    I watched most of this last night.  Pretty fun for nostalgia already those songs.  She was pretty funny too talking to the crowd about her drinking acid and flashing her chest growing up going to these festivals.  Haha 

     

     

    I forgot how raw she used to seem.  She’s a much more mainstream friendly entertainer today.

    Kinda crazy and fun looking back at the Rex hire as it would be the last dysfunctional hire and after that would usher in McD and his process era.  I want a Super Bowl as bad as anybody but compared to the drought years it's been all gravy ever since.  Hard to believe Rex was 10 years ago already.  Holy Hell does time fly by!

    Fun off season viewing years back

    With the Jets passing on Ryan as a coach, I wonder if he'll go into politics.  Perfect place for a clown like him. 🤨

    Funny you say that.  I just made an analogy to the last election post in the PPP part of the site about Rex.

    He's akin to taking back your crazy, toxic ex-girlfriend because you're in a dry spell. Five minutes after taking her back, you wish you'd just stuck with porn. :devil: 

     

    I hope they do hire him. For a franchise that's done nothing outside of the 1969 Namath SB team, their fans are the most uninformed sh*t talkers on the planet. They don't deserve happiness or success. Ever.

    My man, a lot of them overlap as being Mets fans.  LOL

    What does McCoy have to do with the Rex hiring? It was a horrible choice, plain and simple. I hope the Jest are stupid enough to take him back. Some of their dopey talking heads are advocating for it. I hope the dysfunction in NJ never ends.

    Well to be fair to the Jets fans who else is there to excite them even a little?

     

    At least with Rex fans feel like hey we might at least get lip service.  

  5. Jets fans with Rex Ryan now are very representative to me of the average “normal” voter.

     

    They look at Rex as having some success but largely someone with no substance to them.  After the last few years though they have got absolutely nothing to cheer for.

     

    So yeah I can’t blame anyone that thinks Hey Now At least he offers us some excitement even if there’s no substance.  Better than what we feel now.

    I remember getting a call from a Jets fan friend. When a Jets fan feels bad for you, times are bad. Dude is such a fraud....

    When he got fired I had a Jets fan try to argue his tenure as coach here wasn’t that bad overall if he went 15-16 overall with Tyrod and at times EJ as his QB.  
     

    Yeah I guess on paper it didn’t look terrible but to me that shows you really kind of have to follow teams day in and day out to really know.  Rex just never felt like a good fit.

     

    Anyway the point of the thread was to pinpoint more how far the team has come since then.

    In reality Rex was only here 2 years ago and his time at this point is largely forgivable and forgettable to me.  I saw that and it's just kind of a moment me realizes how far this team came since then.  Now 5 AFC East conference titles in a row and a consistent threat in the playoffs.  I mean even down 7-0 today I wasn't stressed in the slightest.

     

    Rex- I'll admit I did like that hire at the time but wasn't sold on him.  I wasn't lurking these boards at the time but I found it hilarious now 95% of the former BBMB like loved that hire in real time.  

     

    And in reality when Josh was drafted I think it was mainly 50/50 around here?  It's amusing to see fans that edited their opinion of Josh on that draft thread from 2018.

    I had an anti-male feminist teacher.  She starts the first class bashing men- “who abuses women?  MEN”. “Who are serial killers?  MEN”. She continued this bashing.   I started marking every time she bashed men.  Students were writing this madness down.  After over 10 man bashing opinions by this lunatic, I interrupted her.

    ”who are kleptomaniacs?  Women.”  “What do serial killers have in common?  Abusive mothers”.  “You obviously have a bias against men.  Im here to learn knowledge, not hate.  See you later”.   And I walked out and dropped the class

     

    At the risk of the thread into PPP territory I still think today this teachers views are really quite common in colleges.

     

    Plays a part I think why younger men have been documented to struggle as much they are now.

    I once had an African American history professor for an African American history class show us the same documentary (slavery by another name )four times over the course of a 15 week semester because she kept forgetting she showed it to us. She was older and may have started on her path to serious memory issues. Who knows. She isn't there anymore. It was pretty funny though to see her repeatedly ask if we had seen the documentary, us basically lying and saying "no we hadn't" and then her showing it again and basically doing whatever at the back of the room while we worked on course work for other classes. I and other students had saved our older work sheets on the film and would just copy the answers over very quickly. Basically got us study hall work sessions.

     

    She also gave As to most of the class if you simply agreed with her and said "black people had it bad and still do because A, B, C reasons." I simply wrote a paper on Slavery by Another Name for my final to really show I had learned the material and paid attention the four times I watched it in class....I had a classmate who was foreign who all of this was new to (she literally said MLK was the nice black guy and Malcolm X the mean one during the first week) and she even got an A by the end simply parroting whatever the professor said. 

     

    I had another professor who taught French (Gen Ed requirement) who came from the Congo. Dude opened up the first day about how he came to the US and that his mom and sister was raped in the Congo years ago by soldiers.....real ice breaker discussion there....Dude played alot of African French language movies and had us basically try to answer questions in French. Mind you we were all beginners of sorts. Dude also used to work as a school for troubled people and told us a story of how one of his female students tried to escape and when he went after her, she started screaming "there is a large black man chasing me trying to rape me" as she ran the school and school yard. Another lovely ice breaker topic that first week of class 

     

     

     

     

  10. Most famous people's death I don't exactly feel at all.  Like even watching the Rocky films millions of times, Carl Weathers death didn't hurt me.  But there's usually one once in a while that stings a bit.

     

    Last year it was Shannen Doherty.  Pretty girl/woman and I know she struggled years with cancer and fought hard against it.  

     

    Plus I associate her with the 80's/90's/2000's 

  11. Loved the man himself.....  his presidency uggh I'll say it was before my time to give a strong opinion.

     

     

    His Crisis of Confidence Speech.....  he seemed a very introspective guy.  I could see why that speech would turn people off.

     

     

    At the same time though I do think he was trying to emphasize with the people in the way he knew best......   which is much much more than today's Democrats.  Jimmy said in that speech "I feel your pain".  All the Dems tried to do the last 4 years was convince us this was like the greatest economy ever and brought in top after top economists to tell it so.  All that did was prove extremely condescending and worse insulting to working people everywhere . Kamala did try late in her campaign to offer tax cuts to new home owners and emphasized working at McDonald's.....  but the damage was so done by that point.

    The game is nothing but 3 pointers now. It's boring. No teams have identities.

     

    So I propose a few things:

     

    Get rid of the corner 3. 

    Extend the line out to the benches. Or move the line back a foot. 

     

    That should do it.

     

    Makes a lot of sense.

     

    It was always seen as a specialist shot.  
     

    But since everyone can shoot from out there today in the league totally defeats the purpose
