  1. McBeane on the forefront of a game revolution. Starting offense - 1 QB, 2 HBs, 8 TEs. Who's gonna be prepared to stop that?
  2. Well, they made it look pretty easy in Spaceballs.
  3. He is completely right and I'm not really understanding all the hate on one of the greatest secondary players of all-time. It is clear that Rex ruined a very talented defense. First of all, a great leader coaches to their players ability and puts them in the best position possible to succeed. Instead, he tried to force them to play his way when the roster was not built that way at all. Remember Mario Williams dropping in coverage anyone? Second, his schemes were complex and confusing to the secondary especially. How many times were guys left completely wide open and them Gilmore turns around with his arms out basically saying WTF happened to my help? If I can see it easily on TV, and if your highly respected, HOF coach is saying it to you, shouldn't you maybe listen and make some adjustments? Rex ruined a good team. But I'm glad it happened, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting where we are today and I think that's a very good place to be.
  4. Uhhhh....did you watch Anderson play last year?
  5. Good. I like all the current Bills and I always like to have one that I can hate on. Why not bring back an old favorite Mr. Smith to be that guy once again. Hughes just isn't getting enough dumb penalties lately to justify it anymore and Mills is gone.
  6. Drove the green on a short par 4 once. Then, I proceeded to 3 put for a par. Ugh.
  7. I put Morrison there because of his writing and stage presence more than his vocal talent. The Doors were HUGE to an entire generation of Vietnam Vets and the whole anti-war movement. I don't think you are quite giving them the credit they deserve my friend. I could buy off on Cobain and Staley not peaking though. I did really like In Utero and think it is very underrated, and Staley did absolutely kill it in the AIC unplugged even when he was well into his addiction that would kill him just a couple years later. I just don't know enough about Rhoads and Winehouse to give a good assessment so I left them off completely.
  8. Had more to give: Duane Allman Cliff Burton Shannon Hoon Hendrix Joplin Bonham Keith Moon Otis Redding Sam Cooke Marvin Gaye Bradley Nowell Legendary Status only because died young and not really that great: Andrew Wood Sid Vicious Already peaked when they died, but still great: Morrison Cobain Weiland Mercury Staley Marley Once you get past 40 I don't put you on the list as dying too young.
  9. This post is confusing. Are you asking for entertainers who died young that are overrated because of their untimely demise?
  10. This has become a weekly thread and it's a bad one every single time.
  11. Sure it is.... Exactly. Side note - A Perfect Circle - Good, Puscifer - Terrible.
  12. So we shouldn't trade Shady for a 5th round pick like some posters wanted during the draft?
  13. Yep, a guy who is thought of so highly that they barely got a 2nd round pick for him.
  14. Atmosphere in that room is awesome. Everyone seems to be on the same page and genuinely excited.
  15. Your brain is trained to take short cuts. There is just too much info it is taking in to fully interpret it all in real time, so it makes assumptions. It sees something and then something that is very similar to it and assumes its the same thing. Once it does this, as far as you are concerned, it IS the same thing. I think that's what is happening here. If you focus on the right, it assumes the other two are spinning the same way since they are so similar and that is how your brain shows it to you. If you focus on the left, it does the same thing the other way. By the time you look at the opposite one directly there is enough focus on it for your brain to tell its going the other way, so it switches it. There was something similar on that show about mind tricks / illusions and such. Can't remember the name of it though, brain games? mind games? Something like that.
  16. Suzy-Qs Bar-B-Que Shack. It's a dump, it's in a bad neighborhood, it's only open 3 days a week and it will run out of ribs, but it's by far the best IMO.
  17. Not saying I don't like Josh or don't think he's going to be a great player very, very soon. I'm just saying comparing his and Big Ben's rookie year utilizing a statistical comparison is not the way to go since they are vastly different numbers. That's all.
  18. Honestly man, these stats aren't even close. Ben's season blew Josh's away. Sure, he may have had a better roster to work with, but his accuracy, yards per attempt, TD ratio, passer rating are all way above Josh's. Not exactly sure what you are going for here, but a stat comparison is not where you should have gone to compare him to Big Ben.
  19. We have plenty of money for 2020 season. Pick it up. We are never going to spend to the cap anyway. It's only a 1 year deal. FA's you have to commit for much longer most likely.
  20. Much better response than the other fella. Sanchez is only batting like .220 this season so far as well. Andujar was the 2 worst fielder defensive runs saved wise in the entire league last year. Can he improve? Sure, but all the pundits constantly talk about how he is a better DH or 1B fit. And his bat is no where near the level Beltre was when he came up, and he was still a teenager at the time. I haven't heard anyone compare Andujar's bat to Beltran's, not one. Torres and Frazier were already considered "top" prospects when they were traded to the Yankees. Torres was top 10, Frazier was top 40 (or around there). Hicks was already seen as one of the best fielding CF in the league when the Twins let him go (because of Buxton). His bat has gotten way better than expected though. Didi was also a highly touted prospect before the trade. I just have a different definition of "home grown" and thats fine. To me, if you aren't drafted or acquired well before you become a "top prospect", then you aren't really "home-grown." I mean, Torres was the main piece acquired in the Chapman deal and Frazier was the main piece in the Andrew MIller trade, those were big names traded at the time and high returns.
  21. Please enlighten me as to how Andujar is not the worst fielding 3b in the league. How Sanchez didn't hit .186 last year. How Severino hasn't pitched all year and his performance regressed significantly from July on last season. Or how any other of my statements weren't true. I despise the Yankees and I know more about them than you apparently.
  22. Super jackpot? A young pitcher that has shoulder problems now and wasn't even the same last year as the previous year. A 3B that is one of the worst defensive position players in the league. A catcher that hit below .200 last year. They got Torres from the Cubs, Stanton from the Fish (in a borderline collusion deal with Jeter). Chapman via FA. Bird can't stay on the field, Voit is bad. Didi FA. Frazier via the Indians. Who are all these home-grown young studs? I just count 1, Judge. The rest are not Yankees "home-grown" or not that good.
  23. 8k on a 13 month old M240i. I also work from home though.
  24. ....But, you didn't even have the #4 overall pick in your first round at all. To be fair though, most people didn't. The Raiders being the Raiders.
