  1. At Ohio State, Dobbins was outstanding at flat passes and screens, and with his speed he was very effective. He's basically a nice upgrade over Singletary and finds the holes like Thurman did. Instead of having two different RBs we have one bell cow in Dobbins... we have to upgrade out OL anyways, so if we had drafted Dobbins we'd be looking like the Chiefs with Helaire.
  2. Us not drafting Dobbins may have been the worst decision of the Beane drafts so far... our front seven is going to need a MAJOR upgrade after this year, and Milano may be too expensive to keep. Do you see Epenesa being an impact player more than Dobbins would have been?
  3. There are many Doors songs that are played over and over again because they were big hits, but this Doors deep cut is one of their best. Once you hear it, it's a song that stays with you... and this video perfectly matches the lyrics. You can just picture Jim Morrison roaming Sunset Blvd. on a Saturday night...
  4. 'Cause it appears to be a long Appears to be a long Appears to be a long Time, such a long, long, long, yes, before the dawn It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a long, yeah, time gone But you know The darkest hour, yeah It's always, you know it's always You know, just before the dawn And it's your dawn, yes, it is
  5. "I'LL CUT YOUR HEART OUT WITH A SPOON!" - Plaintiffs vs. Robinhood
  6. I'd encourage you to check out the show Finding Your Roots as they discuss Jewish ancestry and the Pale of Settlement extensively throughout the seasons. Also there is a great research group on Facebook called Tracing the Tribe - Jewish Genealogy that I would highly recommend once you get an idea as to where your line going back begins in Europe. Once I take my DNA test I might have to do the exact same thing as I have German ancestry which is possibly of Jewish origins so I follow anyways to learn. I learned a couple of years ago my great great grandmother and cousins survived the Nazi occupation of Norway and I had ZERO idea... my great grandmother left Norway in 1912 for the USA, but her mother survived until 1950.
  7. That's definitely true... my great aunt was in the same situation in 1909 but her daughter wasn't put up for adoption. I lost my Dad 20 years ago and my Mom is almost 80... that's the one part about getting old that they NEVER told me about is losing so much family.
  8. Well your stress levels considering the DNA testing is different but that's good you are considering it. The people that had NO IDEA their family ties were a lie I can't imagine that thought process. My mother went to Lew-Port High in the early 60s and she always said it was a great area to grow up in at the time. It's rare to find people on TBD from that era.
  9. I've been doing genealogy for 28 years now and I haven't gotten a DNA test yet. I started off because in 1992 my father was convinced that we were part Native American and I wanted to prove it through research. Well, I found nothing, zero, nada to prove it at all and now I'm up to thousands of ancestors. Problem is my sister still believes it and if I take the DNA test and it proves my research was true, she'll flip out like she did when I suggested it years ago. As an aside, to those of you who found you had different family and it revealed shocking secrets, I really feel for you. That sucks.
  10. YES, you got it!!! John Dillinger, shot by G-Man Melvin Purvis at the Biograph.
  11. Nope! He opened the Flamingo in Vegas long after this person died.
  12. No, Capone was a stockier man with a pretty sizeable head. This infamous gangster was dapper... i.e. he was a snappy dresser.
  13. Yes, he was involved in crime and was a gangster! Now we're getting hot! The photo was definitely taken in 1923.
  14. No, not a politician. His commitment was cut way short thanks to his actions. His popularity was not in any of those, and in fact it was part popularity and part infamy.
  15. Old school bad sequel... Chinatown was just an amazing film all around... the acting, the plot, the music... watched it the other night and it's still a classic. The Two Jakes? Can't stomach it... it's as if they stuck Jack Nicholson in a movie and expected him to carry it as Gittes. Simply awful.
  16. Every time I see your face It reminds me of the places we used to go But all I've got is a photograph And I realize you're not coming back anymore I thought I'd make it The day you went away But I can't make it 'Til you come home again to stay
  17. He was never an actor.
  18. He was in the Navy, but not that long.
  19. No, not Bills related at all. Very astute of you! Nice observation! Nope! Definitely was born before Ralph Wilson. Not music related.
  20. Since it is obviously Marv Levy and we had a winner... here is a challenge!!! Have fun
  21. So now I have to wonder... the question was earlier if he was an athlete... you you're saying he WAS an athlete, just not professionally? I get this I've Got A Secret mentality right now and I love old game shows so don't judge LOL
  22. Is he a politician?
  23. Ed Edwards?
  24. The series Goliath also focuses on water rights in California for a season, a much more modern example obviously. Check it out if you are able!
  25. You nailed that assessment... I'm a lot more familiar with the eastern part of the state and that's how people see it. Upstate NY is that area just outside of NYC people commute from... I mean you COULD lump the Catskills in with it from an earlier time when the Borsch Belt was swinging, but now it's what you describe it as.
