I agree, but there's some potential up-n-comers out there. But, longevity was his "superpower". There's plenty of skilled quarterbacks out there, but . . . . 22 years . . . . at his level.
I never liked Brady when he was at New England because I thought his winning was related to Belichick's constant cheating and extreme rule bending.
I have been so impressed by how wrong Brady proved me to be when he went to the Bucs and kept up that performance level.
The guy is one odd duck in so many ways but in football is definitely the GOAT. I can't imagine anybody passing his records.

Yea GO BENGALS! I hope they win and I also hope that they give credit to the kicker for getting them trough this season. Burrows has done an excellent job of keeping the team going but the fact is the kicker has won most of the games they have won this year. I would like to see him get some credit too. Although I did hear some credit going his way when they beat Tennessee.

This is from a motorcycle show called "Throttle Out" which is sort of like the show RoadKill on two wheels. They built a two wheel SUV and rode it quite a way, including off road a bit. Really fun show but I think it only went two seasons on Motor Trend. Some episodes are on YouTube.
Saw this article from Motorius today. Glad I don't live there.
Well, news has come out of Paris, France where there’s a serious push to get all internal combustion engine motorcycles and scooters off the roads entirely. That’s right, not just stop selling them but to make driving them anywhere in the city limits illegal.
This fight isn’t about how much carbon spews out of the tailpipes of motorcycles, which is probably what you’re assuming. Instead, it’s all about noise pollution. That’s right, Parisians are sick of their city being loud. Instead of realizing that’s what you get by packing so many people into tight spaces, they’ve decided to blame motorcycles and scooters for their woes.
A noise plan for the City of Paris was presented last October, with 30 actions proposed by city administration. However, an initiative sought to collect ideas from regular citizens. One proposal which gained a lot of support was the banning of internal combustion engine motorcycles since all-electric models produce little to no noise.
The author of this proposal is quoted by the local news as saying, “Outright banning thermal PTWs is therefore a commonsense solution to solve the number 1 source (by far!) of noise pollution in Paris.” A total of 944 voted for this proposal and 307 voted against it.

Wonder how they would like it if horses replaced the scooters and bikes?
The ban threat is wider than that in Europe.

The modern terms for "Mods and Rockers".So, is a "tosser" the same as a "wanker"?
Not to be confused with "Forum Moderators" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mods_and_rockers
Correct SirSo, is a "tosser" the same as a "wanker"?
On the slopes in Austria. Masks (ffp2) are mandatory when in the ski-lift (right word?).

From the Greitspitz (Austria) at 2800 meters looking into Switzerland. What beautiful day! Last night we had 1,2m of snow so was surprised skiing was this good.

Lots of credit to the kicker that I don't know what his name is but Smoking Joe Burrow got him in field goal range.
It gets a bit cold (to -50f) & windy (max 231 mph) up there, but fortunately not this day. Per wiki: "On January 16, 2004, the summit weather observation registered a temperature of −43.6 °F (−42.0 °C) and sustained winds of 87.5 mph (140.8 km/h), resulting in a wind chillvalue of −102.59 °F (−74.77 °C) at the mountain"
The day we went up, it was windy too. (no surprise) But the temp was probably in the low 40s (F). A good jacket, and you stayed warm. It takes a "special" kind of person that wants that as a duty station.

The last time I rode up Mt. Washington was in Sept. '18. Clear as a bell and no real wind at the top. Got lucky that day, visibility wise.
