Bears dodged a MASSIVE bullet. That could've ended the season. Unfortunately...they're still in trouble. If he's out longer than a week, they're gonna need to find a QB to temporarily steer the ship. Can't place the team in the hands of someone so inexperienced.
Jayden Daniels with the horrific injury....AGAIN.
This is a major problem. If it can happen twice, it can happen 10 times. It happened when all he was doing was falling down and trying to brace for it.
It's not going away. I've seen people say it may be time to move on from him. Not sure it's time for that yet but something has to be done. Put him on IR, have him build himself up...his arms are like twigs...have the medical experts design a brace specifically for him, and maybe change his style of play....
Then come back next season. If they bring him back this season, it'll be a repeat of last season... he'll keep going down.
Raiders quietly shaping up to be the surprise team this year. My money is still on the Jets though.
Bucs season may be in the early stages of imploding. That division is a mess as it is...this allows teams to go to shit and possibly recover in the final weeks of the season....sneaking into the playoffs with an 8-9 or 7-10 record.
The Chiefs are officially back...and IMO will make mincemeat out of that division early.
The Chargers....0-2....are now entering probably the most difficult schedule in the league weeks 3-10. Here are their opponents during that stretch....
Bills
Seahawks
Broncos
Chiefs
Rams
Texans
Ravens
That is INSANE. They could easily be 0-9 heading into week 11.
Harbaugh may not survive the season unscathed.
Lions are in big trouble. It's become obvious that Ben Johnson was the brains of that operation. If the Lions fail to make the playoffs again...do they move on from Campbell? Move on from Goff?
IMO their Super Bowl window has been painted shut.
Eagles are quietly chugging along....
49ers are looking impressive right now. They're reminding me of that 1989-90 Niners team that came out of the gates swinging.
Texans have to get their shit together. Yeah they started 0-2 last year but they may not repeat that success this time. I really like Stroud but he is regressing.
Ravens lost a game they should've won. Probably going to be another topsy turvy season.
Bengals also quietly having a good run. I fucking hate them and I'll be praying for their usual nosedive.
Dallas going to be interesting.

Wow...I don't remember you doing a GNR tribute thing. I know a couple other members did eons ago but don't remember this.
My memory is shot.

For the first time in 20 years, I can predict a Bears-Ravens Super Bowl and not get laughed at.
Unfortunately for the Bears, they'll have the same problem as last year. You can't keep putting up 40-50 points a week and keep the machine turning all season long. The defense has to come through consistently. Ben Johnson wants them to be the highest scoring offense ever.
That's aiming a bit high....
Have you seen the Chargers schedule yet? That week 3-10 gauntlet is fucking insane....ALL playoff teams.
People jumped the gun on the Broncos...they looked terrible. I said last year they were a bit reminiscent of the 98 Falcons(so were the Pats). It looks like this year they'll be reminiscent of the 99 Falcons.
Also looks like the Chiefs are back. Damn.
Other than division games, Lions have a pretty soft schedule. I can see why some are predicting they'll win the division...but I think they'll be in the cellar of the division.
I'm predicting the Jets as this year's one year wonder. They may not go to the playoffs...but they'll make some noise like the Colts did last year.
I also think the Giants are gonna make some waves this year. I'll go out on a limb and say they win the division.
I'm still laughing at JJ McCarthy on the depth chart at #3. Vikings are going to have a wacky season.
Not sure why so many believe the Cowboys are going to have a great year. I predict the usual trajectory....mediocre with Prescott injured mid season.
The NFC South is going to be even uglier than it was last season.
So much for the Rams being "the dream team"....
#24 Re: Guns N' Roses » Quick Song=Cuban Skies? » 6 weeks ago
Unfortunately we may never get the full story on Oklahoma much less get to hear the damn thing.
There's still an unreleased Beatles song, Hendrix, Floyd, Doors...and these are bands that actually give info and regularly release stuff for fans.
Axl should've been grilled on it during the forum chats in 2008...instead no one said anything after he mentioned the title change to Berlin.
He also should've been grilled on the odd story about the original TIL being destroyed. What else was destroyed?
I've said it many times...those chats were a massive wasted opportunity. He was willing to sit there for hours discussing this shit...and half the questions were nothing more than shit posting.
The song has never been mentioned again by anyone.
Yes the HOB thing was/is a good sign but they had played instrumentals before and after...its inclusion doesn't guarantee vocals. This MIGHT be why Riad was played instead.
#25 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 7 weeks ago
Do you think he actually has disdain toward us?
During the Chinese years? Absolutely.
Now? No.
I think he's basically onstage reliving 1991-93 like he's still on top of the world. He can mention something ridiculous like that song and in his mind...for that very moment anyway ...the entire crowd knows of it...is salivating to know more. Of course the reality is that no one gives a shit and never will.
The crowd is there to hear Jungle, SCOM, PC, and NR....and pretend it's 1991-93 again for 3 hours.
The fan base is finally where he always wanted them to be.

