Well, I don't know what the rules are now. Back in the 70's the rule was hair is above ear and above normal collar. Some refs let you get away with hair not being up to code, some did not. I always pushed the envelope which led to many impromptu haircuts. Never thought I was putting the team first by getting it cut before the match, more like I got caught, time to face the consequences (lousy impromptu haircut.) Certainly not something that deserved accolades. Did a little research since starting this and it does appear the NJ rules regarding hair length are basically the same as in my day, but do allow for a hair cover now. Not sure of the particulars on the hair cover though.

Saw this on a local news broadcast. Are you kidding me? This is newsworthy now and causes outrage? Wish I had a dollar for every time I was forced to cut my hair right before a match. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/high-school-wrestler-reportedly-forced-cut-off-dreadlocks-compete-171757102.html

One of the convicted saboteurs was released on humanitarian grounds when he supposedly had 3 months left to live. He lived for a couple more years, or at least several more months.

Well this was a buzz kill way to start the day. I guess as long as the tooth ferry and easter bunny are real I'll be okay though.

Well, I bet Don wishes he did wear Kelso's helmet on this play

Some really depressing stuff on this thread. Guess cliche's get to be cliche's for a reason, most of them are true. There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him.

He was on with Murph and Tasker a few weeks ago. Tasker was saying how not a week goes by without someone mentioning how great it was that he didn't give up on the Leon Lett play in super bowx XVII. Beebe said he didn't mind Tasker getting credit for the play as Beebe often gets credit for his 7 pro bowls and being MVP in one of them.

Way too young, shades of Kent Hull. Wanted him with the number 1 pick. Instead we got Bruce something. RIP

I'll drop it by your tailgait Sunday. Actually I'm having shoulder surgery today, not sure if I'll be up and about by Sunday.

Is to too late to get in on the ground floor as an investment?

Will to survive can be strong. My father actually survived (they call it graduated) hospice care four times. They won't take you in hospice unless there is virtually no chance of long term survival. He finally passed after being on hospice a fifth time (hey, he was only breaking his own record at that point anyways.) Before I brought him home for the last time (it was in-home hospice) the Dr in the hospital had told me death was imminent. Not really sure what the definition of imminent is but he lived for 6 weeks after coming home. But yes, the last 5+ years of his life probably racked up 5 times the medical expenses of the first 95 years. There is definitely some financial incentive. Having spent much of the past 6 years caring for my parents in one form or another, all I can tell you is that you may not be doing the best that can be done, all you can do is the best you can do. If you've done that, there is nothing to regret.

Hope this robot doesn't look for a tip, pretty lousy pour from what I see. Don't think bartenders have to worry about these high priced robots replacing their jobs just yet. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/broncos-to-debut-beer-pouring-robot-at-upcoming-game/ar-BBQPMw5?li=BBnb7Kz

I was thinking the same game. It was actually played Jan 2, 2005. Happy friggin new years, microcosm of things to come. Losing to XFL MVP Tommy Maddox and the rest of the Steeler's second string. Remember being in the Hammer lot listening to the OT victory of...Saints over Jets I believe, which would have put us in the playoffs. I said to the people I was tailgaiting with that we could be so psyched right now. If there is one consolation for you, Steeler fan had to deal with a 15-1 season followed by a championship game loss at home. Guess that's what is called Karma!

At the game. At half time I put my head down, then looked up at my brother and said "this could be our finest hour"...I was only half kidding.

BIg Tree sets up a tent in the parking lot and has free beer/food on game days, usually music as well. Not sure what time but definitely by 10, probably closer to 9. Not sure when inside opens, 11:00 am according to their website Can't help with the traffic question, leave Rochester at 7 myself.

One change to your statement...no need to confine this to American history. See below quote attributed to Socrates, which I first heard in fifth grade. Now that I'm in my 60's, I smile every time my thoughts go down this path and remember it. This is the way things have always been and always will be. "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=408989

I hate that they still get things wrong after stopping the game for several minutes for a replay review. When I'm commissioner, first thing I'm going to do is make all replays at game speed. No slow down/frame by frame close up, if you can't overturn it in real time then it is not irrefutable. Next, I'll live in something besides a 1 bedroom condo.

Almost everyone can, but many need to say"step/chew, step/chew" If not out loud, then to themselves. Which is why so many gum chewers have trouble with conversation.

At 62 my memory is getting better. Used to think I had two grand slams in a little league game, but now I remember a third in that same game! Used to think some of the women I brought home in college were beauty challenged, but now I remember they were all pretty hot! And that 21 save game I had against Spencerport my sophomore year to finally beat those (previously) undefeated arrogant b/stards...actually no changes to that one!

Following his national championship in 87, his 87-88 team struggled. Nonetheless, when one of his star players was arrested, he wasted no time kicking the player off the team as he did not positively reflect the program. How many other coaches would have kept him on pending an investigation? For a long time he refused 9:00 week night games because his players had to be in class the next day. Loved it when he coached the olympic team in 84 (last amateur team I believe) and was asked if the team was every bit as good as it appeared to be. He responded by saying that they probably don't appear to me to be nearly as good as they appear to you to be. Then again, I know a hell of a lot more about than you do. College sports needs more Bobby Knights, not less.

Pretty much middle of the road compared to what I see at the gym

Merry Christmas Robert

Sorry for your loss. My Dad passed away early morning October 30, less than 3 months shy of his 101st birthday. Was still tailgaiting following the Monday night Patriots game when I got a text from his aide at half past midnight that he had stopped breathing. Favorite story was told to me by someone in my euchre club, who told me that at the opening meeting of Lions Club one year, my father was greeting everyone at the door as he was president. As the story goes, the guy in front had told my father that his daughter was getting married. My father's response..."Married? I didn't even know she was pregnant!" Guess this makes two less Bills fans.

Well, for a similar analogy let's look at the AL vs NL all star game record. From 1960 through 1982 the NL had a 23-2-1 record vs the AL, giving the NL a 34-18-1 all time record. It took until last year for the AL to tie the series record and they took the league this year. But the deficit was 16 games, Bills is only 13, and the all-star game has only been held once a year since 1963. So, to answer your original question, it may take some time, but I'm confident the Bills will have a winning record against the Dolphins (the hated Miami Dolphins) in my lifetime. Anyone care to guess (or care at all) why the NL dominated the all-star game in the 60's and 70's?
