thank god we signed jonnu smith. clearly the reason KC ran through miami in the first round was because we didn't have him in an offense that doesn't use the TE worth a shit.

miami is apparently only going to play offense, letting wilkins walk, cutting xavien howard and jerome baker. they are still 16million over the cap and haven't signed tua to what i'm sure will be 45+ million per year and further wrecking this cap situation. Thank god Waddle needs signed next year, when i'm sure they will cut chubb and take on another 18 million in dead cap, and tyreek, ramsey, and armstead combine for 75 million in salary (without restructuring)

i predict they will draft OL or maybe a wilkins replacement DL in the first. but i wouldn't rule out something truly fubar like another RB or CB, or some position that is flashy, but won't improve the chances of winning.  somehow this team hedged its future on winning this year without having a real plan in place on what they were going to do in order to win.  

probably looking at a rough 2 -3 year stretch here, then a full reboot when whatever contract Tua signs has like 2 years left. at least we scored 70 on denver this year...

never. i just realized like 3 weeks ago that my 15 year old daughter watches with them on.... she did not like my line of questioning when i discovered this.

this is weird, but as i've aged it's changed several times. 15 years ago, it was booze, ciggys, and being alone that got me through. then when my mom died like 6 years ago, it was being with my family that helped, taking care of mom's estate meant spending hours with my brother and oldest sister, the 2 siblings i've always gotten along with the best and coincidentally mom and dad put us 3 in charge of everything. but taking care of that stuff, having dinner with them or phone calls with them really helped. i haven't experienced anything truly dark since mom, but when i was horribly unhappy with work in late '22 and debating where my next career move was going, it was golf, geeking out over the differences of different luxury watches, educating my kids about watches and guns and why i was happy to hand some of them down to them was what really gave me clarity and lead me to the answer that was always the answer as to what i needed career/life wise.


long way of saying that every situation may require a little different remedy. my dad dying so suddenly, when i was working 14 on 14 off and partying sent me down the booze and cigs path, mom's death and long drawn out sickness sent me down the family path, and the first time in my life hating what i was doing for 10 hours a day sent me down a nerdy, analytical path to get through it.

With the added "benefit" that old asshole is potentially showing signs of adding dementia to what he brings to the table. At the least, he has history of the Alzheimer's in his family with his dad (and there are hereditary aspects to that disease) and he's turning into quite the gaffe machine in recent times with things like confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi in talking about Jan. 6 security stuff, getting Jeb and former president George Bush Jr. mixed up and apparently thinking a key to winning the Revolutionary War involved controlling the airports.

Makes me worry that another Trump term would just be four more years of an addled old guy who needs handlers with his hands on the reins...with the minor exception of this one being much angrier and more vindictive and WAY more likely to tell any handlers to GFY while doing whatever his whims at the time are telling him.

but if the old asshole picks a good running mate, we could deploy the 25th amendment and get a decent person in the chair. the other side will give us the goofy giggler in that spot and i'd rather have dementia sitting there.

Tested positive for Covid in late September.  It was mild with the worst part being the sinus issues, which lasted like a month. 

yeah mine was very mild. no fever this time, only the sore throat and stuffy nose. The only reason i know it was covid was my mother in law tested positive when she went back to work after the holiday.

j_crazy replied to "Playoff Predictions" at 02:17 pm

my AFC prediction is going to be pretty close. If i would have known about denver's contract issues with russel wilson, i would have made  that pick cleveland and moved houston in at 7. I don't know why i ever thought atlanta would be sucdessful. 

j_crazy replied to "Have you avoided whatever is going around?" at 02:09 pm

covid and a sinus infection. literally everyone in my family and 2/3 of my extended family have had it since christmas.

OK is overrun with weed stores, it's offputting. this is also a medical only state. I cannot imagine what it'll be like in ohio unless there is some heavy regulation on distribution of weed.

i used hulu up until about 6 years ago. as much as i like YTTV, the hulu interface i thought was better at the time. i've been on YTTV so long that i'd probably hate hulu if i switched back. only dealbreaker for me would be if i wanted sunday ticket (i do) or not outside of that, the only channel i miss from hulu is History which is not available on YTTV.

Yeah, well the Dolphins aren't too shabby either. That is the one offense I wouldn't want the Browns to have to face in the playoffs. Will be interested to see how their game goes against Baltimore (obviously rooting for the Fins).

from experience, the Ravens will stomp the fins. doesn't seem to matter who the players or the coaches are, with 1 or 2 exceptions in my memory (last year's shootout being 1) the ravens always seem to crush miami. i think back to a 60-7 game (or something like that) with brian flores. and some other utter beatdowns in the early 2010's. 


Miami's kryptonite is teams that pressure the QB up the middle. so the Eagles, Jets, Bills, Chiefs, and Commanders will give them trouble. If Miami can get a run game going against those teams and keep it where they have to be honest up the middle, maybe then  they can run away from those teams. but time will tell, 


Also, miami needs phillips and ramsey back ASAP. they are so susceptible to passes it's crazy. they need to score 45 points against teams with competent offenses otherwise they'll lose with this defense as it's currently constructed.

Sounds like a ton of optimism that Aaron Rodgers will be able to return before the end of the season. With that injury he'd be a medical miracle.

10000% chance he is making semi weekly trips to TJ for stem cells like the rest of Rogan's rich buddies. if it works this effectively i'd like to think we see some more mainstream acceptance in the US, but i'm not hopeful any of the zealots would ever budge on that. 


everything the Jets are doing right now is impressive.

i like it. if i could get broughton's brand anywhere outside of marietta, i'd probably have it all the time. i don't really like many other brands. as weird as that sounds.

j_crazy replied to "Your worst day as a sports fan?" at 04:11 pm

the 62-7 dolphins beat down to the jags stands out. Marino's last game and i think they had like 7 turnovers including 1 pick six and 1 fumble. jay fielder came in and looked like Joe Namath against that team in the second half.

41-14 to florida is another that i get serious anxiety thinking about.

j_crazy replied to "2023 NFL Regular Season" at 10:19 am

i'm torn between my love for rodgers, my hate for the jets, over confidence of new yorkers, and never wanting to see anyone get hurt like that. overall it sucks, but i think a-rod did enough confidence building with wilson that he might end up figuring it out. if he's in the building for this season while he rehabs, it'll really solidify if wilson is ever going to be a guy or not.


that said. the line on that team is god awful, and since they won't get the 1st rounder from the packers next year you almost think they will have to go big in free agency to fix it.
