    Chiefs = Paper Tigers

    I get it that the Chiefs are the favorites in the AFC, and probably should be. But they also went into the Super Bowl favored to win. I said before the game that they would lose, and lose by double figures. 

     

    Why? If you look at their play last season, especially in the second half of the season, they barely squeaked out eight of their wins. They lost to the Raiders and Chargers, and in other games:

     

    beat the Chargers by 3 in OT

    beat the Panthers by 2

    beat the Raiders by 4

    beat the Bucks by 3

    beat the Broncos by 6

    beat the Dolphins by 6

    beat the Saints by 3

    beat the Falcons by 3

     

    A good team will win many close games, but when a team wins that many games by less than a touchdown you can expect a regression to the mean. Despite  Mahomes and Kelce and Hill, and the fact they beat the Bills twice last year, I don't see any reason the Bills should be quaking in their boots about playing them. 

    I predict the Chiefs will have a fall off this season and would not be at all surprised if they fail to make the playoffs. They lived on the edge last season and when you do that, you are in danger of falling off. 

     

    And yet I’d guess that if the Bills won games by those margins, you’d be squarely in the “a win is a win” camp

    Anything you look back on fondly that hasn’t aged well?

    Vinyl records, compact discs, and DVD’s.

     

    FM radio too.

    While this is true, the sonic quality of a well recorded CD played back on a quality system easily bests any of the compressed file formats of today… and vinyl is actually still coveted by many music lovers. 

    Oh, and more currently,  Bobby Harts NFL career has not aged well either

    High School Reunions

    in Off the Wall

    Posted · Edited by AlCowlingsTaxiService

    Never attended one, largely due to the fact that I bounced around to five different high schools …. Never put down enough roots in one place to enjoy myself in that situation, I suppose  …. I did attend one with someone I was dating, and a couple guys I was talking with said she was one of the school hotties … she still was, so that didn’t suck 🤪

    Last tour ever concerts?

    Bob Seger’s farewell tour was definitely not a disappointment as far as those tours go - he could definitely still put on a quality show.  Kenny Rogers, while his vocals were limited and he had do do the show seated, was a great show more so for the story telling aspect of his illustrious career.  Motley Crue, OTOH, can just go away.
