Welp, that didn't last long. I think I'll get a custom shop LP just to help Gibson pay for it's legal fund. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gibson-trump-guitars-cease-and-desist-1235180511/

lions take care of business despite the backup CB Vildor. He couldn't cover my grandma...and she's dead. Next up Bears on Thanksgiving. The end of the Minny Bears game was....interesting. Bears do enough to tie it, but still manage to shoot themselves. That one long play in overtime by Williams really killed them. Son, move your feet, roll-out, run and get some yards or throw it away, but DON'T STAND THERE AND GET A 15 YARD SACK! Kid wants to play hero ball all the time. Bears vs Lions has me worried. Bears played them tough last year and beat them once. Goff had his worse games against them last year. If I was a betting man, I'd pick the Bears to cover. Hoping some teams can knock off Philly and Minny and give the Lions a little breathing room.

Subcontracted Asian Les Paul copy with a fancy paint job. Trump supporters are too foolish to realize they're being taken for a ride.

$4k is pretty salty for a super strat. Ohhhh each one is signed by Al. That doubles the price right there. -
How and why did U2 become so hated band?
HemiBeers replied to Texas King's topic in Music Of The Spheres
Starting with The Joshua Tree, I didn't find their music interesting anymore. They just became the 'big' overrated band that abandoned their origins. The Police and U2 started around the same time. I remember listening to both in college at the time. The Police knew when to stop, U2 didn't. They should have stopped about 30 years ago. -
Lions game. 5 interceptions. win probability of approximately .00000000000000001%. came back and won with their brick salesman kicker. Hey guys, go back to putting up 40. Pulling these crazy games out of your ass is taking years off my life.
-
point taken. but i go with the Dan Campbell philosophy...always go for it. On a tangent discussion, I'm surprised that kickers aren't squib kicking it down to about the 10 on kickoffs. Seems like you could back the return team up short of the 30. Plus a squib kick causes confusion and potential fumbles. The NFL is just taking the cowards way out by kicking touchbacks like last year rendering the new kickoff rules useless. On tweak to the rule: you're allowed only 2 touchbacks per game. After that the touchback comes out to the 40. Another tweak. On missed field goals longer that the 30 yard line, the other team only gets possession at the 30 rather than the spot of the missed kick. Encourage those long field goal tries. I'm on a roll tonight. Give me a NFL advisory job.

going for 2 is about 50/50. coin flip for overtime is 50/50. pick your poison. Given the score, neither team was playing good defense. The coin flip in OT would have determined the winner. According to Google AI: The probability of a successful two-point conversion in the NFL is between 40% and 55%. This is much lower than the success rate for a one-point conversion, which is between 90% and 95%. However, the two-point conversion has a higher expected value because of its higher value. Some factors that affect the success rate of a two-point conversion include: Team offense Teams with better offenses are more likely to succeed. For example, the top 10% of projected offenses per game converted at a 59% rate, while the lower third converted at just above 40%.

if it makes you feel any better, every team that's played the lions loses the next game. Next up for Green Bay is da Bears. ooops edit...titans beat patriots today. bless your heart.

minny kicker has the yips tonight. pushed a 53 yarder and doinked a 31 yarder.

olave was knocked out by a cheap shot by xavier woods. woods penalized but not ejected. that was a brutal cheap shot. "Olave was hit in the head and neck by Panthers safety Xavier Woods while attempting to catch a high pass from quarterback Derek Carr across the middle of the field. Woods was flagged for unnecessary roughness for the play, his ninth such penalty since entering the NFL in 2017, which is the most in the league during that span." but new york didn't eject him. f***ing double standard.
-
ok the fix is in. NFL wants the packers to win, so new york throws branch out. utter bullshit. the game is affected by gambling and is on the fix.

oh that's too easy. Invite them into the Dodgers clubhouse after LA wins. lock the door and turn out the lights. What's wrong fellas? Ballsack shrink just a little when you're not backed by thousands of your buds?

Rush, The Albums: 1989-1996 Box Set Announcement
HemiBeers replied to Holdyourfireal's topic in Rush
the three albums no one likes. i'll pass. -
in the case of high draft pick QBs, many times the organization is pushing them to start too soon. Mahomes was successful because he sat for a season. The organization sell themselves as the experts and always 'get their guy' in the draft. In reality it's much more of a crapshoot. That in combination with poor coaching or scheme will doom a young player.
-
I think someone mentioned good organization and coaching, but I digress. Caleb Williams was the definition of skittish and 'happy feet' in that game. Lions will be sending Christmas cards to the Bears for giving us Montgomery for a song. The one guy that was overperforming his contract and you let him walk? Geeeeezzz
-
yet tennesee gives him away in favor of a draft bust and a backup retread. It's greatly underestimated how much good organization and coaching affects QB play. rumor starter: Lions will deal Hendon Hooker as part of a deal for a top shelf DE. I like Z Smith in Cleveland since his cap number is reasonable.
