recall his name now. 🤔

    I thought 'Mason Rudolph' were two of Santa's reindeer.

    I actually think he would be perfect for the Jets. Luckily they won't do that since the player/GM wont want anyone other than his buddies in the room with him

    Just sell Woody on the prospect of having every QB drafted in 2018 eventually wearing the Jets uniform.  He'll lap that up. 😁

    TV Shows you recall liking that seemed to disappear

    Go back to the early 2000s for 'Boomtown'.  Two seasons, first season was done in the 'Rashomon' style, where the viewer repeatedly views a crime through the eyes of different parties to the situation.  Deemed too complicated to follow by NBC, dumbed down to a second season that only ran 6 episodes of a run of the mill police procedural.  Graham Yost was the creator / producer.  Excellent cast.

    I wonder what would be on a Subway sandwich named for Rex Ryan? 🤔

    There's another off-season thread for you: 'Subway Sandwiches Inspired by NFL Players and Coaches'.

     

    The Rex Ryan:  Triple baloney on plain white roll, lots of mayo.  Before the 'sandwich artist' making it delivers it to the customer, they drop back the extra ingredients into the bins. 🤨

    It ain’t gonna help, 

    I read the thread title, and immediately thought of Seinfeld saying "Oh, that will fix everything."

    I haven't looked at the Gang Green forum yet, but the majority will probably be ready to hang Woody Johnson, for rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. 😁

    I love the off-season. Debating the clothing options for multimillionaires next season. 

    I'll have Gabby Greta stop by your office to discuss local matters. 🤔😁

    I used to feel that way, but I changed my tune (excuse the pun). Two reasons:

     

    1. I heard the song "I've Been Everywhere" in a commercial and although I wasn't familiar with the song, I recognized the voice of Johnny Cash. I hadn't heard much of his music other than Folsom, A Boy Named Sue, and a couple of his songs that the Grateful Dead had covered, so I bought the compilation album "Cash" and discovered a bunch more songs that I loved. I've heard a few other songs in commercials that I hadn't heard before, looked them up, and bought some music. You can argue that it's a marketing ploy, but the way I see it is that it's exposing the new generation to older music.

     

    2. If you work for a company that produces something, aren't you effectively "selling out your talents?" Why should artists be any different? I'm a freelance technical writer who writes for e-mags and print trade journals. Sometimes I write an article that's sponsored by a vendor. Am I selling out?

     

     

     

    I always found it ironic that 'Fortunate Son', written as an anti war song was co-opted by Levis to sell pants.  I also liked how John Fogerty went after the record label for selling the rights to the song.

    Now that we're in the off season, someone should come up with a thread for the 'All Time - All Star Clueless Team', players, coaches, GMs, owners.  Wrecks Ryan would be right up there, based upon his own estimation of his skills, abilities, and humility. 🤨
