I cut cable once and did not miss it. I have cable now. I don't watch much TV. I got my company to give me the network channels and 15 cable channels of my choice. It included the NFL Network but not Red Zone or the Mets Channel (called SNY). I chose channels I may watch but I watch only a few. Without taxes and other charges, it is about $50. They had been charging $140+ to have channels I never watch.

Nice. It’s a monopoly in my area. We basically have a choice of either Great (Mediocre) Plains Communications or Frontier… both are meh in customer service and tv providing.

Chiefs fans better not take this era for granted. What they’re experiencing is rare and special. I did with Manning… and again with Luck… 

I think True Chiefs fans know the pain of waiting for decades for this...

 

Now think Vikings fans get an elite QB... They'd be taking a sip for every word Paul Allen says like it's Minneapolis Miracle..

I was an * when young… I thought Manning would be with us for a long time… and I was fooled into thinking the same with Luck… I’ve wisened up to realize our era of being a dynasty (if we could even call it that with just one title) is over and probably won’t happen again in my lifetime.

Not sure if you'd call it a dynasty but we had something special for several years. 

 

Peyton, Marvin, Edge, Reggie, Dallas, Adam, Brandon, Dwight and the list goes on.  

Those were some great times for sure.

And the guy on the screen right now, Tony Dungy. A very special coach.

Pride of Detroit Lions fans are talking about blatant holding that KC OL does as Patriots used to for Brady, and how refs allow it ..

 

They're not happy with their zone defense, secondary still not being good, not running the ball often.. 

 

All fans do that. We Vikings fans complained a lot about holding by the Packers OL, especially the guy we called Bacteria haha

I love Tony Dungy. He is such a class act and a great human being. He was our defensive coordinator in my early days as a Vikings fan.

Yep. Mahomes may not be the GOAT, but he’s the best player in football easy.

Here's where Mahomes stacks up against the greatest of the greatest:

 

Tom Brady - 7 SB wins, 10 SB Apps, 3 League MVP's, 5 SB MVP's

 

Joe Montana - 4 SB wins, 4 SB Apps, 2 League MVP's, 3 SB MVP's

 

Peyton Manning - 2 SB wins, 4 SB Apps, 5 League MVP's, 1 SB MVP

 

Mahomes - 2 SB wins, 3 SB Apps, 2 League MVP's, 2 SB MVP's. Pretty impressive considering he may play 10 more years. Scary actually.

Episode 8 Genes GIF by MacGruber

 

It's the Genes...

 

How do you think Mahomes would've been in professional Baseball ..? 

 

He probably would be good. His father was a relief pitcher for the Mets, IIRC. He was okay. The younger Mahomes may have been a better player.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward.
