The NFL Thread

[Tony Towner]

HT show reminded me of my childhood and it was great.

You...Arsehole

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I was thinking more you lucky young bastard

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

My musical childhood I don't think Eminem was born.

EDIT - I lie. He is actually only six months younger than me. That has really surprised me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was born in October 1972. I was born in the May.

 

[Tony Towner]

He was born in October 1972. I was born in the May.

All the best people were (October '72)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

May 1972? I crept in by about half an hour. My dad God bless his socks was really pissed off that the pubs were shut when I could finally be bothered to say hello.

Man, I didn't realize he was already in his thirties by 2002.

No way is he in his 60's!

I totally get the cultural significance of Compton, but maybe it's an age thing because I really didn't recognise a single tune.

Dre - I wouldn't expect to know any of his/NWA tunes.
Mary J Blige - I assumed she must have recorded something famous and "mainstream". I didn't hear it yesterday.
Eminem - Unless he raps about the real slim shady I am lost.
50 Cent & Kendrick Lamar - One well known song between them was apparently too much to ask for.
Snoop - Come on, music is not what he is famous for. Not even remotely. It's drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, celebrity guest appearances, wine and Martha Stewart.

Why no Ice Cube?

You're breaking my heart, Denny.

I would highly recommend To Pimp A Butterfly (by Kendrick Lamar) for any here who aren't opposed to hip-hop but haven't delved into it. It is a masterpiece record.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

You're breaking my heart, Denny.

On Valentines Day, too.

Flores has a defensive assistant coach role in Pittsburgh, glad his action hasn't completely cost him his career

 

[WsWolf]

Rather have Flores as DC than Teryl Austin but very happy with it either way.

 

[Alan]

That's a coup for Pittsburgh.

 

[Tony Towner]

Packers and Saints have 'home' games at Spurs. Jags at Wembley, Tampa in Munich

 

[Alan]

The NFL in Germany. Wild times.

Any of y'all have access to old NFL Europe paraphernalia you don't care about anymore?

 

[Tony Towner]

Seems Calvin Ridley's personal issues weren't mental health related. He's suspended for at least another season for betting on games

 

[Alan]

Through a certain lens, gambling is a mental health issue.

Not sure how generous we wanna be in this case.

 

[Tony Towner]

According to the man himself apparently not

 

[Jack Regan]

Aaron Rodgers is signing a four year $200 million extension to stay with the Packers.
