People never talked about the 1900’s version of the 'teens when we were kids. Heard about 20’s -70’s - lived through the 80’s and 90’s and then came the ‘Aughts which we called the 2000s, and we never really switched to the “teens” for these past ten years. We called the the 2010’s — which is fine - but the past 7 years were the teens.

How Badly have the Patriots WR corps fallen since the Antonio Brown experiment ended?

How much did the loss to the Ravens matter (relative to the rest of the season)?

Are the Baltimore Ravens peaking too early or are they simply a juggernaut?

How much do the Pats need the win against the Eagles?

Cable is out - internet is out. In the age of streaming videos — i’m really missing my DVD’s and/or VHS collection — i had a great VHS collection 

What is Kanye’s deal? This is a publicity stunt to help himself in some weird way, right? Because if it’s a publicity stunt to help Trump, all Kanye is doing is making himself look like a joke (but not in a ironic way), he’s just literally the butt of the joke. 

Is this career suicide? 

Who is Kanye’s “fan base now’? Who is he trying to make his fanbase? 

hot take - he knows his creativity tank is empty. He knows Trump supporters care way more about FAME than substance. So, he’s appealing to that small but fiercely loyal niche of the trump train to carve out a new fan base. Problem is — he’s alienating people who like good music and who have “common sense” in the process. 

Does he come back from this? If so, how does he come back from this?

Being involved with the Kardashians never ends well for the non-Kardashian.

Tales from Uber and Big East Football programs failing in the ACC

The old big east football teams should've stayed 

Fantasy Football - about halfway through and our team “Southern Charm” looks poised to move to 5-2 this year — much better than our 0-6 start last year - the wide receivers only theory is working

Curtis Fingers is now doing picks for Filibusterfreestyle.com - Big 12 Football and likely Big East Basketball this winter — he went 2 and 2 this weekend (including Kansas state winning outright as home dawgs vs Texas) 

Places listening - Clayton, South Australia/ Belfast N Ireland / Antwerp Belgium and Hofuf Saudi Arabia

Country rankings after US - UK, Saudi Arabia  and then Singapore and Pakistan getting in the mix this week

Have a podcast idea - how the old big east football teams all ruined their winning legacies by joining the acc/ big 10 and big 12 - including Miami, WVU, BC, Rutgers, Syracuse 

Nice the thesis is- the big east gave smaller programs a major platform. Like how psg gets to win French league every year. 

But if psg joined premier league they'd come in 8th or worse and eve play in champs league again (like BC will never play in a New Year's Day bowl again)

The teams that are now in the American and to some extant the mountain west have that same chance 

Miami - Big East 1991 - 2004 Joined ACC in 2004

In the Big East: 1st place in 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 2000, 01, 02 and 03 // 2nd place in 93, 98, 99 // 5th place 1 time in 1997  (2 national titles, 7 national top 10 finishes)

In the ACC: Zero top 10 finishes , only 3 top 20 finishes - 1 divisional co-championship — zero BCS or now New Year’s Six Bowls, zero 10 win seasons 

FAU/ FIU/ UCF and USF starting `1-A programs hurt them a lot too, but losing the mystique of dominating the Big East has hurt them too

Virginia Tech - 1991 - 2004 Joined ACC in 2004

Best argument for an ACC success story - IN BIG EAST 1st place 95, 96 and 99 // second place 94, 97, 2000 

in ACC 4 first place finishes in first 7 seasons in ACC were second or third in the other years but since 2012 they’ve been tied for 6th, tied for 5th twice and tied for 4th — and that’s about when the conference expanded a second time

West Virginia - 1991-2012 Joined Big 12 in 2012

7 first place finished from 1991 to 2011 - most of which came after Miami, VT, and BC left  

5 second place finishes between 1991 and 2011  - 60% of the time they were “top 2” - First 4 years in the Big 12? Tied for 4th, Tied for 5th twice and tied for 7th — though they are undefeated through six games in 2016 

between 2005 and 2010 - six season - they won between 9 and 11 game each year — They’ve only managed to win 8 in the season once since joining big 12 - again that should change this year 

BC- 1991 - 2005 Joined ACC in 2005

5 Top 3 finishes in Big East including winning the league in their final season (after Miami and VA Tech left) 

4 losing seasons  - 4-7 each of those years — Last 4 years in conference won either 9 or 8 games a season

In the ACC  First 5 years they were first or second in their division - but in the last 6 years they’ve never been better than 7-6 and they’ve had 3 losing seasons including a winless ACC year in 2015 

Rutgers - 1991-2013  Joined Big 10 2013

Rutgers struggled in the Big East  only 1 winning season between 1991 and 2004 - but after Miami, VA Tech and BC left — they had 5 winning seasons in a row, 7 out of 8 winning seasons in their final 8 years 

Joined the Big 10 and had a respectable 1st year - 8-5 season — last year they were 4-8 and this year they are going to be fortunate to finish .500 

Once you start falling off in these deeper conferences — it becomes incredibly hard to regain your footing — in the 7 team Big East — you could catch your breath schedule wise - in these 14 team super leagues, you can’t 

Syracuse - 1991-2013  Joined ACC in 2013

These guys just got bad at a really bad time to get bad —  from 1994 to 2001 they were top 3 in the big east every season, including 3 straight Titles from 96-98

Then they fired a coach Paulie P who went 101-59-1 and 73-34 in the Conference (and he was falling off) but replaced him with Greg Robinson who came in last place basically every year and then Doug Marrone who finished 25-25 but 11-17 in conference and he bolted for the Buffalo Bills

