Our boy JK played the position with the mentality of a linebacker himself, no doubt--he dished it out almost as much as he got it, remember the infamous Falcons game where he broke the ankle of the DB who picked him off? The Steelers D's of the 90's were by and large just as vicious as their 70's predecessors--and yes, despite growing up in Western PA, I couldn't stand them (ironically JK was a huge Steelers fan growing up of course). What they got away with in terms of mauling opposing QB's under Noll and Cowher would leave the refs of today red-faced with the amount of game misconduct penalties they'd have to shout out on the PA system...

What a game to make your first! Mine by contrast was the Bills getting shut out at 3 Rivers on an icy cold 1993 Monday night 0-23 . Yup, spot on bro. See above. 1993 version in Pittsburgh on Monday Night.

That was the game the Bills decided to run the no huddle K Gun for good as their main offense for an entire game—that first half was a straight up clinic in dismantling a defense, to the extent that their linemen were memorably begging Kelly to slow it down lol. The Bills did let up on the gas after halftime tho. Word—that’s how I feel about ‘91; lifetime highlight for me was the Steeler game that year where the Bills ran out of plays to run because the offense was on such a roll putting up 52 points, Kelly throwing 6 TD’s...4 to Beebe, ‘Steeler Killer’

I think Luck is one of the great unrealized potential for QB’s this league has ever seen—hijacked by injuries and a dousing of his inner fire that just couldn’t be overcome. He did have the best twitter parody account of all time though...which is niiiice. https://mobile.twitter.com/CaptAndrewLuck

^^^^no need for additional threads now as to the above.

So a few things happened while you were off jetsetting or what not; we are eager for your take as to race relations, the Washington franchise moniker, and oh yah, that Mahomes kid! Other than that, not much new around here

At some point the ‘Jay Cutler hanging smoke’ avatar needs to reappear too—that was a classic look

Atlanta United here has been an early surprise in its short MLS history and that’s been a good show now and then—that’s been it on my end. Glad you had the ability to catch so many England matches at that 06 WC; unfortunately getting one of the Germany matches or US team didn’t happen for us—but it was still pretty awesome to catch matches on the fan viewing miles they would have set up basically in every city, so it was a big outdoor Fest everywhere you turned. It’s a blur now but good times. Back to OP’s point, not really sure doing anything other than a lottery for whatever tix pool there is, like FIFA, could be fair? One question is how they would ensure that the majority would go to locals if it’s a random lotto draw and fans wanting to see live games no matter where jump at any of them?

Is there an election upcoming? ?

Sorry if you were ever heckled by my group—German beer packs a bigger wallop than stateside and back then I didn’t practice much self-control in that department . It was a fantastic trip. Which stadiums did you go to? Our game was at the Allianz stadium in Munich.

When I attended the 2006 World Cup with some buddies, we had to basically get our flights/stay details worked out in advance without knowing whether or not we would actually get to see any matches; FIFA used a random lottery system to award the tix, and luckily we got one (although less than marquee--Tunisia v. Saudi Arabia); something similar here probably would be most fair after you have a certain block set aside just for STH's?

Unfortunately there may not be—took a hot minute to even get this gem. Now the Ryan bros on the other hand...

So @Rico is this the unofficial start of the RW pictorial thread that so many upstream have been clamoring about? If so,

Glad it wasn't THAT. It's weird to have hands start cracking from too much soap/sanitizer when not in dry winter months! Stay safe out there bro.

Hey the beard's growing in more fully now! Our wunderkind is growing up way too fast right in front of us

Well said. No question Darnold was viewed as the more finished product coming into the draft, and if there numbers are now virtually neck & neck, that's more of a statement on JA being more capable than perhaps he was given credit for out the gate? https://jetswire.usatoday.com/2018/05/04/uscs-clay-helton-sam-darnold-is-ready-to-lead-the-jets/ https://www.dailynews.com/2017/12/28/miller-uclas-josh-rosen-and-uscs-sam-darnold-are-ready-ripe-for-the-nfl/ Well....

A rhetorical sword this sharp should always be used in the employ of the good. Heaven help us all if you ever turn to the dark side Donuts!

Great what’s next Stefon, a hot air balloon entrance to camp?

Hindsight being 20/20, this was still the right call. Not his fault he was drafted too high with commensurate expectations, but proof is in the pudding that he never established himself anywhere post-Buffalo before retiring.

If you thought being around pee-wee football league parents whose kids are "definitely going all the way" was bad enough already...?

There's something gloriously gratifying about getting a running start with the cart, and then letting it go right when you hit the corral line, and wait for the crunching sound it makes upon impact--why is that??

To permit a welcome diversion from the Washington franchise thread discussions? ?

So he prolly had extra ranch with his wings?

Has anyone plumbed the depths of their fanboards yet to see what the goings-on over there is on this topic? I'm curious, but not enough to check myself. ?
