He probably learned that watching Knox working so hard at it!

One reason it’s not getting enough attention is that at least 50% of all coverage is apparently required to be about the stinkin’ Cowboys, win or lose. Then you have to split the remaining focus on all the other teams, so there’s only so much exposure to go around. Make me commissioner and I will disband the Cowboys, collect my $40 million salary and retire after one year. I’ve heard a lot of talk about Allen and that game, but it was such an incredible feat I’m not sure how they can say enough. I’ll just be happy for the experience and hope we are all still smiling next week.

I’d suggest we have the place swept for microphones, just in case…….

ESPECIALLY in Miami!!!

You left out 3) the voodoo doll that results in certain injury to the starter.

I was at Buffalo Wild Wings watching the NCAA tournament with my son, his friend and his friend’s dad. Three guy at the table next to us were HAMMERED and getting obnoxious. They were annoying, and I asked them how they were getting home. Nobody at that table belonged behind a wheel. He said they had it covered, went on a little rant then asked “you got a problem with that?” I said no, no problem. Then I said “well, actually, were here with kids, can you clean up the language?” They were VERY loud with their F*&^ this and F*&^ that. He started getting up to come at me when the other dad stood up. Pat is 6’6” and at least 270 lbs. Former military, he’s not just big, he’s the REAL DEAL. Pat asked “do we have a problem?” The guy sat, and the language immediately improved. 😂

When the kids were young we went with a Rotary Club, of all things, to a Buc’s/Packers game. I invited a friend from the bank along with his fiancé. Sitting right behind our group was a drunk youNG Packers fan. He was wearing nothing above the waist other than a purple bra on his head. (I have no idea 🤷‍♂️.) This Packer fans starts talking to my wife. My friend thinks he’s hitting on her. She says he’s a harmless kid, leave him alone. After much beer, things escalate. At the end of the game my “friend” pins this kid to the bench by his throat and slides him about 5 feet. His friends react and it turns into one of those scenes where people start cascading into the rows in front of them. All all-out brawl. I managed to get the wife and kids to the aisle and one of the Rotary group claims to be a cop loudly and repeatedly while breaking things up. (He WAS a retired cop.) I assume security came but we we running for the bus! He catches up to me and says he hoped I would defend his wife. I said “no, I would NOT be an idiot. It was just words, until YOU escalated it.” If anything I would have gone for security. A few years later I run into his then ex-wife and learn he was fired from the bank for punching a co-worker in the face at the bank Christmas party. He also had domestic abuse charges against the girl half his age who was living with him at the time. Some people just can’t drink alcohol without losing their minds on occasion. USE YOUR WORDS! .

We had a friend who was a pediatric neuro-radiologist who helped us when our son was injured in high school sports. He explained that “on a scale of 1-10, if a bad bone bruise is a 5, a break is 5.5. They are almost the same thing.” It’s not just a little leg boo-boo. This just went to show how dependent they are on an individual player. I hope we don’t find out how dependent we are upon our QB. .

The sign of a good franchise is having players and staff that other teams want. The sign of a GREAT franchise is having guys right behind them, or on a list, who barely miss a beat. Part of their job is having guys to fill in. I’ll bet they hit more than miss on the replacements. I’m a believer. Not a blind believer, but a believer. .

Desperate people do desperate things. Belichick spending that kind of free agent money is out of character, and if he was 10 years younger he might have played it differently.

@Gugny I have two recommendations: A) Move south B) If you aren’t able to make “A” happen, keep your damn fingers away from places they shouldn’t be. I had a buddy in college from Cleveland, and he did NOT have the full compliment of digits due to a snow blower. Saw that more with construction workers, but the snowblower does a fine job of it too. I’m sure you are well aware, but what a nasty event! Early adulthood I had a friend who lost a finger and a half early in life working construction. He became a shop teacher and drove himself to the hospital after losing a couple more at school on the weekend. “Professional” carpenters I worked with during summer breaks were both missing some digits. It almost seems “normal” to them!

I thought it was awesome with Luck, largely because he is so bright and clever. I found this to be a lame rip-off. (Honestly, no offense meant!) Get your own idea, and make that smart and interesting. .

I guess I should consider myself lucky, as I really don’t notice the announcers much. It’s almost like being colorblind, it’s just not there for me. There is one exception, and he’s a Booger. I’ve never liked him, but he spent WAY too much time explaining why the bogus Cody Ford (I believe) crack back block in the playoffs was indeed a penalty. Yep, the same one the league later apologized for. That is one ignorant and annoying moron! I guess I should consider myself lucky, as I really don’t notice the announcers much.

EDIT: I should probably correct the accidental double post, but it is so heart felt I’ll just leave that out there. .

We should do this $17 at a time to inspire the Bills Mafia! (Not a fan of that term, but whatever…..anything to inspire!)

I have a lot of respect for the Packers, and even the wounded Buc’s, so I’ll go so far as to say it feels like the AFC Championship game to me. Obviously I could be very wrong, but it feels like it’s either the Bills or Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I have to throw in apologies to the Titans and Bengals to be fair (and more importantly put a kibosh on any whacky jinx!). EDIT: I may have just guaranteed a Bengals/Rams Super Bowl! What would the odds of THAT been before the season??? .

We known a bunch of people with an electric car, but the other car is always gas. Sounds like a good plan to me. We drive cars forever, and depending upon the situation next time around I’d certainly look into it. In high school I had a third alternative. A Chevy Chevette was my first car. I think there was a gerbil on a treadmill powering that. Hills were a problem only of you had to go UP. .

The favorite QB’s to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl are Brady and Rodgers. Apparently it’s not an insurmountable barrier. As long as we have a healthy Josh Allen, we will be in the picture. .

Oh, just give him time…….

Like the Buc’s last year, it’s all about peaking at the right time. I’m cautiously optimistic.

AMEN! We don’t need any bad juju going around. One game at a time. Regardless of who is playing, I’m thinking we will throw a big bash for Championship weekend. We recently moved into a house that needs to throw some parties. It’s made for that, and one of the reasons we bought it. I had a friend/client decades ago who did a HUGE party on AFC/NFC Championship day rather than the typical Super Bowl day. MUCH better! Two games and less hype. Great chance of at least one good game. He threw a “grown up party” with much better food and drink than we were used to at the time: crab legs, jumbo shrimp cocktail, oysters Rockefeller and other catering quality level stuff. It was the event of the year back then. I’d like to take a step up from grilled wings and chili and do this right. There WILL be beef on weck, regardless of who is playing. That I know for sure. .

I just set it up to record Wednesday on DTV. We just moved and I may or may not have recorded it on Apple TV. I’m still trying to figure this crap out, but I know what most of the light switches do. Progress.

He probably didn’t lead in snaps because he’s the best of the best, and they want to be sure he’s available for the Chiefs game. We had a big enough lead he could spend more time on the sideline waiting for the bigger challenge next weekend. I will have nothing but respect for the Chief’s and what they have accomplished. I’ll take NOTHING for granted, and having Diggs available could be a key factor.

You don’t think he might be helpful? I’d kinda like to see him out there. The Chiefs are kinda good. You might have noticed they’ve been going to Super Bowls lately. .

I liked him there, too. I can’t be too hard on him because we have ZERO idea what was going on behind closed doors. What was on Mayock, and what was on the crazy egomaniac Gruden? I had never heard the idea that Gruden got the first two rounds, then Mayock took over, but if that’s true it wouldn’t shock me.

If only you could fire the owners, some franchises would stand a chance again.
