I remember reading about the big time Georgia Tech vs. UGA rivalry. There is even a name for it: "Clean Old-Fashioned Hate"! LOL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean,_Old-Fashioned_Hate

[I searched the forum, but could not find anything. If already posted, please merge or delete.] This was on Colin Cowherd's radio show yesterday (2/16/2021). He makes 11 QB predictions for this off-season: Here is the video I found: https://www.foxsports.com/watch/1862125635925 My summary of what he said: 1. Deshaun Watson will be traded to Carolina for Christan Mccaffrey, Teddy Bridgewater, and multiple first found picks. David Tepper, owner of Carolina, is highly aggressive and a roll-the-dice guy, like Steve Ballmer. Plus new head coach Matt Rhule has power and influence in the organization. 2. Teddy Bridgewater to Houston: Houston needs star power for marketability, which Christian Mccaffrey will give; and Bridgewater gives them a one-year gap QB. Bridgewater is a non-chaotic team guy, respected, stable, has a steady hand (which Houston needs), and can learn a new system fast. 3. The NY Jets draft Zach Wilson: a new GM always wants his own guy at QB, not leftovers (Sam Darnold). Wilson grades higher pre-draft than Darnold did. 4. Sam Darnold goes to Indianapolis. The Colts liked him pre-draft and run a run-first offense, which Darnold is perfect for. And Darnold needs a re-boot. Head coach Frank Reich likes athletic QB's, like he did Wentz. Phillip Rivers could not give them that or move the pocket. 5. Chicago acquires Carson Wentz. They already declined Mitch Trubisky's 5th year option and think Nick Foles is not the answer Wentz has a strong arm to cut through the Chicago wind. Their GM and coach are desperate as they are on the hot seat. Chicago needs someone to compete against Aaron Rodgers. 6. New England acquires Marcus Mariota, who is a strong runner and has more accuracy than Cam. Plus he will be a low cap hit, which New England likes. He also knows the AFC. They will be a better version on offense with Marcus than Cam. 7. Atlanta drafts Justin Fields, who can learn for a few years behind the aging Matt Ryan, who is still under contract for two more years. Fields is not NFL-ready yet. People also miss Michael Vick's athleticism, which Fields has and Ryan doesn't. Fields is also from Atlanta. 8. Houston drafts Trey Lance, who is not NFL-ready yet and can learn behind Bridgewater. He gives them the star power they need for marketability. They also get a great deal from Carolina with multiple first rounders and a star RB. 9. New Orleans re-signs Jameis Winston. He is cheap, which New Orleans needs; and will be better the second year in a system, even thuogh he did not start this year. Winston also led the NFL is passing yards just two years ago with 5,100 yards. He is better than Hill. 10. San Francisco retains Jimmy Garoppolo. He has won 75% of his games. SF needs a veteran QB to compete against Wilson, Stafford, and Murray, despite their misgivings about the durability of Garoppolo. 11. Dallas makes a deal to re-sign Dak Prescott. They were only 4-7 without him, but were at least somewhat decent with him before he got injured. He still works for Dallas; they just need to find the right dollar amount

In 2012, on the former BBMB, a hated poster named "Undertaker" (think Jerry Sulivan-like) from Oklahoma posted condolences for the drug death of Andy Reid's son, Garrett. From what I heard, one of the moderators ended up apologizing that a user by the name of Undertaker posted that. Undertaker then got angry, and I guess this eventually led to his ban from the site, IIRC.

Yep...and some places are so bad they reek of feces and urine from all the homeless. The only good thing is the weather. But as you say, some arts are more beautiful. Glad you and your girl got to experience it.

Yep, I lived in the SF Bay Area for many years. Ridiculous prices and taxes. Too much crime. You had the guts to say what I wanted to, lol!

[I searched and did not find this topic anywhere here. Please delete or merge if posted already.] Ugh. Why does this stuff happen? He was a multi-time Pro Bowler. https://sports.yahoo.com/kyle-juszczyks-hilarious-reason-signed-013412205.html Excerpt: "It seemed all but sure Juszczyk was headed to the Buffalo Bills in 2017 after spending his first four years with the Baltimore Ravens. However, Kristin, who was Juszczyk's girlfriend at the time, was in tears the night before he was set to sign because she did not want to live in Buffalo. So, what did Juszczyk do? He did what any good boyfriend would do, and tried to find a compromise. "The next day, I told my agent, 'Hey, if you can get San Francisco to just match [Buffalo's] offer, I'm there,'" Juszczyk said. "So, he came to them with that, and they did it.""

Got it! Thanks for the detailed explanation. I hope McD is reading this thread!

Good point, but it was mostly their D. Gronk, Brown, Fournette, and Brady didn't come until last season. As for Evan, the Bills could have drafted him (or Mack), but instead chose Sammy. Thanks Doug.

Why does McD insist on playing guys out of position like Oliver above, and Edmunds, whom most agree should be moved to the outside?? Ugh.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree; it is a little strange, but nowadays just about anything goes. Enemies on the field are friends in the off-season.

Is that a Jaguars shirt? I couldn't tell. If so...he is in Jacksonville! Maybe his friend made him do it!

No, they are sweat pants rolled up, haha!

In the olden days you could. Think Montana-Young, Kelly-Reich, or Elway-Kubiak. I miss those days.

Thanks for posting this. The Bills need one more playmaker on both sides of the ball. And interior OL help. But you can list one thing, lol.

Those were the days. Ferguson, Grant, McKenzie, Dobler, Butler, Jones, Devlin, Lewis, Williams, White, Bermuda Triangle, Hooks, Romes, Mike-Mayer, Cater! Ahhh..the memories.

At first I thought you meant Jake From, lol.

Depends if Brees retires. [EDIT: already posted] Ugh. Don't remind me. Buffalo blew a 14-0 lead at Baltimore in 1980. I broke out balling as a child.

Nice analysis. But if I am Indy, I am not giving up two firsts and a QB for Stafford.

So why did he go to New England? The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: guess who becomes head coach when Belichick retires, which will be soon?

You mean "worst". The best rushing team may not actually need him, but a poor team may, kind of like the Jets taking Gore.

Neither are they in baseball for pitchers, but they are.

Buffalo cannot draft at 29. The highest they could get is 30. The loser of the NCFCG would draft first at 29 since they would have a worse record (Tampa Bay) or worse SOS (Green Bay).

Nice video!!!!

Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Tom Flores was named a finalist though!
