I do not understand people complaining about bands they don't like being at festivals. If there's enough you do like, who gives a shit about who you don't like being there?

Dr. Dog just confirmed for Bonnaroo.

Excellent.

College games start next week!

Yes they do!

I've been down to FIU's practice a couple of times because I was going to be the beat for our paper, but I can't do it anymore, so I'll just be a fan.

Pitchers and catchers report in like 10 days.

Yes! Baseball!

Wait, is stereogum posting the full album or something?

I wouldn't mind seeing a show made up of post-Flaming Pie stuff with his current band. His last two albums have been very solid.

I thought it was nicely unsanitized for a Super Bowl performance, mostly because of Pete.

So he was around 30 when the band got wicked famous? That seems about right.

Hmm. I guess. It just sounded odd that he's only 43.

They first hit it big in like 94, though right? That's most of my life as a sentient being. Fuck.

Dave Matthes is only 43?

That's the most shocking thing in this whole thread.

People don't want the government to know what movies they rent or what books they check out of the library, but there is no outcry about this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the information isn't being linked, is it? It's just collected, but not identified?

That'd be Korean.

Thanks for another hate filled, racist post.

Didn't the Sox steal a base when they were up like 14-0 in the first, or something?

Kim got messed up with the bullpen-by-committe fiasco. Regardless, he was pretty inefficiant as a starter for BOS (though did decent as a closer), even though I believe he started that 25 to-(single digit) rout of FLA towards the end of his first season with BOS.

In 03?

Christ, that was awful. I think we were down at one point like 24-6 and we brought in a mop up reliever and on like the 2nd batter he faced, he got hit with a come backer and had to be taken off on a stretcher...

He was awesome for the Marlins a few years back. He didn't pitch particularly well, but he was a lot of fun to watch with all of his tics and stuff.

At one point the umpire called a balk on him for doing the same thing he does everytime he pitched. On his next pitch he does the exact same thing, but much more exaggerated. It was pretty funny.

Say what you want about the guy, but he's got personality.

With Japanese announcers, no less!

I do hate the laugh track, but I still like it.

I love How I Met Your Mother.

Twins and "Next Great Yankee/Red Sox catcher" Joe Mauer reportedly agree to 10 year deal.

This is good for baseball.

I would expect something in the 190-200 million dollar range.

I saw it last night in 3D and was never not entertained.

The "greatest QB never to win a Super Bowl" could also be "the greatest QB ever".

How can rings not play into the discussion? You play the game to win. Dan Marino never won.

 

He's still certainly one of the top few QBs to ever play the game.

Because 50+ other guys play a part in winning a Super Bowl.

It's reasonable in basketball to make the rings argument for individual players, but too much is out of a quarterback's hands for me to judge someone's career on them. Is it a nice bonus if you do win a ring? Sure, I don't mind giving a little extra credit, especially if you had a big hand in winning those rings.

Dan Marino played on a lot of mediocre Miami Dolphins football teams. Don Shula was getting by on reputation and Marino's arm for pretty much all of the 90's.

Yes, the quarterback has more impact on a game than any other single position, but he still doesn't play half the game. If his defense can't stop anybody, it doesn't matter how good he is. So yeah, a little extra credit for winning, but ultimately, if Peyton had never won one, he would still be the best QB I've ever seen. Greatness isn't diluted by not winning. It's only increased by winning.

Best Quarterback of All Time. Is there really a good rebuttal to this?

 

Same uniform -1.

Four time MVP, 5-time First Team All Pro, 10 Pro Bowls, Single Season record for QB Rating, 5th all time in QB Rating, 4th all time in passing yards, 3rd in passing TDs.

I will also say that relative to the players on his team, no QB did more with less than:

You want to knock him because he didn't win a Super Bowl? Fine. All I know is if I'm building a quarterback, I'm basing it on Dan Marino or Peyton Manning. Nobody has ever had a more perfect skill set for the position than those two.

Also, has anyone's career ever benefitted more from something that has absolutely nothing to do with his abilities as a player than Archie Manning. No one's legacy has been helped by talented children more than him.

So you're being a troll. Good to know.

...but only when applied to Tony Romo?

Do you even read the posts you are replying to?

Are you bored?

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? Get off the Romo thing, for christ's sake. You obviously didn't read what I said the first time around, want me to link you to the original argument so you can figure out what I said, since you've referenced it twice and brought up a bunch of shit I never said.

Go ahead and read it.

Jeez...I wish they had planned a little further south.

 

Can't say I blame them after last show in Miami at the Fillmore....only 1/3 full place.

 

St. Augustine is a long drive of SF...we will see....already driving up to Clearwater for Wilco in March

I did the drive to St. Augustine for the Decemberists last year, might be willing to do this one too since it's during my summer.

Oh yeah, when they played here last year they packed a place probably twice the size of the 400 Bar. And Miami isn't the kind of town that is generally receptive of lesser known bands.
