  1. Feels like we’ve been pretty bad on 1st down
  2. Watched this last night. So much interesting stuff in it. Herculean effort by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie (after hosting an awards show!) to keep it on track. Geldof giving a speech to get everyone’s minds right. Al Jarreau getting too drunk to sing. Bob Dylan - IMO one of the top 5 most influential people in the room - lacking confidence because he’s way out of his comfort zone. The insane transcendent talent of MJ and Stevie Wonder. Waylon Jennings peacing out when they start talking about putting in Swahili lyrics (Wikipedia says they talked him into coming back but that’s not shown in the doc). A guy like Steve Perry standing around for hours and then nailing his one line in one try. Huey Lewis just being a normal everyday guy and proxy for the audience. And on and on. On top of all that, just watching the background and seeing so many megastars just kinda standing around hanging out is wild. My biggest question is how/why they didn’t get Madonna. They mentioned her for one second early on and showed her at the awards ceremony but never addressed why she didn’t participate.
  3. That was an exceptionally poor offensive series with the game on the line
  4. I resent this post and you should be ashamed of yourself. You completely forgot to mention interminable posts about a stupid fucking flag at a stupid fucking hotel that no one gives a fuck about.
  5. Taylor get the cupgrade?
  6. X and Rice gonna absolutely EAT for the Chiefs this year. Hope you got em on your fantasy team
  7. I read that whole Michigan writeup and I can't believe the guy is going with "I haven't heard of these WRs so they must not be very good". We might not have an individual as good as X or Mitchell (as of right now, at least), but we go legitimately 5 deep, probably 6 deep, with guys that can absolutely hurt you. He does make good points about their DL against our interior OL. It's a strength against a weakness. If they can pressure Quinn with 4, we'll have a lot of trouble sustaining drives. I wouldn't say that staying calm in the face of pressure is one of Quinn's strengths.
  8. Dude makes $10mm a year. He could hit the market looking like Mark Mangino and be just fine.
  9. It's OK, I'll admit it: I have no fucking clue what a "1 play player" is. Is that a typo? Some sort of football hipster terminology I'm not familiar with?
  10. Me when anyone talks about how slow the season has been so far relative to forecasts:
  11. I know people feel some kind of way about Dak right now, but it's pretty fucking incredible that the Cowboys lucked into a very good QB with an UDFA signing, then when he broke down they immediately lucked into a very good replacement with a 4th round pick and yet....they haven't won jack shit over that time span.

    Still way hotter than aggy’s cheerleaders
  14. I would add the caveat of if you can charge at home. It’s a much bigger deal for someone that can’t. For me, this is a big reason to be considering electric though. I can charge at home every night and I just need a commuter vehicle, so I’m like the poster boy for an EV customer right now. I actually had a Lyft ride in a Chevy Bolt the other day. Seemed like a nice little ride. Of course Chevy stopped making them.
  15. I’m sure aggy could have used his *checks notes* 3 catches for 15 yards this weekend. Guessing it came along with a great positive attitude as well.
  16. Why the fuck didn’t the networks line up a full slate of games today with no NFL? I know we’ve got USC-LSU tonight but what am I supposed to do until then? Spend time with my family???
  17. We have an embarrassment of riches at WR. Ryan Wingo is a grown ass man.
  18. GFS 06Z had it heading straight toward Brownsville, then turning right and moving up along the coast (but out at sea). We'd get wet but not much else I think. 12Z is running now, hasn't made it that far ahead yet. FWIW, 00Z run had landfall at Tampico and plowing straight west across Mexico. In other words, nobody knows shit.
  19. I'd say we're officially done at QB, RB, TE, and IOL. At OT, I'm hoping they stay on Fasusi and Rogers but we haven't seen much smoke there. They may be content. My guess is they'd take a WR that they feel can contribute if he falls into their lap, but they won't actively pursue anyone other than Moore. Definitely at least 1 more DT, hopefully 2. Seems like they'd take another EDGE if it's the right guy (Hilson). They want Faraimo but the question is do they pursue another LB if he pick Notre Dame. Maybe the other California guy if USC implodes? DB is a fucking mess and I have no idea. We've all been pearl clutching about DT, but I think DB is actually a bigger problem right now. Especially if Williams is a LB long term. And Terry, who supposedly will start at WR but I kinda don't buy that long term. 2 DT 1 EDGE 3 DB Terry That puts us at 26. Add Faraimo, Moore, or an OT if one of them wants to come. Subtract a DB if they just say fuck it we'll use the portal.
  20. I’m honestly surprised that no one has really tried to moneyball the QB position like this. Draft a steady stream of 3rd-5th rounders and sign cheap veterans to compete. Get 5 guys in camp and go with the one least likely to turn the ball over. You’ll go through some lean years but you’ll also hit the jackpot occasionally. The $40 million you save can go a long way toward the rest of the roster. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but the alternative is paying bums like Baker Mayfield $40m/year.
  21. Yeah well fuck you too
  22. Happy Ffrench Ffriday everybody
  23. Google turns up tons of articles about him entering the portal, but I also can't find a single one about him ending up somewhere. I checked all the rosters of the teams that were listed as interested at the time (Oregon, FSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, LSU) and didn't find him.
  24. It’s unfortunate because Tesla has the most mature product on the market by a mile and ultimately that’s what my concern boils down to. But I personally am not interested at this time. Like someone said, my impression is that Ford and Hyundai/Kia are next farthest along. The F-150 Lightning subreddit is full of people bitching about quality issues, though. Hyundai owners seem a little happier but I think they might still be in the honeymoon phase. If I were looking to lease a vehicle for 3 years and then swap it out for something new, it’s a different story entirely. That’s not how I like to use my vehicles though. I’m afraid I’m in the market about 5 years too early.
