  1. when i was younger and less jaded,  games were an event.  friends,  family,  tailgating,  the game,  the whole experience.  weather never affected me,  i sat in the upper tier, in the wind for the '94 Bills Raiders Championship game.  temps were near zero with wind chill reaching 32 degrees below zero.   now?  i dont want to be around all these people.   i dont want to fight traffic.   its just not worth the effort.   ill sit on the couch at home,  comfy,  not being annoyed by drunk guy #3 next to me.

  2. found the 2nd best QB in the league atm.  ez A for me.   its a team game,  but having a top 2 QB after all those years of suck,  is fantastic.   Allen is 1B right behind Mahomes at 1A imo.   hes done great with the roster,  finding no name guys who become guys.  he goes and fills needs.  is he perfect?  no,  but he has helped change this franchise into a destination for players.  A

  3. meh.  i dont really see much in Lawrence tbh.  i get it though,  whats the other options?  maybe he continues to improve and becomes a top ten QB.  maybe he doesnt and you just spent a sh-tload of money on a top 15 QB who barely breaks into that 15 imo.   whatever,  gratz Jaguars fans.   makes me happy that either the Phins have to pay Tua a ridiculous amount,  or cut him loose.   should be fun.

  4. stats can lie either way for whomever is looking to push a point.   we know JA17 is a baller,  let the rest of them be ignorant and hate on him.   its not a fight worth fighting.   in the end its about wins and losses,  and the NFL is the ultimate team sport.   that being said,  Lamar as MVP last season, with the stats he had,  and the team he had around him,  was one of the dumbest things ive ever seen in the NFL.

  5. this doesnt surprise me one bit.   USWNT played in Mexico some time ago,  and the stadium had fully kitted armed security ringing the pitch.  body armor,  tac helmets,  pistols,  the whole shebang,  for what was a tiny crowd compared to the capacity of the stadium they played in.  Central and South America is no joke.  the security situation down there is a mess.   so you want to send celebrity millionaires to some of the highest per capita cities for kidnapping,  riding around in armored vehicles?   the insurance companies must be having a fit.   next WWC is in Brazil,  and you have to wonder how safe its going to be for all the teams/players.  no hate to these countries,  but you cant ignore just how unsafe it is for foreigners,  even in the tourist zones.   you couldnt pay me to go to Mexico,  the cartels run a 1/4 of that country outright,  and have their fingers in nearly everything else in the other parts.  Brazil isnt much better.

     

    just another example of how your boss really doesnt care about you.  its all about the money.

  6. for a first round pick,  who was a man to man corner in college, its beyond me why he was drafted by Beane and McD.  surely McD,  a guy who knows corners,  knew there was a possibility of Elam not being comfortable with playing in a primarily zone defense.  round peg square hole.  Elam has shown flashes of being a good corner,  hes also shown to be a liability with penalties.  just not sure what you do with this young man.   im sure his confidence isnt great at this point.  seems like a dumb pick,  that has now affected this young mans future and wasted a valuable pick in the process.

  7. didnt mind Boomer or Simms.   im sure theyll be replaced with 2 guys that are either more boring or are louder and know nothing.  either way,  watching pregame shows is a waste of time now anyways,  theyre all bad.   imagine whats really happening here is,  fire old guys with big contracts,  hire new guys for less.   happens everywhere.

    I'm curious to see how Belichick plays the media. I am of the opinion that he is effectively blackballed from coaching again. If he is very candid to the point of dropping dirt on rival organizations I'll enjoy it with the expectation that he is finished. I believe Parcells, Gruden and Vermeil were the only coaches to go from TV back to coaching.

    yep im thinking Bill is blackballed as well.  think the league and the owners have had enough of him,  and knowing what he wants,  to break Shulas record,  theyre happy to keep him from getting it.
