  1. ^ Former karaoke partner of Sig1Hunter. Was opposed to the idea of doing Blondie songs but agreed to do some upon Sig1Hunter's insistence.
  2. Abandon all of these modern razors now! Buy an old fashioned safety razor that accepts traditional double edged blades, and use high quality shave soaps that you lather up by hand with a brush. You will have superior performance and you can buy 100 super high quality blades for like 8 bucks. I started doing this a while ago and I am telling you! Once you transition to the proper way to shave, you will never go back! Go to youtube and search "wet shaving" or "safety razor" and you will find zillions of videos showing you how to shave, reviews of various products, favorite "top 10" lists regarding all products associated with shaving (soaps, creams, brushes, blades, shavers) and and on. I buy all the stuff online from various specialty web stores. The Merkur 34c from Germany; an excellent razor for the beginner, as it is very gentle on the face and high quality. Costs like $30 or $35 online, will last for 1,000 years.
  3. Start a proper minor league football league, with each team controlled by an NFL team. Let all these QBs play in the minors and then we'll see who can do it and who can't, over a period of years of development if necessary. Put the minor league teams in football friendly towns not big enough for an NFL team.
  4. I just bumped into Dunkirk Don. His sources are saying that Mason Rudolph doesn't just have tiny hands. Use your imagination.
  5. The clone can't be DC TOM. The Chinese scientists did something with their process so this won't work for some reason. They said they put this into their process as a fail-safe mechanism so that DC Tom, specifically, could never be cloned. I guess it was done "for the good of all humanity." Who says these scientists don't have a conscience?
  6. The sustained infatuation and fascination with New England at this website is strong evidence of their greatness, even if assisted by officiating help or flat out cheating. They are hated b/c they are successful and win consistently. After a while, everyone hates that. John Wooden did the same thing in college basketball from the mid '60s to the mid '70s, winning the NCAA tournament in 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1975! People hated him and/or UCLA in those days too.
  7. No. Your understanding of analytics, how it works, and its benefit to a football team is rather poor. Analytics does things like show you, with statistical analysis, that you have a much better chance of winning a game with 2 minutes left if you go for it on 4th and 1 from your opponent's 47 yard line, as opposed to punting and trying to get the ball back again. It's mostly based on analysis of countless football games and scenarios over a large period of time and studying what works and what doesn't work based on probability. You then go with the highest possible probability of success. Most NFL teams are still clueless about this stuff, including the Bills. McDummy showed us all that multiple times this year. This is because most NFL coaches are glorified gym teachers and would never be confused for brain surgeons, hedge fund managers, or physics professors.
  8. Perhaps SaviorPeterman's high level business meeting was with Dunkirk Don, regarding the purchase of real estate somewhere east of the city of Buffalo next to the new stadium site. It makes sense. Dunkirk Don still has his contact and the e-security leak...he was banned but now he is passing his coveted information forward to SaviorPeterman. By the way, in this context, "High Level Business Meeting" means coffee with Dunkirk Don at Dunkin Donuts in Dunkirk.

  10. Aside from the fact that he has no trade value around the league.
  11. This entire album is freaking fantastic. I've listend to it beginning to end too many times to count.
  12. High quality real estate which has location, location, location is virtually recession proof in any localized market. When the housing bubble burst in what, 2009 (?), properties in the desirable parts of DC (where I lived at the time) actually kept going up. People are going to want to live in and around the nice parts of San Francisco forever, unless they really do get the big one and California breaks off and floats off into the Pacific Ocean. Until that happens, real property in good areas in the Bay Area is a rock solid investment. DC maybe even moreso.
  13. I think your pricing is a bit off there, but DC housing is quickly becoming some of the most expensive in the country. I just left that housing market a few years ago so I'm still pretty familiar with it.
  14. Bringing this up forever, which some fans are going to do, is not really relevant to Peterman's potential or where he stands in his career. There are plenty of other things to criticize him about, but constantly referencing his first half of football, ever, is stupid. I am thinking of Troy Aikman, for example, looking horrible for the first few years of his career. The Cowboys won very little and Aikman got killed. No one talks about what happened in the 3rd game (or first half!) of his career..they tend to focus more on the 3 Superbowl rings and his admission to the HOF.
  15. In his last performance as a Bill, Peterman threw a pass to the sideline on a quit out route...and now I can't remember if it was intercepted or bounced off the CB's hands...point being the throw was late and slow and it was more than obvious Peterman does NOT have the arm strength to be an NFL QB. None of your information passes the smell test; if we end up with Darnold I won't complain.
  16. I agree that Costas is too bright to be fulfilled by sports broadcasting alone. He is no doubt a huge sports fan, but the guy could have done a lot more and I often wonder why he didn't want to go the news broadcasting route, for example. He could have been another Dan Rather/Tom Brokaw/Peter Jennings type.
  17. I can see why NBC would want to silence Costas. He represents everything the corporate ownership of this country despises. He is intelligent, articulate, and a critical thinker. He probably scares the hell out of everyone involved. I would love to see Costas continue in his career in a non-traditional role in which he doesn't work for a corporate interest. He's the smartest thing that ever touched sports broadcasting in America.
  18. Finally had some time to spend some time with that realtor list you put together; thanks for that! That is pretty gruesome stuff; DC pricing for sure! Makes you wonder what a great property in the sweet spot of "The City" goes for nowadays. $3 million? May have to move further out or a town or 2 away as long as a commute to Pleasanton would still be easy. How far do you have to go to turn that $725,000 townhouse into a fee simple dwelling? Don't say "Nevada". LOL https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1221-York-St_San-Francisco_CA_94110_M23137-35758 Here is a nice house in the Mission District; $2.898 million
  19. For those that liked the Comfortably Numb performance above, listen to "On an Island" from the same concert. Second guitar solo starts at 5:04; this one is great too and so much better than the studio version.
  20. With the right QB, it shouldn't matter too much who the WRs are. Ask Tom Brady; he's gone through a whole bunch of them.
  21. This performance of Sunshine of Your Love from the Cream concert at Royal Albert Hall, 1968, is beyond mind blowing. A couple different solos are great and made even better by Jack Bruce's wandering base lines and Ginger Baker flipping out on the drums. So much more alive and up-tempo compared to the way they did it in 2006 (?) at their reunion concert at the same venue. But they were also a hell of a lot younger and sharper too. I freaking love this version:
