The obvious reason is because I wore my Squirrel Winters t-shirt - which I didn't wear for the Rams game.
The less obvious reason is because I was at the supermarket earlier in the day wearing a Bills hoodie. Grabbed something off the shelf, turned around and there was a guy walking past with a Lions sweatshirt . I can't remember ever seeing someone in Lions gear in my area. I said something like 'Oh no, not the Lions!". He chuckled and said good luck, I told him to enjoy the game and we went our separate ways. At the time I had no idea whether it was a good or bad omen. An hour or so later I was a a different saw a guy in a Bills hoodie (not a common occurrence in my area and gave him the obligatory Go Bills and I was feeling better.

My friend took this picture last night. Is there a Marvel movie coming out soon?

Love the Rock/Reggae cross-overs.

@Turf Toejam and @Comebackkid laughing at/mocking a good point by @ganesh is something that should be called out, I believe. Campbell, a community college guy who elevated himself into a fourth round pick in 2016 and has been a legit excellent player (literally, first-team all pro in 2021), has had a very good career, so something is going on. There’s likely something deeper here and mocking a longtime good poster for raising this possibility strikes me as the platonic ideal of weak argumentation. Be better, folks. Engage with actual evidence-based arguments.
Agreed. The player turned his back on the team with (as far as I know) zero forewarning. His coaches and teammates responded in kind - no surprise (or complaint from me) there. I expect the team will cut ties and I have no problem with that. Feels like the players association should step in next to address the situation. Big difference between a disgruntled employee and potentially far more serious issues.
BTW, I thought it was weak that a poster worried how it might impact Bills/Lions.

Just saw this quote from him and it home. An unfortunate reminder of our fragility.
"I didn't think I would ever be in a position like this, as healthy as I thought I was," Moss said.

For me it was Tremaine Edmunds and Tre'Davious White.
It's the Tre in common. Both first rounders, selected in consecutive years.
For me it was Khalil Shakir and Kaiir Elam. Drafted the same year, first namse start with K. My son would mention one of them and I'd have to ask if he was talking about the WR or the DB.

Eight years? Not sure how much this moves the needle, they needed a lefty though.

I'm a Mets fan. When the Soto deal got announced I was sleeping. The next morning I saw the family texts (wife and2 college sons) Wifey's comment was "we need pitchers". I don't disagree, good times!
Yanks got Cohen'd on Soto but have two high-end starters now. Not sure if the Mets have one high-end starter. Roster re-construction continues for both teams.

All true except that Pete & Iglesias are UFAs. I'd love to have Iglesias back but he may get more money elsewhere. I think when all is said and done, 'The Polar Bear' will be back with the Mets. I don't think he and Boras get as much as they had hoped. I may be wrong...just my two cents. BTW, I like the Clay Holmes signing but the Jose Siri signing as the CF replacement for Bader doesn't float my boat. He's a plus defender but has a weak stick. If Pete is not back, we need another thumper in the lineup to protect Soto.
The Mets have to decide whether they want Pete or Iglesias back and at what price. Both are more than just UFA's (hired guns) to the Mets imo. Uncle Steve may decide that he won't be outbid on Pete. Maybe not.
Everything I read is focused on free agents, but the Mets have some legit prospects and I wonder whether Nimmo would be considered a trade chip. There's been some buzz around the White Sox trading Crochet.
BTW, tonight I watched the replay of the clincher against the Braves. I had too much going on that day and didn't see a pitch of that game.My biggest take away is how happy I am with the manager. Tremendous job this season and in that game. I'm not sure if there was a single pitcher out of the bullpen that I trusted consistently this year. The mound visit to Diaz in the 9th was outstanding.

@SinceThe70s @Gugny @Another Fan
Wow! Juan Soto is a Met, boys. 15 years for $765 million. Insane. LFGM!!!
https://nypost.com/2024/12/08/sports/juan-soto-signing-with-mets-on-15-year-765-million-contract/
This is the day we all expected when Cohen bought the Mets.
I'm interested to see how they construct the rest of the roster. On the aging side there are decisions to be made with Pete, Nimmo, McNeil, Marte and Iglesias. On the younger end of the spectrum it's Vientos, Acuna, Mauricio, Baty and Jett Willliams.

I looked through that old thread..... was Kevin Kobell he mentioned. Was cousins with him I believe.
Yeah.. going through that old thread again even in Spring Training games he had some strong opinions on the team.
@row_33 was a big-time and knowledgeable baseball fan too. On the football side I'll always credit him for suggesting that instant replay should only be done with real-time replays. It'll never happen - the general public seems to demand the Zapruder-ish slo-mo replays that all too often don't result in a consensus call anyway.

Just came across this. A high school choir's 40 year tradition. Outstanding.

I had to go through the late 70's and early 80's as a kid. KISS and Def Leopard were so cool. And then so was Poison, Ratt, and Motley Crue.
boy what a ***** Golden Age that was....
haha - I listened to all of those bands. With the exception of KISS I was in from the first album/EP. I could still listen to the early Def and Motley albums. I think I saw Ratt twice and they hold my distinction of being the worst live band I ever saw.

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

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?
