And he wants to run for President. Not even joking. But I guess there are no qualifiers anymore.

No more Chiefs to block them. Being a road team totally works in their favor because of the weather.

I guess they were absolutely surprised at how cheap it was to get the rights to those two songs. And the whole idea of how to use an album side (I won't spoil) it was unique. To have an uptempo song at the start and a very emotional closer at the end. They went through a bunch of albums and there were only 2 or 3 and Purple Rain was choice #1 (doesn't hurt that the first time they saw El was in the rain). It just all came together. I think labels/managers recognize the power of that show and how it can increase streams. I don't know how much money that's worth (I know Prince has a higher royalty on Spotify than most artists). Kate Bush is alive and was a fan of the show before they asked her so she was alright with it. Hard to tell if Prince was still alive. I think he might have said yes because of how it was used. Every Friday between 5pm an 5:30 I do the Friday Getaway on 107one, where we play uptempo songs for the start of the weekend. This Friday we're doing the Spoiler-Free Stranger Things Friday Getaway, playing a bunch of music from the finale (plus Kate Bush, which was in every other episode). Prince, The Pixies, Lansldie, Sweet Jane, not gonna play The Trooper, however. That one doesn't quite fit our station. I can still only hear out of one ear, but I am still on the air. This might be permanent or take a very long time to recover from. Whatever the hell it is. At least the Vertigo is fading a bit. But I have to work from home all week. I tried going in Monday and in the middle of the day I hit a wall. I had to run my arm along the wall to not fall down. Infection of some kind, right? All will be well in the end, right? Working at home sounds great when there is a snowstorm, or maybe for a day, but man it gets old in a hurry. It's boring. I want to be out there in the world.

SPOILERS BELOW...........YOU'VE GOT TIL JANUAR 15TH TIL I STOP WHITING THEM OUT. They could easily produce some sort of graphic novel or animated epilogue to describe some of the plot holes. Like how the Military just forgave Hopper for killing so many members. My thought is that someone like Murray had all the verifiable info on what happened during the run of the show and in exchange for silence, made deals..........something like that. I guess they didn't want to film the Eleven in Iceland part but Netflix demanded it. I think it cost several million dollars to shoot it. I didn't believe she died from the start - as things were flying by at 100mph but she was completely unaffected by it. Her hair or clothes not moving. But whatever. I don't need everything to be perfect. I do wonder why Argyle was not shown in the graphic novel credits at the end. Seems like everyone from the show but Argyle and Dr. Owens were shown. I know the guy that plays Argyle, Eduardo Franco looks nothing like him anymore, as he's lost a ton of weight and is a bodybuilder now, but they showed several other long-gone cast members. I know way way back that Franco said the Duffers never contacted him about a Season 5 cameo and maybe that pissed them off for leaking that info, but did Paul Reiser want money to be drawn or something. He was pretty key for a season.

I am not saying he'll take it, but they're going to try. And, from I have been led to believe, Mark Davis is not the wealthiest owner in the NFL (which is a silly statement on my part), at some point paying 3 coaches at the same time has to make a difference, right? Aren't they going to be paying McDaniels, Carroll, Pierce and the new coach next year? What a disaster. Geno Smith is only good when he has NO expectations. Expect something out of him and he crumbles.

Yep. I wouldn't want someone with that name at Michigan.....they need to completely break away from that whole thing. The Falcons job would be perfect for him. But if the Packers lay an egg this weekend, I could see him landing there too. But yeah, the Raiders like names. The Raiders like headlines. Tom Brady with the Michigan connection. Two brothers in the same division. Resist, John, Resist - the Raiders are a disaster. If you go the Falcons and just be your average self, you're taking that division next year. Seeing online - a few sources as saying Kliff Kingsbury is a top guy for Baltimore and a few other places. What has this guy ever done? He coached Mahomes in college. But maybe Mahomes is good because of himself, not the coach.

The Raiders will back up the Brinks truck for John Harbaugh.

I mean, come on, man. This should be illegal. You want to Frankenstein new ****, go ahead, there's so little actual talent out there they have to now, but what the hell are you doing with classic stuff? I guess label execs Frankensteined Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and it got yanked. Why - because Marvin was missing notes? No, he just wasn't absolutely perfect. Because that is incredibly rare with the human voice. I don't like the Eagles (Me and the Dude), but it has more to do with Don Henley being an insufferable prick, than their music. Randy Meisner knocked it out of the park, but it wasn't good enough? STOP DOING THIS !

