Edit PS: there is a double call back there, for those who know

2nd Edit: since no one responded I guess my post was less interesting than I thought (wah)
Rocinante was Don Quixote's horse (he who tilts at windmills)
Rocinante is the name of the space ship in the song Cygnus X-1 by Rush.
I don't listen to Rush. I know exactly one of their songs. Geddy Lee's voice just grates and their lyrics were always the worst intellectual posturing. And yes, I said I know exactly one of their songs, but that does not mean I have not listened to more.

As for Quixote's horse? Been a long time since I read the book so I am forgiven for not knowing the name of a horse, even if the horse is somewhat important to the story.

Geddy Lee's voice is nails on a chalkboard to me. I run to turn off Rush. One of the few people I cant make it through a song.

Tonight's game vs the Broncos should give us a clearer picture of the state of the KC team we'll play in the finale.

This Chiefs team playing tonight would still kick our ass. Must lose to the Giants.

Well that was way closer than it should have been. Den seems suspect to me. 10-7 win vs us. Barely escaped this game.

Dayum dude, it was just a f[raiders_icon]cking comment on a sports forum, you didn't have to over think the f[raiders_icon]cking shit out of it.

Chill brah.

Not sure if it’s been posted on here but Maxx has been held out of practices on Wed and Thurs (DNP) with a knee injury listed.

Honestly, tank aside I’ll be sick if he plays through a knee injury in week 17 given that we have 2 wins…

Not a fan of Rush myself for that reason and I also put Robert Plant in that same voice category

Without Plant and his pal Bonham, Led Zeppelin, at least as we know it, may have never been formed.

Im fine with that. They're one of the most overrated bands ever imo. But seriously, f[raiders_icon]ck Plant and his stepping on a rusty nail screeching voice
