Anyone watch the Steelers-Dolphins game?
What an abomination.
The Dolphins literally gave up in the 3rd quarter.
Total yards for the Dolphins in that quarter?
-20 yards
My grandma could've at least gained a yard or two.
Fourth quarter even worse just in a different way....no hurry up offense whatsoever. They were playing like they were winning 42-0.
Only highlight of the game was Aikman and Buck ranting about how unacceptable it is.
Tua earns 53 million a year to laugh/smile while he loses.
The NFL has massive problems.

Frankly the idiots at Interscope are to blame for that fiasco. Roy Thomas Baker among them. The only way a rewamped GNR could work is if it was totally different from the old band. At least Axl seems to have understood this at first. You can't have Finck and BH on stage playing Nightrain. Predictably people would just ask where the fuck is Slash.
The 2000 album would have sold more than 2008 CD if it was released. And once the shock was over they could have built on that with interesting, alternative rock n roll for years to come.
When the record company rejected it, Axl should have just gone for the reunion then and there, but understandable why he didn't considering how much he had invested.
Could he have just forced them? Say, ok you wanted an album, here is the album. Either release it or fuck off. I suppose they would have just sat on it. No wonder he felt between a rock and a hard place.
There was an easy way for Axl to get the label to release CD within a couple months.....
They would've been forced to fast track a release. Looking back it's amazing it didn't happen anyways. The songs were already in circulation. The fan base was unlucky that they circulated in the wrong hands.
It should've leaked openly on The Velvet Rope in 2003-4.

Around 99% of actors can't even properly act anymore. They're basically just playing themselves...and they're all so unlikeable.
Films don't have any personality whatsoever. Back in the day, the cities/location would pretty much be their own character in the film.
Not anymore.
Comedies are pure garbage and have been for years. They're not funny.
I really wish we had some of the old comedians alive right now to see what we've become. Imagine the likes of Don Rickles, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, etc being brought back from the dead and thrust into this dystopic Idiocracy.
We have one of the greats still alive...
Mel Brooks. Unfortunately he's probably too scared of being cancelled or simply too old to give a shit.
I said it years ago....a much younger Mel Brooks would mock all this insanity.

Supergirl starring a male actor

If someone wants to watch ESPN, they're not really watching ESPN. They're watching Disney.
The slop Americans eat was made by one of three companies.
It's obscene and this shit has gone on long enough.
#14 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 11 days ago
absolutely fascinating how bad this tour is selling so far. most stadiums are still completely empty.
They've run the reunion completely into the ground. All they care about is money....fast money.
They aren't willing to do what other major acts do....go away.
Anyone who wants to see them has already went to a show. They offer nothing new to entice crowds to come back for another fix. This 1-2 song shit which only promotes the tour for a couple days just doesn't cut it.
When they do these nostalgia tours, they can't even do it right. They released the UYI anniversary box set a year late, never mentioned it, and just kept the same boring show going non stop.
That should've been a tour revolving around performing UYI with the main hits thrown in.
They don't bother because they don't care.
The Stones know how to do all this shit properly. Maybe they could hire Mick Jagger's great grandkids nanny as manager.

This is how you reach people today . It’s almost like they are stuck in the 20th century.
Not unbelievable that Axl still lives in a 90s bubble. Nobody to challenge him, nobody to teach him new things. Everybody just tip toeing while he continues to do the same things he did 30 years ago.
Absolutely.
The reunion along with the bubble allows him to pretend it's 1991 every night on stage and any time a "new" song is discussed....he gets to pretend it's the early chapter of the CD saga when millions were interested in the project.
Just a complete insulation from reality.
But Team Brazil and Axl had brilliant marketing plan !
Delay the songs while they're touring and release them 5 months before their next tour date !
Also make sure you use the shit mix job from a guy (Caram) whose been gone from the band's employment for 2 years !
Before we're all dead I wish they would allow someone like Guthrie to remix all the tracks and put them on one disc.
It would be great to hear all this music worked on by an actual professional.
Unfortunately they don't want fans hearing any of their material remixed. They even killed the UYI remix which fans have wanted for eons.
#16 Re: Guns N' Roses » Children of the Revolution » 11 days ago
Still can't understand why this has never been released or even suggested to be. Like it's completely forgotten. One of the few "legit" CD songs in my opinion.
It was either abandoned in that 99-00 period due to the negative reactions to both OMG and Silkworms or possibly still around with one of the updated song titles. They sure loved changing song titles all the time... probably out of boredom.