No, it's not new. I just never knew about it because I like actual music. It was put into the new music portal because it was a different mix than the standard one, which is probably also terrible.

that just sucks. no treatment for that advanced stage. I hope he can get well enough to at least do a few more things he enjoys while he still can enjoy them.

That was one goddamned impressive win yesterday. They beat the Knicks will out of them. And without Jalen Duren. Still room for improvement. Room for a good outside shooter. They should be the favorite for the Finals now (if they stay healthy). And they are deep as hell too, meaning they can take some of the mileage off their stars in the stretch. What an incredible turnaround from two years ago. With many of the same pieces. Shows you how a good coach can really turn things around.

****ing Kickers, man.

Well, there's the whole avoiding a shutout thing too.

I know that Ben would like to win this game, but they're playing with fire if they leave Caleb in there too much longer.

If they were to land Bichette or Bregman, then there's a pretty decent chance that some of those guys you mentioned get traded to get another SP. Some sort of package deal. They don't think they are WS contenders. They think they are AL Central contenders. So they aren't going for it all. Now, should they look really, really good during the season, maybe they take a wild swing before Skubal goes away, but they had that season in 2025 and they didn't. They'd better get a King's ransom for Skubal.

If only they hadn't **** the bed last week. But then again, if they had beaten Minnesota, then maybe Minnesota plays differently today. Winning last week doesn't mean the same things would happen this week.

Yeah. Baseball and Basketball maybe guys are willing to lose just to end the season. But football and hockey with the beating those guys take it's an insult. They want to win and if you have guys in those two sports that are okay with losing, then maybe you have the wrong guys. The Bears might not have the same edge, but you know Ben wants to atone for earlier this season (although that beating may have been the thing that galvanized the Bears).

that's creepy man, just creepy ♫ So Let the sun shine in, face it with a grin ♫ Great, now that's stuck in my head

Keep the division illusion alive by having the home/home vs the same teams every year. Every year Bears, Packers, Vikings twice. Everyone else is on a rotation. 18 games (because we all know that's coming) 6 vs. those Regional Rivalries with a home & home (then based on a rotation........) 6 vs. others in your conference 6 vs. the other conference. With these games, you make sure that every year you play a certain number of games West Of The Rockies, so everyone has to do the dreaded West-Coast road trip at least once or twice a year.

Wilma suffered from the whole thing that made people hate Skyler White. She tried to provide common sense and put a stop to Fred's stupidity. The Wet Blanket. But in the end, she was usually right.

I heard an interview that Jim Harbaugh did on 97.1 and as the interview was ending Harbaugh threw out there "that Barney Rubble, what an actor" and nobody got the reference. He probably had Connor Stallions tape the movie while a neighbor was watching it. "Name of the deceased, Something Polish?" comes just after this clip ends. Due to changing morals - some people might find a movie about prostitutes played for comedy in poor taste, but it's actually a pretty PG movie. Ron Howard's second film as a director (the first was Grand Theft Auto, if you can believe it). This was great for Henry Winkler too - because he couldn't get parts because people would only see him as the Fonz and he needed a friend to pull him out of that. So glad he got an Emmy for Barry, he was great in that.

Just rank them by conference. Still have divisions, but the playoff rankings are by conference. Make a rule. Even if you win a division, you don't make the playoffs with a losing record, You go 9-8 and you're in, you go 8-9 and sorry, that's on you, see you next year. Or use the Lions idea. Congratulations Panthers/Buccs, you are the 7th seed, good luck in Seattle.

An 8-9 team going to the playoffs and HOSTING a game. Pure garbage.

That Barney Rubble, what an actor ! (bonus points if you can pull that reference)

absolutely idiotic. it was a bad year. that went right last year went wrong this year. and that is often the case in NFL. The Niners didn't fire Shanahan and I think they may get back to the Super Bowl this coming season and they were 6-11 last year. Campbell can't magically make injuries better and i think Ragnow blindsided them with his timing a bit. His mistake was the OC hire. I know the D was bad at the end, but we were putting 5th string guys out in the backfield and our D-Line was very disappointing. These are all quickly-fixable things.
