Well it didn't take long for a Touching the Passer call to make me cuss the TV and football in general. Cleveland given 15 free yards plus stopping the clock allowing them just enough time to kick game winner against Carolina. Worse thing is  Replay shows it was Cleveland blocker's arm who touched quarterback's helmet. 

Was even worse call than the Tackling the Passer call in the first quarter when some of the defender's body touched the quarterback when they both fell to the ground. 

Happy anniversary Rick!  

One of my first and few memories from early elementary school was a school gathering when I was in 2nd grade. The only thing I remember is some girl lip syncing to "Honestly I love you" as her part of the program. I thought it was a pretty song. 

Entertainment Tonight came on right after the news tonight and led with Olivia story and played a segment of that song.  That may have been the only time I've ever heard that song but it took me back to that moment nearly 50 years ago in 2nd grade. That's the power of music.

Duel at Diablo 1966 starring  James Gardner and Sidney Poitier. Outstanding Western! 

So I passed 2 Kidney stones Sunday evening. The pain is excruciating in the most tender of places. I shook the emergency room walls with my roaring and screams. I was the guy that  everybody else in the hospital says to themselves .."at least I don't have what that guy's got." 

Took very strong type of morphine to manage it. Was a 5 hour hurricane of agony that left as quickly as it beset.

My favourite VP film was always "House of Wax", I loved that as a kid and still watch it every so often. 

Yes, one of the first movies I saw as a kid also. Seen it a couple times always good.

 

Congrats to Will Smith on both his very first and very last Oscar.

 

Last Oscar? I doubt it.

 

In the hedonistic world of Hollywood and pop culture, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

 

The Cult of Celebrity guarantees that both Smith and Rock will profit from this "scandal".

the academy may take their Oscar back. Smith probably won't come back from this. His selfish display was beyond the pale. He disgrace their hallowed Hall and they are very pissed I assure you.

I've always thought from the beginning if she is so sensitive about her hair loss why doesnt she just wear a wig, people have been doing it for thousands of years. Perhaps she's too proud to wear one. I find them both equally and completely self-absorbed and very unhappy people.

 

It was Smith who took it upon himself to defend her. She has been very public about her condition and has worn wigs but decided like some others who have alopecia to go natural. It is also sad that Chris Rock did a movie in 2009 about black women and their hair and dedicated it to his daughters. Why he was so insensitive after that is a head scratcher. Just wish the media would drop it, there are so many other important things going on in the world right now.

You're right. Will Smith laughed at the joke then when he saw that she didn't got up and made an ass of himself on the world stage of the "greatest night in Hollywood". Bazzar if you think about it. He did take it upon himself but I can't help believing she has a lot to do with how he reacted.

Cocks win!

And they should be as proud as one.They played a great game. Made history. Pretty cool.

An unusually well balance team for such a small university. Wildest March Madness I can remember.

I gotta ask, was it worth watching?

Not really a movie but a documentary. I watched The Tinder Swindler last night.

Been thinking of checking that one out. Looks interesting.

Finished watching Power of the Dog last night. A relentless antagonist drains nearly all joy from the story but it's got a great twist at the end, literally, that rewards the faithful.

Commies (thats a gimmee) and I like Commandos, they arent wearing underwear.

:lol: I like Commandos.

Comrades also fitting.

Let's go Bengals!!!

 

Absolutely.

The underdogs. Or cats, whatever.

Dr. Johnny Fever dies and Bengals get into Super Bowl.

Dang. Really loved that character. Thanks, Mr Hesseman, for that. But yeah, a bit ironic.

 

And yes or no, Bailey was really the hot one?

 

Bailey over Loni Anderson's character? Abso-damn-lutely.

Yes Bailey definitely.

 

Can never not think of the phone cops episode. "The real cops are in on it." :lol:

Good game. Great defensive secondary effort today by Cincy. Would have never called Bengals in the super bowl this year. So congrats Bengals.

Team A gets ball. Either scores, punts, turns it over

Team B gets the ball. Either scores, punts, turns it over

Check to see if game still tied. If not, game over. If still tied, repeat this process

 

Just like baseball.

 

It is so damn easy....

 

If not the way its done now, this would be fine. Still a "shoot out" but with the real game.

I think you just made Ray Finkle's list. :lol:

I'm against changing the rules. The game isn't won on a coin toss now. If the team that gets the ball first doesn't score a touchdown, the other team gets the ball. If a defense can't keep the other team out of the end zone on one possession, they deserve to lose the game.

 

People are raving about how great the Bills-Chiefs game was, and I agree the ending was "exciting," But, personally, I view that outcome the same way I would view an 11-9 baseball game or a 7-5 hockey game. The defenses played like garbage for the last 5 minutes of the game.

 

I agree with not changing the rules.

I'd prefer the old rule of whoever scores first wins to what it is now.

 

But that comes closer to turning on a coin toss. The team that wins the coin toss takes the ball, and just has to get in field goal range, which now is usually north of 50 yards. At least now if you hold them to a field goal, you get the ball with a chance to win or extend the game.

So play defense and stop them.

 

Or take care of business in regulation. But the data show clearly that in a playoff situation scoring a touchdown in overtime is not a high bar.

 

You're working my side of the street. That's MY position. If you can't keep them out of the end zone just 1 time, you deserve to lose.I'm just saying that the current system is more indulgent of the kicking team than sudden death.

Who is you? The team that defends first, or the team that defends second? The FAIR thing to do is allow both teams to have a chance to score. The only reason they don't is for time and the fact some say safety. If both teams score TDs on their 1st possession they should have a FG shoot off.

 

You refers to the defense on the field at the start of overtime. All they have to do is keep the other team out of the end zone, and they guarantee their team a chance to score. If they can't do that, on 1 series, then I'm sorry, they don't get the participation trophy. "Fairness" comes into play with the coin toss.

Four words. Field Goal Shootouts Matter. Say it Rick. Say its name.

 

How about these 4 words, "defensive captains arm wrestle?"

I hear ya but not very marketable. First it doesn't have a cool term like shootout in it. And also they'll set the goal posts on fire. It going to be badass and help elevate the kickers to the thick thighed gods they should be known as.

Leave it alone. You leave a team time to tie you, and can't defend well enough to let them tie you and score a TD in OT, tough s--t. Same for regular season.

Field goal Shoot Out! I'm tellin ya the fans would love it! :lol:

A FG shoot off would actually be great, but more reasonable is to play sudden death 2 pt conversions and the winner of the coin toss gets to choose whether to play offense or defend the 2 pt conversion. If you score you win, if you deny the score then you win. That good, fair, and quick.

Wow. Great game! Congrats Bills.

opps might not be over. Only up by 3 pts. :lol:

PLEASE keep posting.

 

:lol:

Jinx master at your service sir. :lol:

Chiefs Nation thanks you!

:lol: Honestly tho. If a team can drive 50 yards in 13 secs when they have to, then they deserve the win. Feel bad for Buffalo, but that's unacceptable.
