Great game. Great championship game.
Type of match you can say neither team deserved to lose. Nearly every play was excellent bar the kicking.
Pats went down defending their title like great champions.
Think Philly deserved it a little more tho, great performance of heart, fearlessness & ambition. They seemed to get the rub of the green, what little luck there was was on their side. The bounce they got on Brady’s spill.
Made up for Philadelphia fans.
When Graham got his hand to cause Brady to spill it was amazing. There’d been so much hype about that potential showdown & then it looked like Philly were never going to get close to him, & maybe even lose the game on that very play. Fuck, there were so many amazing moments. Definitely far better than last year’s game, which was fucking brilliant itself! It was just so absorbing, absolute incredible ebb & flow. Great game.

Nope. Still let down by this season.
Totally.
Actually, it was disastrous/a shitshow but sure the spectacle, & to a lesser degree the drama, delivered. Any logic or sense was abandoned/expedited in favour of bullshit. A case of less haste more speed....
#93 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 397 weeks ago
For all it's flaws it is still great. Unlike CD, which we wanted to be great and actually sucks.
Haha! This is one of my favourite posts on the internet!

Re: spoilers
Don’t do it to yourselves. Avoid them if you possibly can. Can only lead to sadness/disappointment imo.

Yeah but I see this as a bit of a chicken-egg thing.
Like you take a guy who is hooked on drugs, then take away from him an achievement most could only dream of and would be nearly impossible to replicate, so he falls further into a slump and takes decades to quit the habit. Then the fact that he stayed in a slump is used to justify talking his life away from him. But would it have gone that way if things were different?
I feel the same about Y2k. They use it as a joke now how we all prepared for it and then nothing happened, but did nothing happen because of the preparations?
Re: y2k thing, wtf? Thats random.
Re: Popcorn, I think there’s truth in both pasnow & monkeys ideas. Either way of slicing it, no matter how hard the others did or didn’t try to help him, his loss was insurmountable to GnR. He was the heir to Bonzo & Moon, & the last of his kind.
In an alternate universe Axl & co are aware enough to the value of Steven. It’s too late for us unfortunately, Axl was too narrow minded, & Slash too high & spineless, to rescue him & the only/real GnR.
#96 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses tour to continue through 2017(and beyond) » 397 weeks ago
Yea, that’s all well & good... but Axl has never adequately explained what happened to Gun N’ Roses.
Seems like he arrived in the Paradise City & dismissed the concerns of the rest of us.. which is fair enough, & probably adequately explains what happened. Keep the machine going.
Separate dressing rooms etc is bullshit throwback courting controversy, & an area where Axl & reality/common sense align. The “maturity”/“we were all young” doesn’t wash. Where was that during the meltdown in Dublin ‘08 when he was a 45 year old baby?? Is that meant to excuse the past 20-30 years? Is there really nothing more than arrested development at play? I preferred the old, late as fuck, neurotic Axl tbh.. this Axl fails to satisfy. There’s no intrigue.. maybe that was his play/act back then..??

2006 Axl was 4 years too late and 10 years too early.
Haha I love it!
It’s funny cause it’s true.

Tried watching it once, gave up immediately.
#99 Re: The Garden » Football » 397 weeks ago
Fans of successful teams don’t know what it means to win a championship. They take it for granted. One Philly win would be worth the last 3-4 pats wins.
I know the pats’ history & it’s only recently success has come their way after decades of hurt. You would think that’d make them empathetic, but they’re spoiled by success like all big teams, fuck them.
52 years + the potential reaction of Philly fans means there’s only one team to support.

Besides, Axl’s professionalism is beyond question & has, ironically, unquestionably sullied his legacy. Guy has been phoning in 3hour shows for the past 20years. His spirit has long been squashed by medication, lawyers or “professionalism”. He used to be a beacon & a role model, now he’s just a boring old fart like Elton john or Eddie vedder or stone Gossard or James or Kirk or lars. He’s lost his rock n roll attitude sadly. Maybe it still resides in him somewhere, that’s the only hope we have left. Otherwise if he’s been totally fucked then we’re all totally fucked. We’re hopeless!
The last rock star is probably/maybe already dead inside.
Apex twin is probably able to calculate precisely when the magic broke. Maybe it was around the time when Bucket was lost. I think apex posited the theory of the general helpedturning it into a well oiled touring machine as opposed to a project. But as to who is ultimately to blame well its prob down to a few factors.
Fact is of the matter is we’ve all lost a hero who is currently masquerading, presenting a facsimile. Sad but true..
We’ll always have that life time of Axl ‘85/6-‘02/3. He was heroic then. Full of bullshit professionalism now. A betrayal & an embarrassment to GnR is what he is these days.
