Pretty sure analytics says a 17 point lead with just over 6 minutes to play is almost insurmountable. 14 points, well, as Bills fans, we all know we can find a way.

it's a good lesson in life. Life isn't fair.

So now we could have two "would ya" threads, this one and the OP's.

Was there for my niece's wedding last summer. The town definitely can't handle the summer time traffic...parking was an issue all weekend.

Several years ago...probably 15-20, I heard that the happiest women in the country were from Asheville. Plus two other cities that I've forgotten. My brother has lived there the past 35 years. Probably 10 degrees cooler in the summer than the middle of the state. Lots of microbreweries. Sorry to hear it has lost its charm.

Guessing you didn't read the entire article. He was aware of how many pro athletes ended up broke and did realize he should be smart with his money, just trusted the wrong guy. My defense is that he hasn't been laughing all the way to Chick Fil A or the bank (your words, his were hanging on a beach in the bahamas.) And that had he been handled differently in Washington he could have continued to dominate. Also, at the time of the article he didn't have regrets, he was happy hanging drywall.

So I need to stand up for Haynesworth here. The excerpt below was taken from his "Letter to My Younger Self" located here: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/albert-haynesworth-letter-to-my-younger-self The whole article is worth reading but the most pertinent part below "You’re going to look at this famous NFL head coach in total disbelief and say, “You want to pay me $100 million to grab the center?” And he’s going to say, with a straight face, “Albert, if you have more than one sack this season, I’m going to be pissed.” The last thing you’ll say before walking out of the office is, “Can’t you just pay someone $300,000 a year to do that?” You will lose your passion for football in Washington, and it will be impossible to get back. In retirement, you will discover that your financial advisor has squandered most of the money you made with the Redskins, and he will be under investigation for financial fraud. Thankfully, you will have discovered a passion for restoring houses and buying property during your offseasons. You’ll even open up a BurgerFi restaurant in Knoxville (I know you love burgers). Instead of being on the beach in the Bahamas, like most people probably think you are, you will be hanging drywall in a condo in South Carolina. And you know what? That will make you extremely happy." More recently he has been waiting for a kidney transplant. As of January he had a friend who had passed 3 rounds of donor matching criteria. Haven't been able to find anything more recent, and don't know what Covid has done to the timeline for the transplant. But he certainly hasn't been laughing all the way to the bank.

Dinner's in the fridge

sorry about that

There's a fictional B movie about the bills called Second String. Mularkey actually tried two of the plays from the movie in games. In one of them, Bledsoe starts walking off the field, starts to call a time out but his hands don't touch and there is a direct snap to the running back. Play worked in the movie, not so much in the game. As we're still in the midst of a pandemic, if you haven't seen the movie watch it.

What's forgotten is that in the previous drive Norwood slipped on the extra point and it was blocked, or a field goal would have tied the game after the drop

Harmon's drop against Cleveland would have been a difficult catch.

Pretty much the same here, albeit I'm 5-8 years older. In extremely general terms, each beer adds .02% blood alcohol content (BAC) to the system. The standard for dwi is .08%. So it would seem 4 beers in an hour is a decent buzz. However the body detoxifies at .02% per hour, so if you're drinking one beer every fifteen minutes you really don't get legally drunk until the fifth beer. Even though you say you don't slow down when you're doing what I call a double shift, you really do. Maybe a beer every fifteen minutes for the first 3, every 20 for the second 2, probably a little longer after that. If you have something to eat along the way it will slow down the affects even more. If you're friends are drinking hard liquor or wine, and trying to go the distance with you, it is bound to get ugly. Also, you likely (like myself) never do a shot, which will add that .02% to the bac immediately. I'm guessing many in your circle can't say the same thing. Whenever I'm offered a shot, my response is thanks anyways, I like the journey, not the destination.

Dad made it to 100 Mom still going at 101 83 is a teenager in O years

RIP 83's not young, but not exactly old either.

https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/gm-report/patriots-sign-lamar-miller-one-year-deal#:~:text=The New England Patriots have,could mean several different things.

Don't get me started. Both my parents were golfing at 92. 3 more average years, more than the sum of their parts, Dad sharp as a tack, Mom healthy as a race horse. Overnight Dad had a moderate stroke, they became not twice the problem but the problem squared. Dad died at 100 years, 283 days. Mom turned 101 11 days ago.

left out the super bowl XXV winner

Pretty sure you meant Mih... Mih=

The reviews I read were all positive. Comes with a 30 day money back guarantee so not much risk from that end.

My thoughts as well. Once again I won't be voting for anyone that finishes in the top two.

Have to agree, next couple weeks will tell for sure. Personally I think anyone who thinks there will be a season is setting themselves up for disappointment. Training camps open next week. Once there is an outbreak or two it will shut down quick. Look at what the PGA tour did. At the beginning of day 1 of The Players Championship they were going to play that tournament with fans and the rest of the season without. Later that day it was decided the tournament would finish without fans for the final 3 days, then tour play would stop for 3 weeks until the week before the Masters. Before the end of the day the season was put on hold until further notice. Those that finished the round received some sort of monetary prize, those that didn't received nothing. Hope I'm wrong but I see things coming to a halt that quickly for football. We'll know soon.

What the heck. Now have to order food with alcohol, can't go to a bar just for a drink. Um, note to the governor...many bars sell food as as an extra, they make their money on drinks. https://www.wktv.com/content/news/Cuomo-Customers-must-order-food-with-alcohol-at-restaurants-bars-571791091.html "If you're not eating a meal and you're just drinking, then it's just an outdoor bar and people are mingling and they're not isolated at individual tables, and that's what we're seeing," said Cuomo. "Also, no walk-up bar service - all service at bar tops must be only for seated patrons who are socially distanced by six feet."

Timing was perfect, first the PSA, followed 53 days later by the first win over Miami in a decade and a 5-0 start to the season. Catchy tune fit in perfectly with the resurgence of the team to above mediocrity if not its former glory days.
