I think it sort of revitalized it. I think most trace it’s origins back to Philip K. Dick although during his time it just kind of got lumped in with Sci-Fi. But I hadn’t read any such book with the degree of playfulness (well silliness tbh) that Neil Stephenson used in Snow Crash. Samurai pizza deliver men, Bob’s Defense Shack as evil Northrop Grunman, etc.

A little bit like Stephen King in that some of what
makes Phillip K. 
so impressive is his prolificacy rather than some consistent extreme level of quality prose.

William Gibson’s work was pretty influential in defining the cyberpunk genre. Snow Crash was sort of a satirical take of those tropes.
I was about to bring up Neuromancer. That was likely the defining 1980s novel of the genre. Sort of what Snow Crash was for the genre in the 1990s

More like Tom Moore. But if it doesn’t scream Lions to you, then I’m happy for fans who can still be optimistic.
LOL, it’s not optimism. If there’s a recent trend, it’s that any sliver of hope gets us pretty high on the coaches… Higher than they deserve (Austin, Cooter). We have to dig pretty deep into the archives to find a Moore and Belichick. We’re a breeding ground for broken hearts, not star coaches.
Fair and true. Has Bevell got a job?
Yeah, he joined the Jags as OC.
Undlin ended up in San Fran, which is the landing spot for a few ex-coaches and front office people. That’s the closest we’ve been to success… When an ex player, ex Coach and ex GM go to San Fran and they make it to the Superbowl.
