I was talking to a buddy today, and we were lamenting how as kids we loved baseball, but now no longer follow it.
i was a die-hard Mets fan (would probably watch just about every game on TV), and knew everything about the Mets and MLB.
in 2002, when they threw dumb money at Mo Vaughn, decided to try to outspend the Yankees, and fired my beloved Bobby V, I basically quit following them (and baseball) cold turkey.
Anyone else doing something similar?
Yes. I am a recovering Jet Fan. I grew up in Queens and lived there for many years. I used to go to Shea Stadium and watch them. I admit that the place was a dump (it was owned ny NYC) but whatever. When they moved to New Jersey I turned my back on them. I hold no gripes against those from NJ but I am a New Yorker.
To this day they don't have their own stadium, and my thing is screw the Jets. The day they left NYC, I became a Bills fan and never looked back, nor will I ever.

McDermott showed what he was about the day he traded away the Mahomes pick to KC (and for scant return I might add). And for those who want to blame Beane, he was not yet with the team. If he didn't luck into Josh Allen we would probably be as bad as we were during the drought.
McDermott should be fired either now or after the season, but it will not happen. It's as if he cast a spell on Mr. Pegula, who gave him too much power in the organization on day one.

I could not be any happier with my dentist and my dental surgeon. They both are skilled, compassionate people. I have dental implants. My bottom teeth are one implant bridge. This alone cost me 25K, and this was 5 years ago. The uppers are implants as well. Now I can bit into a ribeye with no problems.
If anyone is thinking of implants and has the money, just do it. It will change your life.

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I've been through
Have left a mark on me
You've been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman
Right down the line -

It will be interesting to see how Kalen DeBoer responds to this Bama loss. I’ve never been sold on him being a smart coach. Dude almost gave away a Washington win in the playoffs by not knowing to take a knee. Those type of things matter at Bama. The SEC has a thin margin of error.
Agreed. There seems to be a lot to like about his offense but he seems like a very casual coach as compared to Saban. The players obviously are not accustomed to this and it showed on Saturday.
There is NO freaking possibility that Saban loses this game. Absolutely none. The game however did reinforce the fact to me that things without Saban will never be the same.

This was out of character behavior for Malachi Moore. I have never seen him act out like this. He is a player I would love to see on the Bills.
This would never, EVER have taken place if Nick Saban was his coach.

Friend come by, say looking for his hat
Wants to know where your husband's at
She said I don't know, he's on his way to the pen
Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again
She's on the road again, sure as you're born
Natural born easy, on the road again
She's on the road again, sure as you're born

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of goldYou'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

You REALLY have a question about what will "happen from there"? Really? I think we all know what will happen.
Well, much would depend on the health of our opponents. Do I think that we have the best chance of any team of winning the Super Bowl? No, not at all, but; it isn't 100% impossible that injuries to other teams will improve our chances.

Yep! Problem is the script is out. Our defense is too small to man up against smash mouth football.
I hear ya but we should be OK. The AFC East is extremely weak and this alone shoud guarantee us many wins. Tua is out, NE is a dumpster fire. The Jets have a good defense. That said, Rodgers made some good throws but on some plays he looked his age, and he took a couple of brutal hits. Their coach will be lucky to finish out the season.
I expect the Bills to coast to a division championship and we will see what happens from there.

Looks like Bama will be moving to #1. Gotta think no matter how this game ended the winner would be jumping over Texas.
I hope not. Saban hated when the press and the fans would tell the team just how great they are. Remember when he called it "rat poison?"
DeBoer looks very good but I still miss the GOAT.

Holy schnikes, man.
Division 1 just got put on notice.
It was a wonderful game, but it was not good for my blood pressure. They really need to stay focused and figure out how they gave up a seemingly insurmountable lead.
Next weekend I will be up in Maine and I'm 99% sure that I won't be able to see the game because it will be on the SEC Channel. Even if I do find a place to watch it, I'm thinking that my wife will get pretty upset, and it's unreasonable of me to blame her. I watch every Bills game and every Crimson Tide game so I have no basis to win an argument.
Whoever thought it would come to this?

what do people think about downtown Manhattan?
That would be a very bad, dangerous move. Prices are extremely high. Crime is WAY up (in spite of the phony stats). You will pay city income tax, and owning a car will be very costly. Parking alone might cost well into the thousands per year. Illegal aliens are camping out on the streets and preying on citizens, to include violent crimes. NYC is a sanctuary city. Wrt air travel, Pro Palestinian protesters have chosen airports as their place to demonstrate and delay air traffic.
Oh, and the mayor and most of his to aides are on their way to jail.
Other than the above, moving to NYC is a great idea.

