I'm still reeling from David's passing. My heart goes out to his family. I went through my dad's battle with cancer last year (dad was 10 years older than Bowie). There are lingering after effects in my life. It does make me happy though that David was able to get a last, great album out & his musical staged. I'm sure it gave him some comfort. I've been on a serious B

The Hawks are going to beat the Panthers soundly on Sunday. They had their iffy game against Minnesota Sunday & I believe that has given them the boost that will put them over the top. With the exception of the Rams game, the Hawks have been on a roll since the bye week. & they have beaten significant opponents. A. rizona, Pittsburgh, Minnesota twice. Cam Newton might be better physically

QuoteCristiano Radtke Quotewinter Quoterebelrebel Thanks, BV, for making this thread sticky. That means a lot to me. +1. Agreed. There's always going to be some great musician RIPs, but some deserve an IORR community sticky thread and I appreciate that this is one. Thanks BV. Yes, thank you BV. Bowie was very important to me. Equal footing with the Stones.

The playoff rituals begin. These have been developed over the last 4 years & there are Stones aspects. Have worked pretty damn well so far for the most part.

Quotenightskyman Hope Washington beats Green Bay,just to make NFC playoffs more interesting. Also for same reason want to see Minnesota somehow beating Seattle. And why not, Kansas City beating New England. Don't think Minnesota (Bridgewater in particular) is quite ready for the next step. Nice season & progress but think next year more probable. GO HAWKS!

Quotemighty stork Has the"Beast" been practicing at all or is he coming in cold? Not many players can step back in after a layoff and perform as they have in the past. Just curious.
