The butterfly thing always makes for an interesting alt reality. Do the rhino fart one next

Whatever it wants. Who's to argue?
I wanted more story time with JMT, if a butterfly's tiny flap can cause an alt reality story just imagine the exponential tale a rhino's fart might generate.

He doesn't stray too far from Pats stories but when he does (like The Who story), it's very entertaining.

That's the kind of insightful observation that keeps me coming back here on the daily. You don't get that kind of in depth rumination anywhere else.

@jmt57 stories are the best. He does the best story times precisely because he knows the subject matter that's gonna sell here. Man knows his audience.

I did eventually get to see The Who perform, though by that time Keith Moon had passed away.

But hey, at least we did get inside the Boston Garden, and witness those two songs before Moon keeled over!

Talk about going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in a split second. . . On the other hand, I should be thankful that ladder actually held firm. Boston Garden was ancient and rickety even back then, we were lucky it didn't break and send us tumbling to our death.


And that was two more songs than I ever got to see Led Zeppelin perform, even though I actually did have tickets for them.

Sure, let a bunch of longhair misfits inside the Boston garden to escape the cold. What could go wrong?

No good deed goes unpunished.

Meanwhile these days the new Mrs. Jmt57 gleeflully reminds me on occasion how she did see Led Zep in her youth, and I never did.


In consecutive years, denied with what would have been two great concerts. I thought I was cursed.

Based on how much I was making working after school at the time, a pair of tickets equaled about eight hours of work, or four hours if I went without a date.

Went to the last page of this thread to read any new NFL news. Sadly disappointed.

No. I try not to have felons on my team if I can help it.

Brother, it’s fantasy football, probably on app headed by a company with a ****load of felons as higher-ups, making money off teams that have felons covering for felons, fielding many felons, in a sport where every single instance of contact would otherwise be considered a brutal felony if not in the sport.

All that to say, I don’t know if you can help it lmao

NFL would be wise to flex that Pats @ Bucs game to 4:25 pm. Not a huge fan of Sunday night games, but that would be nice too. The Draker Mayefield game.

I could see that. They’d be swapping it for AZ @ SEA, not a total clinker but not as broadly interesting either.

Can't believe the cameras missed this live! AI is pretty amazing.

Anybody hear about the weird situation with KC rookie LT Josh Simmons?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Haven't heard a thing.
Between the Patella and this....hmmm
Glad we stayed put and took Will....who has the same arm length.

You mean Josh Simmons THE steal of the draft? That Josh Simmons? The one on Sam's footie PJ's?
Can't be anything up with that guy, it'd break Sam's heart
(And OFC I hope he and his are well and in good health)

 

[sb1]

If their GM is involved - maybe a Reserve/Left Squad designation for Simmons?

The Bills are a broken contender and it’s really difficult to ignore the reason why

In back-to-back losses, including Monday vs. the Falcons, the once-explosive Bills offense has been completely zapped.

www.nytimes.com

The once explosive Bills offense has been completely zapped. The can’t-be-stopped rushing attack has been bottled up twice in a row. And it’s left the Bills out of answers against two teams who look primed to be in the playoff mix by season’s end.

And when you begin to analyze where it all went wrong, it’s hard to look anywhere else but the production, or lack thereof, from the boundary receivers.

The Falcons were challenging the Bills to beat them down the field and with their receivers outside the numbers. They went after Allen with blitzes all night, daring the offense to find the answer down the field.

Spoiler alert: The Bills couldn’t and didn’t.

The Bills can talk about how much they love their wide receivers all they want, but they are actively telling us differently by how they deployed their offensive personnel when they needed to string drives together in the second half.

Before the Bills fell behind 24-14, effectively ending the game, they were on the field for a total of 25 offensive plays, including penalties. They were in 22 personnel — meaning one receiver, one running back, one fullback and two tight ends — on 56 percent of those plays. They were averse to 11 personnel, because it took their best chance of moving the ball off the field.

Bills have glaring need as trade deadline nears and an idea for James Cook: Bye week thoughts

Plus, the Bills are in a precarious situation at cornerback.

www.nytimes.com

The Bills aren’t winning in the intermediate range, and they aren’t challenging defenses consistently enough deep down the field. Without another piece that defenses have to account for, it allows opponents to creep into the box against the run and play the matchup with little concern that the Bills’ receivers will burn the weak spot of their defense. The same thing happened to the Bills in 2024, and they sent a third-round pick to get Amari Cooper. It was an imperfect fit, given he was best suited at Keon Coleman’s position and the Bills had plenty of depth there, and it worsened as Cooper suffered an injury and never became more than a bit player in the offense. Just because it went poorly last time shouldn’t persuade the Bills to stay away from a receiver again in a trade. If anything, the Bills should be more willing to put a more worthwhile draft pick into a deal to get an impact player with term on their deal and youth.

https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2025/10/15/joe-brady-bills-coach-linked-to-penn-state-tennessee-jobs/86709384007/

One of the Buffalo Bills' most talented and controversial coaches may be in the mix for two high-profile jobs in the NFL and college football.

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady's name has been mentioned in head coach vacancies at the Tennessee Titans and Penn State.

Brady has been with the Bills since 2022, first as a quarterbacks coach, then interim offensive coordinator before being named officially to that job in January 2024. He is credited with reinvigorating the Bills offense in 2024 when the Bills became the first team in NFL history to score 30+ rushing and 30+ receiving touchdowns. QB Josh Allen was named NFL MVP after that season.

Brady has never been a head coach at the college or pro levels.

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz at USA Today thinks Brady could be a good fit in Tennessee, where the Titans fired Brian Callahan (1-5 in 2024, 4-19 overall).

Meanwhile, Brady is being mentioned to fill the coaching vacancy at Penn State after the school fired James Franklin after 12 years.

Chris Vasile, a betting analyst at Covers, considered the Bills coach the odds-on favorite at +150.

​

Brady has been taking heat of late from Bills fans who are unhappy with the offense's struggles during Buffalo's current two-game skid.

After scoring 30+ points in each of their first four games, the Bills scored 34 combined points in their last two games. Plus, Brady keeps calling the same reverse play in the last three games, and its failed each time.

Head coach Sean McDermott called his offense "too cute" after Bills lost to the New England Patriots Oct. 5.

Dan Campbell: Officials said illegal motion call on Jared Goff TD catch came from New York

Referee Craig Wrolstad said otherwise after the game.

www.nbcsports.com

I had suspected this in the other games thread. Since when does the nfl call in standard procedural penalties that officials miss? How many times do they miss an obvious false start, delay of game,etcand it’s never called in?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I dunno, the RT of KC moves early pretty much every play.

I dunno, the RT of KC moves early pretty much every play.

And their LT (no matter who it is) has lined up 3 feet behind the LOS for the past 5 years!
