In your defense Chicago rules except the parts that don't and really people who don't live there shouldn't talk about things they don't know. It'd be like me complaining about Southies even though I've never been to Boston.
Everything I know about Southie comes from Good Will Hunting and now that I'm scoping out apartments in Boston, I find you can't get any decent 2BR in Southie for less than $3500/month. The movies are wrong.

This has nothing to do with football by the way.

The first time I went to Minneapolis I couldn't believe how much St. Paul looked like south side Chicago and how much Minneapolis looked like the Prince planet from Star Wars Episode II that ended up on the cutting room floor.

It was 1 degree and people were out in the streets celebrating the weather.

I lived in Southie 10 years ago and it’s basically unrecognizable to me now. The rate and scope of gentrification has been bananas. Even that little time ago it was a lot more “townie shithole” than luxury condos and trendy restaurants. My wife and I had a perfectly nice 1BR for like $900/mo.

Kind of a Bill Snyder type thing I think. He retired, the guy they replaced him with was just loving awful and he felt like he should come back. Unlike Snyder he decided to hang it up when he didn't make them awesome again right away.

He retired in '83 but his replacement, Les Steckel, was a huge bust and the Vikings had their worst record in team history (3-13). The Vikings fired Steckel, then convinced Grant to come back. Grant had thought he missed the game in his one year off, but really didn't and subsequently retired for good after '85.

He's learned half the lessons of Aaron Rodgers there. The second half would be making insane reads and throws while on the run like that.

I live in L.A. I think I have the right to say my city has the worst traffic. I used to live in Denver, and Denver low-key also has the worst traffic. Especially when you are trying to drive down I25 during rush hour and there's a rockies game on that night. You may as well just rent a hotel room for the night instead of trying to make that commute.


In conclusion, gently caress the Rockies. They aren't even good, I don't know why Coloradoans like that stupid team.

Biking is like Aaron Rodgers. It's cool and good until you die by getting hit by a large object.

Also I bike around in Chicago all the time you just gotta be alert.

I've been hit by cars while biking defensively as gently caress. As in "oh, that car is stopped at a red light and I have a walk signal, it's safe to cross" and then the driver is all "NOT SO loving FAST BITCH, I'M GOING TO SUDDENLY SLAM ON THE ACCELERATOR WITHOUT EVEN loving LOOKING IN FRONT OF ME TO SEE IF THE ROAD IS CLEAR BECAUSE I'M LITERALLY A MORON"

Denverites bandwagon the Rockies when they are good but when they're not, they just like to hang out and drink at a ballpark. Summer evenings in Denver have tremendous weather. I-25 has gotten pretty bad.

Anyway, I finally got around to rewatching SEA-DEN. Things I noticed:

-The Broncos had a lot of success in two TE sets, with Butt and Heuerman on the field.
-The tackle play seems much improved from last year, though maybe Seattle's edge rushers are just bad.
-I would expect to see Lindsay and Freeman split carries close to evenly, with Booker a distant third. Lindsay looked as good in preseason as he did against Seattle. But the Broncos ran exactly one play in the red zone so it's hard to know who gets the carries there.
-The secondary did a lot of talking to each other after giving up receptions to the TE. Still a quality group but not dominant anymore.
-Not at all impressed with Seattle's corners. All three Keenum picks were to safeties; the Broncos receivers got open pretty easily.
-The Broncos used a couple of RPOs and that goofy "pitch forward to the WR" end-around play, but waited until they were down 24-20 early in the fourth to use them. I'm guessing that's all they've managed to practice so far.

Yeah their inability to cover the TE is a big concern for me. I don't know how good Sissly really is but he looked like Shannon Sharpe out there.

The Chiefs will put up points for sure. They're going to have to double Hill and that will open it up for Kelce.

I feels really good to be able to suggest without a hint of irony and only a moderate dose of homerism to suggest that doubling Hill isn't enough.

Chubb got burned on the 66 yarder and beat on the TD, so just have to hope he gets better with experience. Simmons is the only one who's done well so far covering TEs so I'm not sure why he isn't locked on them.

Usually a horse can be brought round by using a good running mate.

Carr probably needs a bullet and a drive to the glue factory to be useful.

Once upon a time I passed a station wagon on the right and turned right off onto a side street on my boss French 3-speed. Only I noticed that the engine noise of the car I'd passed was getting louder, not quieter. I looked left, and there she was. I got my left foot on the crossbar and jumped before she hit me. Based on the actual damage, I;d be limping today, her front right fender would have passed right through where my knee would have been.

I had her license plate written down before she realized she'd actually hit a (an unmanned) bicycle. She paid up for repairs you betcha.
