  1. Pay me more than $45,000 a year and I'll pull the heater out of my face hole. This is old time 50s-60s football! I'm a car salesmen in the offseason, dammit!
  2. Alright, Baby, let's get those mock drafts in before the real th...I don't care. I suffer from football opportunity cost syndrome. I tried to avoid having any favorites in the draft because my team will likely end up with one or none of them. Additionally, unless they move up my team isn't picking until 11 pm. No hand ringing necessary as I'll just click it on at 11 unless someone les me know they traded the pick.
  3. "I Score", a game created by my brother and I, but likely an off shoot of similar creations by others, was a game played along a 20 foot narrow enclosed and sided pathway by the pool table in our basement. Ping Pong (or table tennis) paddles were used with a table tennis ball (sometimes racquet balls were used when TT balls were all smashed). The object of the game was to hit the ball on the wall behind the other player (about 4 feet wide and 4 feet high) upon which you would then, to no surprise, yell "I score!" Games were usually to 10, with matches being a best of three. Physical contact was a necessary part of the game (scrums in the middle were a key part of the excitement...who is going to get there first? Should I wait and play D?) and usually devolved into fists fights and eventually going to mom crying (mostly me as the younger). After three seasons, 1975-77, interest in the game waned. A ceremonial last match was played in 1980 and now it exists only as a memory for 2 brothers. ...but boy are they still good memories to this day.
  4. Honestly, was it terrible? No. Was it entertaining? At times. Will I watch again? Not only yes, but I will likely watch any time I can. I might catch tonight's game that was postponed due to weather. Why? I just like football. Will I keep asking myself questions? This might be it, but we'll see.
  5. Not even 25 years old. everything still in front of him. terrible. life is so freaking precious.
  6. But it is very important to be absolutely clear on this TWB...he still has slimeball misogynist ways. Lest anyone think he was giving those up in pursuit of cheating his follow owners. Apparently some people can very easily do both.
  7. Throw out man or woman, husband or wife* and just think relationship...because what I have read over the last 48 hours or videos that I have seen OF THEM discussing their lives I don't see anything freeing or open. In reality it seems very dysfunctional (and no not just from a societal norm standpoint, but just from a witness evaluation or smell test of "this isn't right and they really don't seem happy") and even a layman can see the stress it is putting on at least one of them in the relationship, and possibly even two if you think that Jada's Alopecia could be stress related.** (* Meaning if this were two men, or two woman, or two non-gender specific people it doesn't make a difference...something just isn't right) (** Yes, of the different types of clinical hair loss Alopecia can be caused by stress, but I am not a doctor and I have no idea what the circumstances are with respect to hers)
  8. I feel better knowing 28 other NFL teams, including the Super Bowl winning coach, were on his side.
  9. A pro who no doubt had about 5 in the chamber, instantly ready to go, and chose the higher ground. At one time the biggest comedian on the planet (and still a great one) and a former Oscar host... Stood there with his arms behind his back, took the hit from a bigger man, didn't flinch, didn't fall, didn't retaliate, and kept it civil after a very uncomfortable situation. I thought all of this quickly afterwards and I just don't know why it wasn't talked about more.
  10. Fingers crossed it gets the Bills a 3rd round comp. Oh, and I like this move for Pitt, but I also had him pegged for New York or Indy (even before they got rid of Wentz I thought he might go there). My buddy was saying back in November he would end up in Pittsburgh.
  11. This is going to fix everything for both teams. I can feel it. ...it could be my lunch, though. Yep, it's my lunch.
  12. Wilson makes them obviously better, A.S., but it was very frustrating watching them from over here in the AFC East. Every time the Bills needed them to win they would F it up. No, as constituted last year they were not only not a good team, but they weren't even as good as their record. ...but I respect their D, I kind of respect their running game, and I think (and I have always thought) Russell Wilson is the real deal. A QB of that caliber jus can't be discounted. Side note and this is NOT hindsight. I loved him coming out of college and saw a number of his games. I thought he was a perfect second or third rounder for the Bills and he'd back-up Fitz for 1 or 2 years and then take over. When the Bills moved up a few spots in the third round and he was still on the board I couldn't contain myself. ...I should have... TJ Graham, WR. Never heard of him before they picked him. He caught 54 passes and 3 TDs in two seasons before he was gone from the team. He caught 61 passes in his entire 4 year career.
  13. BTW, A.S. your division...is getting absolutely ridiculous. What. The holy. Hell. I am making a plea right now that the Raiders trade for Danold, because why not? Everyone is going all in out there like they have a killer hand that has to get played NOW. It is going to be a blood bath...but so much fun to watch. There will be so much good football, coming off a season where there was some damn great AFC West games.
  14. Yeah, I still don’t like him, still don’t trust him. He is the starter in 2022, yes. No way would I say or guarantee he is the starter in 2023., but in. He reviewing the trade, for third rounders that were part of the deal..ok, maybe. However, he still is in an iffy division so he has that. Eagles better and the cowboys…well…the cowboys. Dabol will make giants better but maybe not right away.
  15. Poor leader not clutch best days behind him not worth a first not worth a second possible worth a third and fourth throw in good chance I could just be spoiled at the position
  16. He's already been with Dabol for a year. And there might be a good chance a lil' dab a Dabol'l do ya.
  17. The Commanders made a great move. This Qb still has so much in the the tank and so much upside you-I-can't do this. blah.........................................................who can do this? Honestly?! What is... ...why would you do this, Washington?!
  18. Iran has to be pissed. Sure, you never want to be last in anything, but you also don't want the obscurity of being second last. As Norm MacDonald used to say the world's worst job is assistant crack whore.* (* Don't bring up crack whore trainee as that is just more of the same.)
  19. Very respectfully, mclumber, like they did with Crimea? Yes, the end result there being that no one did anything and just allowed it to happen, which may turn out to be very different in this instance. ...but while he continues to press forward, while the convoy keeps rolling, while major cities are in jeopardy of falling the world just... ...
  20. @CayceG @CitizenVectron I always hoped, you guys, that you wouldn't be back here having to cover the story of such deeds and atrocities again like you did so well back in 2014 here at D1P. I hoped... #UkraineStrong #IStandWithUkraine
  21. I thought one of the biggest tragedies of the 2020 season was when Joe Burrow went down. Watched almost every play of his before then. So raw, but so good. This game...Jeepers it should be a good one. I still may not watch. I couldn't bring myself to watch either Championship game or highlights or talk. Other than who won I have no idea what happened. I am a football fan, but I am old and I am tired and I am bitter. Not angry at a single soul or team. I've been to a number of Cincy games and I am happy for them (Happy for Stafford, too). I have a fair number of friends down there. One of which was espousing the success of the team and do so as an ode to her late father who passed in 2018...mad respect for her. However, I was hoping for the same sort of moment of feeling as my father has been gone now the last 14 years and this was one of those things that, although I talk to him and he is in my prayers, I thought it was just going to get me a even closer to him after all this time. It was this team, this game, that bonded us from my childhood, to my high school play, through the decades, after the passing of mother, to the games we went to together to that time headed home after the Giants game (the last home game of the year) where I mentioned, "be thankful, Dad, and don't worry about the loss. You never know, this could be the last Bills game you ever see." In which he replied, "Yeah, you're right."...and it was.
  22. I can’t do this. I’m punching myself in the nuts until I pass out. I’ll find out tomorrow who wins.
