  1. I'm sure you do think that, but I really don't know. Why anyone would get upset over cutaway shots during an NFL broadcast is a mystery to me. It's a cutaway shot. In terms of directing a telecast, it's a time killer. No one gets pissed when it's Fireman Ed or some shirtless, morbidly obese at an NFL game. If people find cutaways of Taylor Swift off putting, they may be taking the whole thing a little too seriously. FWIW, I haven't found it difficult at all to avoid the whole affair. Maybe that's why I find the blow back to be absurd. I don't know. It's cotton candy. It's harmless. I don't see it as an example of anything other than that. It's just a football telecast. No more, no less.
  2. Tell me you've never seen Terry Bradshaw play without telling me you've never seen Terry Bradshaw play. I was there and he was much more than "Brad Johnson but on a team full of HOFers."
  3. In Bradshaw's defense, he played in an era when this stuff was common. If someone did any of that to Mahomes, they'd probably be suspended for life.
  4. Can someone explain to me why using Taylor Swift in cutaway shots is the worst thing to happen to the NFL since...well, ever?
  5. Salt Lake has the AAA Bees, but they're moving to suburb called South Jordan after this season.
  6. He'd retire before he'd go back to being an assistant.
  7. Give me Dollar Store Montana and the 49ers. San Francisco.
  8. It's excellent. I had to stop watching after the first two. If I hadn't, I would have been up until 4am watching it.
  9. It's focusing on all the right things to bring in new fans. I'd be all over a full season of this.
  10. Anyone else watching NASCAR: Full Speed on Netflix? I'm curious to see what NASCAR fans think of it. FWIW, I just watched the first episode and thought it was great.
  11. The price was right is my guess. Probably not a full time sponsor either.
  12. That actually happened? I figured the Lt. Colonel was just embellishing the Bears ineptitude.
  13. I'll share my favorite one so far. There are people saying Taylor Swift is a Pentagon psyop which would be hilarious except I think these people actually believe it. We're doomed as a society. Enjoy the chaos.
  14. I don't know about that, but I'm sure it didn't make them any better at football. Also, college was way cheaper and more valuable back then.
  15. In the early 80s, my buddies and I were watching a Browns game and one of the announcers said that the Browns had the most college graduates of any team in the NFL. It was something like 80% of the team. We thought it was really cool that the Browns were "smarter" than all the other teams. All those degrees didn't do all on the field, but Browns fans will take any win they can get.
  16. I much prefer the old Browns to the new version. We lost our team and the fans somehow lost 20 football IQ points in the process.
  17. The Browns weren't team futility before they moved to Baltimore. In the Super Bowl era through the move in 1995, they made the playoffs in '67, '68, '69, '71, '72, '80, '82, '85, '86, '87, '88, '89, and '94., and they only had nine losing seasons in that span. They made the conference championship game in '68, '69, '86, '87, and '89. Point being, the Browns are not a good example of being awful forever before they achieved "crapping the bed" level. They'd been crapping the bed all along which might be even worse.
  18. For those old enough... This is not a knock against you or your point, but why is it that we automatically give young people a pass on not knowing sports history? It wouldn't kill them to learn that Houston had a much worse collapse in the 1992 playoffs than the Lions did yesterday. Or that the Browns existed and were breaking the hearts of their fans in the playoffs well before 1999. If we make a reference that was "before their time" they can look it up and learn something. This concludes my get off my lawn speech.
  19. Went into the weekend 10-0 in playoff picks. Thanks to the Lions, I'm now 11-1.
