8/28 vs Buck Naked Showalter

[mvp 78]

I've earned my stripes. I watched us lose 2 superbowls to Eli Manning and have to kill myself.

 

That's not earning your stripes. Wait till the suck for a decade after Brady retires.

 

The worst part of being a Pats fan when I was younger wasn't losing in Superbowl XX, it was sitting through 1-15 and 3-13 seasons and only being able to get excited if a s***** RB like Leonard Russell finally reached 1,000 yards.

 

The red throw back unis take me back to a place when the Pats were inept at best. They should never be worn.

[BornToRun]

Cowboys are definitely the Yankees of football. I can't think of a more hated team, owner and overpaid, worthless QB.

Watching tony romo be terrible is incredibly entertaining though

[Navafan29]

Yeah it's kind of annoying when you're watching an NHL player for some random city in an interview or something and they just have a yankees hat on out of nowhere.

I love the red throwbacks. I have a Steve Grogan one myself.

[VA Sox Fan]

Except that both Zuckerberg and Bon Jovi are *******s.

 

^ This and f*** Bruce Springsteen like his music (Born in the USA and earlier) but he gets too political during his concerts these days. STFU no one cares Lib.

Does it come with a 5 lb neckbrace sewn in?

Bruce's political activism is part of the reason I would volunteer myself to have his children if I were a woman.

 

It's also hard to separate the music from the politics.

Wow lol. Grogan was a tough SOB, guy played through a lot of injuries.

Okay, so they're more like the Chicago Bulls of the NFL.

I can separate them and love his older stuff. Glad I saw him in concert in 1985 when he just told good stories and didn't bring politics into it. Wouldn't go see him for free now.

[Navafan29]

Tom Caron's wonderful voice has just come on NESN.

[VA Sox Fan]

GT at 7 pages and 30 minutes until the first pitch! Hilarious!

Love TC!

You like a lot of insufferable things, you masochist you.

 

also, we need a lol emote.

I've seen him 3 times starting in 2009. It's very hard not to listen to anything from Nebraska forward and not hear the political overtones. Born in the USA even is a grossly misunderstood song.

I understand it. Have you ever heard Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel? Best song about the Vietnam War IMO.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I hate Springsteen. Not the politics, which I know nothing about having never seen him in concert or really at all, but the actual music. But then, my musical tastes are somewhat limited.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I understand it. Have you ever heard Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel? Best song about the Viet Nam War IMO.

 

Wooo Billy Joel!

 

Yeah, one of my favorite of his songs. Not the best, but definitely up there.

Ofc you can, expressing yourself through music is a good thing. I love his music (I think Born In The USA is a terrible album, though) and the political lyrics really don't bother me.

 

I never got that people didn't understand the content of that song, the lyrics don't hide anything.

[VA Sox Fan]

Wooo Billy Joel!

No doubt! I have too many favorites by him.

[BornToRun]

Billy Joel is awesome but I have to give the nod to Born in the USA. Lost in the Flood is a great one too.

 

Billy's got some great lesser known songs though. I love The Downeaster Alexa.

I'm not saying its impossible, just difficult. And with that song, people just hear the chorus. Reagan trying to use it on campaign probably didn't help. Bruce actually took to performing acoustically for a while so people might actually get the point.

That is a good song. Storm Front is my favorite of his "later years" albums.

You can go f*** yourself.

[mvp 78]

No, worse than the Bulls. Do the Bulls have a very bangwagon oriented fanbase? The Bulls were beloved everywhere when Jordan played. I think people have always kind of hated the Pats.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Every time I listen to Downeaster Alexa, I get teary eyed. I don't know why. It's stupid to get mushy over a song, but goddamn do I feel bad for that poor fisherman.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oh, and I'd have to say my personal favorite Joel song is "I Go To Extremes"

[BornToRun]

That is a good song. Storm Front is my favorite of his "later years" albums.

Haven't heard it. "Doo-op" Joel is good too IMO, For the Longest Time and Uptown Girl are fun songs. Miami 2017 rocks purely because its about NY getting torn apart and the Yankees being sold for free.

That's a great one too.
