Somewhat off-topic, Led Zeppelin ripped off early and often, but Achilles Last Stand is a masterpiece. It’s easily their best song.

After his death, he became a demigod.

He still voted demicrat though.

When the numerous legends become facts, print the numerous legends.

He was replaced by a strong female character so that ancient Greeks wouldn’t appear misogynist.

Achilles is the bane of aging athletes. Aging athletes often tear their Achille’s tendon when they least expect it. Jets fans beware. Jets QB Vinny Testaverde in his late 30’s suffered an Achilles tear at the beginning of the season The Jets season collapsed . Will it happen again with Aaron Rodgers?

‘The Song of Achilles’ by Madeline Miller is a good read. I enjoyed it.

She also wrote ‘Circe’ and ‘Galatea’ which are in my stack to read.

I remember Brett Favre spent some of his post-Packers exile with the Jets too, and didn't accomplish much beyond sending pics of his junk to some female Jets staffer who didn't want them. What is it with the Jets and aging QBs from other teams?

The moment he kills her ... their eyes meet, and he falls in love with her, but it is too late.

I can't count the number of times that's happened to me.

You have to be kidding. Testaverde was never even close to as good a QB as Rodgers. And Rodgers was MVP in 2020 and 2021.

And then Heart ripped off "Barracuda" from Achilles Last Stand.
