As Hunter S Thompson said of Nixon after his death: "He was so crooked that they had to screw him into the ground" Here's a great book on the splinter groups of that period. Fantastic read. https://books.google.com/books/about/Days_of_Rage.html?id=QPUVBAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button

Totally agree. I feel that everyone just assumes that the NFL is teflon and September is so far away. Reality may tell a different story. I'd be really surprised if the season starts on time. I just don't see it.

Salami and provolone. Classic.

Can't that attention ***** just go away?

I enjoyed this but it's really just an overview. Nothing too new. No mention of BB"s defensive scheme which is a major oversight.

Oh God yes. Great Scarlet/Fire. It was so hot. We parked early. Some Heads walked by dripping wet. I asked them what was going on and they said there was a community pool a block or so away. Really? It was true. I can't remember but maybe it was a 1.00 to get in. Heads took over the pool and the party was on lol. We swam for hours and then came back to the lot to continue the party, refreshed and ready to go. Fantastic Loser and Blow Away that night as well. Last event ever at JFK. They sent it off in style.

7/4/89 at Rich. They always played well the hometown. Great scene too!

Give this a try and get back to us.

That 63 yarder was one hell of a kick. He kicked the hide off that ball. RIP Tom.

It'll be a crash of metal if they put Manning in the booth. It's one thing to be marketable and likeable in a commercial when you have 174 takes to get it right. In a live setting with no net? Him? Hayseed? Good luck.

It was live on CTV at 5 and tape delayed on ABC at 8.

Sad. Jerry had a nice show. Plenty of topics and a different perspective. Signal strength hurt. Like him or hate him, an alternative to WGR is needled.

Placey's. Closed in 2001. Great dive bar. Cheap drinks and an atmosphere that encouraged rowdiness. Fun times.

Easy way out. Friends are hosting. Pizza and wings with 20 plain to dress in my garlic hot sauce. Heinekens and vodka. Niners 34-24. We'll try to pull in Greg Papa and the SF broadcast online and synch up the DVR. Should be a great night.

No offense but she's brutal. Listening to her trying to get in and out of a segment is painful. Maybe she'll improve.

This season should be a blast. I had tempered expectations when this show started but it really has become great on its own regardless of the BB affiliation. I hope we have more than on scene with "Gene" this season. Let's see what the writers come up with. Can't wait.

I love SF in this game by 10. Patty will make his plays as the game goes on but if KC stars slow, again, they're cooked. This Niners team is no joke and Jimmy G will make the throws when he has to. SF D line is great getting pressure with 4. Plus, you can always count on Andy Reid to make some baffling decision worth 3 points. They'll never be able to handle the SF ground game. Shanahan is one of the best play callers in the game.

This was the biggest game Allen ever played in by far, so I have faith he'll learn and grow for it. No excuse for the D to forget the fundamentals but that is always correctable. My real concern going forward is McDermott. His in game management and understanding of the situation is horrible and has been since he got here. I don't know how you fix that.

I see and respect your point. I think they choked. It's over now. Hopefully they all learn from it.

So blowing a 16- 0 lead with 20 minutes to play and having Allen, the D , and McDermott all taking turns in opening the window is not a collapse? I'll be nice and say we see it differently and leave it at that.

Um, are you serious? The Bills are the better team. It was a systematic collapse by both sides of the ball. Plus, if you think McDermott's game management and his staff isn't complicit in blowing this game, I guess we'll just have to disagree.

I usually love your posts but you letting the entire team and McDermott off big time. Coaching excellence? In that one situation they were prepared properly. Great. That's his job. How about 4th and 27? How about punting on 4th and 4 from the 38? How about his wonderful penchant for having no feel for the correct time to call a TO. The list goes on . No mention of the absolute loss of technique on fundamentals when it comes to tackling. Yes. Watson is exceptional, but let's not let Milano off the hook for not making a play he should have made. I could go on and on. The bottom line is Allen, the D, and the coaching staff all reacted negatively to the increasing pressure in the last 20 minutes of regulation and in OT. Blowing a 16-0 lead in the process. That's the definition of choking.

Amen to this. Allen was rattled in the second half but he still got the team to OT then reverted back to his bad habits at the worst possible time. The Ford penalty was a killer. My real is issue the D. Wtf? When it matters most nobody could tackle properly. Not just Milano. Simple fundamentals lost this game.

We were so hungover. I sat next to a guy from England who was in town for work. Great day. We nursed beers to ease the pain. Epic tailgate after.

Requested off a few weeks ago for a "wedding." Foresight is a wonderful thing.
