    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Any football fans in here?

With the NFL season just around the corner I was wondering how many football fans we got around here?
 
I'm a big time football fan. I just got DirecTV and the first thing I did was sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket so I could see the game(s) that I want to see.

Your hometown hero Peyton (who is one of the greatest to play the game if not the greatest) has yet to win the big one.

I suffered through lots of lean years in New England but we've just ridden the crest of a serious wave. Unfortunately with both coordinators off to head coaching jobs and no offensive coordinator aside from Bill Belichik (a defensive guy) I do not see it going to four of the last five Super Bowls.
 
Cool Jim. Glad to see some fans in here.

Yeah I gotta tip my hat to the Pats. They are a great team. Those guys just play the game like its suppost to be played..... hard nosed and together.

After more than a decade of being mediocre at best, the last few years have been great with Manning and company. This will be Peyton, Marvin and Edges last chance to do it together. If they do, they will have to go down as one of the greatest trios in history.

Been a really fun team to watch. Outside of New England it seems, they can put up 50 points against anybody on any given night. When that offense is clicking it is truly a thing of football beauty.

Hehe, hopefully old Charlie Weis will turn my Fighting Irish back around too. It just aint American for Notre Dame to go this long without a National Championship.

I'm rooting for Charlie. He deserves some success of his own.
