  1. Then the answer is obvious. Yes, I think he CAN win a super bowl in his career. Dilfer, McMahon, Hostetler, and Brad Johnson all won rings. All for reasons other than stellar QB play. And I would take Tyrod over all of those guys in their prime.
  2. Who the hell knows? It's a team game. Heck, Matt Ryan is an elite QB, IMO, and I'm not certain that he will ever win a SB in his career. Kelly, Marino, Moon, Fouts...never won a SB. Elite QB play does not necessarily equate to championships, just like having a mediocre "game manager" type QB does not necessarily exclude a team from winning a championship.
  3. @matt_schneidman Tyler Roberson walked out of the locker room as reporters entered and Jim Boeheim said, "You're not leaving that locker room. Come here." Uh huh....
  4. I could be mistaken, but hasn't this happened several times within the past couple years to visiting teams playing Buffalo?
  5. Okay, you were absolutely spot on with this one. The first four or five episodes were good enough to reel me in, and then the end of the season really sucked. Nothing made sense...I mean it did, but it was dumb. I'm not even going to go into all of the plot flaws for fear of giving away any spoilers. The ending was really, really bad. I will never get those 8-9 hours of my life back. What a disappointment.
  6. I was thinking this before, but now I am almost certain, that Boeheim is done, checked out, phoned it in. The way he is utilizing his players is puzzling. I stopped watching after the first half. The stench was in the air.
  7. I'm pretty sure the re-runs are on Spike TV. I know I watched a couple episodes the other night. Good show. I also like Alaska State Toopers.
  8. Interestingly, you just made me more eager to watch the finale. The feedback I have received from others is that the ending is tremendous. No turning back now!
  9. Wow. What a difference a season makes. Here we are talking about extending Kujo (and I agree), and prior to the season he was regarded as a bust and a horrible draft flub by DW.
  10. Sip o Sunshine is very good. Seems to be harder to get than HT though. Fiddlehead makes an incredible IPA. One of my favorites is Foley Brothers out of Brandon, VT. It's even smaller than Alchemy in terms of production, but my guy at the neighborhood beer store sets me aside a couple 4 packs whenever they release a batch. 14th Star Tribute out of St. Albans is also very, very good.
  11. It's become sort of a joke here in Vermont in that everyone who comes to visit is so mystified by the legend of HT. They are willing to drive around from store to store (30-45 miles apart) to obtain the holy grail of beers before it is sold out. I guess it is no big deal to me because I live here and can get it just about any time. I usually bring a case or two back to CNY for Christmas to hand out to family and friends. Is it good? Yes. Is it good enough to go on an all day scavenger hunt to get a 4 pack? IMO, no. There are probably 5 or 6 small batch IPA's just in Vermont that I like just as well or better.
  12. I just finished episode 5/8 last night. While I don't think the show is a bad as you describe, I have lost interest somewhat as the plot unfolds. There have been a couple times my wife and I have turned to each other and laughed about the ridiculousness of certain aspects of the show (e.g., the dance). We are going to finish watching, as it is interesting in some respects and is quite suspenseful. I would give it a 6.3/10 JH rating....a decent show to get you through a week of your "show hole." Funny about your M Night Shamalamadingdong comparison. Last night I said to my wife that the "vibe" of the show reminds me very much of The Lady in the Water.
  13. Never trust anyone named Mitch.
  14. She looks just like Sweet Dee Reynolds.
  15. What?! Where have you vacationed in the Caribbean, bro? The slums of Haiti? I'm with you on the Europe thing though. Those Viking river cruises look pretty sweet. Not cruise related, but the wife and I are planning a 2 week trip to France. Can't wait.
  16. I'm still not convinced the team has moved on from Tyrod. That said, I'm with the others who feel that Romo is just too fragile. Still very good when healthy, but he's one good hit away from spending the rest of his days in a wheelchair. Too risky. Interesting idea though...
  17. I think it's going to be Haley. Just a hunch.
  18. Bistro Henry and The Perfect Wife - both in Manchester, VT Bistro Henry is a semi-casual french restaurant that happens to have the best prime rib on Saturdays. Served with this unreal demi glace and homemade french fries that are out of this world. The Perfect Wife is more formal. I usually take Mrs. Hammer there for special events. Modern, farm-to-table type cuisine. They do these seared diver scallops with some kind of citrus sauce and a lavender polenta. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
  19. I watched the first 2 episodes of The OA on Netflix last night. It was pretty good. Reminded me of Stranger Things without the 80's vibe. Very interesting stuff.
  20. The wife and I did a 5 day Carnival cruise to the Bahamas. First stop in Freeport and then Nassau before heading back to Jacksonville. Loved every minute of it. Only thing was that we ended up spending more money on booze than we did on the cruise itself. If I did it again, I would definitely do an all inclusive deal. I've heard Norwegian cruise lines are good.
  21. Will he bring his dragon glass to Winterfell?
  22. Just don't ask to shower at my house.
  23. Green Bay is blocking teams from interviewing AVP, no?
  24. My wife is a great driver...as long as she doesn't have to go in reverse. She has no idea how to use her mirrors, and does not turn around to check her blind spots. In 2016 alone, she hit my Father's brand new truck twice, and my car once (all while backing out of the driveway). My Father didn't want to report it to his insurance, so I had to pay him a total of 1300 out of pocket. Her most recent crash into my car cost me 1000 in deductibles. I'm amazed, frankly, that she was able to earn her driver's license.
