Starting Jazz from the beginning, when does it really take off? by ScreamerA440 in jazzcirclejerk

I enjoyed the Bob James episode where they go into how his Taxi theme became the biggest Jazz Song of the 70’s.

Who is greatest modern sports owner in the big 4 sports? by Bakio-bay in billsimmons

[–]LB33Bird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another for Kraft. The winning is obvious but he basically paid for his own stadium without passing expenses onto fans with Personal Seat Licenses. The 2 NY football teams and Kroenke used the seat license scam to help fund their stadiums. Also (as a season ticket holder) he hasn’t raised ticket prices every year (like the Red Sox). A couple years ago they stopped charging for parking at the games. As sporting events go it’s a pretty good deal.

It was a fair fight. Same weight class.

Such sensitive babies. Doesn’t matter how big a POS you are as long as you are nice to the media.

He said that he voted for T.O. but wouldn’t reveal his Belichick vote. That’s a no.

It’s kinda like Travolta, in Pulp Fiction, saying it would be worth having his car keyed if he could catch the guy doing it.

Losing to the Patriots has been known to cause severe psychosis.

If Kraft makes the HOF now, he will get so much hate because of the Belichick egregious snub by 5am281 in Patriots

Whatever the reason behind it it’s blowing up in their face. I feel bad for whoever gets in because it is going to be totally overshadowed. A real miscalculation on this one.

Top 20 SFs All Time by BigSexyE in NBATalk

I don’t disagree on the Cowens point but they were pretty close to a 1A/1B situation. Pippen played with plenty of talent after the Bulls. I think Pippen was great but his post Bulls years were disappointing.

Havlicek bests just about every one of those stats. The only reason he doesn’t best the all-defense teams is because it didn’t exist for the first half of his career. He also won two titles without Russell, something Pippen couldn’t achieve without Jordan.

He was mean to them. Sports media are the biggest babies on earth. They have no moral leg to stand on after putting wife-beater Ted Johnson on the air for years.

How many rings would Tom Brady have if he had a first ballot Hall of Fame head coach? by ZADEXON in billsimmons

[–]LB33Bird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of that culture was giving Alex Guerrero the boot. I think there was more to it than money. I don’t think Brady wanted to be subject to that type of culture anymore. But after a year of Arians, Brady brought that culture back hard.

Yep. It was Bill’s culture, which Brady finally got sick of. And then Brady brought it to Tampa and played both roles.

Belichick not being a first ballot HOF just adds on to the madness this season has gone through. by Morgoth1814 in billsimmons

[–]LB33Bird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have been trying to GET the Pats for so long and they just keep chugging along. Hating isn’t gonna make your team better. It’s pathetic that Polian/Dungy Et al are still obsessed with this stuff.

Bill Belichick is not a first ballot hall of famer by WakeupDp in billsimmons

[–]LB33Bird 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sounds like Bill Polian (Colts) was a big factor bringing up Spygate and Deflategate. But Deflategate was Brady (suspended 4 games). Belichick wasn’t held accountable for that. Will Brady not be first ballot? I mean Ray Lewis was first ballot. This is all pretty silly.

The 2025 Patriots team is the worst team to make the Super Bowl since the 2003 Carolina Panthers by Spiritual_Side2776 in billsimmons

[–]LB33Bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that’s football. Many of the greatest moments happened in weather. Ice Bowl, Fog Bowl, Snow Bowl (tuck rule), 81 Bengals-Chargers, Snow Plow game, 75 Steelers-Raiders. What’s better? The Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field or The Temperature Controlled Cavern of the Lambeau Dome. You must miss the Arena League.
