Do they still have parlay cards? A few college games for the Saturday, and usually the full NFL Sunday schedule. I forget the odds, somehow pick 4 correct out of 4 games paid 10:1 ?
Just about every blue collar plant had an agent working them. Plenty of high schools, too.
I remember them and a tie was considered a lost bet, so none of the point spreads involved half points.

Let's not forget:
LSD (not that I ever tried it)
The Grateful Dead The toured for pretty much the entire decade
If you wanted to bet a football game you did so with the Mafia (or aome other gang affiliated illegal bookie. The biggest bet I ever made was as a very young teen, I bet $275 against $250 and took the Raiders over the Vikings. It was a blood bath.

In the songs I've been singing quite often a phrase
Comes close to the feeling of you
But I never suspected that one of those days
The wish of a song would come trueYou love for real
You show the feel
Of everything that touches you -

If the Bills had kept their draft pick and selected Mahones would he be going for his third ring this Sunday?
Without McDermott I would say probably yes.

Surf's up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song -
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed
Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto -

Glad he’s still dipping his toes in coaching. I wonder if he’s able to get his foot in the door, he’s been a bit of a heel on television.
Why not? Rex always has been into toes.

I guess neither Levy nor McDermott was her coach.

Absolutely I think the head coach drives the team. You're a fool to think otherwise. Obviously talent plays a huge role. But this isn't a playground with Josh Allen drawing plays in the dirt with a stick. Talent without coaching is talent wasted.
If your hatred for McDermott blinds you to his leadership in the second half of this season, or last year with Damar's near death on the field, then I don't know what to say.
You could start by not calling names. Trust me, your posts are legendary on this board for fan hating and rather mundane rants. Still, posters are tolerant of your incessant blasting of Bills Fans and absolving McDermott from any blame for anything.
Go back to your dream world. It must be fun.

Coaches have zero impact on their teams performance? Do I have that correct?
Did you read my post? I asked if you think McDermott is the PRIMARY reason that the Bills have made the playoffs. Josh Allen was/is the main reason why the Bills are good, not McDermott.
Do I have that correct?

But likely incorrect. Might as well resign yourselves to the hell of making the playoffs each year.
If you think that McDermott is the primary reason that the Bills make the playoffs, please send me a PM and tell me what drugs you are taking. I too want to get that high.
My guess is LSD. Am I close?

As an aside, I used to be a die hard Mets fan, and was always a fan of Mahomes Sr.
I think I was always drawn to these middle relievers for some reason— loved guys like Turk Wendell, Dennis
Cook, and Armando Benitez from those late 90s Mets teams too!
On one occasion I happened to be in the stands directly behind home plate field level at Shea Stadium when Armando Benitez was pitching. Having seen this post I googled him. He is listed at 6'4"/180. When I saw him it looked like he weighed 230 or even more.
Benitez was throwing the ball just so hard that I found it hard to believe that anybody even had a chance to even foul one off. The ball hitting the catchers mitt sounded like an explosion.
From what I gather he was a bit of a nut. I would not be at all shocked if he was on steroids but again, he looked unhitable and that night he was backing guys off the plate and striking them out seemingly at will.
His career went south and he wound up playing with the Long Island Ducks from what I read. Those guys make very little money so I suppose that he wasn't much of a saver lol.

Oh, now
But every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leave me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohAnna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free
Go with him -
Henry has always been one of my favorite players since his college days, but remember; even as far back as his college years he gets better with a larger number of carries. The man would literally beat up defenders, and I'm not at all sure that he is capable of a large number of carries any more.

We Bills Fans have become quarterback snobs, haven't we? We are slamming Tua as if he is garbage and while he is not an elite qb, he is more than twice as good as anything we had between the years of 1997 and 2017.
I mean we are looking back at JP Losman, Trent Edwards, a finished Drew Bledsoe, Tyrod Taylor, Fitz, Rob Johnson, Todd Collins and Doug Flutie (who may have been the best of this sorry bunch).
Looking back at that sad list, in those days we would have welcomed Tua, no?

Wow. Coach Saban also showed him the door at Alabama 2 years ago, firing him as OL Coach..
Iirc he ws hired by russ Brandon, his butt buddy from Syracuse. I never thought of him as a very good coach but I suppose that in those years no coach really stood a chance.

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumblin' away
Slowly learnin' that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorryTake on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two -

Told you time and again
I'll get all the love you've been denyingSooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win -

She made a billion on her tour in a year--we all can understand how "big" that is. This one SB's rating still has no impact on NFL overall revenue. The game was paid for 2 years ago. None of this matters.
Even if it does not matter immediately, how can increased, and new and different viewers NOT effect profits down the road? Do you think that the cameras are showing TS and Kelce with the band aid for no reason, or to turn a profit?
I hope that you don't sense any hostility in my responses. It's an interesting topic imo and we can certainly agree to disagree afaic.

You showed me how, how to leave myself behind
How to turn down the noise in my mind
Now I haven't got time for the pain
I haven't got room for the painI haven't the need for the pain
Not since I've known you

Oh, wow. Well, OK then. I mean, yes, oligarchs control both parties amd our republic is in danger but taking that to mean swift in a vegas suite with Jason at the SB is somehow tied to that is something different. I mean, the NFL amd it's team owners are billionaires and so not typically liberals.
I said nothing about liberals and/or conservatives. I'm talking about big companies making tons of money. Long ago if any sporting event was "fixed" it would be done by the mob which barely exists today. The government took over their rackets in a sense.

Obviously CBS makes that back by selling the ads for the game. Those ads are bought by companies with goods and services to sell. Theoretically, the Taylor Swift might have the potential for CBS to sell the ads for more and enhance THEIR bottom line (not the NFL's)....but CBS sold out its SB ads by Halloween--likely before the impact of this couple peaked.
None it will make a difference for the NFL's bottom line.
The NFL doesn't control the country. Pfizer and other huge businesses do. And Taylor Swift was famous and insanely popular well before Halloween. By then she was probably already worth 750 million.
Once again, I have never heard even one of her songs, but I almost get the feeling that you might not understand how big she is. Her popularity is in the Beatles/Elvis range from what I gather.
