Ha! One of my favorite movies of all time.

Right up there with Dune, Brazil, Liquid Sky and Wild at Heart.

Acid isn’t for everybody, though…

RIP, Eastern Cougars. While I think it would be neat to still have large cats here in CT (especially with how many deer we now have everywhere), the thought of having to worry about an 80 lb feline jumping out of a tree onto my back as I bring my recyclables to the curb is terrifying.

Maybe if I had a Bowie Knife or a six shooter with me, I’d feel better, but I’m sure the record shows that even before we eradicated the big cats from New England, there were few to zero attacks of cougars on humans.

I’m conficted here…

Billy, in the first post you stated you have a current health situation. Are you OK? If you don’t want to discuss, I totally understand, but just know that you have lots of folks here pulling for you.

Love, Matt

My department is being audited on Super Bowl Monday. I have to be there by 8:30AM for the opening session. I was going to stay home in Newtown and then leave very early in the morning Monday, but now the forecast is for PM rain followed by freezing conditions overnight.

I may drive up to North Shore Sunday afternoon to avoid a messy 3 hr commute Monday morning.

That means I may watch the Super Bowl in a bar full of Pats fans. If things get out of hand, I can always retreat to my hotel room…

I agree we should sign Watkins, even if it is the Franchise tag.

I think he will be more on the same page with Goff with a full off season / training camp. Plus, I think he’s a good influence on the younger kids.

Plus, I think he wants to be here and can erupt as the #1 receiver we haven’t had in forever and at the same time make Gurley that much more effective.

“Pet Crocodile”

Who would make a pet of a creature that by its nature is a remorseless killing machine?
Oh, wait, I have a cat. Never mind.

Ha! ZN, our posts must have crossed.

If and when the Eagles lose in this year’s playoff’s, they are going to blame the Rams.

I converse with a group of Philly fans on a weekly basis. They work for a large multi-national and the discussion centers around electronic components for use in satellites, but we do at times discuss sports, especially after Wentz’ injury (they know I’m a Rams fan).

Their overall feeling was something like that was just bound to happen, because, well, it’s the Eagles. They have had their hearts broken, dare I say it, even more than Ram’s fans. At least in the last 30 years. I say that because they have had some very good teams that just never made it over the hump to win a Super Bowl.

The Rams added to their misery in the past; remember the “Fog Bowl”? And we just so happened to be the team they were playing when there QB got KO’d.

They have got the Mel Brooks “Hope for the best, expect the worst” mentality. I understand why they think the Rams are tanking to get another shot at them again; it’s just in their make-up. I’m sure most of them have already written off a chance to get to the Super Bowl, now they are looking for the justification.

I want a smack down in the first half. Then take the starters our. Whether or not we win is not important; the fat that we beat them down in the 1st half will set the tone for next year (when the 9ers may be our toughest division rival).

3rd Seed? I’m so in. I was hoping / dreaming of a Wild Card this year. The fact that we are getting a home playoff game puts them well ahead of where I thought we’d be.

House money from here on out.

Winter Solstice until Summer Solstice: 365 / 2. So 182.5 days.

On a bright note, the days will get longer from now until then…

I’ve always liked Chris Long. Great motor; strip sack was karma; never should have dumped him like we did.

I agree next week is a MUST WIN.

I disagree on the TJ call; he CAN’T do that shit and allow the refs the option to throw that flag. I think we lost the game right there and then.

BTW, I blame Fisher and Williams for these lapses in control. You don’t see the Patriots D doing this type of crap (Gronk is another story).

Just found this last night. Very heartfelt.
