Out of all the pairings when the playoffs started, this is the one I absolutely hated the most. You couldn’t pay me to watch the Swiftie SB. It’s either smarmy KC or the favorite team of my ex-sister-in-law who has made my family’s life a living hell the last 10 years. It’s lose-lose.
Considering driving my dog to the ocean here in CT to let him run in the sand on the beach in winter. If the weather is nice that day. And maybe I’ll get to be fitted with this thing so I can forget several things ever happened:

Deepest condolences.

Great?
At DT, Ted Washington. No one has come anywhere close since.
At DE Bruce, with an honorable mention to Mario Williams early on.

I don’t understand why we don’t use Cook more on screens and dump offs as he is clearly our best player in space. Yet we can throw a million WR screens that are painful to watch.
Did you not see Cook’s drops on screen passes this year? It was brutal, especially in clutch situations. -
It’s a bit sickening that the Vikings picked Justin Jefferson with the pick we traded to get Diggs.

Milano, as great as he is when he’s in there, is injured so often we just can’t depend on him to be on the field for the playoffs.
LBs take a beating, him more than many it seems.
-
After that ball went right through his f’in hands I don’t want to hear word one from Diggs insofar as any kind of criticism of the team. He failed Josh, the team, and the fans right there. Stay silent until training camp my dude.
So skipping the postgame presser is a whatever.

That was on Poyer. Bumped Kelce then let him go right past as he joined coverage on Gray. Doh!

I said the same thing last week, but I was informed that teams cannot use alternate uniforms in playoff games.
Just to note that the Rams were given permission to use their white unis in the Super Bowl they won a few years ago, rather than the “bone” ones which were officially their away set at the time. I mean… clearly the best decision. -
When he went down, I’m a bit chagrined to admit that I kinda cheered.
Will have one fabulous game and then the next eight Josh might as well be throwing to Mr. Magoo. No separation, no fight for the ball, running the wrong route / making the wrong break. On Josh’s first INT, Gabe was the target and he was 10 yards away from the ball after cutting inside when Josh was expecting outside / toward sideline. They are absolutely not in sync. Someone else can pay him in the off-season and get him TF out of here.

On the first KO, Bass booted it out of the end zone. Ball on the 25. Then their LT iirc had a false start penalty. And when they ran the next play, the ball was snapped from the 25 yard line.
Did I black out or something?

The original estimate for the build was $1.4 billion and any money over that estimate comes out of the Pegulas' pockets. The current cost estimate is now $1.7 billion and that is probably going to be significantly low. That means the Pegulas are already on the hook for $300 million. https://apnews.com/article/bills-new-stadium-cost-overruns-9846e00bd063cf2e8b12406af66c6ef9
Inflation continues to rise monthly. If you see reports that inflation is going down, what is actually happening is that the RATE of inflation is coming down. In layman's terms, what they're saying is that prices (inflation) went up again last month, but the amount that prices (inflation) rose last month was less than it rose the month before. A bit off semantics to put a positive spin on the fact that the cost of everything continues to go up.
Before it's all said and done I wouldn't be surprised if the overage is in the $600-700 million range. I know Terry and Kim are flush, but they're not Bezos flush. That is a massive amount of money to come up with, particularly when a lot of the Pegulas' wealth isn't cash sitting in a bank vault somewhere. I don't see a construction contractor accepting a LNG lease in Pennsylvania in trade for building the stadium.
If the Pegulas need to start cutting corners the promised "virtual tours" are a fine place start. I'd rather they skimp on stuff like that than the actual stadium.
The tour reporters have asked her why — given her parents are billionaires — she plays and I suppose this is exactly why Jessie Pegula has stayed on the WTA 🎾 circuit.
Gotta bring home some of that Wimbledon & Aussie Open bacon to fund the stadium overages!