I'm not at all sure how to feel about this game. Georgia did lose Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers (who I believe has the potential to be as good as or better than Kelce) to the draft. That is a lot to lose but they are still completely stacked with talented players. Let's face it, UGA is a powerhouse, fantastic team. Their great RG is out, but my guess is that they will just replace him with another monster. Kirby is a flat out sensational coach and possibly an even better recruiter.
Alabama has a great ground attack, they are 5 deep at tight end, and have excellent receivers. The OL is fine. QB? I wish I could say that I fully trust Milroe but I do not. He is slow to make decisions at times and has taken sacks when he could have ran for huge yardage. Milroe is a sensational runner but he really isn't the best scrambler. He has plenty of wide receivers but the big story is freshman Ryan Williams. Yeah, 28 receptions/285 yds./28.5 yds. per reception/ 4 TDs. Sounds good, right?
He is 17 YEARS OLD!!!! I really do hope that he stays healthy.
Oh, and I wish Nick Saban was still on the sidelines.
In any event, this should be a wonderful game for folks who truly do appreciate college football. I hope that no player on either team suffers an injury.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

How many are betting on games in some way right now and not getting caught?Good question. I'm also not sure how much they want to catch the star players, if at all.

The NFL is far more concerned with The KC Swifties making the Super Bowl than it is with betting.

Considering how much $$ some of these other jokers are making per year, how much will JA17 be making per year when he signs a new contract / renegotiated present contract?
80 mil per year? the way QB contracts are trending, doesn’t seem out of range, but crazy none the less.
When you put it like this, it really is amazing. I suppose in the not so far away future there will be billionaire quarterbacks. I'm not angry about this mind you. It really doesn't matter to me, but it's kinda hard to wrap my head around billionaire quarterbacks.

Well, I'm on my way
To the city lights
To the pretty face
That shines her light on the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train
I gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the lineSweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice
I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah -
And there you are,
Saying we have the moon, so now the stars,
When all you see
Is near disaster gazing down on you and me,
And there you're standing,
Saying we have the whole world in our hands,
When all you'll see,
Deep inside the world's controlling you and me
You'll see perpetual change
You'll see perpetual change -

They've been 1a and 1b for almost 5 years now, with Mahomes maintaining a slight edge.
But Josh Allen has passed Patrick Mahomes and is currently the best QB on planet Earth.
That is all.
I am still amazed watching Allen play. He really is perhaps the most gifted QB in NFL history. He makes difficult passes look easy with his combination of touch, placement, and of course arm strength.
I hope that I live long enough to see him inducted into the HOF.

I hear what you’re saying but I’ll judge the ***** out of him. If someone is paying you what he’s getting, get over whatever you are or aren’t feeling and live up to your end of the bargain.And I hear what you are saying but imo, scenes like this will only increase. Now, college players are driving around in Porsches. Many players will not let it affect them but I think that an increasing number of them will go wild with all of that money. Some of these kids will make more in college than I made in my entire life, and I'm not starving. But ya know, good for them. Many of them will spend the rest of their lives in pain, and they are super talented people.
I tend to forsee many more problems like Dashaun down the road, but this could also be me being pessimistic.
-
Deshaun is probably an example of a player who is no longer hungry.
I am of the opinion that not every player who is in their twenties and riding around in a Porsche with a million cash in his pocket will be hungry enough to play professional football. Watson was great at Clemson. Dabo still talks about him. Some players that have this much money seem to lose their motivation.
I'm not judging them either. Put me in that position at that age and I would rather not be sacked by Von Miller or some human missle safety on a blitz. I also would not want to take a punch from Mike Tyson. Nope, I'm sure that in my twenties I would rather hang out til all hours, party with the hottest women on the planet, and wake up when I feel like it.
My guess is that plenty of teams are going to eat tons of cap space in the future after getting stuck with players who are rich and no longer care, especially given the size of these QB contracts. Dak Prescott might make more money per year than some owners.

Doubtful. He’ll most likely be in protective or isolated from most of the others. He also has money or access to money. Not hard to pay others for protection.
So was Epstein.
When the big boys really want you ain't looking good my friend. Look at what is going on today, and btw, I doubt if Ghislaine Maxwell lasts much longer. Do you think she will live long enough to write a tell all book? I'm surprised they didn't get to her yet tbh.
