twentyfive: The way you see it - Brady taught Belichick what it take to win! That's pretty funny considering the Stud QB he was at Michigan. Brady was a good college QB, but not so good to be a 3 year starter at Michigan. The way I see it, Brady was teachable and absorbed just about every morsel of knowledge available to him in the Patriots system. Once he mastered all that was available to him in football knowledge and physical improvement, he actually pursued more knowledge outside the Patriots system. At that point Brady, resented not being treated as an equal to the coaching staff and his problems became an issue for both parties. Brady certainly has the capacity to contribute to the Buccaneer knowledge base, but I would suggest 75% is Patriot process and 25% Brady centric. What certainly is fair is that the functioning Tom Brady of 2020/2021 brought a lot to the Buccaneers and the Buc's cumulative performance dwarfed the performance of the Patriots this season in Tom's absence.

"The nicest thing is no one goes to the can any longer." Funny how that works! I want to thank everyone that contributed to this thread on their recent flight travel experiences!

I figured that "2 hours later" was when the 2 for 1 drink special expired!

I am barely younger than you and I watched more of Homer Jones and Fran Tarkenton playing on the local television broadcast than I ever saw of Babe Parilli, Art Graham, and Jim Nance. A Springfield MA television broadcast was outside the NFL’s heavily imposed 75 mile “blackout” restriction and the stadiums of the day (Fenway, Alumni, Harvard U, et al). Obviously your Dad loved football and a drive to Springfield was very doable from your local.

I go back to a childhood in a Boston south suburb where Giants football owned our television screen, and you got our Patriots broadcast strictly from the local radio broadcast. The Patriots team of the mid sixties couldn’t sell out any venue that held more than 12,000 fans. The Jim Plunkett era Patriots was the first sign of life (a pulse) in a Patriots NFL existence,in 9 yea and the occasional presence on TV. The Grogan era loss to the Raiders was heart wrenching for this 18 year old, and suck it Oakland - The tuck rule was redemption for Phil Villapiano’s non call on Russ Francis! I think Villapiano LDK’d during that ride!

As a Pats fan, you gave me a WTF and moment earlier today! I thought they were offering free drinks in Pasco County this morning - Legs and Eggs to start the work week!

Loper: Congrats on the positive change! It depends on my situation, but my modification efforts ITC usually target a spray tan user or the glitter offender first. I always wear golf attire when clubbing and usually have a pullover or an extra golf shirt available for the perfume issue. If a dancer I know (and like) does it, I'll address it fairly nicely. In 2 cases, 2 separate dancers suggested it was improper attire on my part and I suggested that they should do what they wanted, but stop asking me for dances. Funny thing (kudo's to both ladies), future interactions between us began with both noting a modification of their behavior.

"Even before this season: * 11 Superbowl appearances and 6 rings to show for it." I interrupt this Blutarsky moment to suggest that it really was 9 Super Bowls, but that the 6 rings is accurate!

Tampa's defense won this game, and Brady contributed a lot to the outcome in the games first half. In the second half, when Brady wasn't busy trying to give the game away (ala Favre, Brees, Manning) - he contributed a little (every other pass). Green Bay's defense lost this game! No Super Bowl contending team allows any receiver to get behind them with 8 seconds left in the half. Green Bay's 2 penalties for too many men on the field were priceless! Aaron Rodgers wasn't blameless in not putting up 31 points, but Matt LaFleur lacked comprehension on multiple occasions yesterday! On at least 4 occasions, Green Bay let the play clock run down under 1.5 second - allowing JPP and Shaq Barrett to time the snap and disrupt the offense. Yes Rodgers contributed to that, but it was a team effort to not manage the play clock time after time. Even bad teams run a hurry up offense on occasion!

Out of fairness Dave_Anderson, they are pretty much the same thing. I'll take the strip club loser card, as that's my chosen flavor of entertainment.

