  1. Not having "Moby Dick" in the setlist makes the 1971 and 1972 UK/European shows fly by with no lag.

    Hello!

    Cool avatar photo.
  3. Greetings. Did you buy it framed like that or have it done afterwards?
  4. Baltimore San Francisco Detroit Buffalo (Picking with my heart...want the Bills to end the Kelce/Taylor Swift/Mahomes/Andy Reid/State Farm ads nauseating nonsense)
  5. Hope we get some more snow for this week's games.
  6. The Jimmy Johnson curse continues. The Day of Reckoning for Dallas is at hand. For the coach, for the quarterback, for the so-called leader of the defense, and as Paul mentioned, for Jerry Jones himself. Because when you lose in humiliating fashion in the playoffs in your own home, everything is up for reexamination, starting with the rotting old man at the top. It's kind of laughable that Green Bay and San Francisco have won more playoff games in JerryWorld than the Cowboys. McCarthy was a laughable hire from the start so his incompetence has not been a surprise...especially to Green Bay fans who were glad to see him go. It's been a riot watching him ordering Grand Slam breakfasts from his Denny's menu on the sidelines. But with the way Dak and CeeDee Lamb and the offense had clicked this season, you had to figure that Dallas could at least win one home playoff game before flaming out against the 49ers or the Lions. Especially against a quarterback making his first playoff start. Watching the game on Sunday however, it looked more like Jordan Love was the NFL veteran. In fact, if you had sat down someone unfamiliar with the teams to watch the playoff games that Dak Prescott, Jordan Love, and CJ Stroud played this past weekend, they would have probably guessed that it was Dak making his first playoff start, not the other two. It is clear now more than ever, Dak Prescott has got to go. Dallas would be making a huge mistake giving him piles of more money. Cut your losses now, trade him and get someone else who is cheaper or try to draft a quarterback in this year's class. Last week the NFL Network showed the 2016 playoff game between Green Bay and Dallas...Dak's first year. Along with being shocked that Dak has been in the league that long, I was taken aback by how little his game has improved. His reads are still slow. He panics under pressure. Plus, like Russell Wilson he's lost the youthful athleticism he had. If you took tape of Tom Brady from his first year and then watched tape from seven or eight years later, you would see definite improvement. Quicker reads, more accurate throws, more grace and calm under pressure, knowing how to capitalize on what the defense is doing and exploit their weaknesses. The same if you watched tape of Joe Montana, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Troy Aikman, any great Super Bowl winning quarterback. What you see with Dak Prescott is a quarterback who has reached his ceiling and maybe has even regressed. Going back over the schedule, you see Dak feasted on garbage teams, piling up garbage stats in garbage time. Even his stats from the Green Bay loss are a mirage. The majority of those 400 yards passing were meaningless. When Dallas goes up against elite teams, Dak gags. So does Micah Parsons. Another playoff game, another game where Parsons was seemingly invisible as you hardly saw or heard his name called when it mattered. Dan Quinn? Ha...not a good resume to put out there for any team looking to interview him for a head coaching job. The 2023 Cowboys were a complete and utter failure. It's time to blow the whole team up and start over. Starting with the Skeletor at the top.
  7. It's all chalk city in the divisional round save for Green Bay. The Packers were the only lower seed to make it to the second round. Both NFC East teams laid a big fat turd in the playoffs. The Cowboys and Eagles were paper tigers. Watching the Clownboys and Sheagles go down in flames is always fun.
  8. Or tell the defense which way the play is coming with those "false Shanahan" calls.
  9. Alright, who had Reggie Bush as the last player to score a touchdown for the Detroit Lions in the playoffs? I had forgotten Reggie even played on the Lions. 😲
  10. Jerry Jones doesn't operate that way.
  11. 41-16 Green Bay and it is still only the third quarter.
  12. Bryce is in football hell in Carolina. He needs a new coach and environment or else he'll end up shell-shocked and broken like David Carr in Houston.
  13. Bratwurst with onions and peppers grilled in hot pepper sauce. Warm German potato salad. Baked beans. Chips and vegetable crudites and onion dip. EKU Hefeweizen beer.
  14. At least Dallas scored before the half to get rid of the goose egg. They get the ball to start the second half so they could theoretically still make it a game. I've seen enough of Tua now to know he's not the guy who's going to take the Dolphins to the promised land. I'm sorry jabe...I know you're a 'Bama guy and love Tua but he's not a franchise quarterback.
  15. With a new season of "True Detective" upon us, I am rewatching the first and best season of "True Detective". The season with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
  16. We have done this Pick 'Em thing 10 times starting with the 2012 season. Five of us have played every time...jabe, LedZeppfan1977, paul carruthers, Walter, and me. Bong-Man and ebk started playing in 2014 and are the only other ones who have played the majority of the 10 NFL Pick 'Ems. Here are our aggregate totals and our season average from highest to lowest. 1. Bong-Man: 162.7 - 94.7 7 years for a total of 1,139 - 663 2. Strider: 161.4 - 96.7 10 years 1,614 - 967 3. Walter: 161.2 - 92.1 10 years 1,612 - 921 4. ebk: 159.8 - 99.1 8 years 1,278 - 793 5. jabe: 155.1 - 103 10 years 1,551 - 1,030 6. paul carruthers: 147 - 103.5 10 years 1,470 - 1,035 7. LedZeppfan1977: 146.4 - 111.4 10 years 1,464 - 1,114
  17. Ummm, don't the Red Sox have 4 World Series titles this century? Likewise, I feel fairly blessed and lucky with my teams, even with the Raiders sucking ass for most of my adult life. Lakers: 12 NBA Championships Raiders: 3 Super Bowls Kings: 2 Stanley Cups Dodgers: 2 World Series USC Football: 6 National Championships USC Baseball: 8 National Championships
  18. Fun fact: Nick Saban and Pete Carroll are the same age.
  19. The Kings have yet to win this year as they slip down the standings.
  20. Pete Carroll is out in Seattle. redrum cheers. Could Dan Quinn be going back to Seattle? https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/news/dallas-cowboys-source-dan-quinn-moves-to-seattle-seahawks-wish-list-as-new-coach
