Historical memory at the drop of a hat, narrative of increasing specialization, and explanation why at the professional level, it's very difficult for a specialist to be good at other specialized positions (such as punter and kicker.) Obviously a bright guy and endearing if you like rooting for the dark side. I take rivalries in sports to be equatable with the antagonisms of professional wrestling. The difference is the particular obnoxious qualities of certain fan bases adds a charge to the animous. Anyway, it's fun to revile the Sith Lord and Tom Terrific. ESPN sycophancy over the years has also contributed to why they are fun to hate, but as human beings, of course, they possess admirable qualities . . . alright, folks, go ahead and report😈 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with overconfidence off of the 51 - 3 drubbing of the Raiders and consequent partying to excess before the game, he's the main reason we haven't won a Super Bowl. But yes, a gifted SOB. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I can say what I want? He is a proven cheater and every year without Tom he looks more like a great DC and a below average HC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) 5 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: An uncomfortable but true thing. If one is being serious (against my intentions here, actually,) the fascist aesthetic as a whole, its heavy-handed "monumental" giganticism, the sort of thing evident in Speer's architecture for instance is grandiose, oppressive, obvious, as well as jejune. The idolization of heroic, youthful masculinity, when scrutinized, indicates a truly immature state, a lack of developed capacity to recognize beauty in the ephemeral, the imperfect, that which endures time and its complexities. All that said, they nailed the uniforms. Edited September 18, 2021 by Dr. Who 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
