Hard times are when a man has worked at a job for 30 years, 30 years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say "hey a computer took your place, daddy", that's hard times!

Damn RIP.

About 30 or so years ago, mybuddies and I were playing football in a lot behind a gas station just off 29 in Reidsville.  Some guys started cheering & we look up to see Steamboat,  Flair, Koloff, MacDaniels & Rhodes. 

Nice guys, chatted with us while the buses were refueling,  & I said "wait... I thought you guys hated each other." Rhodes laughed & said "don't believe everything you see on TVkid."

He was part of the era of wrestling that I really dug.  Him, Flair, Nikita and Ivan Koloff, Tully Blanchard, Legion of Doom, etc. etc.    

I remember seeing Ivan Koloff in a Kmart about 10-15 years ago doing some promo work for a local wrestling match.  Nice dude.

​they all used to drink at the same Hotel bar here in Richmond, Va. back in the late 70's early 80's

only scuffles they got into were with local tough guys or loud mouths (dumbasses)

those were the days......................

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
