This would be tai sabaki, correct? Yes.Tai Sabaki allows one to avoid an attack, in such a manner that the defender who’s receiving said attack ends becoming in an advantageous position. Tai Sabaki is akin to Ashli Sabaki…footwork and Te Sabaki…handwork.

That’s why it’s so great to be a HC in the NFL. If, I mean, when you get fired, and the wheels temporarily fall off, TADA, you’re hired by another team for how ever long that lasts. HC’s in the NFL are recycled like yesterday’s real bad nightmare. The show must go on!!

Once again…NFL HC jobs are like a tight rope walker’s career…NFL/Not For Long.

Well…YEAH!! Why not!! My bubble just got burst!! The NFL will not allow Brady to return to the gridiron for one simple reason: his role as a minority owner of the Raiders. NFL created a rule back in 2023 that prohibits non-family employees of an owner from holding equity in a team. Brady of he QB’d for the Raiders would be an employee; a conflict of interest. Well…darn it.

It’s all good my friend!!

I know it’s not of any consequence nor a possibility but why don’t the Raiders entertain, even if just for a second, ask Tom Brady to return to the NFL gridiron to QB for 1 season for the Silver and Black?!? After all, Tom has an interest to see the Raiders get out of the gutter. Unless there’s some NFL rulings that would prohibit that.

At my age, my only resolution is to awake each morning to a new day.

Cowboys lost to the Giants 34-17. Raiders ALMOST loss against the Chiefs. With only just over 1 minute remaining in the game the Chiefs went ahead 12-11. I was sure that the Raiders were done for once again. That was until the Raiders kicked a 60 yard field goal for the win. Raiders owner Mark Davis has fired head coach Pete Carroll… “The Las Vegas Raiders have relieved Pete Carroll of his duties as head coach. We appreciate and wish him and his family all the best. Moving forward, General Manager John Spytek will lead all football operations in close collaboration with Tom Brady, including the search for the club's next head coach. Together, they will guide football decisions with a shared focus on leadership, culture, and alignment with the organization's long-term vision and goals”. ~ Mark Davis This wasn’t surprising whatsoever. Once again the NFL means, in Pete Carroll’s case, Not For Long. As usual at seasons end, head coaches are fired for cause. Hopefully, for my wife’s sake, the Raiders don’t waste their #1 pick and actually draft some solid players in key positions, namely QB and Offensive Linemen. As far as my Cowboys…well…too bad that Jerry Jones can’t be fired as GM. Isn’t football fun?!?

Why?? His abilities wouldn’t help the Chiefs?!?

Happy New Year to KF and everyone here!! Another year behind us; hopefully 2026 will safe, prosperous, and healthy for us all.

Shannon’s writing skills were a pleasant surprise for me. Perhaps that’s why it’s quite difficult to put her book down.

Like the old adage says…”NFL stands for Not For Long”. Many heads will roll at season end. Cowboys defeated the Commanders with the final score: Cowboys 30 Commanders 23 A lot too late to do any real good for the Cowboys. At least they’re still fighting for the ‘W’. Cowboys travel back east to the hosting Giants for their final game this season. Not like the poor hosting Raiders who lost to the Giants. Obviously the Raiders are worse than the miserable Giants: Raiders 10 Giants 34 Geno Smith threw 2 more interceptions; most INT this season. Geno also gets sacked more than any other QB because he’s afraid to leave the pocket; he’s no legs. A lot of people believe that the Raiders are tanking on purpose to secure 1st pick at draft day. I don’t know if that holds water or not but the Raiders should be ashamed of themselves. Crosby has every right to be upset after the Raiders sat time down for the rest of the season. Maxx did a video showing that he was doing just fine. I’ve also that Crosby is telling the Raiders if they don’t get rid of Geno Smith that he’ll seek him to be traded. Not sure if this is true or not. Raiders host the Chiefs on January 4th.

I believe you’re absolutely correct!! I believe that he wasn’t knocked out, he was knocked to the mat; referee ended the fight therefore Jake was TKO’d.

So far I’m enjoying it quite immensely. At times it’s hard to put it down.

Very interesting topic, Spartacus Maximus; thank you. I believe that this topic must be taken seriously because dire circumstances and consequences arise from an lackadaisical approach. Each USA state has distinct and varied laws regarding self-defense. Know before one acts because there’s a saying that says that “Only a fool has himself for a lawyer.” Several years ago back in 2010, I purchased the following book that might still be of some interest and relevance: Self-Defense Laws Of All 50 States by Attorney Mitch Vilos and Eva Vilos. No matter what, book or not, recent publications or not, I’d still speak with an attorney just to protect myself.
