I was guessing Seattle -4, so yeah ... -5 sounds about right.

Much closer game than I expected as I predicted the Hawks would win a blowout. Rams o-line did a great job protecting Stafford. But Hawks offense ain't too shabby either. Great story for old Darnold. Dude's career has been to hell and back. So lucky to even get a chance to do it ... if Viking's McCarthy doesn't injure his knee in the '24 preseason game, Darnold would've been a forgotten back-up that year and probably this year too. Lord only knows who Seattle's Qb would be and highly unlikely they'd be headed to the Superbowl now. Of course, Vikings fans have rightly been second-guessing all year if the organization should've let Darnold go. Now they see him leading a team to the Superbowl, while they're still trying to figure out if McCarthy is worth a damn. Ouch.

Broncos +3.5 Patriots played one of the easiest schedules in the NFL. Time to pay the piper.

As a 5th gen Floridian who's been over-run by our wonderful Latino friends, it's a local stereotype that Cubans are classier, more honest, and a lot more hard-working than their Puerto Rican counterparts. Based on my interactions ... I generally agree.

I don't like them either... but I'm from the 70's. Back then only gays had mustaches and only bald dudes grew beards. Now it's everyone. Sorta like tattoos. Nobody used to have them, now everyone does. And ya know damn well if virtually nobody else did, they wouldn't either. It screams "What's the latest style? Oh yeah, I'm hip." Whatever. I don't have a beard, tattoos, and I sure as hell don't wear jewelry. To me that stuff looks scummy, but to each their own - no offense to Geeks who have all those things.

Not great at chess by any stretch... rather suck compared to good players. But I can teach beginners/casual players to get way better in 10 minutes. Just quit doing the 2 big mistakes all bad players do (aside from total blunders). 1) Don't move the queen early 2) Don't move the same pieces multiple times in the opening unless there's a damn good reason, and there's rarely a good reason. The opening of chess is a development race - when ya move the same pieces over and over, you fall behind in that race.

Well put. Clinton was disbarred for lying under oath to Congress. Should've been removed from office and charged with a felony... but laws don't apply to the rich and powerful. Trump knows all about that. The system is broken. As for this topic... "refuse to testify" ? How do ya refuse a subpoena? I'm sure the Clintons have the legal power to somehow avoid it, but I thought refusing meant instant jail. Apparently not. It should.

Beeper. Invisible waves in the air find me anywhere I hide. Creepy.

Google "Trump World Economic Forum 2018" and read that speech... he talked about the US economy and all countries prospering. Same stuff all Presidents say. Not the disgraceful diatribe of insults and threats the world heard this time. He's changed.

Not even the biggest Trumpers could support today's speech... or so I thought. "Well, Biden was a lying pile garbage! Groped a kid too." "Trump acts crazy to get what he wants. Doesn't fool me though - only stupid Libs." etc. That's your response to him embarrassing himself and all Americans on the international stage? That's sad. I voted for Trump his first term. But at least I was unbiased enough to praise things I liked (mainly domestic policies), and rant against things I didn't (nearly every foreign policy). Don't understand the I support everything no matter how insane mentality. If ya don't have something to praise and criticize about every President, then your opinion is worthless.

Sounds a bit like Florida who had an 80 year history of being terrible to mediocre - never even won the SEC. Then came Spurrier in the 90's followed by Meyer winning 2 more titles the last in '08. Then it's been back to mediocrity. They keep hiring bad coaches and their latest hire out of Tulane doesn't inspire much hope from fans. At least he has a huge NIL budget to work with.

I saw some of that - embarrassing. Didn't like what I saw out of Biden and I don't like it from Trump. I root for my Presidents regardless of party affiliation.... but Trump makes it extra difficult. Having senior moments is one thing, but a bullying jackass to boot.?. Tough times for America and the world - with 3 long years to go.

Since I've never heard of it, I was tempted to vote won't make budget. But considering how easily entertained the idiot masses are by even the dumbest of crap ... I vote break even.

I knew Cignetti took the Indiana job only after being assured there would be "financial support", but had no idea they ended up with that much support. 12th ??? Why the hell didn't they have any 5 star recruits and only a handful of 4 star recruits with all that cash? Regardless, greatest sports story of my lifetime. Credit to Indiana for taking a chance on "old-man" Cignetti (who bet on himself taking crap jobs and working his way from the lowest depths of college football) and credit again to Indiana for giving him an insane contract back in October before he'd actually done anything worthy of that kind of money. What a story. And to beat scumbag Miami. Priceless.

I'll be SHOCKED if anyone is stupid enough to give McDaniel an NFL head coaching gig ever again. Perhaps only Dolphin fans actually listened to his press conferences.... Youtube some - he sounds like a stoned idiot teenager. "Well, uh, ya know... um, we tried to, uh, ya know, move the ball, but umm...." That's not even an exaggeration. That's exactly how he speaks. A vape-smoking, capri-wearing, fruit loop of a head coach. No player respects that.
