Oh no! I dont support that initiative!

Advanced Reader goals. Currently reading up on mermaids, which, is much more apropos than The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. It's really the Curious Case of Benjamin Button going on upinhurr.

Oh, I'm sure. It was really a rhetorical question.

I agree. Everyone is a bandwagon fan originally, if you stick with them you're good. Just like it doesn't matter how you met your wife as long as you stick around through the good and bad.

I have stuck with my teams since I was a kid. Not sure that's a good thing but formative years and all. Thus...Go Reds, Cowboys, Lakers. Adopted Red Wings when I lived there. Ya wouldn't have a strong affiliation with any hockey team growing up in TN when I was a kid.

False nostalgia imo

They've never been consistently great. You only get a Prince performance one time. Then you might get a decently memorable one every 5 years or so. The rest are meh. But probably good for some demos.

At least it isn't the 80s super bowl halftimes, those were truly laughable.

What changed the stakes was the show In Loving Color. They ran a show specifically designed to run at halftime and it drew 77 million viewers. The next Super Bowl booked Michael Jackson.

You don't think Brady is the GOAT with SEVEN titles?

88% say he's the best QB of all-time. For context, compare that to MJ's goat basketball player vote of 58%. His position atop the NFL greats is undeniable and a more sizable gap than in other sports, though Mahomes has a chance to chip away.

Mahomes, with 3 at 28 years old, is just 1 year behind TB with 3 at 27.

Question will be if he can keep up the pace without Reid/Kelce at some point and have longevity.

Where is this 88% vote you're seeing? and MJ's 58% was from a poll from CURRENT players. Add everyone else involved and MJ is like at 80%.

i was reading that the 49ers are likely to give him a 2.898 contract to keep their right to match…. that’s a significant raise even if he doesn’t have a huge market for his skills.

Other teams can offer him contracts if 49ers want to keep Jennings they would have to match.

If they think price is too steep would get a compensation pick from team Jennings signs with..

i was referring to the qualifying offer that the 49ers have to give him to make him a restricted free agent… that is the minimal that he will make.

Deboer hasn't won like Saban/Kirby or put dudes in the league like Saban/Kirby. I'm trying to think of one coach that recruited well and didn't do both.

saban at LSU….. his first real class was number 2 in the nation…. that was before saban made a name for himself…. Kirby at georgia had the number 3 class in his first real class… number 1 in his second year as coach….. both were before they put guys in the league as a head coach…. Urban was probably similar.

Like I said you can sell a vision... for a while. If any of those mentioned would not have produced then they would not have been able to recruit squat. Schmoozing and smoke may work for a while but only go so far, ask Butch.

I did not watched but heard they hit a ton of threes and bottled us up defensively. That is usually enough to get beat. It is hard winning on the road. I don't care if we win the regular season i only care if we get better for post season play.
