Not all of it...mainly the post-DLR Van Hagar era. And they were a total force of nature in concert at their peak, which ended around 1982. But yeah, this guy is hilarious. Reminds me of the websites and bloggers that will write any gibberish, no matter how outlandish or inane, just to generate page views and chase "controversy".

And neither is your guitar. Treat her well, young grasshopper. Nice to see you, Andy.

You mean the new "Hobbit"? I'm in the theatre myself right now...5 minutes away from "The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies". Not sure if I am excited or just glad this whole drawn out affair is finally reaching its conclusion. I haven't really enjoyed these Hobbit movies as much as I liked Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies.

zepscoda, I just fixed your season numbers. Haha, in my bleary state I put in your week 15 numbers by mistake.

Totally forgot to look for YouTube clips. A friend sent me this yesterday. The climax of the night...last song of the Roxy show.

Pay attention everyone...there are games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday this week. Week 16 Schedule Thursday Dec. 18 Tennessee @ Jacksonville (Huh?!? Who in their right mind would watch this exercise in tedium? Ratings should be an all-time low.) Saturday Dec. 20 San Diego @ San Francisco Philadelphia @ Washington Sunday Dec. 21 Cleveland @ Carolina Detroit @ Chicago Baltimore @ Houston Minnesota @ Miami Atlanta @ New Orleans New England @ New York Jets Kansas City @ Pittsburgh Green Bay @ Tampa Bay New York Giants @ St. Louis Indianapolis @ Dallas Buffalo @ Oakland Seattle @ Arizona Monday Dec. 22 Denver @ Cincinnati

All hail zepscoda, who won the week with a whopping 14-2 record. I'll have to check the books, but I believe that is the highest picking percentage anyone has had this season. Way to go zepscoda! After starting a week late and way behind you have been coming on strong of late and are now only two behind LedZeppfan77. As for the top 3, it remains unchanged as jb126, Walter, and Anjin-san all had 13-3 records. In fact, more than half of our contestants finished 13-3 or better for Week 15.

Two more Christmas albums loaded in the CD carousel... A Motown Christmas A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra...ring-a-ding-ding!

Smart woman. My co-worker tortured me with that Dylan Christmas album the other day.

On the youtube video you want to post, you should see a row of words "Add to", "Share", and "More" below the video clip. Click on the one titled "Share" and a drop down box will appear with the URL shaded in blue. Copy that URL using the Copy + Paste menu on your browser toolbox headings and then paste it in your reply box on the Forum. Post. Simple as that. Breaking out the Christmas music...one of the greatest ever: Vince Guaraldi Trio "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

^^^ Murray will still play. It is in his left hand, not his right and plenty of players have played with broken hands before. Ooops. Buffalo travels to Oakland this week, not the other way around. That changes things a little. It's on, Rick! Bring your Buffalo bitches to the Black Hole! Hahaha.

Raiders haven't beaten Buffalo in Buffalo since ?...it has got to be a long, long time...I'll have to look it up. But your Bills should have no trouble with Billy Joe Armstrong and the Raiders this week, Rick.

I disagree with you somewhat on that notion, Paul. It is far easier to win in Arizona for a road team than it is in Seattle or Green Bay. So even if Arizona gets the number one seed, I wouldn't say they would be in the driver seat the way Seattle or Green Bay would be if they are the top seed. As for Detroit, I'll believe it when I see it. As much as I would like to believe the Lions can step up and wrest the NFC North title away from Green Bay, their past performance doesn't inspire much confidence. Redrum must be in shock over what has happened to San Francisco. Total meltdown and crumbling of what looked to be a promising run.

The Dodgers are sure rolling the dice. Their moves could be crazy-stupid...or crazy-genius.

The spam was a joke...as you no doubt knew, hehe. No spam was had. Ham, yes...spam, no. Tonight: center-cut pork chops grilled with garlic butter, cannellini beans, kale, yellow split-pea soup. Cupcake Vineyards 2010 Sauvignon Blanc.

