I think MT13 is like AB… formerly great player who took a few too many hits to the head and is now cuckoo.
Definitely needed help in the receiver corps, do they like what they have already?

This disease affects the thalamus’ ability to regulate sleep, and when that happens, sleep is impossible, even drug induced.

Rare but Scary Medical Conditions

Posted by SaintlyTiger88 on 4/24/25 at 10:48 am
What is a rare, but frightening medical condition that you’ve heard of? I’ll start. Fatal Familial Insomnia. It is a genetic and progressive disease that affects the thalamus in the brain, where a person can literally no longer sleep. The disease comes in stages and is always fatal, about 6-36 months after symptoms begin. There is no cure or effective treatment.

To me, this is extremely disturbing because when a person is diagnosed with this disease, all they can do is wait to die and never fall asleep again.
Spin off of the thread from last night about close calls and near death experiences. My question today is, what is the most bizarre death of a human being that you have ever heard of? Basically, the way a person died that boggles the mind how it happened?

Is Julio Jones a Hall of Famer?

Posted by SaintlyTiger88 on 4/6/25 at 11:27 am
Do you guys believe Julio is a lock for the Hall of Fame? Let’s look at his key career stats:

He played in 166 career games
914 receptions
13,703 receiving yards
66 touchdowns

7x Pro Bowl
2x All Pro
HOF ALL 2010’s Team

I’m no Falcons fan, but Julio was always a threat when he played for them. In his prime, he was easily a Top 10 receiver, maybe Top 5? He didn’t win any Super Bowls, but he was a dynamic playmaker that had great chemistry with Matt Ryan in those explosive Atlanta offenses.


Do you think he did enough to get to Canton?

Love that movie. And indeed, that scene with Miguel and Mama Coco is absolutely a tear jerker.
She was arrested for allegedly killing her baby 55 years ago. It was a cold case for many years until recently reopened.

Might be in the market for a used or new vehicle. I personally like the Dodge Charger. It just seems like a lot of people don’t have good things to say about Dodge vehicles. Basically saying they’re crap. I may have heard some of that here lol.

In any event, do you think a Dodge is worth my time and money?
What would you say are some of the most useless college degrees? In other words, the degrees that will never translate into a career that pays well.

Two weddings. The first one was being a groomsman in my college room-mate and long time friend’s wedding. The second one I was in was for my sister’s wedding.
When will a non-hip hop/rap artist play the Super Bowl halftime show again? It feels like every year this is what they are offering. :banghead:
I remember when I had my first beer.
Hey, they probably just fell off the back of a truck :dunno: :dunno:

If they had just gone for the extra point the first time, they would be up 3 points right now. Hope this doesn’t come back to bite them.
Between KC and Buffalo, you would swear the footballs are being slathered in butter!
Think about it in terms of all-time great teams.

The NFC has the Cowboys, 49ers, Packers, Bears, Commanders (Redskins), Giants. Just between those 6 teams, that’s about 20 Super Bowl titles. Not to mention the championships before the Super Bowl era.

The AFC has been more dominant in recent years with the Patriots and Chiefs dynasties. In the 70’s, the Steelers practically owned the NFL. The Dolphins and Raiders have also had multiple Super Bowls each in that era.

I would say both have had their dynasties, and both conferences can lay claim to plenty of prestige. As far as today’s NFL goes, the AFC is king, no doubt.
