This pretty much proves that Josh has a concussion.

Re: McKittrick - he's caught 67% of his targets, averaging 9.1 yards/reception, has 3 TDs and zero fumbles. Re: Knox - he's caught 74% of his targets, averaging 9.1 yards/reception, has 2 TDs and zero fumbles. Don't confuse not living up to their expectations with not being used/targeted enough.

6-2 Atop the AFC It must hurt to be you.

You seem so hopeless.

There is a difference between being a dick and not being a team player. This is not rocket surgery.

My Google didn't search for things that have absolutely nothing to do with OBJ being a selfish player. I didn't say that he isn't a dick. My guess is that many NFL players are *****. But there's nothing to indicate that he's selfish/puts himself before the team.

One. Just one example. That's all I'm asking for. Just one.

When has he ever done this? He threw a few tantrums on the sideline during his stint with the Giants. Big effin' deal. He's never been a selfish player and his teammates have, by all accounts, loved him.

The Bills had an owner and GMs like this for decades and were in the same boat.

The only other team's forum I've visited was the Chiefs'. I was perma-banned the same day I registered. They are horrible, horrible people.

Just four years ago, the Bills went into Minnesota as 17 point dogs and kicked the crap out of the Vikings ... https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/24774007/buffalo-bills-shock-unbeaten-minnesota-vikings-pull-largest-nfl-upset-23-years The Bills, who were winless entering Sunday's game in Minnesota, closed as consensus 17-point underdogs to the previously unbeaten Vikings. They are the 15th underdog of 17 or more points to win a game in the Super Bowl era and the largest underdog to pull off an upset since the Washington Redskins knocked off the Dallas Cowboys 24-17 as 17.5-point underdogs on Dec. 3, 1995.

One of the posts in the "one song" thread specifically fueled me to start this thread. It was a U2 song. I became a U2 fan in 1983 when I got the "War," album as a gift from my grandmother. She went into Record Town and told the person working that she had no idea what kids were listening to and asked for his guidance. Well, luckily for me, he had great taste. I'd never heard, nor heard OF U2 before getting that album. I immediately fell in love with it and quickly went on to buy their earlier albums, which I also loved. Unforgettable Fire came out a year later and I consider that to be the last great U2 album. It was a significant change in direction from their previous albums, but it didn't bother me at all. I think some of the best songs they ever recorded were on this album. Some powerful, moving songs. I think Joshua Tree and Rattle & Hum were good albums; not great. Achtung Baby was, to me, very "meh." There were songs that I liked (One, Mysterious Ways), but they just weren't "U2 songs," to me. Everything after that has been 100%, pure crap, in my opinion.

There is absolutely zero chance of that happening.

Next up: Tommy John surgery.

Great submission! I've never listened to their very early stuff, so I can't speak to it. We had Bare Trees when I was a child and the only song I remember from that is Sentimental Lady. As far as the Nicks/Buckingham era, I think the first two albums (Fleetwood Mac and Rumours) were fantastic. Then, they began a steady decline and by the mid-to-late 80s, they were just not good.

As a matter of fact ... Super Bowl QB Colin Kaepernick, and holder of the all-time NFL record for most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback, took a knee during the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” in 2016 to bring attention to systemic oppressions — specifically police terrorism — against Black and Brown people. For his stance, he has been denied employment by the league to this day. Since 2016, he has founded and helped to fund three organizations—Know Your Rights Camp, Ra Vision Media, and Kaepernick Publishing—that together advance the liberation of Black and Brown people through storytelling, systems change, and political education. Kaepernick sits on Medium's Board and is the winner of numerous prestigious honors including Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope honor, GQ magazine’s “Citizen of the Year,” the NFL’s Len Eshmont Award, the Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, the ACLU’s Eason Monroe Courageous Advocate Award, and the Puffin/Nation Institute’s Prize for Creative Citizenship. In 2019, Kaepernick helped Nike win an Emmy for its “Dream Crazy'' commercial. In 2021, he released Colin in Black & White, a 6-episode limited series on Netflix exploring his high school years. The show won two NAACP Image Awards. In 2022, he became a New York Times bestselling author for his acclaimed children's picture book, I Color Myself Different. https://kaepernick7.com/pages/mission

McDermott’s mom could be in hospice and he’d say she was day to day.

Guy can never finish a sentence when he talks. This should be fun to watch unfold.

I was waiting for someone to bring up the Beatles! I actually think that Rubber Soul was the beginning of what was the best to come from them. As a child, I learned about the Beatles through sharing a room with my older brother. The only Beatles albums he had were the red and blue compilation albums. I was probably 8 or 9 when I started listening to them (around 1979). I totally gravitated toward the Rubber Soul/Revolver tunes on the red album and LOVED everything on the blue album. The earlier stuff was great in its own way, but I am with you that the later recordings take the cake and those represent a solid 95% of what I listen to when I listen to the Beatles.

This is why I love that the Police (one of my favorite bands) hung it up after their 5th studio album (in five-year career). Synchronicity was definitely heavier on the radio-friendly stuff than the previous four albums; but it still had some kick-ass old-school Police tunes and was, overall, a great album. They stopped at the perfect time. I'll also add that, while the circumstances surrounding Led Zeppelin (another favorite) hanging it up were very sad, I am REALLY glad they didn't (couldn't) make any more studio albums after In Through the Out Door. Easily my least favorite Zep album primarily due to JPJs' heavy synthesizer usage. I shudder when I think about what future albums would have sounded like.

I absolutely think this is a possibility.

Piggy-backing onto the other "one song," thread (which is fantastic). Looking at some of the responses in that thread got me thinking about how many artists/bands stuck around a long time (perhaps too long, which is one of the points of this thread) and changed over time. I think it would be fun to get others' opinions about bands that they like, but only certain eras of said bands. First one the pops into my head is Pink Floyd. I enjoy the albums with Syd Barrett. I LOVE the albums post-Barrett, but only those which include both Waters and Gilmour. I (again ... this is purely opinion) think anything post-Waters is garbage. One more and I'll bow out for a while so others can chime in. Rush. Rush is one of those band who, to me, stuck around too long (as far as continuing to make new studio albums is concerned). I am a huge early Rush fan. After "Signals," (1982), they lost me. I think they went on to record another ten studio albums over 20+ years and I honestly thought they were all crap. But again ... that's just me! Who you got?!?!

Very cool topic/thread. I'm sure I'm not the only one fighting the urge to say, "but you're wrong!!!" to some people. But that's the beauty of music. It sounds and means something different to each individual and there is no right or wrong. Unless someone posts a Yoko Ono song ... then you're painfully wrong.

HFBD, Promo!!!
