You must be a special lady (I got a lady) And a very exciting girl (So exciting, woo) You gotta be a special lady (What a lady) 'Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world (Oh) Sittin' on top of the world

I fully agree but it isn't her fault. She is just a lucky young woman with a certain amount of talent (I'm not sure how much because I don't know one of her songs) who came along at the right time. My daughter and her husband flew to Scotland to see one of her concerts. I don't understand this. If Jerry Garcia was alive and healthy, I would not fly to Scotland to see the Grateful Dead even if I was as rich as Bezos, and I'm a big Dead Fan. They were able to afford this trip but it makes no sense to me. Then again, I went to Alabama for a football game and it cost me a few thousand and my wife gets Amazon deliveries every day, so I suppose I'm a hypocrite.

Love is what I got, it's within my reach And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve Try and test that, you're bound to get served Loves what I got, don't start a riot You'll feel it when the dance gets hot Lovin' is what I got I said, remember that

This is true. It is also true that Brady was very appealing to many women. Men are already NFL Fans. Can you imagine the money that the NFL would bring in by attracting more women? Well, it is already happening, and I am NOT blaming Taylor Swift. She is simply a means for the NFL to increase advertising profits. If you are so sure that the NFL is 100% legit, I envy you. Unfortunately, I'm not a starry eyed person who thinks that everything is on the up and up.

That was good information. I do however wonder how injuries play into those numbers. For instance, in which caregory would we place Andrew Luck? Capable? Unsuccessful? Also, Reuben Foster had injuries AND off field issues. I think that he could have been the best LB in the NFL (jmo), but he and Luck might be counted as unsuccessful picks, or am I getting this wrong? Either way, thanks for the solid info.

OK, fine. Do you NOT think that the Chiefs are getting favorable calls because of the Swift/Kelce scenario? This is the ONLY facet of the subject that bothers me. How about you? Are you of the opinion that the Chiefs have not received any favorable calls from the refs due to this scenario?

I agree. She would at least seem to be a nice person and as a father of three girls I am happy to see a young woman suceed. What bothers me is my belief that the Chiefs have received and will continue to receive favorable calls from refs. The whole scenario with Taylor Swift is probably making them untold millions. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it isn't happening but it looks that way to me. I do however think that the implication that anyone who shares the above view is somehow hating on Taylor is absurd.

Excellent!!!

The Chiefs will now win even more games than before. I do wonder if the refs will let them cover every week.

I'm pretty sure defense oriented McDermott already has for a long time.

'Cause you believed in me Through my darkest night Put something better inside of me You brought me into the light I threw away all those crazy dreams I put them all behind And it was you, woman Right down the line

There might have been things I missed But don't be unkind It don't mean I'm blind Perhaps there's a thing or two I think of lying in bed I shouldn't have said But there it is You see it's all clear You were meant to be here From the beginning

I remember telling you how great this kid was after he signed with OSU. If he stays healthy the sky is the limit.

Imagine how they would be rated if they played decent teams.

Old man lying by the side of the road With the lorries rolling by Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn And the morning paper flies Dead man lying by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around

Finished with my woman 'cause She couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things But nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind If I don't find something to pacify

I'm going to put this up there on my list of all time great posts. Bravo!!!

Agreed. Robinson even looks faster than he did at Alabama, I and I know this would not seem possible. He is still far from a speedster, but; he is very strong with a head of steam and is a vicious blocker. He is actually doing a little better in the NFL than I expected. This sounds to be right up their alley.

Look at you You're a pageant You're everything That I've imagined But something's wrong I feel uneasy You show me Tell me you're not teasing I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying I don't know why sometimes I get frightened You can see my eyes, you can tell me you're not lying

I was there.....first row aisle seat, upper deck, center stage. The crowd was talking about him the entire great show.

My favorite is Keith Carlock. The man is beyond great. Jmo.

I think that most people on this board knew this was going to happen. If there were 64 playoff teams there would still be fans complaining that their team didn't make it. I think that when more games are scheduled, MANY players will refuse to play and I for one do not blame them. Between these conference title games and expanded playoffs, the kids will be playing in far too many games, thus risking serious injuries before their NFL careers. If they are going to expand the number of playoff teams (which is a matter of time imo), they should reduce the number of games per regular season and eliminate conference championship games which are useless imo. I don't know, should the SEC and the Big 10 simply have their own playoffs?

I'll take a melody and see, what I can do about it I'll take a simple C and G, and feel brand new about it I understand why the old fisherman Sail along, sail along, sail along Sail along, sail along Someday he'll be gone

Last night, I had the strangest dream I sailed away to China In a little rowboat to find ya And you said you had to get your laundry clean Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean? And you sai Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride Nobody gonna slow me down Oh no, I got to keep on moving Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride I'm runnin' and I won't touch ground Oh no, I got to keep on moving

Unless I am misinterpreting your post, you seem to feel that if the Bills fall short of your expectations this year, it will be because of the defense. Please correct me if I'm wrong and accept my apology. Imo, if the Bills falter this year (barring an injury to Josh) it will be due to a lack of offensive weapons. Since McDermott arrived in 2017, there have been nine NFL drafts. Seven of our first picks have been used on defensive players. I shouild note that two of these first picks were in round two (2020 and 2024). My thing is that the game has obviously changed since the 2010 rule changes. I can no longer visualize a Steel Curtain, or an 86 Bears defense ever happening again. I suppose that the old Arena League was ahead of it's time because the NFL is now an offensive league. I can't see how this can be denied. McDermott is a defensive coach, and I don't see how this will ever change. He has a Hall of Fame QB and fails to make providing him with weapons his top priority. I am not saying that McDermott is a "bad" coach. My thing is that his primary focus is defense, (secondary in particular) whereas three of his seven first round picks were cornerbacks, and imo there is no reason to believe that this will cease. Again, I think that McDermott is a good coach, but; if the Bills have a bad season this year it will be his fault (other than an injury to Josh) and he should be fired. https://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/teams/bills As always, jmo.
