re: What is today's "prototypical" QB?
Posted by ATCTx on 4/28/25 at 9:57 pm
The any era prototype QB is John Elway. He had size, speed, cannon, toughness, and cool under pressure. No weaknesses or limitations.
The current prototype has to be Mahomes although it seems like he's lost a step. Josh Allen is the most Elway-like of today's QBs.
Mel Kiper still has Elway as his top ranked quarterback draftee all time and this from a GM:
"He was the blueprint -- Stanford brain, best arm I've ever seen, run, throw, confident, competitive," a current general manager said. "He ruined looking at quarterbacks

re: Who do you consider the best vocalist of any genre?
Posted by ATCTx on 4/28/25 at 9:35 pm
Assuming this is just genres of popular music...
Country - George Jones, Alison Krauss
Rock - Freddie, Ann Wilson
Pop - Sinatra, Karen Carpenter
Soul/R&B - Sam Cooke, Aretha
JMO.
The greatest pure vocalists, however, would be opera or musical theater singers, simply because of extraordinary talent and decades of vocal training.

There is a fundamental difference between right and left. When the left presents solid evidence of a failed policy or obvious crime, the right usually concedes the point because they believe in right and wrong and consequences.
The left believes in right and wrong when it suits their values. Values trump right. Values trump wrong. The media is a perfect example.
The left is lost, but dangerous.

This. Rogan is exactly the type of elitist wannabe Maher has been railing against for a year. You could see Maher's face cringe the second time Rogan playfully said how much "we love you Bill" while implying Maher was duped by Trump for meeting him.
These people are insufferable. Figures they only hang out with each other.

Historians are almost all left and will never give Trump any credit for his wins, so there is that.
I cannot think of a more consequential election than 2024, maybe Lincoln in 1860. The country was sliding into economic, military, and cultural meltdown. Trump is a pro-USA radical and his will be the most active presidency since FDR.
Four years of Harris and the USA would look very much like Western Europe. I just can't believe 48% of voters wanted her to win. It should have been under 40.
The Dems are down but not out. They have every information/indoctrination institution (media, education, entertainment) shilling for their nonsense and lunacy, and if they hold ground or increase in the midterms, 2028 will be far from an easy GOP win.

How Green was my Valley over Citizen Kane
Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, and Stanley Kubrick never winning one.
SIL over SPR
Pam Grier not getting any nomination for Jackie Brown
Cher winning for Moonstruck over Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
Out of Africa winning over The Color Purple
Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas
Nicholson in the very average "as good as it gets" over Robert Duvall as The Apostle (Duvall's best performance IMO)

Also, certain classes were "exclusive" and had FAA instructors rather than contract ones we had. We kidded them about it and it was widely known among the students. Back then it wasn't a huge controversy because it was just chalked up to affirmative action.

re: SNL 50th Anniversary Live thread
Posted by ATCTx on 2/17/25 at 12:11 am
I prefer to remember the first 40 years of SNL than the last ten. SNL is arguably the biggest American entertainment institution in history. Second would be The Tonight Show (with Carson).
I was surprised to see Eddie as he has generally stayed away from SNL anniversary shows. He was fantastic. Some believe he saved the show in its toddler years. I was disappointed Aykroyd wasn't there as he is my pick for GOAT cast member.
I enjoyed the show tonight. There were only a few dud skits, and yes some were overdone, but the nostalgia was worth it. The best skit was the last one with Eddie, Keenan, and Ferrill. That should have led off the night.
I don't watch SNL anymore, so tonight was a real treat.

re: Funny story about my liberal daughter.
Posted by ATCTx on 2/15/25 at 12:47 pm
Notice how you rarely hear of conservative kids rejecting their families who believe differently. It always seems to be liberal kids rejecting their moderate/conservative ones.
My son used to laugh with me in 2016 at Trump's nicknames and we bonded over it. By 2020 and now in high school, he withdrew from the family (figuratively) and made us miserable his last two years before going to college. It's time we will never get back.
All his HS friend group were libs and last year, when he did reach out to me, it was to send an email about "America is bad" and other such leftist BS. We can all be in each others company and it's cordial enough, but this kid was the greatest and now he'd probably be OK seeing us once a year.
The left breaks up families, spreads misery, and is rooted in lies and deception. OP, I sympathize. I truly do. It bothers me every day.

Without massive election fraud, the democrats won’t win a meaningful election for quite some time. They have no leader, they have no bench, and the people they keep putting in front of the camera to get their policy across are room temp IQ individuals. It’s glorious to witness.
I can't go that far, GB. Republicans must be very careful to not overestimate their standing with the voters. Trump is probably a solitary figure in our history. The next Rep candidate will likely not get the same support from groups who voted Trump in 24 but normally vote Dem.
The Dems don't deserve to win any branch of government for at least a decade, but it doesn't mean they won't. As a Rep, I am both glad that they've doubled down on insanity, but also cautious that if the Reps blow it, the lunatics will regain power and burn it all down. We do not know what things will look like in 2028.
Trump won the popular vote by 1.4. It should have been at least a 3 point win given the horrible state of the country and their "candidate". Unfortunately, our citizenry is not where it should be. The left's long game is strong.
