LOL, listened to 45 Grave assuming I had never heard it and the synapses started firing. Googled it and I probably remember it from Return of the Living Dead. Thanks for the (vague) memory, good times.

Mister Blue Sky.
Sorry @Gugny @SinceThe70s @ExWNYer I thought he was the most passionate Mets fan I came across in the years I used the site.
He had some pretty funny I’ll call them old school takes on life as well.
I definitely remember he had health concerns going on though. So I kind of fear the worst.
Blue Sky was a big Mets fan and had a relative (nephew?) who had a cup of coffee as a pitcher with the Mets.

GM/HC?
Maybe Shanny/Lynch. Obviously Reid/Veach.
I would go as far as say Howie/Sirianni, even though I really don’t like Sirianni, but I like Howie a lot.
Thanks. I don't wanna hijack the thread, but a few quick thoughts
Each combo you picked have at least been to a SB (I also thought of McVay/Snead who went all-in and won it all).
A more interesting question might have been what's the realistic GM/HC combo you would want going forward - and would it include either McD or Beane? Topic for another thread.
For the record I'm a fence-sitter when it comes to McD. I'm unconvinced we're incapable of winning it all with him - but I can't dismiss the comparisons to Schottenheimer

I have always thought McD was in the top 10ish when it came to current NFL coaches.
Thats not different today.
I have also had questions whether he and Beane were the right guys to get us past Reid and Mahomes.
That’s also not different today.
If you said, the Bills need a coach to win a random game, who are you taking, imo, McD is high on that list.
If you said, the Bills need a GM/HC combo to execute a strategic vision over 4 years culminating in the SB victory, I feel less strongly about their position on that less.
If they win one, great. Rooting for all the success in the world. But I have doubts.
Interesting perspective. Are there any teams currently that you feel strongly have the GM/HC that are capable?

Has anyone mentioned the timeout the Bears took with 43 seconds left and the clock already stopped after an incompletion? I thought that was nearly as inexcusable.

I hear you, but Daniel Jones winning a playoff game has nothing to do with what we’ve seen from peak Jalen Hurts. 2022 Hurts was strikingly similar to Josh Allen.
Not gonna lie, I'm having a hard time keeping up. Thread is about Purdy, I replied to your comment comparing Hurts in 2022 to Goff (now) - and now you bring up Josh? What point are/were you trying to make?

Insane great songwriter
@WhoTom smiles from above.
Fun fact: I'm a huge fan of Quadrophenia. At one point in my life I upgraded my stereo system - either receiver, turntable or speakers - and I chose to put Quadrophenia on the turntable first - pretty sure it was side 2 (I'm One). Good times.

Maybe overall, but Hurts’s ceiling is way above Goff’s. At the end of 2022, he was at a level that Goff is incapable of ever reaching.
I don't disagree with your overall point - but "at the end of 2022" isn't a ringing endorsement to me. At the end of 2022 Daniel Jones had a playoff win under his belt which resulted in a 4 year $160 mill extension. In the NFL, the end of 2022 is a long ways away.

I don't think they had much of a choice. I read Mara's parting statement to Jones and it sounded like he really loved him and didn't want him to leave.
The playoff win against the Vikings Daboll's first year as HC set the Giants back two more years. There's been speculation that Mara wanted Jones resigned and Schoen capitulated to a deal they could get out of. No clue if that's true.
It'll be interesting to see if Schoen/Daboll get a chance to make their own mark with the Giants instead of trying to make things work with the hand that Gettleman dealt them: Jones and Saquon - both highly questionable picks where they were selected.

Boxing - when it became obvious it was fixed or scripted. Tuned in on Saturday and it was worse than what I turned my back on years ago. Not only a total joke, but boring af. At least back in the day it was entertaining.

My Maerklin train set. It started when I was 3 with a simple oval and Lego houses. It was expanded every year in the 2-3 weeks before Christmas, until it reached a double oval with working signals and a working catenary - all assembled by my Mom (RIP, Mom). I then bought yards of rail so that we could run trains into every room of the 1,000 sq ft apartment.
Damn, I was going to say the same. I still have and treasure my Marklin's. They only come out at Christmas and setup can be a struggle since the set is so old, but for the most part the track is in good condition and my two locomotives still run. This is from a few years ago.

I love how people say this. "game winning TD." It wasn't a game winning TD. It was a go ahead TD with 1:12 left in the game and the Bills still had all 3 timeouts left. I also doubt that in 25 years Reid has never seen a player called off sides. What does that matter anyways. Dude screwed up. Didnt look at the ref for confirmation. Blame that.
I chuckled at the "game winning TD" claim.

Can I just give this song Double-Championships? In the grand-swirl of life, this is ***** bad-ass.
The first side of that album (aging myself) is a sometimes forgotten fave of mine. Tattooed Love Boys is as good or better.

Mid 80's - and a favorite in the cult classic vein. I've been meaning to rewatch for awhile now.
