  1. Calypso...it's what's for after dinner.
  2. Andy was too much of a loyal believer in upchuck McNabb. He would probably be the same if he had Dak. He just lucked out and got an actual big game qb in KC, after several teams passed on him.
  3. Shame what has happened to FM radio, even AM as well. It's hard to pick up a station more than a short drive away without it being buried in static from down south. I wish they could figure out a way to filter out he bullshit so you could pick up a halfway decent music station or pick up a game while on the road. I hate streaming in cars. Radio was free and it worked for ages.

    RIP John Sykes

    I think it is one of those typical lip synced shows from back in the day. Not a lot of good live video from those days. In fact, come to think of it, I don't even think Sykes even played on that record but joined the tour after the album was released, then was a major writing contributor on the next one. He probably would have played something more complicated on that song. But still, he looks great on stage.

    RIP John Sykes

    This is my favorite Whitesnake song (I really only dug the earlier stuff), with Sykes, and another one of my all time favorite guitar players, Mel Galley, formerly of Trapeze.
  7. Some of that also could explain Dowdle's decent season stats. They looked pretty good, but it was largely because the defense really didn't GAF about him. Useful, but not that dangerous.

    I'll just put this hear, too. This 2004 Thin Lizzy show was my first and only (I know, it's not the real thing). I really went mainly for Deep Purple and Joe Satriani, who they were opening for. I hadn't really listened to Lizzy that much in my youth, just the few songs that people knew. After this show I was so impressed with the songs, as well as Sykes and Gorham as a tandem, with Sykes also lead singer, it got me to really dive deep into the Thin Lizzy catalog. Now they are way up there in my top favorite rock bands of all time.
  9. On paper, Ohio State should take this. But I have a weird feeling that Notre Dame is the team of destiny. I like the coach.
  10. John Sykes, RIP. I photographed him here with the 2004 version of Thin Lizzy in Dallas. \
  11. He's still younger than Brandon Weeden was when he was drafted, so maybe he's got a chance.
  12. Exactamundo. Get a decent staff with modern football knowledge. Or even better, future football knowledge.
  13. Most I ever spent on a guitar was a Rickenbacker 360 12-string fresh from the factory. It was absolute gorgeous and sounded great, and being a Beatles and Tom Petty fan I wanted one for a long time. But that neck kept seriously bowing on it like a bitch, so after about 6 adjustments over several months I sold it, and I was relieved to get my money back out of it. I couldn't play it anyway with my fatass fingertips on that skinny neck. I struggle enough with 6 strings.
  14. Aging comedians doing travel shows seems to be the natural progression of things, certainly worked for the Pythons. They tend to be good shows. I'll have to watch this someday. Conan was the last of the watchable late night guys.
  15. Throwing footballs around in the ice and snow after already seeing about 20 drops seemed like the wiser strategery.
  16. Now with KC's growing celebrity shithole booth you can pretty much do both at the same time.
  17. Commoders vs fecals, a match made for 2025 football.
  18. Damn sure not with the D he had in Dallas. Hey, great news: All of Detroit's hot assistant coaches are available now! LOL
  19. Looking forward to that douche blowing another 4 score lead in the Superbowl.
  20. If Kellen Moore is really 6-foot then I have a 14-inch pecker. And he's a total fraud as a coach.
  21. Keep in mind, most of the actual qualified candidates out there are still in the playoffs.
  22. I'm not sure. I think an ambitious young gun would be more likely to jump at a chance to coach the Cowboys than an experienced veteran coach that better knows what he would be up against. But it's really more up to different strokes different folks.
  23. That's probably the best strategy in almost every draft. The percentages of top 5 qb picks living up to expectations is not that great.
  24. He already had one foot in the grave and a size 16 shoe on a banana peel.
  25. I think the biggest problem with McCarthy was that almost his entire staff was old fucks that were somewhat detached from modern NFL trends.
