What’s so funny? It’s true. 

I didn’t understand a word of anything he sang but it was entertaining and I enjoyed quite a bit. 
I mean it was better than Katy Perry’s dancing sharks 

I was just thinking about that stupid left shark thing the other day, haha

the thread is like seeing cape do a guitar solo without a band

Haha Ah but on the other hand if it's classical guitar it's perfectly soloable

Well, obviously my time frame for the SSW will not work out after looking likely a week ago...but I'm till not convinced we don't pull it off later in the month.

Those things are really, really hard to predict, aren't they?

it seems lost---maybe its "learning" this pattern

I was about to say...as good as it has been, I'm sure eventually there will be a pattern/setup it might struggle with! I mean that solution there looks like it's copying something suppressive from 10 days ago, lol

I’m talking after that storm. 

I get ya. Missing the blizzard kinda hurt. Now...from an unselfish, greater good standpoint, given how things had just gotten paralyzed by the glacier, perhaps it was better we didn't get that on top of it. Make no mistake I wanted it ALL, but I can kinda see the grace in that outcome too.

Euro AI is so far south--we dont even get precip

 

Yeah that doesn't look right...I mean it's the only OP showing suppression. I'm not even sure it's ensemble members are gonna do that. But eh, what do I know?

I think for us in the cities this is probably going to be the best case scenario. It’s either this or all rain. Just sucks because we had all this cold air and nothing to show for it 

Except the glacier that snarled the cities for a week?  (I mean maybe DC was better but it sure had the effect of a foot of snow here!). I don't get the nothing to show for it part of this...no we don't have as MUCH as we could've had, but this is far from nothing. And by Nina standards even more so.

Ukie with a thump as well...

I'd take the stat pad...though snow immediately washed away by a bunch of rain is my least favorite kind. I'd love for the heaviest to be snow and just some liiiiight rain afterward to keep some of the snow around

Ummm yes. The whole performance was full of symbolism 

And that's a big part of what made it so good! I didn't understand a word except mannana but I felt all the themes, and I felt the very soul of Puerto Rico throughout the entire performance. The music was better than I expected (not my usual cup of tea but I can objectively appreciate quality of music if when I hear it!)...and the entire production was fantastic!

Yes!! Lol

I may have spoken a tad soon, lol Still got some time...

That’s good because that model is never right

I mean is it that far off from the others this time, though? Seems like they all have things forming too late to catch the last of this cold. I know the AIs are still south, but...

@wasnow215 

Although...upon further review, the Ravens set the record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game season at 165. And they also went 5 games without scoring a TD too, lol It sounds like the 76 Steelers and 00 Ravens were nearly matched!

1 minute ago, wasnow215 said:

The '76 Steelers D allowed 138 points in 14 games. 9.8 points a game. The final 9 games after the team started 1-4, they allowed just TWENTY EIGHT TOTAL POINTS. Sorry but that's unmatched in the SB era. 

I was just speaking of the SB performance in particular.

4 minutes ago, wasnow215 said:

Taking nothing away from that great Ravens D but NYG had 152 yds of total offense

Ah but the NYG did give up points on defense...think that makes up for the yard difference!

Just now, CAPE said:

They gave up zero points in the SB. The one TD was a kickoff return.

And we remain the only team to do that--thanks to the Patriots at least getting on the board tonight

The greatest defense in the Super Bowl era, and I'm not a fan of the team, was the Pittsburgh Steelers "steel curtain" defense of the 70s. They held the Minnesota Vikings to 119 total yards in a 16-6 win in SB 9.

2000 Ravens defense did even better than that

Congratulations Mike Mac!!! WELL deserved!

Why isnt he our head coach? Oh never mind.

Folks really gotta let that go, lol It was not gonna happen at that particular time--MM's unexpected ascent was poorly timed with how deep we got in the playoffs that year! You can't make decision like that in less than 2 weeks' time: You woulda had to see that coming before the season even started.

Mike MacDonald is writing a straight-up dissertation on defense. Goodness gracious!

Incredible!

Loved it.

Apparently broke X lmao.

I had never really heard his music...I actually enjoyed that halftime show more than I thought! Was definitely feeling the vibe...while not exactly what I'd listen to everyday, objectively...it was pretty good! And the visual was incredible (thought it was AI at first, lol)--all that grass and everything? You really felt the soul of Puerto Rico there.

I can never fully trust Darnold.

He can always revert back to what he has always been at any moment lol

It always feels like he's a fingernail away from turning into a pumpkin, lol

Drought guy is going to end up with a 3-week out Nostradamus-type snowstorm call for the burbs next weekend. Now the euro has it too.

Who is the drought guy? Lol
