    Who is this handsome fellow?
  5. My daughter was a soccer fan as long as she herself played in middle school and high school. She even bought a "Gotze" jersey (he was the guy who scored the winning goal for Germany at the 2014 World Cup). My son is an avid Buffalo Bills fan, although we left Rochester for Texas when he was just four. As he is now at UT Austin, he contemplated to attend the Bills-Texans playoff game last year, but could not afford it. He and his girlfriend are dedicated Texas (UT Austin) fans; she played and he is still playing in the Longhorn band (tenor saxophone and tuba, resp.)
  6. As it was said before, it depends very much on the genre. I do not like most country music, and the melody and lyrics of this song are not very interesting. But, man, can he play guitar.... Let me introduce: Albert Lee! (BTW, he is English; and he was sometimes confused with Alvin Lee of Ten Years After)
  7. Amazing that a 63 year old will make the cut - Bernhard Langer (-3). He won his first Masters 35 years ago.
  8. If you are referring to the Midseason Award Predictions on nfl.com, the single vote for Carr came from ... his brother David. The other votes were pretty evenly split between Wilson and Mahomes.
  9. Are you as confident in this prediction as in the one below? "I just can't see the McClap/Allen combination winning against a Belichik team even in a down year for the Patriots. And ironically this is the Pats SB/season on the line with all the pressure being on the Bills, not vice versa. Hoodie is always lurking....watching....analyzing game film and breaking down every singular play of his opponents. And considering he loves to take away a team's strength it will not be good for Allen since he'll bait him into throwing at Diggs being triple covered over and over which almost resulted in multiple INT's against the Jets last week. I think the Pats jump off to a 10+ lead early and things will go south in a hurry as the Bills abandon their gameplan.... Pats 38 Bills 16"
  10. "Expirement" is an interesting Freudian slip. Do you (subconsciously) believe that the season will end ("expire") prematurely?
  11. Dave Greenfield, keyboard player of The Stranglers, died in May 2020. RIP
  12. Could not find a version with video. "Sometimes I feel like my room is wired"

    Don't know his name, but he looks like the starting point of a reverse evolution from human to ape.
  16. RIP Tim Smith He was the mastermind behind the Cardiacs. In my favorite record store back in Germany in the mid-1980s, they had 10 pairs of headphones hanging from the ceiling above the album racks, with sneak peaks of some new items. One day I had grabbed a pair of headphones with something, well, different - the Cardiacs. The following is arguable their most famous song (the video is from summer of 1990, not 2015 as stated in the title). Enjoy!
  17. I also thought of a skipper in an America's Cup race. These things "fly" at speeds up to 50 mph, and you have to coordinate 11 guys to keep it on course.
  18. With 500 ft wings, this must have been an alien spaceship. A Boeing 757 (which is the model that crashed into the Pentagon) has a total wingspan of less than 130 ft.
