  1. How did you feel about Foreigner? I hated them back in the day. Still never did warm up to them that much.
  2. Panthers have been playing a lot better since they dumped Rhule and traded McCaffery away.
  3. Fuck him. Let him go Antonio Brown on somebody else's time.
  4. Naturally, the fudge just lays the fuck down for the fecals. Shit is all rigged.
  5. Mike White vs Nathan Peterman could be the quarterback dual for the ages. Everyone with Sunday Ticket will be tuning into that one.
  6. I just saw this headline error at Rotoworld (NBC Sports Edge) that made me chuckle, because it is probably also accurate. Bears QB Nathan Peterman will start in Week 12 against the Bears.
  7. Polls should be for entertainment purposes only. They should not matter otherwise. Stupid committee bullshit should not, either, which is why a playoff that is not based on conference championships is always going to be bullshit.
  8. I think OBJ would be good if it is a short term deal. Getting him for next season also will help with some potential transition/depth issues. But I don't expect him to be any kind of secret weapon that dominates games, he'll just be another capable receiver that come add to the offense. But yeah, there is potential for him being a disruptive diva when things don't go his way, so they don't need to be chained to him with a stupidass contract for several years.
  9. I couldn't understand what the big deal was with Frampton, either. I hated his blurry album cover, and I hated the goofy talk box gimmick thing. Came to appreciate him much more later when I gave other songs a listen. But all you hear back then are the overplayed hits, so it's easy to get sick of them in a hurry when people were blasting it on their 8-track players everywhere, same two songs repeated endlessly.
  10. I grew up in a small town that was a few years behind the rest of the world, but I was music conscious at a very early age, especially with my oldest brother having a nice collection of early hard rock. It's the only good thing I got out of that "relationship."
  11. I almost hate to admit, but I was a borderline Boston-hater when they first arrived on the scene. I got so sick of hearing the same two or three songs that all the popular kids played that pretty much sounded the same. It took years for it to sink in and take hold. Now I really dig those first two albums, even a lot of the third one. Some really good songwriting and great rock guitar riffage. The nasally guitar tone is a bit cheesy, but it was what it was back in the day.
  12. Here's a Players series Strat with humbuckers at Amazon, $598. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CVJ1KMQ?tag=slickdeals09-20&ascsubtag=cf5f70f86d1511edbd51be70f872a18d0INT&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1&pldnSite=1
  13. Still fighting the urge to buy the LPB tele. I don't need it. I have too much stuff taking up space. I already have an American Tele and a Squire Bullet Tele that I haven't touched in a while. that money would be better spent toward photo stuff I use or something more useful. But it's a Lake Placid Tele. Musiciansfriend is having a stupid deal of the HOUR, predictably. But it looks like they have changed it so you can't see the past deals of the hour with a chance to still buy them at the stupid deal price.
  14. Take the neck off and hang in up in a sunny window for a while. It will probably get darker.
  15. Getting Gallup going finally seems like a good idea. Hopefully a breakout game toward making him a legit number 2.
  16. It will remain to be seen if even Mike White can survive the shitty Jets curse.
  17. I'm not sure if that deal is active from the link or not, probably is. If you go to the website and check out their "black friday deals" the LP Tele and Strat are 649. But I was just shopping around at Adorama. I clicked on the CEO Picks 2022 banner at the top and started scrolling through the items. The same LP Tele is listed there now at $499! These sumbitches are really trying to hook me. If it weren't Lake Placid blue I probably wouldn't give a shit, but I sort of have a sentimental attachment. I once had a Mexico Tele I bought from a friend, had bastardized pickups and a wood screw in the front horn to replace the spun out strap button that used to be there. But I really dug the look and feel of it. My buddy asked to buy it back at a small profit, and he needed it for a country gig, he was a damn good player who would actually play the shit out of it, so I let it go. Didn't really want to sell it, but I was glad to get it back to him. He ended up pawning it later on, wish he had sold it back to me first. I've kinda wanted a Tele that color ever since, but with regular pickups.
  18. They used Madden as an excuse, but they don't even include the Turdey leg (pre-turducken) ceremony at the end.
  19. NFL Network Thanksgiving tribute to Madden by running an old game, so of course totally at random they pick the shitty Chan Gailey era Cowboys getting blown out by the Vikings. Fuck you, Goodell.
  20. The Jets officially begin their assault on the AFC with former Cowboys quarterback Mike White at the helm.
  21. They might need him more in the starting rotation.
  22. HEB should have just opened Luby's in the deli section.
  23. I agree with the first part. I don't know about the Fox thing. I get Fox stuff, including the local Fox station, so it must be a local affiliate thing, or some other Fox channel I don't watch. And if I didn't have the local Fox station on DTV I would just flip over to the TV antenna, solved. Gotta have the guide and easy ability to channel surf and flip back between channels quickly. And I gotta have the Rangers games in the Spring to kill time. But I need it to be about half the price, so I don't know what the future holds. I can't stream for shit here, other than an occasional peak that eats the hell out of the only internet I have available.
