KD in CA

Nasty stuff doesn't necessarily mean = QB talent. And of course when one group of people are overboard on their praise (there's always been a vocal group proclaiming Newton as being great), that naturally creates another group who go overboard in the other direction. I've always thought he was a mediocre passer and a crappy leader, but he can (inconsistently) make plays so if I had one game to win I would still pick him over most other starting QBs.....but I wouldn't put money on him!

Perception is a funny thing. I'm dying to know who is 'rating' Cousins as a top QB. How is he always overrated when apparently everyone agrees he's terrible? Seems to me like he's slightly above average and has never been put in a class higher than that. He's about 12th. Again, he's a little above average so not sure how he's so underrated. No one has ever said Newton is a bottom of the barrel QB.

A friend of mine put this out on facebook, don't know how widespread it is but thought some here might enjoy opining on a variety of subjects.

Can’t be surprised by much from a woman who got her start in politics by sucking Willie Brown’s dick.

Oh, no question. He won’t open himself up to that again.

You should watch the ‘Elway to Marino’ documentary. The Bills picked Hunter first because they would have been happy with either Kelly or Marino at 14. As spectacular as that 1st round was for the HOFers, it was equally spectacular for the failures. The Lions drafted a huge bust IIRC.

After the failed Borking of Justice Kavanaugh using the ‘metoo#’ strategy, you have to wonder what hysteria Chuck & friends will try next time.

Or just turn 45 degrees when they let fly.

Yeah...he needs to do the right thing and step down this year.

Amazing how much attention meaningless nonsense attracts. Who cares if they put a flag up? Cubs do it every time they win a game.

Definitely an acquired taste. Anyone catch the 60 Minutes piece on Islay over the New Years weekend?

Well, what else are we supposed to do? We can't arrest and thereby risk offending the dignity of guys who piss and sh-- on the sidewalk.

I’d like them to squeak out playoff wins against Alabama and Clemson. In the Super Bowl, beat Carolina in Cam Newton’s last game so he can pout for the rest of his life.

I was puzzled until the ‘flights to Cuba’ sign. Maybe she just really needed to get out of this capitalist hell hole.

I conceived my pocket planner theory about FL thirty years ago and it still holds true.

Peyton's still pissed about that 41-0 playoff game.

Yes, eventually I was able to divorce her. Oh, wait.....

I know, we'll hire Hell's Angels to do security! What could possibly go wrong?

I'll say 60-80%, which if you normalize for the fact the universe hates the Bills, comes in right around 7%.

Trump’s right, there’s little reason not to build it. Will it stop all illegals? No. Will it help? Yes. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it expensive relative to what we spend on all kinds of crap? No.

I’ve worked off some of my inventory, but still have these waiting on the top shelf: Glenlivet 12 MacCallan rare cask Bookers small batch bourbon series I need to add a Glenmorangie to the collection, preferably the 18 yo or 12 w/ Port Wood finish. Been way too long since I tasted that.

Please give us an update on the parents reaction when the new soft coach goes 6-10! ?

Yup. If the game is on a Saturday everyone heads to the airport at 6am Sunday morning. This way Saturday is a huge economic day for the host city and they get an extra hotel night. Plus, pro football is supposed to be played on Sunday. I still don’t really understand the issue with going to work the day after watching a football game on TV that ends by 10:30 ET. But that’s not gonna stop us from having a ten page thread about it every year!

I thought that was closer to Meadphone.

Don't care...except for the fact they are both horrible and both on TV every weekend. Can't wait till the Raiders leave and I can get a real AFC game on TV.
