I warmed up to it a bit years later but it's a song I never listen to.

I would like to hear the original version someday. I don't believe that the master tape was destroyed.

I think I tried listening to it a while ago and couldn't make it through the entire song.  I would like to hear the original and whatever demos of that song too; only because it's origins were from the Illusion era.

Pats fan here. I was a fan before Brady, so I’m a lifer. I was a fan even before Bledsoe so I saw some terrible teams.

Remember that 92-93 team? Holy shit.... might be the worst team in league history.

James...have you ever played tecmo super bowl? It was like the first really awesome football game. The Pats and the Colts were the worst two teams by far. They still had Steve Grogan....I like how they had Irving Fryar in the early 90s too. And a guy named Hart Lee Dykes who I don't think ever amounted to anything.

Other than a couple other guys on that defense, that whole team was filled with bench warmers that were actually starters. LOL

You can still play it online.  I remember Andre Tippett from the early 90s too (Those PATS teams had a limited amount of decent players).

The one awful Pats team that I'll always remember is the 90 (might be wrong on the year) team.  That was the one with the sexual harrasment of the female reporter. 

I honestly don't remember the 92 team, faldor or someone else can refresh my memory.

It's been so long since NE has been flat out bad.

No critcisms for This I Love being cheesyball central?  That one is super embarrassing.

It's NFL time and I thought I'd do the Garden section a favor and get some chatter started.

I'm a Bears fan and as weird as things have been lately, I am really looking forward to football. They've had the benefit of seeing the clusterfuck that MLB endured and hopefully will make the necessary adjustments so stupid things like what happened with the St. Louis Cardinals doesn't happen in the NFL.

Just curious...what everyone's team? Who you rooting for this year?

I am a masochist so I love the Chicago Bears.

Foles needs to be the starter.  Snaps/Games that Trubistsky starts will be wasted games.  Also their PK Santos isn't very good.  Otherwise they are wasting a good defense and another year of Khalil Mack's prime.

Word from camp is the defense looks great but the offense is still lacking. Will be an odd year for multiple reasons. KC & Baltimore are the teams to beat in the AFC. The NFC is more wide open.

I sent out an email to the fantasy league. Any interest in going for another year? We had a pretty competitive league last year. Time is running short though. Need to pull the trigger soon if we’re going to give it a go. Let me know.

I'm interested in another year in fantasy.

I find it difficult to handicap the AFC East.  I think that Darnold is probably the best qb but Gase may be the worst coach at maximizing offensive talent. I think Josh Allen is overrated and pretty awful.  Guys who can't complete simple passes usually don't last long.  Miami is just waiting for Tua to take over.  Fitzpatrick will probably do his usually yo-yo act.  3-4 games mixed in with 3-4 awful games as well.  Hard to know what to make of Newton in NE.  Is he healthy?  I think NE probably wins it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's any of the other 3 teams.

I'm actually pretty confident since the Titans look like one of the better teams in the AFC. They got rid of Logan Ryan (he couldn't cover past 15 yards) and added a pass catching RB.  I'm pretty sure Tannehill can replicate a performance close to 2019.  People who don't watch the Titans on a regular basis don't know how horrible Mariota really was. He was killing the offense.  The only thing that worries me is the PK situation (they stunk last year and the 2 guys in camp don't inspire confidence) and the edge rushers are still a big question mark and I'd prefer that they sign Jadaeveon Clowney.

As bad as Covid has been for Trump, I think it would be 100X worse for Biden to inherit.

I have to wonder if you've even paying attention to anything that's been happening the last 5 months? Remarkable.

Yeah, I mean there is no way in hell that Biden can handle this worse than Trump.  Sometimes I wander into this thread and wonder if I've entered some sort of bizarro world.

In the 2020s.... such a possibility isn't humorous.

I love how you guys are talking as if we're currently at some sort of normal baseline with a president who isn't incompetent on almost every level imaginable.

Correct again.  I mean the guy advocated drinking bleach/disinfectant as a possible way to kill the coronavirus.  Pence and Biden would be a step up from Trump.

I mean, masks work. We're past this. They work, the president reluctantly wore one in public (twice I think).  There shouldn't be a controversy over it, and if your just gonna google stuff about it rather than think "Hmmmmm, if I go into a McDonalds, and have a mask on, do I reduce my chances of catching this any?" or if you think we should just reopen everything and have concerts and schools & NBA games and football and goto movies and roller coasters and be back to normal then, geeez. Find other websites to read. You're getting bad intel.

Bingo.  Other countries with less wealth seem to have handled/curbed the spread of this a lot better than we have.  Cases are STILL INCREASING in this country while most other countries they seem to have stabilized.  Not real difficult to understand why.

Of course for some here, it is.

I think trump steps down soon, in August or so. This is become a train wreck. And the GOP puts in Nikki Haley. trumps only shot, is a terrible showing at the debates by Biden, and I don't think that's entirely out of question to occur, but I think its too far away & things could get much worse by then.

Ashame about Herman Cain. RIP

I just don’t see it. Trump stepping down it’s just not in the cards in my opinion.

Yeah, his ego can't take it.  It's far easier for him to lose to Biden and claim some bullshit conspiracy.  Step down now and he looks like a loser.

I'm not sure how involved Axl was

The fact that a drunk Slash was running to Axl's house in the middle of the night begging forgiveness is a fairly good indicator that Axl wasn't out of the loop.

Speaking of being out of loops, interesting that this was his claim about both the 2001 attempt at putting together a tour and the 2002 fiasco.

Various people attempting to get Axl to move forward in two crucial years without his knowledge initially?

Why on Earth would they do that? Was it because they were worried about their own position, livelihood, etc if a tophat wearing, cigarette smoking mofo comes back into the fold?

2004 or 2005 the feud was still pretty intense and I agree that there was no way he was out of the "loop."

Oh, I had totally forgotten about those lame excuses for 2001 and 2002 tours.  Amateur hour at it's best.  It doesn't even make any logical sense.  Mr detailed and controlling and meticulous Axl Rose had tours booked without his knowledge? LOL.