Their first three ACC season - 14-23 overall and 7-18 in the ACC - better this season so far, but not good 

Pitt - 1991-2013 Joined ACC in 2013

Pitt had a tough first 9 years in Big East - 1 bowl game and 1 top 20 ranking // but from 2000 to 2004 they had 4 straight  top 20 rankings including a top 10 and went to 5 straight bowl games. In their final 7 years in the Big East - 3 more top 20’s including a top 10 and a 5 straight bowl appearances… they’ve been middling in the ACC an have cracked the top 25 once 

Wine, Wall & Dragons - Season 6, Episode 10 finale show notes

Game of Thrones week 10 notes ( Wine, Wall & Dragons))

Places listening - Japan is 2nd place (Cousin is on vacation there but props nonetheless), Mexico in 3rd, UK and Germany tied for 4th. New places Gambia, Indonesia and Hungary

Top cities listening - Philadelphia, Tokyo, Anchorage, AK, Walpole — can’t really explain who’s listening in Alaksa, but I hope you’re “on the crab”

GV predictions - NIght’s king penetrates wall, Varys kills Kevan lannister, Bran wargs a msg to Jon or Sansa, Brienne dies

DOB’s predictions - Night’s king gets to walls, Cersei blows up kings landing, Catlyn stark appears, Walder Frey dies.

can believe it’s week 10 — KIng’s landing - Cersei awaits trial in the sept 

Tommen, Margery, the whole gang is getting dressed for the “trial of the century” - I haye TOmmen’s face

Lords appears to be a broken man- Margery seems to have an understanding with the High Sparrow - Cersei seems to be dressed in an homage to Prince. Paecelle still hitting the ladies of the evening 

Loras’s trial — he confesses in 3 seconds… to everything. Decides to go “Full born again mode”. Abandons the Tyrell name and Highgarden. Takes a life of celibacy. Tattooing dudes’ heads. Something tells me that Cersei ain’t going out like that. 

On cue the mountain pays Tommen a visit - DOB’s firewater prediction — seems to be gaining steam. Lancel Lannister is “Hip to the sabotage” 

Kyburn has a little kids butcher Pycelle - Didn’t see him winning our sweepstakes — but he just did 

Lancel stabbed by a kid too - Child Soldiers — hitting dudes left and right 

Not sure how i feel about CErsei’s move here ( do i root for her or not) — Margery essentially pulls the fire alarm — Sparrow = hubris 

HOLY COW that stuff is explosive - Cersei drinks wine an gloats — damn! Tommen - speechless - 

Cersei even settles score with that lady septon. Ice COLD. She is the coldest lady in all the realm — and she’s planning to go all ramsay bolton on her 

Ser Gregor took off the mast. Tough look 

The Tyrell’s besides Olyanna are all dead

Tommen just committed Suicide?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Stannis dead? WHO IS KING??? As usual Cersei is winning the battle and losing the war. Son is dead, prophecy is fulfilled.

Frey and Lannisters — at a banquet - Bronn is awesome - Jamie is awesome. Jamie and Frey ( Edmure is alive foreshadowing) - Jamie is calling out Frey a bit — and now he’s calling him out big time - gonna be interesting. 

Sam and Gilly are back — Looks like Old town - home of MIT the Maester Institute of technology - Sam is at the registrar. Registrar is DB - just like in real life. Gilly is looking good - i’m just saying. Sam needs to visit the Archmaester - pretty baller library - Makes hogwarts look like a preschool. 

Up north - Jon Snow / melissandre talking old school. Davos seems pretty hot and bothered about Shireen getting burned (as predicted). Melissandre lobbies to stay alive — Jon sends her south — seems like that’s a bad idea. Davos puts my green onions idea to bed. Not gonna happen 

Sansa shows up — seems pretty cunning and hip to Little Finger. IT’s winter time and Jon and Sansa share the irony of “winter is coming” 

Dorne - and Lady Olynna is in Dorne - Varys is in Dorne too — that’s super interesting (He can’t kill Kevan Lannister, cuz uncle Kev burned alive)

Daneryous and Daarhio Naharas — are breaking up — He’s groveling like the sell sword he is. Bay of Dragons is the new name of Slaver’s Bay. 

Tyrion - drinking wine (like Lannisters do) - talks with Dany — he gives her a bit of a pep talk - Tyrion is the “hand of the Queen” — boom!!! Two time hand on two continents, that’s a record! 

Walder Frey - drinking, eating and talking dirty for serving girls — ohhh boy — the girl cooked Frey’s sons Arya stark — YES!!!!!! That was awesome. Ice cold again. 

Sansa and Little Finger in the Weirwood - Little finger talks about being the King of Westeros —

Bran and Meera are getting dropped off by Benjen — so he’s essentially dead — but a force for good 

Bran - logs on line to the weir wold web - Tower of Joy - Young ned stark - Lyanna Stark — she spills the beans on Jon Stark’s lineage. BOOM!!! 

Jon spills the beans on the NIght’s King - Lyanna Mormont calls playas out. Manderly is in. Glover is in. They are naming Jon Snow the king in the north. Little Finger is NOT IMPRESSED. Sansa and Little finger exchange a glance 

Jamie Lannister arrives back in King’s landing — Cersei is about to do something bad ass that’s apparent — ahhhh she just Sat on the Iron Throne — First female Queen — Mic Drop — didn’t see that coming at all — So maybe she just won the long game 

Jamie looks HEATED!!!

Theon and Yara are sailing with Grey Worm an the Whole Crew of Dangerous’s Army and Navy- VARYS is on the BOAT!!!!! IS that a slip — or did they swing by and grab him in Dorne
