I'm interested to see how this works out for him. Different environment, different coach, and Payton must see some potential in him. I doubt if he'll be their starter, but it might be the beginning of a good second chapter in his career.
Here's a couple that I love, which I haven't seen anyone mention yet -
Psychoville, by the British comedy group the League of Gentlemen. This is basically the same as the League of Gentlemen, but even darker and even funnier which takes some doing.
And Corner Gas, a Canadian sitcom about a...
You normally hear comments like that from fans on the team subreddit. To have them coming from the coach must be pretty depressing. :(
What has it been like, being a fan of the Browns over the last couple of years?
For those of you who might be interested, the NFL has just produced a documentary about the Houston Oilers! Bum Phillips and Earl Campbell were two of my favourite figures in football back in the day, and it's a shame that the franchise has fallen into a kind of no-man's land between the Titans...
Thank you Bombers, and congratulations to all my fellow OOBs!! That was great fun and I've really enjoyed meeting you all - we'll be back to smash the opposition next year, or to lose in style, whichever we feel like on the day. 👍
And in celebration, I present one of the greatest vocal...
And the other is that Matt Ulrich, former lineman with the Colts, has dies this week at the age of 41, with CTE suspected of being a factor in his death. His family are donating his brain to research into CTE.
We won't be able to hide from what this sport is doing forever, and it'll have to...
Two big news stories stood out to me this week. One is that the NY Giants starting QB for the next match still lives with his parents. :) Tommy Devito, UDFA and former practice squad QB, grew up in New Jersey and very sensibly still lives with Mum and Dad. I'd love it if this was the start of a...
Sorry you're going through that, Kenney. Life is s*** sometimes, and sometimes that's all you can say about it. Hope you're feeling better very soon, and I hope you're having fun with your new friend. 👍
Just thinking about the recent trends for buttock implants and, even more recently, massive amounts of lip filler. Mark my words - one day a celebrity will appear in public with a huge, deliberate camel toe, and it'll become a fashion. I'd bet anything you like on it! :D
Reginald Perrin Very good to meet you, Reggie!
I have to ask - are you a fan of the books as well as the TV series? The original series is great of course, but I absolutely loved the books when I was younger - read them hundreds of times. :) I read them again just a few months ago and enjoyed...
Showing at the OOB's team cinema tonight - a true classic featuring Sid James and Kenneth Connor. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an hour and a half of simple laughs. :D
The Frank & Walters were great!!!! I saw them supporting Carter USM in Glasgow back in the early '90s - I was there with a group of friends and we all became huge fans of the Franks instantly.
This song was also about a colourful local character, a bus driver who was a very kind, cheery soul. :)
Here's a question for anyone who's in a philosophical mood. What is the strangest thing you've ever eaten, and what's the most horrible thing you've ever eaten, and were they the same thing?
The strangest thing I've ever eaten was probably a mystery stew that was given to me in a very remote...
Blooming heck. I'm gone for ten minutes, then put my head around the door and 27 pages have gone by! Glad to see the camels are fighting on undaunted.
No relevance to anything at all, but I think I'll post this here -
The Farting Furries sound like the most fascinating team in the league. Do you have to meet certain strict standards to be allowed to join, or is the name more aspirational than descriptive?
I've been really impressed with Zach over the last few weeks. Not necessarily for his play, which still isn't great (although it's improving), but for his mental resilience and fortitude. He's been on the receiving end of an incredible amount of hostility and criticism, and you would have to be...
As of last night, the Miami Dolphins record for holding the only undefeated season continues for another year. 👍
And what an amazing way for the Eagles and the Niners to be beaten! For the first time in franchise history, the Eagles were defeated by the Jets, with Zach Wilson at the helm! And...
