Keyrock Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That Saints DB is going to be sick to his stomach all off-season. So, if I told you at the beginning of the season that come conference championship Sunday the 4 QBs left standing would be: Tom Brady, Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, and Nick Foles, you'd have believed one of those names, right?

Bartimaeus Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 My friend said this year is the year of the Jaguars. He said that last year, and the year before that, too, but this year, I'm really hoping that he's right. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Bartimaeus Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 No, I think the darkest timeline was the Patriots winning 4 Super Bowls. We're way past the darkest timeline at this point...and things look like they're going to get worse before they get better. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Guard Dog Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well... crap... I don't like the Patriots but i have nothing against the Boston area as a whole. I have nothing but negative associations with the city of Philadelphia but I have nothing against (or for) the Eagles. So I just hope the game doesn't suck. I won't care who wins.

Guard Dog Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This is a pretty good (if biased, it's Deadspin after all) article about the '87 NFL Strike. I remember that pretty clearly but had forgotten some of the details. I'm going to have to check out the book the article is based on. https://deadspin.com/the-1987-nfl-players-strike-created-the-modern-nfl-1819152183 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Browns fan, I've found it hard to care about the playoffs since the '80s, though... does not compute. browns fan and michigan fan? is not what we would expect. regardless, am old enough such that we still hold fielding yost's bigotry 'gainst the school. the three things fielding yost, the son o' a confederate officer, hated most, in order, were losing, blacks and catholics. took decades for the michigan program to shake off the foulness o' yost, who is nevertheless regarded as a kinda patron saint o' michigan football.

Amentep Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Far more important than the Super Bowl, the XFL is coming back. Creation of the XFL killed NBC's Saturday night line-up at the time - I don't think I can forgive that. That cliffhanger on The Others was brutal and deserved resolution. ...

Gromnir Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 am not the tv guy amentep is, but our recollection is saturday night prime time were genuine prime in the 70s, but kinda dwindled ever since. maybe not friday night bad, but did the xfl actual displace shows which were given a real chance to survive? to keep 'bout football, am understanding why enoch, as a giants fan living in washington dc, might have negative feelings 'bout boston and philadelphia teams. even so, am gonna admit last year's game were having similar pregame appeal for us as is the current incarnation o' the SB, but am needing to recognize how the 2017 game ended up being one o' the more memorable and entertaining... evar. however, 2017 felt like an off year for SB commercials, and am knowing folks who genuine only watch the game for the commercials.

Amentep Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 What I read at the time (and have seen repeated since then) is that NBC had lost their NFL rights, so the jumped at the chance to broadcast the XFL. They broadcast XFL games primetime on Saturday (Sunday games were aired by TNN and UPN) necessitating the removal of those shows NBC had on Saturday as they had no where else in their schedule to put the additional hours (and they needed to cut shows as they were staking 50% in the XFL). Here's a variation on the same story, from James Longworth's TV Creators: Conversations with America's Top Producers of Television Drama: In what will go down in history as the mother of all programming mishaps, NBC in 2000 made a deal (against Ancier's advice) with Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation for a 50 percent ownership stake in the newly formed XFL (short for "Extreme Football League"). Put simply, the XFL was faux football, complete with wrestling style announcers (including Minnesota Governor Jesse "the Body" Ventura), scantily clad cheerleaders, and the promise of on-field body contact that would make the NFL look like a Pop Warner contest. In order to accommodation the deal, NBC jettisoned its entire Saturday-night drama line-up consisting of Profiler, Pretender and The Others, all of which had comprised a "Thrillology" that was attractive to advertisers.
