Re: The 2023 WGA / SAG-AFTRA strike and other Labor Discussion
Strike continues tomorrow and I ran out of bourbon. I'm having so many flashbacks to Covid times, where I eventually got laid off and ended up taking one of those low paying jobs they're striking about -- at one point I was working 8-6, making half of what I make now in the high paying field of day ...

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend
Considering Josh Allen fakes slides and embraces contact, I have no idea how the Steelers can affectively commit to tackling him without it turning into a penalty, but if a defenseless tackler is engaged, just hit him wherever.

Re: Black Monday 2024
The guy was a great linebacker. No clue about a coach. And would the younger Belichick stay on as defensive coordinator? And then on offense, Mayo only has experience coaching with McDaniels and O'Brien. If you continue with that it's the same system without the most important piece -- JV Belichick...

Great, the Patriots are going to lose another draft pick. That said, it would be stupid for Kraft not to interview a bunch of people -- he needs to hear fresh perspectives...and get a head start on finding a coach after he fires Mayo.

I think I'm going insane because Romo and the "expert" ref analyst did not mention once that he didn't have control until he was out of bounds, and then when the refs said that exactly, Romo and expert were still focussing on something else.
