  1. Alas, this is a family forum. What you suggest might well end up with warning points.
  2. 1) The mug shot made me think pass, but the subsequent pictures by shady and seasons show that she does indeed clean up pretty nice. 2) I can hear Brent Musburger now...kids, this is what you end up with in Alabama if you don't play quarterback
  3. The announcers made the point several times that there was no affect on Country House, and the best horse crossed the line first. But other horses were affected, good chance places 3-5 would have ended differently, and the rules call for disqualification if the outcome (not just the winner) is affected, which it was.
  4. Turns out he didn't
  5. Yeah, it's really tough to judge a UDFA class until 2-3 years later. There should be a "redoing the 2016 UDFA signings" article instead of trying to judge this years class?
  6. Don't really like horse racing, but I have to admit, Seabiscuit and Secretariat are two of my all time favorite movies.
  7. For stuff like frozen vegetables it might be their seconds. Friend of mine worked at Dannon, for stuff like yogurt they just swap out the containers, wouldn't make sense to clean out the vats. I would think its that way for most liquids.
  8. Next month it will be 11 years since Tim Russert died
  9. Most store brands are name brands re-packaged and sold at 3/4 the price give or take.
  10. I heard a comedian once that pretty much summed up my feeling about bowling...called it athletics for people that have lost the will to live.
  11. "Dad, let's run down this hill and @#$% one of those cows" the young bull said. The old bull replied "No son, let's walk down and @#$% them all."
  12. almost 3 pages and no link to Jim Mora? It's time...never gets old (OP can replace playoffs with super bowl)
  13. I'll be disappointed if we are drafting in the top 10 again next year
  14. Didn't have as many yards as Fant or Hockenson, but had more receptions than either.
  15. Like to see Singletary pan out, get something for McCoy prior to trade deadline when a contender whose running back just got injured will overpay.
  16. More like I've learned to be patient and manage expectations for these things. Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the 2016 draft: 1) Shaq Lawson: Then - was psyched he fell to us at #19, but things fell just right with the first 18 picks. Thought he was top 10 talent (Sound anything like things falling just right with the first 8 picks for Oliver to fall to us at 9 this year when many thought he was a top 5 talent?) 3 years later, book may still be out but at best he's been a disappointment. At least he's still on the team, only one from this draft that can say that. 2) Reggie Ragland: Then - unbelievable we got him at #41, was hoping he would still be available to us in the first (had to trade away assets to move up a few spots and nab him at 41, sound similar to Cody Ford at 38 this year?) 3 years later, well, we did use the pick we got for him as part of the deal to move back in to the third for Knox, but I'm sure Beane would have figured a way to get back there without the pick. Did he ever play a down for the Bills? Wish him well, but certainly a huge disappointment. 3) Adolphus Washington: Then - another value pick, lucky to get him this late in the third. Our defense will be great this year!! 3 years later - we can have him if we want him, no one else does. 4) Cardale Jones - Then: He'll be able to learn for a year or two under Taylor, then we have our franchise quarterback with a fourth round pick! 3 years later, know we got a conditional pick for him, maybe one this year's 7th rounders? Not sure. Once again, huge disappointment. 5) Jonathan Williams, 6) Kolby Listenbee, 6) Kevon Seymour - Didn't expect much from these three, maybe a little from Williams. Got even less. 3 years later, Seymour is still in the league, the guy we traded him for (Kaelin Clay) is not. So the overall grade I would have given for this draft would have been B+ in 2016. Three years later, a generous D. In fairness that was the last Whaley/Ryan draft, 2017 seems much better at this point, but I'll give my final grade on it next year.
  17. Thanks for posting. Hope the analysis is right. I'll give mine in three years.
  18. They didn't like our third round picks, or, I suspect, the fact that we gave up two fourth's for one of them.
  19. For what it's worth. We get above average, so do Jets and Cheats. I'll follow up in three years with my grade! https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-2019-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams
  20. Moved up to 38 to get him. Gave the pick we received for McCarron back to Oakland or Los Vegas or whoever they are to move up two spots
  21. My father recently passed away on hospice care, 3 months shy of his 101st birthday. It was his fifth time on hospice. At some point he had to just be breaking his own record for being kicked off of it (what they call graduating.) It's my favorite charity.
  22. I was pretty psyched once the draft got to 7 and Oliver, Allen, and Sweat were all left. Guess Sweat's falling to the bottom of round 1 means not everyone believe's reports about his heart were false.
  23. 162K on m 2007 Civic. 45K on my 2015 Civic.