Anyone watching the new season of Dark Side of the Ring?
It's been pretty good so far. Big Bossman and The Renegade the best episodes so far.
While I never liked Jeff Jarrett and cared nothing about TNA, I actually enjoyed his episodes. You get the entire history in one show.
#27 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 8 weeks ago
Axl said something about ‘cornshucker’ which i think was a direct shot at me - something about a song that he knew nothing about. I had a good laugh.
It's amazing when he makes little comments like this.
The song got an official iTunes release out of the blue in 2007.
He knew nothing about it.
Embarrassing.
There was really no point in mentioning it. You and about two other people in the crowd know the song.

Gotta keep those covers though...can't risk dying from boredom onstage.
Well can you blame them after hearing the "new" songs ?
Actually....yes.
Releasing it... regardless of its quality...makes everything move quicker.
The label wants a reunion so they can keep selling boat loads of copies of AFD?
Release the album.
The label wants Axl to move on from these songs and start working on something else?
Release the album.
The label wants Axl to go solo and see where that goes?
Release the album.
There's no situation where rejecting the album works in their favor. In fact .. it's extremely reckless to continue to sit on it.
They would've realized quickly that nothing new is being created after shit canning a release. It's literally the same songs with him adding a few vocals here and there to already recorded instrumentals.
Unfortunately for both sides...it's now getting to the period where there's no one competent to negotiate a release TB didn't know its elbow from its asshole and Merck was too busy reading forum drama and emailing Madison and Chinese Blues every day to care about anything else.
Once the project gets introduced to Irving Azoff, it's already over. It's all about dumping the beer coaster into the hands of a company dumb enough to pay the tab....which wound up being Best Buy.
Every time both the label and Axl came upon a fork in the road, they went the wrong way.
#29 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 10 weeks ago
The circus factor of the 2002 band could have worked. It clearly separated old from new. In contrast the 2012 band just looked like a pale version of the old band.
He spent years building GNR back up from scratch and put a lot of soul and heart into it then he just gets cock blocked by the suits at Interscope. Must have been embarrassing.
Here's the problem with 2001-2....
It only works if there's an album in stores. Anything less dooms it to the failure it became.
He had the media kissing his ass after Vegas/Rio. This is when the label should've stood up and taken notice...the world wants him back. Just release the album he handed you...warts and all. It'll all sort itself out anyways.
Best case scenario 2001-2...
It sells anywhere from 2 to 4 million copies depending on the quality of singles and if one can hit the mainstream. The tour lasts until 2003-4. The follow up likely released around that timeframe.
This allows for Axls initial dream scenario mentioned onstage at the China show...album, tour, and then album.
Worst case scenario 2001-2
Their fears are correct, it's not up to snuff, public rejects it and album is DOA. The tour implodes just like it would in 2002...maybe even quicker. With CD now out of the way, there's simply NOTHING for him and his minions to hang over the heads of fans or the label. Any attempt to hype a followup would only bring laughter. One by one the band members bail leaving Axl by himself. This probably leads to a reunion in 2004-5...maybe even sooner which would mean Velvet Revolver never takes off.
It is still absolutely mind boggling how they had the nerve to not only appear but be the main act at the VMAs without an album or at least a song in stores. This was still the era where live performances are promoting albums/singles. Why were they even there...and why waste the mainstream debut of new GNR on THIS?
Post UYI release, did management ever make a wise decision?!?
