1998 GG Thread "Highway to the Danger Zone"

To start this GG thread I just want to say that there is a bit of a background story with the song selection for this GG thread. Back in December, I traveled to Brazil to visit for my grandfather for what would be the first and last time. At the time, it was a miracle that he was alive because he had an "undetected" aneurysm that by the time it had been discovered, it had covered 80% of his heart. The reason why I said "undetected" in quotes is because my family believes the aneurysm had been there for a few years and the doctors intentionally ignored until they decided to tell him in late November 2022. It's similar to the fact that my grandmother had cancer that they NEVER told my aunt and uncle until two weeks prior to her passing but that is a similar yet different story. If you think the medical system in America is bad, Brazil is easily worse than America because they won't tell you, you have a major a medical situation until it is too late for any sort of treatment. But I wouldn't be surprised if the America gets to that point in the next 20 years but that's for a political conversation for another day. Anyway, during the plane ride to Brazil, it was there that I watched the movies Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. I had never watched them in the past and the main reason why I chose to watch specifically the old Top Gun was because Tom Cruise played Cole Trickle in Days of Thunder which is probably top 5 in my all time favorite movies (yes I'm biased because it's a NASCAR movie). Anyway, with that emotional introduction out of the way, cue the song:

Revvin' up your engine
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
Shovin' into overdrive

Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you right into the Danger Zone

You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go

Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity

Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take it right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into, the Danger Zone

Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take it right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take it right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take

GG Bengals, I'm not one game into this season and I'm already VERY WORRIED. This team looks awful and somehow I cut two players who weren't supposed to be cut. Time to ride this team down to Niagara Falls.

For anybody wondering, that I'm aware of, my grandfather is alive and well for his condition. It's honestly a blessing from God for him to be alive for this long in my opinion considering I haven't explained the details of what happened including an unnecessary 15 hour long surgery that basically "violated him" and nearly killed him.

Ah do not get discouraged. This Bengals team used to be absolutely horrible a few seasons ago and now finally they are, at times, a playoff threat. Your team played a very solid first half by creating a few turnovers and your offense kept matricalating the ball down the field with solid first down runs and those quick passes to the TE over the middle. Also you kept completing that nice 15 - 20 yard post route to the WR1. You kept getting in field goal range and honestly I was worried starting the 3rd quarter. Thank the football Gods that we were able to mount a comeback and Ja'Marr Chase was a little too much for your secondary. Good luck the rest of the season. You have a very formidable team and are a threat in this league.

GG rams, my team didn't play well. Probably my fault though because i didn't scout.
