Nots sure, but my daughter is suddenly into Fleetwood Mac lately (she's a huge fan of Florence and the Machine so I guess their fans are now into Fleetwood Mac, I guess), so it's been on in the car a lot - especially the "Rumors" album. Holy crap, I never realized how many hits they had ! Just that album alone had like 5, 6 major hits, plus combine that all of Stevie Nicks', Lindsay Buckingham's solo stuff, and there's a ton of material out there. My wife say's to me while we're driving today : "I just realized Fleetwood Mac has been around us our whole lives, constantly in the background, wherever we've been" ... so true. Soundtrack of our lives. And I'm not even a big fan of them, but wow ... they sure have a TON of material out there.

FYI, I'm into a lot weirder stuff, music-wise.

Oh yeah, getting to your original point...looks like you're right !

That guy on the longboard with the cranberry juice turned all the kids on to Fleetwood Mac

Puss34 is still infatuated with me I see.

I’m pretty sure penalties are tracked by time so your analogy is pretty (frank)ing stupid.

Hits are not tracked by anything other than a guy who goes oh I think I saw a hit. Tally 1 for him.

When two guys battle in the corner and one guy falls that is sometimes tracked as a hit and other times not, again subjective.

Do you now understand puss34 or do I need to speak even more slowly for you to actually understand, well anything.

Really though. We can all butt heads here and disagree, call each other names, but end of the day, most of us could probably have a beer together. I'd even have a beer with Homie and be able to keep it civil.

Not a person on here would be able to get out of a face-to-face with Fitz without punching him square in the face. I would put money on it.

- 3rd GM's the charm


I could have a beer with anyone on here. Would love to buy shots for beady and fitz.

Everyone has an opinion. No one is right. No one is wrong. We all love this team (I think). I come here to hear everyone’s opinion.

The arguments are just a bonus.

It's not about right and wrong with Fitz. If it was an issue of right and wrong or differing opinions, people would be able to have a conversation with him.

They guy is socially obtuse. He honestly might be on the spectrum.

I stopped listening to country music about 3 years ago. And I used to be a huge country music guy.

I grew up with a guy that spewed off every stat to win an argument. We knew he was wrong but had no way to check it (pre google). Many fights ensued. As we go older we just accepted it. Making up stats to win arguments was his thing. I’d still jump in front of a bullet for the guy, love him to death. Sometimes you need to accept people for what they are. Go Sabres.

With Rivers' retirement, Watson also on the block potentially and the Jets, Falcons and Jaguars all in the top-5, where else is he gonna go?

Who needs a QB right now?

Carolina, Denver, Indianapolis, New England, Washington, New Orleans? Pittsburgh maybe, Chicago, Minnesota? Vegas? Atlanta?

To me, the only teams without a real option at QB right now would be Indy and New England. Most other teams will be drafting one, or still have a guy under contract. New England doesn't even have assets to give up for him.

Detroit picks at 7 and has a new coach. Indy has the 21st pick. Indy's defense is pretty solid and they have offensive weapons. They can offer the 21st pick for Stafford and maybe for once he will play behind an OL who can protect him.

I think it's a good fit.

Check out Orville Peck. He's making true, classic Country-Western music. And it's excellent.

Have a ? for you all. How long are we supposed to wait for Dahlin to be generational. Cause if this is the Dahlin we are getting, we are in trouble.
- Buff36


How stupid would TB look if they traded Hedman when he struggled for the better part of 3 years. People often forget that defenseman generally take longer to develop then forwards. Is Dahlin struggling yes. Is it frustrating yes. When we trade him and he eventually becomes what was projected will that be frustrating especially selling him at what would be an all time low without a (frank)ing doubt. That’s all I got

Again, if that's all he was doing, it would be fine. We argue with Pegulaville constantly in that manner over the QB/RB debate.

Fitz is here just antagonizing people all day every day. And he cries to the mods and gets people banned when they lash out at him. And clearly, it's not just me who can only ignore him for so long. The past couple of days especially, there's about 4 or 5 guys who never seem to get involved with it and even they've taken up an issue with his antics.

It's getting really old.

I agree it’s a good fit in Indy. That team is set up to compete IF they have a qb and jacoby ain’t it. Luck really screwed them in that regard.

Kinda. They gave him absolutely nothing, especially on the oline, early on and he got pummeled. He gave 7 years and his body was breaking all over. If they woulda protected their investment earlier on, he prolly wouldn’t have retired

Yeah. They fixed everything he needed too late. And I don’t blame him for retiring. In fact I respect him for what he did.

Good points 👍

Skinner has been playing really good hockey.
Regardless of his lack of points.

Definitely a knock on a player that gets traded that young.
Probably something behind that, attitude , $ or something. The other dude is the same age, pick #3

Imagine trading dahlin at 2 years younger or eichel at 1 year older.

Jack had enough for 2 years now. Sometimes it's bad management, bad area too live ?

- Boss34

Dahlin has been bad.

And I never said he was better than Hughes, Makar, currently.

I said I wouldn’t doubt that some GM’s would still take Dahlin if given the choice. They’re all super young
