  1. La Fleur blinked, I think. He thought Love and Jones could magically get 1st downs. They didn't.
  2. Thanks to that totally unnecessary incomplete pass, his rating is now 157.2. Keep him on the sideline, Coach!!
  3. Jordan Love: 16 of 20; 272 yards, 3 TD's, 158.3 Rating He did OK.
  4. Doesn't it seem like every missed INT in the end zone is followed by a touchdown? If Campbell catches that, oh man.....
  5. Aaron Jones plays like he’s supercharged in his home state (El Paso). He loves this field!
  6. Packers v. Cowboys, AT&T Stadium: 2013 Season: Packers 37–36. Backup QB Matt Flynn leads a massive 2nd half, come-from-behind win 2016 Season: Packers 34–31. Packers win on game-winning 51-yard field goal by Mason Crosby as time expires. 2017 Season: Packers 35–31. Davante Adams catches the winning TD pass with 11 seconds remaining. 2019 Season: Packers 34–24. Aaron Jones ties a Packers franchise record with 4 rushing touchdowns. 2023 Season: ???????? I hope we win. -- Fezzig (The Princess Bride)
  7. It will all depend on the talent his GM gives him. Rebuilding the team will probably take longer than two years. Having the #3 pick will help.
  8. - 8° right now. High of 1° today, low of -15° tonight. Negative numbers will pass in about 8 days, and we'll be above 32° after that. Having late January be in the mid to upper 30's is a good sign that February won't be so bad. I'm not placing any bets, though....
  9. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Moving swiftly one day after parting ways with legendary coach Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots hired Jerod Mayo as his successor and the 15th head coach in franchise history, the team announced Friday. A linebacker for the Patriots from 2008 to 2015 after being selected in the first round of the draft out of Tennessee, Mayo joined Belichick's coaching staff in 2019, serving as linebackers coach. Mayo, 37, is set to be formally introduced at a news conference Wednesday. By signing Mayo, the Patriots have made it clear that they went to Jerod because they expect him to put on a coaching clinic.
  10. I don't see any Matt Damon. I just see Jon Cryer after he went completely insane.
  11. Back then, with all the drug use and abuse, every band’s live performances were crapshoots. Audiences could get a magical show or a shit show. When I think back to all the shows I saw back then, I consider myself very lucky. No shit shows that I can remember.
  12. Mother says that if I finish shoveling tonight, she may give me an extra bowl of gruel in the morning....
  13. ESPN has been on the downward spiral for years. Once they downsized all their older and wiser reporters (RIP "The Sports Reporters"), the channel's fate was sealed. It is now a shit tabloid news channel.
  14. The nexus of the scheme was “College GameDay,” the show that Fitting helped turn into a cultural phenomenon and a revenue machine. From 2008-18, it nabbed eight Emmys for outstanding weekly studio show. But on-air talent was, until 2023, prohibited by NATAS guidelines from being included in a credit list in that category. Hosts, analysts and reporters on “College GameDay” could win individual awards, such as outstanding host, studio analyst or emerging on-air talent. They could win for an individual feature, but they were not eligible to take home a trophy for a win by the show. That rule was meant to prevent front-facing talent from winning two awards for the same work (termed “double-dipping” in the NATAS rulebook). ESPN circumvented the rule by inserting fake names into the credit list it submitted to NATAS for “College GameDay.” The Athletic reviewed the credit lists for the years the show won: 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In each one of those seven years, names similar to the names of on-air personalities – and with identical initials – were listed all under the title of “associate producers.” https://theathletic.com/5193316/2024/01/11/espn-emmys-fake-names-college-gameday/?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur
  15. 8" or more coming at me. High winds, then sub-zero temps! How wonderful that my snow blower's pull cord quit on me. The new one will arrive in 2-3 days....
  16. Some coaches willingly devote their lives to the torture.....
  17. Parcells: You're gonna have to work hard to be in the League as long as I have. Belichick: OK....what was your name, again?
  18. More portals than at the Avengers Headquarters battlefield!
  19. Same here. When I do listen to Led Zeppelin, I play the studio albums. Their live performances were powerful, but they lacked the nuances of the studio versions. Also, they were at times sloppy on stage, often because they were so drugged up.
  20. The shot of Jimmy Page with red, glowing eyes was from the band's concert film, The Song Remains the Same. Throughout the film, we get some trippy scenes involving the band members. It was especially trippy when you were stoned!
  21. No divine assistance for YOU, Crybaby Carroll! You're OUTTA HERE!!
  22. If you've seen their concert film, The Song Remains The Same, you know that Jimmy Page has mystical powers!
  23. But....but....he sold his soul to the Devil for immortality!