I don't really like it. Glad it finally came out though.

Seems they wanted it to be a secret track on the vinyl, but found they couldn't fit it on without compromising the quality.
Didn't want to compromise the quality? The quality was terrible!
I guess it could've been worse!
Where did it leak?
The original Monsters and The General leaked here.

Bat poop crazy week....
Chiefs officially knocked out of the playoffs...and the cherry on top of their shit sundae is Mahomes going down for a year with a torn ACL.
Throw me in with the group who believes we're witnessing the end of an era....Chiefs dynasty is over. The only question is which team is going to step into the breech and replace them on the pedestal.
AFC is now wide open.
Bengals knocked out of playoff contention.... showing how weak this division is right now. They shouldn't have been in contention at this point.
If the Ravens are going to go on a run....the time is NOW.
The Patriots faced a major test....and lost. Quickly taking a 21-0 lead and then falling apart is not a good sign heading towards the playoffs. They still have a shot at the division and #1 seed....can't lose any more.
Broncos continue to look impressive while pretty much being ignored by everyone. They're reminding me of the 98 Falcons.
First team to clinch a playoff spot in the AFC.
Chargers continue to win but not a lot of consistency. They could go into the playoffs winning a wild card in a blowout....or lose 30-3.
The Philip Rivers saga would be so much more interesting if Indiana Jones had went down a month ago when Colts were #1. It would've allowed Rivers a few losses to get his 'sea legs'. Instead he's in a situation that allows few mistakes and requires the Jaguars and Texans to go on losing streaks.
He played ok under the circumstances but holy shit.... he's slow as molasses and clearly can't throw deep or accurately. It was 99% screen passes.
Rams first team to clinch a playoff spot in the NFC.
Another massive blow....Micah Parsons out for a year with a torn ACL. Huge implications for the playoffs....many expected a deep run into the playoffs....maybe SB. The Bears are now in the driver's seat in that division.
Lions now highly unlikely to make the playoffs. Only chance is if Green Bay collapses after the Micah injury and Lions win the last 3....the final game against Chicago.
The Bucs are in full blown collapse mode. One of the top NFC teams the first half of the season and one of the worst in the second. Their only prayer is for the Panthers to keep losing.
Neither team deserves to go to the playoffs....but will get in by default. I say it every year but the NFL needs to update the playoffs structure.....allow the top teams in.... regardless of division.
They should've fixed this decades ago.
Cowboys pretty much out of the playoffs. They showed some promise earlier this season but did what the Cowboys usually do. Eagles just need one win to take the division.
The playoff bracket if the season ended today....
Some killer matchups there.
#19 Re: The Garden » Rob Reiner - Legendary Director Killed at Home With Wife » 11 days ago
Yeah this is shocking.
What an amazing career. Stand By Me one of the best films ever.
The amount of hate online celebrating this, cause someone Trump didn't like died is pretty appalling.
This is just how the US is now. The West has amused itself to death and is now wallowing in a big tech dystopic Idiocracy fueled by social media and a hyper partisan culture war.....which is really a distraction for the billionaires to plunder and loot all the resources while the unwashed masses...or parasites as Musk and Thiel call them ...cheer on their own imminent demise.
Yes it's disgusting for Trump to go down such a path ...but the other side does the exact same thing all the time.
In the US....any time there is a mass shooting, both sides have to wait until they know who the shooter voted for before weighing in on the tragedy. They can't risk saying something bad about someone from their own team...even if that person just shot a room full of children.
If God forbid one side prematurely goes and comments negatively towards a mass shooter and then they find out he/she was on their team, massive amounts of posts immediately get removed....simply memory holed.
It's disgusting. Other than the main news when such massacres occur, I no longer read/watch any of the coverage. Doing so just reminds you of how broken our society is now and IMO.... it's beyond repair.

Longtime Colts fan, dating back to #4 who coaches the other LA team.
That brings back memories. That 95 team was one catch away from being the greatest Cinderella team in league history. Their ascent was so unlikely...but it happened. I didn't like the Colts or Harbaugh but I was glued to the TV.
I wish it had happened. Colts vs Cowboys would've been much better than what we got. That Cowboys team was just begging to be upset.
God I miss the real NFL.
This past off-season I watched a hefty portion of the 1998-99 season. God that Jets team was killer. Everyone looks back on that season and dream of the Vikings making the Superbowl. That Jets team was just as deserving.
They just couldn't stop that Broncos machine.