The OP does need to consider why he would ask this question on TUSCL, in that it's a strip club forum for strip club enthusiasts. Strip club visits can certainly be useless, but I am a treasure hunter that doesn't mind dumpster diving for that hidden jewel. Given the OP's sensitivities to noise, effort and the fact he's not guaranteed a prize with his happy meal - I suggest he finds a different sandbox to play in.

I've seen some gems at Lamplighter II (not named Gem), but yeah 85% fugly. When I've entered both MA contenders for Worst 40 - the shot clock in my head allows 1 drink (3 to 10 minute consumption time) to identify any talent or I'm out! I've been in worse, but it's not my desire to retool the bottom 40 by identifying the true dreadful contenders. On second thought - The Matador Club in Valparaiso FL is a viable "bottom 40 candidate and fills the Northeast Fl void that Fishhawk is campaigning for. Panama City Beach FL has a couple of prime candidates as well, but nobody is motivated to review the prime clubs and pre and post visit. The Green Frog on Okaloosa Island was a perennial bottom 40 pick before closing down in 2018!

They need to hit home runs in free agency and the draft, even with the improved draft position and large cap space. They prefer to shop and pick in the (now closed) Filene’s Basement 50% off bin.. Every 8 years or so - they pick exceptionally! Is this the year?

I’m rooting for a good game on Feb 7th! I root least for a Brady return to the Super Bowl, but if he were to get there the Bucs and Brady will have earned it. I don’t envy a Florida team playing outdoors in Green Bay in January to get there! A Mahome’s/Rodger’s match up would be intriguing, but any of the 4 left have intrigue. As a lifelong Patriots fan, I’m not seeing the easy pieces coming together in this offseason to rebound so easily and contend next year. Now if multiple teams have major money woes that make more good talent available at cheap dollars and the Pats money situation is stellar - then perhaps it will happen. There would have to be sell offs like the A’s in baseball under Charlie Finley!

I spent half of it on home upgrades and banked the rest.

The "unpublished reviews" do offer more context than when I last visited 8 months ago - #reviews/last reviewed date.

I second Wallanon's first post. I would like to see the approvers of prospective reviews be given access to some additional club info" that allows them to look at a mediocre review (in context) that might still confirm that a club remains in business. The details of a Club Desire or Follies have been well documented in the past, but there are clubs in business that have no reviews for 18 months to 3 years. I note (for instance) that Mario's Showplace is listed as closed (here) in the MA club list. I agree that they are closed, but it's a "Pandemic closing". Mario's renewed their liquor license with the town of Webster for 2021 in November 2020. If we were being consistent, Foxy Lady Brockton has been closed the same amount of time with no suggested update or closed designation. Perhaps any club in MA that hasn't been open since March 2020 should get a "Pandemic Closing designation or note". Another note or 2: Suggested Drink Hustle designation for clubs (outside the norm for that state/region as defined by those a little more fixated on the alcohol costs than I. Yes - I would be grateful for the warning that buying a dancer a fancy concoction will cost me over $15 to $30 a pop. A warning on the dive club that charges the same lap dance price as the nicer gentlemen's club across the street with no value add in entertainment.

I had a club fav who wanted me for an OTC relationship with her mom. That took the wind right out of my sails. Compared to conversation about my dick (much ado about nothing), the mom thing was a low blow. Her mom has a face - only a daughter could love!

It makes it easier to see the talent working the shift and allows me to tip. admire, and perhaps inquire about a dancer's availability to entertain me. It is more important to me in clubs where I don't know who is working.

I haven't been in any club for 10 months. I will be vaccinated before I return. I rely on the more adventurous to report on the temperature in the hobby.

Malice has worked 2 clubs for a number of years! I've seen her at RI Dolls and Club Alex's (when open) quite often.

Yes an ATF can take a demotion!

Since there are always one or two PAWGs in some clubs that I visit (I know that there are clients for that), but I've found no woman that would allow me to overlook seeing that much ass and enjoy their entertainment offering. While my preference is a spinner type that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed "rounded", but Ms, Banks is far beyond my capacity to deal with that much ass (paid or unpaid).

Well the good news is that her mother did not step in as the substitute kisser!
