Who the hell is out there that's better than Stafford that the Lions could reasonably get?

Well, you could gamble on a free agent at the end of the season or draft someone. But if you don't pay him he's also going to go seek money from a team that would.

So, nobody. Your premise is a farce. The Lions paid Stafford because he's worth it.

It's ok to admit you have stockholm syndrome. We understand, we've all been there.

Me: "Like who?"

You know who's better than Stafford?

Rodgers, Brady, Big Ben, maybe Flacco.

There, better QBs. They exist, but you gotta find him first. Problem is, are you going to let Stafford walk to draft a potential lottery ticket or are you going lock him down? Or are you going to try your hand on a FA back up that is also an unknown. No one saw Brady exploding but here we are.

Well, this feels pretty bad, but at least it's not as hard as it is for Packers fans, who have to wake up every day knowing that they have a bad defensive coordinator.



I can't imagine what that feels like.

Counterpoint: Rodgers beat the Bengals for the first time ever this year.

Nah, that doesn't matter. It's how well ground the flour is. I use unbleached flour for my bread, and it's still considered white.

I still hate Philly from the 4th and 26 game. But I was 100% cheering for them tonight and I'm thrilled they won.

It reminded me of the time the Pats were 18-0, Packers just lost to the Giants, and everyone I talked to said gently caress THE PATRIOTS.

Nah, Tipsy Cow is still owned by Patrick O'Halloran (who owns Lombardino's) with Sue Kirtan and Michael Banas. They are opening up a second location in Sun Prairie, though.

But yeah, the service at Tipsy Cow has always been terrible ever since the day it opened; last I heard they have a poo poo ton of front-of-house turnover including management.

That's either a sign of bad management on the upper end, an "any warm body" policy for hiring, or both.

I'm going to guess based on this bad management cost them the good workers, causing them to adopt "ok, did they apply and can they work the hours?" policy of hiring.

hester is the best player all time at his position so not much to say about HOF credentials

Forte, though..
blargh trying again



got all of faulk's and martin's careers, not all of smith's (whatever). cutoffs of 1k rushing attempts, 10k yards from scrimmage

i dont think HOF for forte based on that (terrell davis had 8887 yards from scrimmage but the insane peak + titles)

he's basically Tiki barber with a lower yard per carry

What that's telling me is Frank Gore is a hall of famer.
