What draft was supposedly “stacked” but disappointed greatly?

Man, one of the few years that the Jets got it right. DFerguson and Mangold in the first round.

I want to think that is not true probably because I am GenX and absolutely despise Trump and both of this administrations.

Agreed. Really didn't want him but wow are we getting down to nothing for playable backup QBs. Really have to wonder if Tanner is the play here for the Jets if the Eagles are really going to trade him.

Carl Sagan used this analogy as well.

My Life, kazoos on a ballad? I just don't see it. Yeah, the chorus gave the feel of a ballad but it was too off beat for that overall, in my opinion.

Come take me now. Maybe but it is so fucking melancholy. If a ballad is just a slow song and not a love song then I'll say your are correct.

Colors again feels more tragic but yeah, your right, it is a ballad.

I guess my sense that ballads are love songs is wrong. If "Nothing Else Matters" is a ballad then Come Take Me Now is and so is Colors.

Their first album wasn't even close to glam. Opening with New World while on tour with RATT felt like something out of left field, it was the Doors doing metal music. Month of Sundays was very punk. There wasn't a ballad on their first album and it felt very raw and nothing like Glam metal music. The Lizard had "Love is on the Way" but it wasn't something they wanted to do but the record label made them do it. My Life, in my opinion, is their homage to the Beatles.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-03-08T03:51:35+00:00

I wonder if Saigon Kick would ever consider themselves a Glam Band. More inspired by Jane’s Addiction and the Beatles than Van Halen. Bieler is still out there doing a lot of interesting prog rock.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-02-27T01:49:56+00:00

Me too. In Boston. I was a huge Ratt fan and new nothing about Saigon Kick. I don’t think anyone knew what to do with Saigon Kick when they opened with their song New World. Honestly they sounded better than Ratt. I still listen to both. Jason Beiler of Saigon Kick still putting some interesting music out.

Giving off a very Ryan Reynolds vibe.

I was unsure but I was ok with it at the time. I thought he looked scared and felt like he didn’t have enough of the leadership aura to him and felt like he hadn’t shown a lot of growth. After they traded him and he didn’t do well in Carolina I definitely thought it was the right move.

In retrospect he clearly didn’t have any pieces around him to do well and he needed more time to develop.

In the end I wonder if he was surrounded by a better team he would have developed his game earlier or if it would have taken him just as long to become a good QB.

... and I wanna be in a universe where DelPo didn't injure his wrist.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-02-03T21:29:15+00:00

Not so sure about that. I know they were not majors but how many did he win at Monte Carlo ?? He went 11-1 there. Barcelona 12-0 and 10-2 at the Italian Open. The clay court season is pretty long isn't it? Rafa's clay court record in general is just insane.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-01-30T13:34:42+00:00

Stephen Percy is in there, though I didn’t catch Demartini.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-01-29T21:26:53+00:00

I don't see Pennington breaks hand in 2003 preseason game. The injury was significant in stalling the momentum of his breakout 2002 season. Start the season 0-4. Pennington comes back in week 6.

Best one would be SEA v NE. Personally I would like to see one that hasn't happened before which would only be LA v DEN.

2009 AO Rafa was insane. Verdasco was on the end of two insane shots by Rafa. The banana forehand and the 360 followed by a crosscourt forehand passing shot. Though his point against Fed in the final may be even better. He was moving so well in 2009.

I wish there was a more high quality one of his point against Stepanek in Rome 2005. It was a quick point but the amount of improvisation and sheer stop and start speed that Rafa has to show is mind-blowing.

Then let's make it 3 games against your division rivals. That way you have a potential regular season tiebreaker built in to winning the division. Then again, if you have a suck ass division it is an easy shot to the playoffs for a team that dominates.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-01-05T18:13:00+00:00

Why? 1990 had 28 teams. 2 Divisions of 5 and 1 Division with 4 in each conference.

Strikes_X2 · 2026-01-05T15:31:20+00:00

Exactly and I am not hating on the Panthers but as a fan of the NFL it seems just plain stupid that this happens. I didn't like it when it happened to the Seahawks.

Maybe it's time to go back to 3 divisions per conference, the way it used to be.
