    Business in general is cold man. I left my old company in June last year and then found out like a week ago they fired every remote employee (which I was) the week of Thanksgiving last year. My old boss called me to tell me I got out at the exact right time 

     

     

     

    Yeah, business sucks big balls.

     

    I went to a funeral for my father-in-law about 5 years ago. It was a 12 hour drive just to get there. My boss called me the day before the funeral and asked me to come back cause i was, "putting them in a bad spot by not being there".........1) how is that my problem if they are short staffed.......2) how many times am i going to go to a funeral that's 12 hours away?........3) you gotta have some pretty big brass balls to make that statement to me any time, let alone at a funeral

     

    My work ethic completely plummeted when i got back......i didn't last much longer than 3 months after that......and i didn't care.

    The difference between us beating the Chiefs last season vs what actually happened could solely be explained by the absence of Milano. He plays in that game and we win. 

     

     

     

     

    Not necessarily.......if he plays in that game, there's a good chance we win, however, teams have figured out that if they can isolate and neutralize him, they can take him right out of the game altogether.

    There's been a few head scratching games where it looked like he didn't even show up, nor make any kind of impact on the outcome. Are you telling me KC wouldn't have game planned for him?........like, come on, man.

  3. At Bama, we used to call him, "one read Tua"....he is fantastic when the play design centers on one and only read, however, when the play breaks down and he is forced to improvise, he can't do it.

    College could hide his flaws.....not so much in the NFL.

     

    The Miami HC has been doing a fantastic job at game planning for ole "one read" and devising the O around him to hide his flaws, but you give Tua more than one thing to think about or more than one option and well, you've all seen the results on the field.

    I knew the Fins taking Tua as their draft pick was a big, big mistake for them, however, as long as he is in our division, it's going to work out well for us.

  4. Surf Nazis Must Die.......a low budget classic.

     

    Yor: The Hunter from the Future.......for any sci-fi buffs out there

     

    Eating Raoul......probably the best B movie i've ever seen and it's not even close.

     

    The Toxi Avenger 1/2/3........you want B movies?......come and get em.

     

    Troll 2.......it's like watching a trainwreck, but you can't look away.

     

    Birdemic: Shock and Terror..........watch "The Birds" and flush your head in the toilet at the same time.......yep.

     

    Xtro 1/2/3........shockingly bad, yet shockingly good

     

    Kentucky Fried Movie.........think of Naked Gun and Airplane all rolled into one

     

  5. I was born in the summer of love and i will always remember a saying my old man used to say, "we never knew that we were making memories....we just knew we were having fun".

  6. I was the biggest die-hard HS fan since the beginning, however, i cancelled my Sirius/XM subscription a couple years ago cause i lost interest.....there were just no fresh ideas and the show became a podcast of sorts and seemed to have "lost" something in their transition from the studio to their homes.

    I highly doubt that any one school is making a billion dollars, and even if they were, I doubt it could be pinpointed to one (or even a few) player who is responsible for that. IOW, the Alabamas, Ohio States, Norte Dames, et al will ALWAYS sellout their stadiums, have huge merchandise sales, and garner big tv ratings (unless they absolutely stink).

     

     

     

    Even if they absolutely stink, they are still selling out every game, selling merchandise and getting the massive t.v. ratings.

    i mean, I don’t think anyone considered him worse than the worst safety in the entire nfl when he was playing for us the year prior and im positive no one here saw enough reps from him last year to make that judgement

     

    its just over correcting the opposite direction to make a claim like that 

     

    once off his rookie deal he will struggle to find work potentially but I doubt if he gets cut today his career is done 

     

     

     

    And we can agree to disagree.....i believe he is done, whether cut or not. The guy had like 2 snaps all season and one god-awful fake punt. That is highly not worth a roster spot, not even close to potential performance on the field capabilities and no other franchise would have him other than on the PS.

     

    sorry.......not sorry. 

  9. Honestly, if it wasn't for the Bills, i don't know any other team that would even have the guy on their roster. Now, i'm not putting him down or degrading him.....i'm simply saying that he is not good.

     

    He was good last year for an NFL "feel good" story, but as a player taking a roster spot with his poor performance on the field, if i was a HC around the league, i really wouldn't want him on my roster when there are other more viable choices available to fill a spot or need.

     

    sorry.......not sorry.

    That, and he’s 73.

     

     

    Saban doesn't seem the type to retire the way he did, even at 73.

    He seems to me to be the type of guy to win one more Natty and then hang his hat. I think he knew he would never win another CFP with the NIL and transfer portal in effect and decided it was time to walk away.

     

    That is solely my feelings on it, however, i don't think i'm very much wrong on it.

    It's pretty much why Nick Saban quit coaching. IMHO, NIL money is not good for college sports, not good at all.

     

     

     

    Saban knew the jig was up and he could no longer compete for blue chippers, when the NIL and transfer portal came into effect. He no longer held the "market share" and thus, turned Bama into just another college program like everyone else who had to claw and scratch and promote for players across the country. He no longer held the upper hand on other schools, he knew it and he retired.

    Can’t lie.. I did literally just that last year. 

     

    Broke up, got back together.. rinse/repeat. 
     

    In the end, sometimes you’re just chasing the feeling you had in the early years of the relationship, without acknowledging that y’all just grew apart. 
     

     

     

     

     

     

    My old man used to say, "if you see the same tree twice in the forest, your lost"......yeah, let that one sink in.

    The attendance was 75,141. I am surprised Ralph, or a local company didn't buy up the remaining tickets. It wasn't that far off from a sellout as the stadium held 80,020 back then.

     

     

     

    We had a blackout of the game in the area where i lived....Ralph would never have bought up any remaining tickets (like out of the goodness of his heart or as a testament of how much he appreciated the fans?.....bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha). They wanted people to head to the stadium, forcing us to pay to watch and hence the blackout.

    Things like this don't happen too much these days, as there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many ways to watch the games, via streaming, illegal sites, etc.....the teams know they can't bully the fans anymore like they could in the old days and as much as i liked RW, he was half the problem.
