If you’ve not seen any of Bob Weir and the Wolfpack from the Radio City Music Hall it’s really worth looking up. He kept the music alive and evolving right up until the end.

Was just logging in to say that's a pretty solid final 4 based on what I know. Monkey being the one I know least about.

Yeah. Both Purdy and Brady. Both found an entire generation apart. That sounds like a plan.

Improving the OL and WR positions should be addressed. But the results may not yield the results some people are hoping for.

That will just make the run game and pass protection better and the passing game better to some extent. Then you get mired at .500 because you still don't have your QB and now it will be much more difficult for you to draft one.

That's why NFL teams near the top of the draft address the QB first while the opportunity is there and then build the team around their QB instead of the other way around.

I get that this year is what most consider a weak QB class and this year may not be the year to do that.

But better than actually using those first two draft picks, if they can trade down to stock up for next years draft tom get a QB it will be a much better investment long term.

Once again, the results of both, which are the jobs they get paid to do, yielded very similar, poor results. I know we all have "thoughts, feelings and beliefs" about things that may or may not have went on behind the scenes but there is zero evidence to substantiate any of that.

Bottom line. Both had poor results. One was given a free pass and was was sent packing. I understand that people have to search for anything they can grab hold of to make that make sense. Otherwise it would make no sense at all. Which seems to be a pattern we've been witnessing for many years now.

As it should be. Nobody wants to be reduced to their only option being under a constant threat of blackmail or extortion.

It's pretty simple. It's a cover up. They don't want transparency or to be held accountable. Period.

Yeah - this is why this tariff threat doesn't make any sense. Both the US and EU are advanced economies that have similar export and import profiles. They have a lot of trade - but mostly because they are both massive economies rather than particularly relying on each other. The US imports a bit more from the EU than vice versa. The EU just closed up a huge free trade deal with South America, and trade with China is going way up due to US tariffs on China (china has to sell those consumer goods that they make somewhere).

Inflation is currently lower in the EU than in the US (2.1% in Europe for November 2025, vs. 2.7% in the US). The Euro has gotten much stronger against the dollar (1 EUR is now worth $1.16 instead of $1.04 when Trump took office). It's a really bad time for the US to try a trade war against the EU.

After watching the replay in slow motion I thought the int. call was correct as well.

I was rooting for the Broncos. And yes, I know the history well because I watched every minute of it in real time. But at this time of the year I root for the underdogs because we are always the underdog. I love a good story where the team not expected to win comes through. A Cinderella story of sorts.

Let's face it, Allen is arguably the best QB in the NFL and James Cook probably the best RB in the NFL. And I also know that the Broncos were favored by like 1 to 2 points but how many really thought they would win that game?

Bo Nix is only in his second season and just really started coming into his own this year. Those are the kind of kids I root for. Nix led the Denver Broncos to an NFL-record
12 regular-season comeback wins in the 2025 season. That kind of grit and determination is something you just can't teach.

But after breaking a bone in his ankle his dream for this season has ended. I really wanted him to have the opportunity to see how it played out.

Got it - fake bombings.

Daman - MG says your bombings are fake.

Maybe you two just continue this convo amongst yourselves?

Site moving fast today.

Yesterday, when things got bogged down, I tried clearing cache. I'm no techie, it was just an impulse. Seemed to clear things up but could have just been coincidence. I'll keep an eye on this unless anyone knows it's a waste of time...

Do you mean after every legitimate chance of a franchise QB had already been overlooked by Berry? Are you trying to say out of that entire draft class that Gabriele was at the top of Stefanski's list? I would certainly hope that's not your suggestion here.

I also understand that it is the job of the GM with his extensive scouting department and analytics team to draft players. Not the HC. I'm not going to engage in a game of pass that buck. Each man has their own job and responsibilities. Drafting players is not is not in Stefanski's job description. If it were there would be no need for Berry in the first place. All they would need is someone to negotiate the contracts and manage the salary cap of the players the HC selects.

That's not how any of this works.

Unfortunately way too often.

Grifters of a feather flock together.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced that he is demanding the immediate turnover of Alaska to Canada for national security reasons.

There is no competitive balance within the constraints of the pay structure. That couldn't be any more obvious.

What you have is a bunch of billionaires who appear not to want that balance or players fighting against that balance. Possibly both. I don't know enough about the situation to say.

There are examples like the NFL who have salary caps. That may not be totally fair to owners in smaller markets but it's as close as they have been able to come.

Either owners don't want that in MLB or the players union doesn't.

Anything for you, darling.

Patrick Mahomes is my all time favorite QB. Love watching him play. He does what most other QB's cannot do. At the same time I usually root for his team to lose... Figure that one out. lol

It is tolerable and not a big deal except for drinking that liquid.

GM has the right recipe. If I had that it would have been way better.

It is not a good two days but it has to be done. So you get through it.

Same for me. As you know, I'm in one of those communities now, While I engage in very small-scale agriculture, I sell all of my stuff locally so these things don't affect me much, but I see it all around me. Even the local beef ranchers who also sell everything local are hit by it all because the input costs on everything are higher. Fertilizer, lime, diesel, seed... those things are the pillars of an operation, so even if you can sell everything locally, your cost-to-consumer is going to be higher because you still have a mortgage and tractor payments to make in addition to all those other inputs. Fertilizer for 100 acres can easily hit $15k-$20k depending on your soil type and the target crop.... then it takes a fair bit of diesel to run the tractor to till, seed, and spread that fertilizer. It's tough to make those costs back.

I’m shocked 😮 to hear this!!! Absolutely stunned 😳!!!!!

I think you're wayyyyyy of base.

Germany, UK, Nordic countries... Most of Europe are far far left of where the Democrats are. None of them are communist or kissing cousins to communism.
