Getting the Medal of Freedom is about as honorable as being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They’ll give it to anyone these days. They'll have to name it pop music because not many rock bands of the post 00s exist. There are maybe a few that will get there eventually like White Stripes but that's it. I'll stick with my title: The Whores of Rolling Stone Magazine Music Hall. Jann Wenner & The Wieners ? Perfect. Of course that was proven about a minute and a half into this speech:

The Official 2020 College Football thread
pjbear05 replied to laughedatbytime's topic in One Little Victory
What 'Bama did to Ohio State last night was obscene. Although at first I was afraid my main proposition (bet the over) was going into the toilet. But both teams eventually responded. And as much as I hate admitting it, Saban is the GOAT, no denying it now. -
Where Did You Hear The News A Year Ago Today?
pjbear05 replied to _hi_water._'s topic in NEIL PEART - 1952-2020
From here. Thought it was a sick joke until I verified through two other sources. Broke out a snifter and the Armagnac an hour later. :( -

The league has maintained it will not reschedule any game, including a postseason game, for competitive reasons, only medical. However, Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, raised a red flag with his comments Thursday afternoon. https://profootballt...hin-the-browns/ COVID isn't medical? As for the Ravens scenario earlier this year, they didn't exactly get off easy. The Ravens were missing a dozen starters and key contributors, including 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, in Week 12 despite their game against the Steelers being rescheduled three times. https://profootballt...the-postseason/ In the above link, the NFL went on to state...“I think it’s a very slippery slope to either read into or to start making decisions motivated by competitive balance,” NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said in a videoconference Tuesday. “I think once you start making those decisions, it becomes very difficult to manage and also very difficult in order to determine when to stop. A valid point, I suppose. Policy-wise it would seem reasonable to make a distinction between the playoffs and regular season, but re-scheduling a playoff game seems more challenging. There's no replacement game for TV, for example, and then there's short rest for the team that advances. In the end, preventing COVID spread is a responsibility of a team and its players, and the consequences of failing to do so have been clear. What do you think, in the end? What would keep a team from making such a claim in a week or two? Fcuk 'em, play the games as scheduled.

RIP, Tommy Lasorda, 93, longtime Dodger manager
pjbear05 replied to laughedatbytime's topic in One Little Victory
RIP Tommy. Another legend gone. -
Finished Frampton's memoir, yeah that's a keeper. The highs, the lows. The crest of fame with Frampton Comes Alive. The depths of economic despair (ripped off by scumbag manager Dee Anthony). His fight against Inclusion Body Myositis. And the throughout the book story on the loss and recovery of The Phenix (his '54 Les Paul). The Bear highly recommends!

The Guess Who for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
pjbear05 replied to RushFanForever's topic in Music Of The Spheres
This is the more of the topic of bands though. Joni Mitchell wasn't a member of a band. Actually the only time Mitchell was part of a band in a way, was joining The Band onstage with other acts at The Last Waltz concert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7MbmXklj3Q and who the hell is this, a bunch of tricksters? -
https://www.profootb...-class-of-2021/ So, who do you like? What is the limit on how many can get in per year? Jake Delhomme, really? Maybe his career numbers were better than I would suspect. So many great names, though. Peyton Manning Clay Matthews Tony Boselli John Lynch Reggie Wayne Those'd be my picks . . . NFL limits it to 5 inductees per year. Zach Thomas Charles Wolfson Peyton Manning Calvin Johnson.

The Dolphins are going to blown out today. Their fans might want to hope none of the 4 realistic scenarios that put them in the playoffs don’t happen. Because then they’ll get humiliated in the playoffs. Yet again. I hope you have Sunday Ticket so you can watch some meaningful football today instead of the Jets-Patriots. The Dolphins fan ridiculing the Patriots fan about meaningful games. :lol: If all I had to watch today was the meaningless Jets Patriots game I'd probably scan the TV listings to see if there was some soccer on. You should watch the Dolphins Bills game. If the Dolphins win they’re in the playoffs. :lol: Just our luck, the Bills are coming off a bye week. Getting nervous? You should be. Your favorite team is doing what they've done for a generation. Sh*tting the bed when it counts. New year, same old garbage "Fins." :lol: Brady's going to the playoffs again, though. They must have a great system in Tampa. :wacko: The Sun-Sentinel had a field day reporting on the Dolphin Demise. General screwups, "who do we consider on draft day ?" " WTF happened? ", etc. Fins beat writer Orlando Kelly had a good piece questioning if Tua is the end all an be all he was touted as. As you said m8, same old garbage. Added: Dolphins OC Chan Gailey gets it in the ass. Fired. Edit: Apparently the information about Chan Gailey being fired, which I saw go across the ESPN bottom screen ticket while lunching at a bar, had not been fully checked out, and was put out by mistake. He apparently was NOT fired. ESPN announced they "regret the error." " Come on ya motherf--er get your right foot right! " Wednesday Chan Gailey announced he was designing as Dolphins OC.

Stupidest Poll You'll Ever Vote On (#1?)

Nope, not touching this. -
I was going to vote Floyd, but you included Johnny Mac. Mahavishnu Orchestra ftw.

Some asshole from an 800 number calls saying they're going cut off my electricity within 30 minutes for non-payment of my bill. "Please press 2 NOW to speak to a representative or call. .." Yeah, right. That was an hour ago. Mofo's are getting desparate. :facepalm:

Get used to it. Got any tips? Experience is the best teacher after all. This is more from observation than experience, but if you want to emulate the rest of your "fan base", root for the Bucs. That's OK. Actually, I don't expect to have to get used to it anyways. Stopped paying attention already, I see. It's hard to blame you, they were pretty much unwatchable. I thought the Dolphins were totally in the septic tank this season like many seasons recently but while listening to LeBatard's final show on ESPN they did deep Fins talk. Apparently, the Fins were decent this season occasionally showing some promise. Guy who uses "Fins", jerk or no jerk? The Dolphins have not been an NFL caliber franchise for about 30 years. They missed the playoffs. Again. By getting humiliated. Again. They’re garbage. Again. As someone without a dog in this (rather entertaining) fight, I would suggest being careful about knocking the Phins' future chances at playing good football. #3 pick in the draft and more good picks and some young, talented players. They do, like every other franchise, have to get the QB position right though. Don't think Tua is the guy myself. they've been trying for years, by attempts through draft picks, such as "suck for Luck" and "tank for Tua"- deliberately lower your standing to get a higher draft pick.

Black Sabbath Quartet vs. Led Zeppelin Quartet
pjbear05 replied to _hi_water._'s topic in Music Of The Spheres
Zep all the way. I just didn't get into Sabbath as much or as quickly. When I first heard Sabbath I was like, "OK, good band", whereas Zeppelin was "wow"- hit me like a thunderbolt right out of he box, and kept hitting. -

Just started Do You Feel Like I Do? Frampton's memoir. Hoo, boy, right at the start: "Let me tell you one thing -if Peter Frampton does not play, first I kill you, then I kill Peter Frampton". Local promoter in Panama City, Panama, to Peter's road manager. The night before, their cargo plane, carrying their gear, crashed leaving the runway in Caracas, Venezuela, destroying everything, including ( Or so Peter believed at the time) his main axe- his '54 triple pickup Les Paul. They couldn't find gear to play the venue, and the road manager had just informed the promoter-a very good friend of Manuel Noriega-that Pete couldn't play which led to the threats. Siddown and strap in, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Brand X! Good fusion drummer, but overall, Carl Palmer ftw. -
