  1. ESPN listing sexy Rexy as a possible candidate to replace him. Andy Reid can't be that dumb, can he?
  2. Meanwhile, the Patriots have quietly started beating people with their power running game and passes to halfbacks.
  3. Yeah, I know there are laws against it. But they need reforming. In the example you post, there are no punitive consequences, only actual damages. Attorney's should be fined, put on probation or even disbarred if they continuously file these suits. Typically, if there is a law in the state, it is very difficult to find an attorney has broken them and the consequences are light.
  4. Patriots 6 penalties for 61 yards Chiefs 4 penalties for 28 yards. Nice try though. Deflated balls are easier to secure.
  5. This country really needs to reform the laws regarding filing of frivolous lawsuits. Until the attorney's are punished for it (financially most likely), crap like this will continue to happen.
  6. We have the exact same taste. I'd add that I think Chappelle is hilarious too. And I loved that Rod Man from last comic standing, kind of faded out though. I always felt that Sam Kinison was overrated. Its funny for a few minutes, but gets old really quick to me.
  7. Interesting. Every once in a while ESPN still does some actual journalistic reporting, this is one of those occasions. I think there has to be some inherent risk here on the parts of the athletes. The level of their extreme compensation in comparison to the rest of the normal population should inherently cover some of those risk IMO.
  8. They had all game for it to be fair. It's called winning it in regulation. Don't like OT rules, then win it in regulation.
  9. Wes was our HS QB. Had a pretty good run in '96.
  10. What am I missing here. He was terrible in Buffalo, he was terrible in Jacksonville. Why does this guy keep getting hired?
  11. Thought Preston Brown was a below average player up until this moment. After this, I hated him.
  12. No reason to cut McCoy. No reason to keep Clay. Clay has actually LOST us games. He hurts the team more than helps it.
  13. Elmwood Collision in Kenmore is my spot. 3 man shop where 2 are the owners. Good guys. Little out of the way, but I'd take that over 10+ location Corruba Collision where you get some low wage mechanic doing the work any day of the week.
  14. If season 2 was its own show with its own name then people would have liked it just fine. It's seen in a negative light only because of the unrealistic expectations people had after season 1. It really wasn't bad at all in retrospect.
  15. I don't know man, I could hardly watch when the Refs were scabs, much less the players.
  16. Well, since Blind Melon was brought up. Huge fan, I think they are one of the most underrated bands ever. That first album is exquisite on so many levels. This tune on it (which never really stood out to me for 20 years) has really spoken to me lately for some reason.
  17. Usually compilations like this are terrible. But this one is very well done, with a great variety, great editing, and a very easy way to waste 30 mins on a weekend morning.
  18. No love for Marcus Easley?
  19. No F'n way. There are two ways to win in this league as I see it. 1. Have one of the best QBs around and pay them what they deserve. Brady, Rogers, Brees, that level of guy. 2. Hit on a young QB in their rookie deal that is "good enough" and spend on talent around them while they are still cheap. If he really shines you sign him to money referred to in point #1 and ride him for 10 more years. 2b. Get a good, cheap back-up/journeyman type that could also potentially thrive surrounded by the right talent, or just have a magical season like the Vikings last year (or Foles). There is no "overpay for mediocre at best QBs at the expense of the rest of the roster's talent and then go win a Super Bowl."
  20. Mahomes had a fantastic year, no doubt. The question is whether he will be able to maintain it when teams have a whole year of tape on him and their offense and then further down the road when he's making $30+M / year against the cap and they cannot surround him such a high level of talent that they have now. Time will tell.
  21. Was just listed officially at 5'11" for the mlb draft. Madrigal who is 5'7" and was drafted #4 overall is noticeably much, much smaller. I remember hearing the exact same type of things about Mayfield last year too...well, not 5'6, but you get the point.
  22. Cool video. I have a feeling these guys might become famous.
  23. This is not true at all. With the success of Mayfield this year and Murray's performance, I believe he will be #1 overall IF he makes it clear that he is football focused only and not trying to play baseball as well. He is better than any other QB in this draft and there will be a team willing to trade up for him. Again, only IF he says he is playing football only.
  24. Pappy's are 15 years and older. Their "low end" is Old Rip Van Winkle, it's 10 years and ONLY $500 if you can find it. It will be interesting to see how being bought by Buffalo Trace will impact the supply. Part of the reason the price is so high is because it is rare, if Buffalo Trace significantly increases supply it could go down considerably. They started making it 2002 so what they have made is already aged and bottled but no real impact yet but it still hasn't hit the real high end stuff yet.
