Believe me, I know. He's beaten a lot of teams, and none of those wins mean he's good, either.

Believe me, dude: we were fucking ECSTATIC when he was hired away. After that playoff meltdown last year (threw the ball 50+ times in a home playoff game they were winning at halftime), we'd have put his ass on a boat to China if they tried to keep him around.

He beat y'all twice this year, with mega-clutch plays in both.

I was all-in on this year, ups and downs included, until that Cleveland game. I took a shot in the fourth quarter of it to celebrate not giving a fuck for the rest of the season, and they promptly went on a three-game road winning streak, including curb-stomping New Orleans and the nice Houston win. Even so, I'm not…

Born and raised Bengals fan here, and until this red-headed penis can go three games without shitting on himself there is no hope. Pittsburgh this weekend, Cleveland next, and the Broncos on Monday Night make up the next three-week stretch. I might not watch that Denver game, either: combine Von Miller and DeMarcus…

Some of y'all are sleeping on exactly how shitty of a coach Jay Gruden is. Whatever else RGIII may or may not ever become, Gruden was the exact wrong person to hire to be his head coach. Dude came from the arena league and had Andy Dalton passing 50 times in a playoff game the Bengals were dominating on the ground.…

Excuse me, Mr. Burneko, but this post isn't about the Lakers.

I agree with that whole-heartedly. The only thing is, I'm not sure they had to make dance music for old dudes. They could've kept making weird, interesting music for old dudes, instead of this kind of thing. But again, I don't think it's necessarily bad. Just a little too obvious for my liking. And that's just me, and…

I think David Byrne's done probably as good a job as is possible of staying current and continuing to make interesting music throughout his middle age. When I say cliche-riddled, I just mean things like the "Everything's gonna be okay" chorus mentioned in the article above, or virtually all of the lyrics to "Ride". I…

I felt exactly the same way. "Meh" pretty much seals it, which, considering THIS band, I found incredibly, perhaps too, disappointing.

I got no problem with Nine Types of Light. I thought that was as "pop" as they would ever go, and I really liked it. If you haven't seen the movie they made of videos for every song on the album, dig it up on YouTube. A very cool way to experience the record.

Listen to these six songs from their '06-'08 bomb-throwing heyday: "I Was a Lover", "Let the Devil In", "Wolf Like Me", "Golden Age", "Dancing Choose", "DLZ"

To each their own, but I found it really cliche-riddled and kind of lame, compared to their earlier work. I appreciate everything they've been through, and how that might make a band want to make chiller, happier music. And like you said, this record isn't bad (these guys are probably incapable of making a bad…

Not gonna talk about he shook it off to make the game-tying three at the end of the second overtime and then iced the game with two free throws at the end of the third overtime? Okay, cool, but the kid's a baller, man, and the Bucks are over .500 after winning in Miami, at home against New York, and in Brooklyn over…

Right on. God bless.

Might want to check the tape on that one, buddy.

I'll agree that testtestttt got you way better than I did. Cheers.

Sure. Okay. That's a terrible situation. It also I think lends greater credence to my assertion that Wallace started this.

Yes, they are. And that's a real shame.

Man, it's tough. The stories and the personalities and weird shit are real cool, but every time the Foos take center-stage it's fucking terrible. Like the Austin episode, where they go deep on the Big Boys and that whole underground psychedelic-into-punk evolution, and tagging it as being thought cool in the first…
