That's No Moon

How long does it have to sit forgotten in my pantry to have the same impact? Every time I see this word I think of this (1:31)

dude, that's the UB Chemistry Department.

If he hadn't been caught cheating on multiple occasions this would be a slam dunk answer, great coach. However, since that has happened multiple times in multiple areas of the game across spans of many years it requires that the rest of his record be called into question. There are plenty of other, well discussed, situation where New England chicanery has been suspected yet unproven. If the coach had maintained a sterling record it would sound like sour grapes to mention them. I liken this to our older fans griping about Don Shula's participation on the competition committee and his influence on officials. Don Shula has an impeccable record with multiple teams over decades. He was great. You can dislike him but he was great. Belichick on the other hand, has been caught actually doing the things people have suspected him of. There is no accomplishment on his record which you can't call into question as a result. He's not the only person in sports this has happened to and he won't be the last. We said goodbye to one of them today in Alex Rodriguez. The man hit almost 700 home runs and will go into retirement with barely a ripple of attention because he got caught cheating multiple times. I personally believe the Cal Ripken was dirty as hell during his games played streak but he was never caught and nothing will be proven so I will accede to his greatness. Shula may have been a slimeball but Belichick is proven to be one.

This. Though it also likely means that Crapenberg isn't tearing up camp and threatening to start which is not shocking. Dude's feet in the pocket remind me of Lurch.

To be fair when you play as the Patriots you get to see what plays the other team chooses...

So is anyone else wondering if IK got his money yet?

Donald Audette v. Igor Ulanov. Only fight of his whole career and he bloodied Ulanov's nose.

Do you tire of it?

I'm not sold on Mills at all. Henderson is not going to play and Kuoandijio is a stiff. We have 1 tackle on the roster that I have confidence in. Re: Brown, Rex was quoted the other day in the snooze. "You know, I’d like to see him get a little dirtier on the goal line and stuff like that, but he is a real talented kid." That's a barely veiled calling of someone soft. Aaron Williams is a question mark for the rest of his career and it's very early to take a victory lap on him being "back". Re: corners, we had the same 2 good corners last season. My concerns are about not being better than we were. CB in general is a strength but if your nickel back and safeties are weak and your ILB is Brandon Spikes who cant cover a lawn chair there's not much reason to throw outside.

You're right, there are, and typically this is the time of year where I talk myself into believing them I'm having a really hard time getting there and the run of bad luck/stupidity to start the year hasn't helped. Lawson hurt, Other Lawson hurt lifting, Glenn rolled up in a scrimmage, Ragland hurt without contact, Karlos fat, Karlos suspended, Williams DUI. Feels like the other shoe is waiting to drop at any moment.

Offensively I see some reason for optimism but it comes with many assumptions such as health. I am extremely concerned about RT and T depth in general. Defensively I'm struggling to see how they are better other than they have another year in the scheme. Lawson and Ragland out hurts a lot. Spikes wasn't great 2 years ago, as Ragland's replacement, and Ryan said re: Zach Brown that he's essentially too light in the arse for his liking. I get that you play personnel packages but we unfortunately have to go through New England to do anything meaningful and they have made it abundantly clear over many years that they will speed up their game to prevent you from subbing in packages. We're have 2 good corners but #3 is a big question - our current #3 is a very small person. At safety I see nothing but giant question marks.

3 catches, 3 first downs. I'll take it.

During that 27-2 season he had a number of dropped INTS. If it's possible to have a "lucky" 27TD 2 INT year he did it. KC has a million QBs now. Alex Smith Aaron Murray Kevin Hogan Tyler Bray Nick Foles Hard to see them keeping more than 3. Gotta think Hogan makes the team as a 2016 draft pick. I think Bray is gone so that puts it down to Foles or Murray as primary backup. I like Aaron Murray a lot and if he came free I'd be very interested. Wonder if there's a trade for KC to be made here with Dallas.

Gonna be tough to prove anything given it all almost assuredly an entirely cash based business and if the cops didn't gather evidence at the initial raid it's certainly gone now. Of course, he did have employees so it's theoretically possible that he kept records and even paid taxes.

John Elway. Marino was good but Elway scared me to death every time we played them.

TIL I learned that there are 3 people who have never been to Scranton.

TIL that there is at least one person on Earth who would kill to go TO Scranton - even if it's only for a weekend.

It's pretty amazing that they shut that down and all they did was issue a cease and desist and a citation for selling liquor without a license (a misdemeanor). They raided an illegal bar/strip club and didn't find anyone underage inside, they didn't find any evidence of prostitution, they didn't find any illegal narcotics or paraphernalia to that effect, the proprietor did not have any outstanding warrants, nobody was even illegally parked. Either that was the most upstanding speakeasy in the history of speakeasies or the cops chose to ignore some stuff.

I'd like the NFL to do a study on whether or not they should stop #@$%ing around with the rules of football before they completely ruin it.

That cabbies had to pay governments thousands of dollars, in many cases hundreds of thousands of dollars for the badges that allowed them to operate when Uber drivers don't have to do a thing gives the cabbies a bit of a beef. That and Uber's (amongst others) willfill destruction of the current employer employee relationship is enough to make me not use the service, convenient though it may be. For example, in Philadelphia, a new cab medallion costs 350 thousand dollars. For one.

Didn't say I was proud of it, just said it happened.
