  1. Now there is a super bold prediction!!! I know that it is an offense based league, and I do not like their QB. That said, they probably have the best defense in the NFL, and I'm not sure it is close. If their QB improves considerably (I know, big IF), a Super Bowl appearance by the Texans wouldn't surprise me. Jmo.
  2. Georgia and Indiana.....Two Saban disciples.
  3. One morning in the 90's I was driving to work on a Saturday morning to a very stressful job on a beautiful summer Saturday morning with the AC on, listening to DJ Pete Fornatale. I heard this song for the first time and found it to be very relaxing. I made a CD for my now wife that included "The Wind" and she too said that it beautiful and relaxing. I like when she relaxes LOL. I still hear it on my you tube mixes. You tube is GREAT! They keep otherwise forgotten music alive and accessible. I like bands that play some, even if slightly jazz influenced music such as Steely Dan and of course the Grateful Dead.
  4. Their defense is great. Teams need at least two men on every play to try to contain Anderson and he still makes plays. It is early, but Anderson looks to be on a trajectory of being an all time great. He makes the job easier for all of his fellow defenders, some of whom are very good players. This is not to say that Josh can't beat them. He certainly can but it isn't likely to be a cakewalk. Jmo. I agree and think that Stroud is a sub-par qb.
  5. It seems to be a smart signing imo. Will Anderson is the best defensive player in the NFL, and I'm not even sure there is a close second. Even at his age, Clowney might be able to put up some reasonable sack numbers playing opposite Anderson because of the coverage he demands. If Clowney has anything left, it could even give Houston an opportunity to rest Anderson at times. The Houston defense was already great. If Josh Allen was their qb they might be undefeated.
  6. McDermott must be great at interviews. Mr. Pegula brought him in and gave him complete control on day one. If this is a given, he will probably get some offers. Jmo.
  7. The town of Williamsville is great. There are all kinds of restaurants and breweries on the main drag. I love the Eagle House. Great entrees and great wings. There is even a close by park where you can go for walks and it even has a little waterfall. I don't remember the name of the park but it is near the Eagle House. I'm sure someone will know the name. Also, the people are extremely friendly. I love that town.
  8. What makes this stat even more astounding is the fact that in 2022, they actually used the #4 pick of the draft to get Sauce Gardner, a corner from Cincinnati of all places. Not only that, they used a 3rd and a 4th on defensive backs in 2025, which actually makes sense to me. The 4th was Malachi Moore (S) who I think will be a very good player and was a steal in the 4th imo. I think that if the Jets would have drafted a pass rusher instead of chasing a corner with the 4th pick, things would have been different. Maybe they would have had one interception lol. Despite my many rants about drafting corners early, I know that cb is an important position. That said, a corner at #4 is ridiculous. There appears to be holding on almost every play. Who needs a cb at #4? The jets have all of 22 wins since 2022. Stupid moves like this are a part of the reason why. Now, in the credit where its due dept, they actually received two first round picks for trading Gardner to the Colts. This was a GREAT trade for the Jets imo. Will they capitalize on it? History tells us no, because they are just too dumb as an organization.
  9. Not so much love for Bryce Paup, who before his injury was great imo.
  10. He must have been burning mad to do this. Something must have got him all steamed up.
  11. You are not wrong about the Bronx. It is sad because it was getting better. Not anymore. Sad indeed.
  12. Actually, I agree with the bolded. That said, people overdo it with wild animals. I have taken more chances in my life than I am able to count. I don't want a pet chimpanzee like "Travis" in Connecticut who ripped a lady's face off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_(chimpanzee) Or "Christian" the Lion. You are correct. I should not have used the word "imbeciles." Psychotics would have been a better fit.
  13. I will never understand the weird mfs that want to be around wild animals, thinking that they want to be "closer to nature," or some other nonsensical phrase. Look at these two idiots. They were on their honeymoon. One thing I do know for certain.....this would NEVER happen to people from an inner city ghetto. They are in more than enough danger and tend to have WAY more common sense than the affluent, thrill seeking imbeciles that can afford these trips. https://iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/2013-01-19-attack-by-rhino-spoils-honeymoon/
  14. The bolded makes the assumption that Beane was calling the shots. I strongly doubt this. Remember, Beane wasn't even there when McDermott gave the Mahomes pick to KC and of course drafted a cornerback instead. This on a team with serious QB issues. If McDermott did not luck into Josh Allen (remember, Mayfield and Darnold were taken before Josh) McDermott would have been just another poor Bills coach. He should get hired by a team as a secondary coach with zero power in terms of the draft. I wish him well but I am thrilled that he is gone.
  15. I don't think being stoned out was the only issue. My guess is that he was in fact high on something, but the main issue (which I refuse to name) would appear to be glaring. I mean really.
  16. Absolutely! He would have placed more emphasis on the cornerback position. With Geno Smith at QB, what else would a team need?
  17. For the record, Terry Saban is an intelligent, well educated woman who has stated that she did not like to be called "Miss Terry" for obvious reasons. That said, I have heard Coach Saban often call her that. He has stated in countless interviews that he was in charge at Alabama, but at home Terry is his boss. The Sabans give a ton of money to numerous charities that help the needy. They are not people who would endorse or make light of the horrors of slavery.
  18. Which really shouldn't be, whereas Coach McCorner focused on defense more than he did offense.
  19. Actually, those years were my favorite. Sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging but we came up with some innovative ideas and did manage to actually help some people. The Chief of the borough took credit for what we did and I totally didn't care. I did well in the end because they gave me a (pensionable) promotion. I can relate to your friend. The worst things I saw were when I worked in the worst places one could imagine. As a psychologist, I'm sure that he knows that he must compartmentalize the horrors he witnessed or he will be forever haunted by them. I have nightmares at least 5 nights per week. Sometimes more than one in a night. The good news is that they are not traumatic. I usually forgot equipment, or I'm getting written up for something stupid. It never bothers me, whereas I just accept it as a sort of alt life lol. I'm one of the lucky ones. A friend of mine has horror dreams of satan or Hitler chasing him, etc.
  20. This happens to be a subject at which I am rather well versed. My assignment was to investigate and handle domestic violence cases. Men are far less likely than women to report domestic violence, usually because they are too embarrassed to do so. That said, the fact is that women are also often too embarrassed to file reports. I probably had more than 100 male to female domestic violence cases for every one called in by a male against a female. I had a female partner who was beautiful. The few males who claimed to be (or actually were) victims wanted to talk to her. I was surprised initially by the fact that the women usually felt more comfortable talking to me. I suspect that they felt embarrassed telling their story to another woman. I don't doubt that some men who were victims didn't report these incidents. In fact, I'm sure of it. That said, there is ZERO question that there are more female victims than male victims. The numbers are not even remotely close and this is beyond dispute.
  21. Yeah, then toss in some CTE and you have a disaster waiting to happen.
  22. YES was utterly fantastic.
  23. I too will withhold judgement. That said, the fact that he is being held with no bail set is certainly not a good sign.
