Pass interference? What pass interference?

 

 

the ref crew from that game....

 

ray, stevie, come on man you could even smell the interference!

 

9 quotes from MLK on his birthday today. Good words to live by IMO.

It's either this or another f***ing poll thread.

Wait, what? It's my birthday? Didn't i just have one last year?

you screwed it up, so do it over.

 

Happy Bday

 

If it wasn't for the way Pittsburgh played against Cleveland, then in one of the A.F.C. Divisional games, it would've likely been Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. It would've, and could've gone either way. Pittsburgh, hasn't ever had, and been a useless N.F.L. team. Before the Kansas City, and Cleveland Divisional game started, I hoped that Kansas City would beat Cleveland.

in their first 38 years in the NFL, the Steelers played exactly zero playoff games.

in the first 58 years of my life, the Lions have won exactly 1 playoff game.

 

I highly doubt I'll ever see more than 1 win.

Ladies and Gentlemen, DoucheBowl 2021

 

 

Those early Police albums are gold. They jumped the shark once Sting hijacked them and starting putting out pop drivel like Do do do and Every Shit You Take.

 

I watched the rehersal videos for The Police tour in 2007. God, Sting is an insufferable passive-aggressive control-freak douchebag.

 

Him and Bono couldn't be in the same room because there's not enough room for both egos.

With NO out, that's my last pick for the big one.

Convicted murderers that die in prison have nothing positive left to give to the world. He had a long history of screwing around with guns, even at the heights of his producing career. One less lunatic to house. Good riddance at this point.

 

Saying RIP is polite send off, but this guy doesn't deserve it.

Red Wings are already eliminated from the playoffs.

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.

I forgot it was on until I found it at halftime. welp...no need to stay up for this.

I like this new playoff format. Don't like having 2 bye teams per conference. The extra team reduces the possibility of a 10 win team missing the playoffs. Even Washington gave TB a game of it.

The Washington-Tampa game would have been played under the old format.

 

The Buffalo- Indianapolis game was hyper entertaining. On the other hand, an 8-8 Trubisky led team made the playoffs :facepalm:

true and the 10 win dolphins missed the playoffs, but they were in opposite conferences. the only realistic improvement on this is you have cross-conference matchups if the win totals are greater for the last 1-2 teams, i.e. no bears, miami plays in nfc.

 

there's always been conferences a little out of balance, especially in the nba. there's been the idea in the nba to seat 1-16 based solely on win totals.

Philly fires Pedersen. I'm guessing he will be at the top of the list of potential new hires.

he's tight with the Jets GM so early talk is going to NY.

 

I think most of his issues in Philly was really poor drafting. Can't turn chicken shit into chicken salad.

Harblow gets a 4 year extension at Michigan. WTF. It was like he was trying to get fired this year. Can you be any more incompetent and keep your coaching job?

The DC rioters getting fired and/or arrested. If your new-found fame is not in perceived in a positive light...face the consequences bitches.

 

Wait a minute! If these guys are all getting fired, who's left to change my oil at Jiffy Lube?

Time for Superbowl picks yet?

 

I'll go with New Orleans and Buffalo. Saints have #4 defense and Buffalo's D is better than KC. Pittsburgh had #2 defense but their offense is a hot mess.

 

Although coaching genius Sean Payton usually outsmarts himself alot of times.

 

Despite the record KC is not as good as last year and it's tough to repeat.

Jets HC Adam Gase gets the boot.

he made patricia look competent.

I always thought the Cygnus X-1 lyrics and singing was Spinal Tap cheesy. But as an instrumental on the last tour it kicked ass.

Perfect response...check the scoreboard dumbshit and stop complaining.

 

Would you rather be a Lions fan? They could really use your help.

 

Although with the Lions personnel moves, there's little hope that they know what they're doing.

 

Drafting Eric Ebron, when you could have had Aaron Donald?

Drafting 5th round players in the 2nd round?

The never-ending 2nd round bust curse?

Letting high draft picks like Laken Tomlinson and Kyle Van Noy go for nothing, just to see them as All Pros and Super Bowl teams?

Not drafting Dline higher the past 3 years when that group is screaming for help?

Overpaying for that backup Oline bust from the Eagles when that money could have paid for a pro-bowl level OG in Glasgow?

 

I honestly feel the Lions personnel would be better selected by a knowledgeable group of fans.

I'm fluid.

 

Don't try to label me. :)

me too. back in the day when there were actually record stores, I would get strange looks and comments when bringing a diverse pile of CDs to the counter.

quick story about ELP...

 

1977

 

I was putting in a new battery in my car that morning and I had tickets to ELP Works tour at MSG that evening. I went to open the battery box and one of the brass staples flew up into my eye. Very painful and I had a little bleeding so I went to the emergency room and the Doc put an eye patch over the eye.

 

I attended the show that night and when the song Pirates came on, I felt one with the song.

 

That's all.

:madra:

Favorite is a tossup between Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery, but I voted for BSS's consistency

Haven't heard all of them, but of what I have heard Works Volume 2 is definitely the weakest (though not bad)

Pictures At An Exhibition would probably rank right behind Tarkus at number 3.

 

Here's a ranking of what I know

 

Brain Salad Surgery

Tarkus

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake, And Palmer

Trilogy

Works Volume 2

 

However, if I had to live with just one ELP album, it would be the triple live masterpiece Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, Ladies And Gentlemen: Emerson, Lake, And Palmer

^^^This. Bitd ABC TV broadcast the California Jam, and ELP's set blew me away. I destroyed 2 vinyl copies of WBMF before picking it up on CD.

Yeah that triple live album had the same magic as ATWAS.

Ok - After an hour of deliberation (over breakfast), my top 10 tracks are -

 

1. Karn Evil 9 from Brain Salad Surgery

2. Tarkus from Tarkus

3. Trilogy from Trilogy

4. Lucky Man from Emerson Lake & Palmer

5. Toccata from Brain Salad Surgery

6. Fanfare For The Common Man from Works Vol. 1

7. The Barbarian from Emerson Lake & Palmer

8. Take A Pebble from Emerson Lake & Palmer

9. Hoedown from Trilogy

10. From The Beginning from Trilogy

I'll take the easy way out and agree with this.

 

Emerson was a God to me in my teens when I was still studying classical piano. Now when I listen to ELP I consider much of it as over-indulgent noodling. Love Beach was a total sellout of an album to comply with the last album requirement of their record contract. Emerson apparently had a coke problem starting with Works that dogged the rest of his career. Never could catch the magic after ELP.

Alabama likes to score in 6-7 plays. Notre Dame prefers the slow death by 3 yard pass approach.

 

Thanks for showing up Notre Dame. Please pick up after yourself.

Cincinnati blew that game with abysmal clock management in their final possession. Twice snapped the ball with 10+ seconds on the play clock then threw an incomplete pass on 3rd down which stopped the clock and cost them another 25 seconds. If Georgia had 45 seconds less to work with they don't win.

 

Conventional clock management is not that hard.

Definitely a low percentage play on 3rd down.

That was Matt Patricia-esque. The one play call that could screw them...and it did.
