They sure don't act like it.  I see more skill and effort being made in the College leagues as the kids there truly want to try to get somewhere.. like the NFL.  I guess I prefer the fans at the college games as well.. younger, more energetic, optimistic, less rowdy and boring

One of my fondest memories was attending a Manchester United (English Soccer) match in England.  They actually have a section of the stadium where the away fans have to sit and it's surrounded by security (yellow vests).  Constant verbal assaults on the away fans and plenty of double digit communication (English middle finger) while the away fans chant derogatory songs about the home team.....brilliant!! Never been to a college/pro sport in the US that can rival it.

Pretty sad to me when people, so called adults act like children when it comes to sports. Parents fighting at thier kids games sets a great example. 

I watch football out of boredom during the winter.

Never understood the facination with sports.

There are people that watch sports to 'take sides' and there are people that 'watch the game'. I get just as much from a game of chess actually. The execution of strategies is fascinating. Currently KC has been on fire. I haven't a stable club or team. Just for the one the executes the best. I love a good nail bitter. A game where both teams offence and defense on 'on their game'.

Ravens/Steelers game was better than it looked like it would be. Raven's hung in there and made it a game. 

 

KC faces a similar situation as the Steelers did against a Denver team today that, on paper, should be a push over. These are the games you loose sometimes. Denver has a defense. Will KC take them seriously? Come on Andy...do not snooze here :crackup:

Well I did say the Bronco's have some defense, right?

Seems the showed up! 

 

That was way to close. A lesser defense would have given up 5 TD's instead of 5 FG. Oh and a TD that was just flat missed by both officials and the KC bench. Could have been a blow out...but...even a ugly win is a win. ?

Nope lost the game but made a game of it. Not one sided slaughter.

Drew looked a little rusty today. (Saints v Chiefs).  I had this game marked as one to watch early in the season. A bit disappointed that the Saints were not in top form. Cameron Jordon getting tossed didn't help. Man has a solid right hook, right? They have better in them. So do the Chiefs. Give us some game boyz!!

 

I was actually surprised Drew was allowed to play so soon after such a dangerous injury. A warrior. Pity his next two opponents. :)

1-2-5-6 seeds.

Both sides of the ladder!

Strange.

 

I expect the Browns to come to town with a Steelers high on. KC won't make those same mistakes. 

 

Chiefs, Bills, Packers........................BUCS! 

My upset pick.

32 Teams played full schedules PAYING professionals, 1696 of them plus staff; who earned their position on a pro team to earn their positions on the ladder then those teams in rounds of eliminations pair down to two. These two best teams earned a place to play for the championship. They did this at a loss this year to entertain unappreciative people who like to make the game about them instead of the lifetime achievement it took those players to earn this night for themselves and then shared it with. Personally....

 

I think that makes it pretty SUPER. 

 

It's the Super Bowl not the Super Spreader

    • Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving 
    • Yes, and only a couple years before delivery. 🙄
    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
