Yes, Bobby deserves his due. He's the other one who could get to the HOF. Really, there were a bunch of valuable parts. KJ could really sniff out screens. I loved Michael Bennett. But the core of it had to be the big three. Or big four if you prefer.
Will try to find that Larry David piece. He was so funny in his deeply cynical way. Perfect for the "90s. Perfect for any time since the "70s really. Our world since Vietnam and Watergate woke America up to things we may have preferred not to see or fathom. I don't want to stray into politics so I'll shut up now. Consider just a quick political drive-by. ;0)
I appreciate your point about how our passions drive us. I see people get passionate about different things. We're a weird clique, those of us who can get worked up about a game. I know some very dedicated people who get worked up about issues with big social implications. I get a bit worked up myself around social justice issues. Things that really impact people's lives. Those born into this world without much chance for success or happiness while others are born with so much -- sometimes too much. But then life is like that. Not always fair. Nature isn't fair. When I was growing up, a kid across the street suffered leukemia for several years and then died a painful death. But then his death brought together our families.
There are no idiots that hang out at Colchuck, those are the coolest.
Football from playing/coaching helped me develop leadership amongst the other stereotypical traits people associate with it, but more importantly, at least among the men in my family, it's how we bond.
I agree with all of this 100 percent.
I just got curious and googled whether or not there was any kind of regulation on social media in this country and it looks like the supreme court is attempting something. It is a very interesting time because TV due to its outreach (at the time) needed some form of regulation. However social media was created and blew up so quickly and our country holds freedom of speech as one of its true core values, but at the same time social media is not regulated at all and trusting on the companies themselves to regulate themselves is still a conflict of interest in a lot of ways. It's a very sensitive and interesting topic probably not for here, but I am very curious how/if/when there will be some regulations of social media and internet open forums like this, reddit, etc. in the future. Because as of now although it became a wonderful place to open the eyes of many to a world outside of their own peer circle, it has also created a lot of passion and conflict and unknown long term consequences of human behavior.
Good points. I bond with each of my sons through football. Unfortunately, one is a 49er fans so I am too (throwing up a bit in my mouth). The other is only 9, so we're completely on the same page (Hawks and Dawgs -- he likes to pretend he's a real dawg). The little guy also knows way more than his brother or me. His brother's a software engineer with google, a genius, but the younger fella knows almost all the players on all the teams in the league and their numbers. He has encyclopedic knowledge and I have no idea where it even comes from. Last year he watched the entire draft (so I got roped into watching it too). He plans to watch the combine. It's become a part of his education -- supporting skills like reading, writing and math.
What are you responding to? What have us old guys stopped caring about?
Macdonald might not be better. But we weren't going anywhere with Pete. If you don't try, there's no chance of success.
You're not the oldest generations i'm referring to that stopped caring. Talking about the people who are like in their 70s+...