Sorry. This is a twerk-free zone.

That was a great game and victory by your Leafs, Patrycja. Doughty is a fun player to watch. Kings are kind of muddling through the early part of the season. But it is all about who gets the momentum in April and May, not November-December.

Yeah, that's more like it. When that 21-0 lead became a 24-21 deficit, I was thinking "here we go again". But Dallas finally showed some gumption and now they are in the driver's seat for the division title. Indianapolis will be tough but still winnable, and they should destroy Washington in their last game. The Eagles, meanwhile, finish the season at Washington and the Giants. Green Bay put their number one seed in doubt with that loss to Buffalo. Seattle is coming on strong, and the Seattle-Arizona game will have #1 seed implications. New England is, as always, the eternal AFC East champions...the king of the east. Miami and Buffalo may have pretensions of contesting for the crown but they are like the emperor with no clothes. With Rodgers' pratfall in Buffalo, Tom Brady should be the odds-on favourite for NFL MVP.

This is true. Maybe it was because I grew up in Orange County as opposed to Los Angeles County, but I don't remember seeing a single promotional poster around town for any of the Led Zeppelin shows I saw. None for sale at the merch table, such as it was, at the gigs, either.

Jesus freaking Christ. I can't believe these Cowpokes, Walter. If it's December it must be time for Romo to el foldo.

Damn. Miami putting up a fight. Buffalo's defense keeping them in the game. Oakland stumbling and bumbling as usual. And the Browns are SHIT as I've said all along, Rick.

I was hoping for snow in Buffalo. Rick, your city let me down, hehe. I've got Miami @ New England, Green Bay @ Buffalo,Cincinnati @ Cleveland, and Oakland @ KC on my bar screens...and bottomless Mimosas.

Hey Andy, I guess your ditto comment means your picks are exactly the same as jb126's?

Yes, as I wrote a couple weeks ago the bye weeks were over and the remaining weeks would be full 16-game schedules. A couple picks short...apantherfrommd and Anjin-san.

Searching for that perfect week...and thanks to the Lambs, started off on the wrong foot immediately. Thursday Dec. 11 St. Louis Sunday Dec. 14 Pittsburgh...This game has the makings of a shootout, as neither of these teams play much defense. Which shows you how bad Pittsburgh has suddenly become defensively...Troy Polamalu should probably retire. Baltimore...Lock of the week, which means it could be a trap game for Baltimore if they don't pay attention. Green Bay...Aaron Rodgers or Kyle Orton? Ummm, I will take Rodgers every time. And we know the refs will favour Green Bay with their calls. Tampa Bay...Anybody watching these two bozo teams needs to seriously get a life. Cleveland...Murphy's Law applies to both these two teams, so we may get another tie game. Indianapolis...Another possible "lock of the week", except division games can be tricky. Kansas City...No matter how improved the Raiders looked against San Francisco, Kansas City is always murder on Oakland...especially for a rookie quarterback. New England...Sorry Paul, New England seems to be rounding into peak form, while Miami can't seem to stop shooting themselves in the foot. New York Giants...Colt or RGIII or Cousins...will the circus never end in DC? The question isn't whether RGIII's days in Washington are numbered but whether Jay Gruden's days are? San Diego...It pains me to pick the Chargers as I hate them, but what the hell, AFC West games are usually full of surprises. New York Jets...Not many positives about these two teams of incompetents so I will grasp at the straw of the Jets superior defense. Detroit...If Detroit is truly ready to live up to their playoff potential, these are the games they must win. Lose to Minnesota and you can kiss the season goodbye. Seattle...What looked to be one of the games of the year seems like a mismatch now...unless the Forty-whiners have been playing possum lately. If Seattle embarrasses San Francisco, Harbaugh may resign or be fired on the spot. Dallas...With plenty of preperation this time, I fully expect Dallas to run Murray left, right and up the gut and control the clock. The Eagles can't score if they don't have the ball. Monday Dec. 15 New Orleans...I won't give up on pottedplant's team.
