Haven’t seen this posted anywhere yet so thought I’d share—sorta feel bad for the guy, but then I remember he’s a former Cowboy, so I take that thought back as quickly as it comes: https://www.sbnation.com/2019/1/27/18199841/jason-witten-broke-the-dang-pro-bowl-trophy

Why are you a fan of such a “loser” franchise? If the SB years and winning all of those AFC titles and 13 wins per reg season sucked so bad, then just how miserable has it been during the drought, am I right? But I’m sorry that a fun team to watch that had a cutting edge O and brought it every week, and was the bane of Dan Marino’s existence, means nothing to you.

I’ve seen some egregiously questionable hot takes made into threads around here, but this one is...special. A lot of other posters here have already pointed out just how special, so I won’t pile on the OP. But SMH ??‍♂️.

But that’s just the crazy part—NP was an All-Pro in practices and preseason, pretty much always. How he kept getting starting chances for the real games

Wow ?—stay warm gentlemen, and hope the house pipes make it through ok for you too!

Good to know! One of those pesky facts not disclosed during the safety speech monologues performed at the beginning of each flight.

Also, while not a war movie in the sense of not a lot of explosions and unending machine gun chatter, "The One That Got Away" (1957) is definitely one of the best I've ever seen from the standpoint of suspense and a great escape based on a true story, a la if you liked "The Great Escape," I think you will also really like this one. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050803/

Great list. Der Untergang is one of the best at depicting the final chaotic days in Berlin--love it. For another German classic, you can't go wrong with "Stalingrad," the 1993 Joseph Vilsmaier-directed piece. The storylines are more compelling in that than Enemy at the Gates, imho. There's a scene where infantry soldiers with no heavy guns are facing a T-34 massed attack that is alone worth watching it for. "Generation War" used to be on Netflix, has some good Russian front combat sequences. Battle of Britain (1969). Like you said, so many, hard to keep track of them all.

You have a way with the words my friend. However, they never give me sugar cookies--I usually have to make do with peanut butter crackers, the kind with the orangey-looking cracker part? Oh well, can't win em all.

I don't want to even imagine. Is it possible to ask for a special solo drop of an oxygen mask along the way to help out? I sometimes get underarm rashes from the aluminum derivatives in anti-perspirants, but regular deo usually is fine--the only difference is that it doesn't stay as dry as an anti-perspirant would. A deodorant of any kind definitely always needs a masking fragrance scent, otherwise I'd be more like your friend, and no one wants that around .

This will sound terrible, but I gave for the first time while in college, because one of the sorority ladies I was interested in at the time was a long-time donator and I played it off as "of course, I give too" and will join you in the mobile ARC bus...so needless to say, my motivations were not from the goodness of my heart. I've always hated needles so this was kind of a big deal for me. Fast forward a generation, and I've done it periodically since, with no hope for romantic entanglements as a direct result, so maybe I'm not quite as selfish as I used to be? (I hope)

OP, this thread is approx. 3 months too late. You coulda signed me up for this in the dog days of October though, for sure.

Ouch...this might be 'all she wrote' for his career unless he somehow storms back in somebody's training camp as an extra body.

Revolutionary for his time! Back then nobody cared about head trauma, but his idea was sound in principle, no? I agree--really liked him

I respect the dynastic greatness we’ve seen from the Pats/Brady/BB since 2001, and I’ve grudgingly referred to TB12 as the GOAT on these boards plenty. As Bills fans we should know as much as anybody just how much of a feat it is to sustain any kind of greatness over time, coming back time after time. That disclaimer out of the way, doesn’t mean we don’t get to poke fun at their expense—I will be reprising a memes thread the week before every game against them like I did this year, because, why not? As football fans we can appreciate what run they’re on (unnecessary cheating episode warts notwithstanding), but as Bills fans we get to also boo their arrogant smug mugs and pile on, hoping to crack their streaks with our own new wunderkind at the helm. We can do both, people!

Excuse me Sean, your playcall sheets look like they could use another layer of laminating--I'll get that taken care of for you right away!

@Bleedingreennc Always good to see a fan of another team, especially a rival in the AFC E, having kind words to say in a situation like this!

The Browns used to be the cream of the NFL crop when they first entered the league...what a disaster for the most part since then! The Browns won a championship in their inaugural NFL season, as well as in the 1954, 1955, and 1964 seasons, and in a feat unequaled in any of the North American major professional sports, played in their league championship game in each of the Browns' first ten years of existence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns I suppose we don't have a whole lot of room talk with the drought and all, but still, they have taken awfulness to a record setting level of their own. Of course, their future looks very bright, so there's that.

Always a class act Ice! Stay warm up there.

One of the local sports radio stations here did a "tease" this morning before a commercial break, saying something to the effect that, 'wait till you hear which long time coach was just sent packing by a successful NFL club, and who has been mentioned as the most likely highly entertaining candidate to replace him'--and of course I figured right away they had to be talking about this, which is what it was, with no additional sourcing info behind it beyond the Schefter tweet. Made me wonder if I'm in the wrong line of work if that's all it takes as a radio talking jockey? I get they're not sports journalists in that sense, but to not even consider how or why that take might not be accurate, is what got me as a listener.

You're right---I need to go back into hiding and think up other topics I can go back to being passive aggressive on so no one is directly offended.

Really dude? Take it at face value and move on. It was some tongue in cheek humor, and the fact that I even have to explain that is ridiculous. Sorry that didn't strike you as funny. That said, I've directly commented/called out plenty on the multiple fire everyone type threads that popped up during the worst stretches of the 2018 season, if you care to go back and review.

Sure hope Rex in expecting to get the job, didn't already instruct his realtor to find a house most likely to be hit in Tornado Alley out there. Also, I bet the red Chiefs wrap would be harder to get off his truck than Buffalo Blue.

Wrong Josh picked first again! When will the right Josh finally get his due?

Not meant at you OP! Just the hot take themes that came up periodically during the 2018 campaign