Yes exactly. That has always been the one play from this game that sticks out
For me it’s Bruce’s sack where he just engulfed Bledsoe from behind. Iconic moment. Pic below, altho I can’t find anything else in a quick Google search… odd. Welcome to the NFL, rookie.1 hour ago, BillsPride12 said:Also of significance the debut of the new uniforms for the Patriots(which as a kid I have to admit I actually liked...I'm talking about the uniforms not the Patriots lol)
Yep, always liked this uni set from the Pats*. The grey facemasks look much better than the red they switched to the next year. It just makes it look better as a standalone piece, but they wanted to tie it into the rest of the uni / team colors. Also, the pants stripe emulating the flags / streams of the logo were a nice unique touch that they changed to bland stripes. And there’s something about the royal blue that’s lost when they went to navy… but in the same breath it is nice to have some defined color differentiation b/w our teams in the same division.
Yeah, it was this one… altho I can’t find a better one in a quick google search. Hmm.

For the kiddos, nieces and nephew, I was a proponent of the:
1 thing they want
1 thing they need
1 thing they wear
1 thing they read
Christmas hasn’t been festive here in quite a while tho. My mum passed in 2014. Haven’t seen one niece who I was very close with (my brother has severe Lyme disease and I would go over there and help when he had her) since 2015, due to 8 YEARS in family court and she now doesn’t really remember us #ParentalAlienation. I only see my other brother and his kids like once a year; they and their mum do their own thing ~1 hour away. I’m on the autism spectrum and don’t really connect with other people easily. So yeah. Haven’t put up the tree in 8 years and would just spend the day/s with my dog. He passed in November at almost 14 and it was wrecking me. Got a rescue goldendoodle about 3 weeks ago, which was my Christmas present for myself and for him and it’s still melancholy… but bearable now. I’ve been getting things for him this season — walking harness & new leash, treats, chewing bone, clipper set so I can do grooming myself and save some money…. If I need something through the year I just get it when I can instead of saving it for Christmas.
There are some in my Facebook circle who go very overboard. But for the most part, it seems to be getting more low-key.

Jesus. And now Los Dodgers also sign Yamamoto to a huge contract — 12 years at $325M.
Baseball really needs a salary cap. Or at least a salary ceiling that a team can’t spend over. The ‘luxury tax’ system does nothing but allow the few big markets to buy all of the talent &/or championships.
There is absolutely no parity. None. ONE guy on the Dodgers is making more in one year of his contract than 10 teams spend on their entire roster. The players union loves it I'm sure but it’s absolutely TERRIBLE for the game.

The car involved was a 2022. The recall ends with 2021 models and is right hand drive cars only. At least what i found on the net
Well… perhaps they need to expand the recall? -
If I were McD or on that sideline, I’d attack Hoculi on the field and not stop punching him in the face until…. I am F’IN PISSED!!!!!

BTW, that holding call on McGovern was the exact same move that the Iggles pulled on Groot on 3rd down on the Eagles first series. Right in front of Hochuli and no call. SO ***** YOU HOCHULI YOU CORRUPT LITTLE PRICK!!!!
Where does this prick live? A Hoculi still jobbing us. Some of the mafia need to visit him. There’s been 3 BS calls… so far. Painting the field yellow. 😡-

All Thanksgiving weekend games should feature throwback unis for every team that can (Panthers & Texans are the only ones that have no throwbacks). They used to do this and then stopped and I have absolutely no idea why.-

Was at the game and when they showed Josh on the Jumbotron during the National Anthem with the fresh cut I couldn't help but blurt out "JOSH GOT A HAIRCUT...IT's ON"
It was like when Rick Vaughn comes on the field in Major League 2 back to his old look & personality, tells the Randy Quaid fan character to go screw himself, and they dig out the “Wild Thing” tape for the PA system.
Josh was Josh again.

Seven Nation Army on Gamedays
in The Stadium Wall

I think it’s Wisconsin that plays U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name before the home game. They really crank it. At the beginning it almost feels like you’re coming to church with the harmonium music and then it breaks out. They also play “Jump Around” by House of Pain just before the start of the 4thQ. Started in 1998 and it’s awesome to see all the students and fans literally jump around. Especially at a big rivalry game.
Another college team would do “Mr. Brightside” and it seemed like it was a unique until frickin everyone started playing that all through any kind of game everywhere.
It would be cool to have our own signature song that is played at a specific time.
