  1. Well sure, that fits. I can see Trump being a big fan of Lou's famous line “They're killing me, Whitey; they're killing me!
  2. Yep, they sucked. http://www.openculture.com/2018/09/led-zeppelin-reunited-crashed-burned-live-aid-1985.html Then again, it gave them the motivation to practice hard for the 2007 "Celebration Day" concert, which was a wonderful career sendoff...
  3. Tough news to start the day. I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and joy in creating/engineering things. RIP...
  4. Well, if you talk to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, "played" is a pretty charitable characteration...
  5. These were HQ jobs, so not likely. Especially with the $600 per week pandemic relief payments going away at the end of July. Regular weekly NYS unemploymment checks would probably be $250 to $350, so a lot less income than they were likely making...
  6. March 12th, the last day before the lockdown. The banking industry still hasn't gone completely casual, with front line sales and management folks still suited up 80% of the time. The problem with Brooks Brothers was a value/price imbalance. Too expensive for what they offered in terms of quality. And an inability to shift focus with changing times...
  7. And the opposite of that POV is why some guys go to the Pro Bowl year after year. As Marv used to say, "get a reputation as an early riser and you can sleep in til noon every day..."

  11. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/07/05/kim-pegula-bills-owner-fmia-guest-nfl/ I really enjoyed the bit about "Employees are family." A whole lot of hot air / PR-speak to unpack in that column...
  12. Next year's third round pick. Pick the phone up, get er' done...
  13. Should have been an extra penalty for being a repeat offender. Loss of multiple draft picks, rather than just one...
  14. Agreed. A significant portion of that "fan base" will turn on him like a MF if he underperforms. Boston's actually a tough market for a guy like Newton and the pressure to follow the GOAT will be enormous. If anybody's head is going to explode, it's likely to be Cam's rather than BB's...
  15. It has to do with Newton picking a team and fitting the salary under the cap, not free market supply/demand economics...
  16. Until 2016, he was an assistant to the coaching staff of the New England Patriots. smh...
