  1. Wow, are people in here really blaming Mahomes and claiming the Chiefs have issues after 1 game?  1 freaking game?  The first game of the season none the less.  My lord.  Tell me he has lost something or the Chiefs aren't a threat after October.  Whoever is saying this is going to look like a fool.

     

    Probably same folks saying Brady was done after we beat him 31-0 in the 2003 opener.

    I caught the tail end of it, but the 70s are always going to be my favorite.  The music was fantastic; bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, and Led Zeppelin were in their primes... even the themes to TV shows were amazing.  This was also the decade that consumer electronics really took off.  As a kid there was nothing more fun to me than electronic games - we fought over handheld Coleco soccer and Mattel football, and when the first kids started getting Ataris they had half the neighborhood in their living room.  Throw in memories of my dad rocking those big Elvis sideburns, and the 70s is an easy pick for me

    If 1966-1975 was a decade, that would be hands down the best decade of music ever.  70s faded in the second half IMO with more Journey/Foreigner/REO/Supertramp type bands.  Led had released I, II, III, IV all by 1971.

  3. No matter who you are talking to it is pretty much guaranteed that they know more about something than you do.  Just because they are not knowledgeable about what you are, doesn't mean they are stupid.

    Experiences > Things.

     

    We are taking our 9 year old grandson to NYC next weekend. We will see the Harry Potter play, have dinner in Central Park (Tavern on the Green), take the ferry around the Statue of Liberty, see the view of the Chrysler Building and Manhattan skyline from the wife’s office, etc. It would be much less expensive to buy home one of the toys he’s so eager to have, the toys that will be forgotten in a month. His first trip to the Big Apple will stay with him a lifetime.

    I don't buy this really.  Often times things can lead to experiences as well...fast cars, boats, off road vehicles, at home entertainment, video games, a pool or living space, whatever...all those products create experiences for people too.  It all depends on the individual and what they want their "experiences" to be.  Some would argue the products are better because you can repeat the experience instead of just trying to remember it.

    Very cool, I had no idea they did that to the markers. I've only been to Bushnell... it was beautiful. Someday hope to visit Arlington.

    I made Arlington one Memorial Day weekend.  It was awe inspiring to say the least.

  5. Sorry for your loss.  Lost my cat a few years back and never really started feeling better until I got another pet, this time a puppy.  Still miss him a lot, but the new puppy (now dog) really helped me move on.

    The last two seasons our bye week has come week seven both years. So no, it’s not exactly way too early. It could happen.

     

    Yeah, but this time we get a choice.  Teams in international games get a choice as to whether they want the bye after or not.  All we have to do is say "no thanks" and we get one later.

    I think the Bills punted on the draft starting with the Dorian Williams pick in the 3rd.

     

    The concept of value just went out the window.

     

    Honestly after Torrence they should have just traded all the rest of their picks for next years Draft. 
     

    If Kincaid turns out to be a HOFer the class is good, but otherwise I think they got next to nothing.

     

    Browns had a good draft, I still like what the Lions did, Steelers of course had a nice draft. 

     

    Bengals not getting any of the elite TEs, WRs or OTs made me happy. 

    Yep, I'm sure you are a better judge of talent than the professionals that have built a perennial SB contender.  Genius.

    Dave Kaval said on MLB Radio on SIriusXM, "The Las Vegas A's has a nice ring to it". The A's name is styaing. 

    There's some talk that MLB will add 8,000 seats to Las Vegas' new Triple-A ballpark and the A's would play there for 3 years until their new stadium is built. That would be a max attendance of 18,000 which is still more than what they draw now in Oakland.

     

    I agree, it's almost certainly going to stay.  Would be pretty dumb move to change what is basically an original teams nickname (with the 3rd most WS rings in history).  However, if there is one thing we have learned as A's fans, do NOT trust a single word that POS  liar says.

  9. A's fan here.  I have mixed emotions on this.  Been a fan since late 80's.  It's tough to see what the team has become.  The downfall started when Al Davis made them build the monstrosity stands in center field.  The coliseum had a tremendous view before that and was quite nice looking.  Then they build that ugly thing and the whole atmosphere changed.  Fast forward to the current owner and his living out of the movie plot to Major League, except it actually worked.  I hate support this jerk, but it's my team.  Hopefully he'll actually spend some money now, but if they change their nickname from the A's to something new, I'm out and going to the Orioles.
