    The Falcons may very well have more talent on paper, but the Pats have the coaching and the “been there, done that” edge.

    I think we’re going to see a carbon copy of last year with experience winning out over raw talent.

    I feel good for Chris Long.

    Well deserved.

    Under the God
    Tin Machine

    Skin dance back at the condo
    Skin heads getting to school
    Beating on Blacks with a baseball bat
    Racism back in rule
    White trash picking up Nazi flags
    While you was gone, there was war
    This is the West, get used to it
    They put a swastika over the door
    Under the God, under the God
    Ten steps over the crazy crazy
    Watchin’ their heads in the toilet bowl
    Don’t see supremacist hate
    Right wing dicks in their boiler suits
    Picking out who to annihilate
    Toxic jungle of Uzi trails
    Tribesmen just wouldn’t live here
    Fascist flare is fashion cool
    Well, you’re dead, you just ain’t buried, yet
    Under the God, under the God
    Oh yeah
    Under the God, under The God
    As the walls came tumbling down
    So, the secrets that we shared
    I believed you by the palace gates
    Now the savage days are here
    Under the God
    Yeah, yeah
    Mmm, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Under the God, under the God
    One step over the red line
    Under the God, under the God
    One step into the crazy, crazy
    Crazy eyed man with a shot gun
    Hot headed creep with a knife
    Love and peace and harmony
    Love you could cult with a life
    Under the God, under the God
    Raging down, raging down, down yeah
    Under the God, under the God, oh

    Thanks for posting.

    I enjoyed that! SC was certainly a unique talent.

    I’m thinking we’ll see a Pats / Falcons Super Bowl.

    I just don’t see the Steelers being able to beat NE in NE. Then again, I sure didn’t see the Packers beating the Cowboys in Big D.

    Then as always, his football instincts were spot on…

    We’re obviously going to go through some growing pains here, but it was time to upset the apple cart.

    IMO, the talent on this team has gotten a lot better, but the results weren’t translating to the W/L.

    Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the coaching staff shakes out.

    You know why he retired before the 2006 season? Because he had some dealings with Linehan and didn’t think he was ready to be a leader.

    Really? I thought it was because his knees were shot…

    I was concerned that McVey was too young, but the hiring of WP set my mind at ease.

    I’m hoping that they are catching a wave at the crest; young, energetic HC who relates and gets the most out of his young core, wily old vets coordinating the X’s and O’s.

    Not sure what SNS stands for. Our application isn’t classified. We were told to go and find a proton beam source. There were several to choose from, including UC Davis, but since we have the hardware in northern MA, MGH was very attractive.

    My biggest regret is that my son made 2nd trumpet in the CT Western Regional and will be playing on Saturday, 1-14-17 after rehearsing / learning 1-13 and 1-14 with master level musicians.

    Also, the day the actual exposure is supposed to take place is the same day my daughter is leaving for a semester abroad. She is flying out of JFK, and I was going to drive her there, but now that falls to my wife, who HATES driving in the NYC area.

    Oh, and it also my wife’s birthday on Friday, 1-13.

    I guess I’m kind of screwed, here.

    This game is killing me.

    Growing up where I did, the Giants were always my “second team” because they were my friends team.

    I actually yelled at the TV on a few of those plays where Rogers had waaay too much time.

    I hope the Rams go after Cruz this offseason.

    Actually, I am going to Massachusetts General Hospital.

    They have a proton beam therapy center. During off hours, they rent out beam time to companies like mine who need to test hardware under a proton environment.

    We are building hardware for the (name deleted) satellites.

    It sounds interesting, but once you get there and get set up and start the 8 hour test protocol, it is like watching paint dry.

    Alles klar, Herr Kommissar.

    Kidding, of course. I remember the chaos and vitriol on other boards when things got out of hand. You are fully within your mod rights to tamp down when you see things flaring up.

    This is the last day of my extended holiday shutdown, and I’m starting the new year with an extended trip. It should be good and I will get a close up view of a particle accelerator, which will be cool (and thankfully it will be irradiating electronics, not me). As a rule, I don’t post from my business computer, but I do read, so I’ll be here in spirit.

    Go Giants!

    I think I heard the reason the Ryan boys were let go was so that Buffalo could lock up Lynn as their next HC (not sure of the logic, but that’s what I think I heard on WFAN).

    Interesting little side story: My 2014 Mazda 6 has an HD radio. For whatever reason, I get the BEST AM reception that I ever have gotten. I can listen to WFAN (660 kHz) from NYC well into Massachusetts, usually to Exit 10 or even 9. Also, I had to go to Syracuse right before Christmas and I listened to WFAN past Binghampton, almost to Cortland. Don’t know why or how, I doubt there is an HD-AM, maybe just a better antenna.

    Anyway, bring on Trish the Dish!

    The thing inherently better about base 10 is most of us have 10 fingers.

    Plus, money is base 10.

    OK, since nobody guessed, I was thinking that Trump fits the term “crybully” to a T.

    and, crybully is easier to say than “thin skinned winy little bitch”.

    I like it.

    My bad.

    I mistook Waufle for Bourreau.

    Simple mistake, only one letter difference (OL coach vs. DL coach)…

    Hey Billy.

    I believe I get what you are saying.

    I think WV will back me up here when I say, we all have to be very careful on how we evaluate what the hell is going on around us.

    We all live in our own reality tunnels, made by our initial imprinting and reinforced by our social programming.

    The way our language is structured causes us to make and receive statements that are absolute: You are wrong. I am right. This is all bullshit. It should be, I believe you are wrong, I think I am right.

    I know I am preaching to the choir. Thanks for coming back and good luck with the novel.

    Best,
    Matt

    I’m guessing here, but is your concern that the EPA wants to replace Ozone depleting compounds with non depleting compounds that are flammable?

    Are you against Lysol (damned flammable from my own dumb shit teen aged experiments…)?

    ? What paragraph, in particular are you referring to?

    Where does the idea that HRC wanted to start a war with Russia come from?

    Doesn’t everyone remember MAD? It still holds water.

    Any “war” between us is going to be of the cold variety, and is still, and always has been ongoing.

    My fear is Trump is going to work with Russia where his economic interests and theirs align. I feel for our allies…

    Maybe I’m drinking the Kool-aid down here in Tri-State. I do listen to WFAN from NYC whenever I’m out and about and there is a lot of faith in Spags and the thought that Eli can do what he has done before in Green Bay.

    Personally, I’d like to see the Giants win because I think they are the only team in the NFC that can beat the Cowboys and, dare I say it, the Pats.
