I was thinking about the way the season has gone and our current quarterback situation. Suddenly remembered this video that someone posted a couple years ago, didn't take long to find it. Since once again we find ourselves in the familiar situation of looking forward to the draft at the halfway point of the season, thought I would put it up again. We need to be able to laugh at these things.

Not quite as electric as the 07 Dallas game but that was a beautiful indian summer day combined with Columbus Day vacation from this side of the border, Canadian Thanksgiving from North of the border, and a 14 year hiatus from MNF. Took me over 4 hours to get to the game from Rochester back in 07, just the normal hour and a half yesterday. Two man band in my brother's lot was nice. Even got them to do a parody of the "We don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan" song that Ohio state fans sing before the annual Michigan game, replacing Michigan with Massachusetts and Ohio with Buffalo.

It took 3-1/2 pages for someone to mention this? With gang connections and more recently his car being involved in a hit and run, I seriously doubt he is even a blip on the McD radar.

1992 Bills Win AFC Duke wins second straight NCAA BB tournament (led by local Christian Laettner) Sabres comes close against Bruins in playoffs Braves win National League pennant BIlls make playoffs setting up comeback game to start 93 We got the live Canadian feed in Potsdam. Thrilling, nerve racking.

Think I'm going to do myself a favor and not click on the link...probably have nightmares just from the little piece of the article quoted in the OP

Great stuff, thanks for posting

Yeah my class has stayed pretty tight all these years....oh wait, you're probably referring to my parents' ages.

My mother turns 91 in a few weeks. It’s really amazing how well she’s doing. You’d never guess 91, and I just knocked on wood. My parents turned a combined 200 years old two days ago...mom 3 months past her 99th birthday, dad will turn 101 in 3 months (if he makes it, don't think that's in the cards though.) IHS class of 75 has smallish reunions every year in Durand Park, attended by 30-40. Big ones every 5 years attended by 200-300. Try to make them all.

If memory serves (and it always does) there was a Hogan's Heroes episode where the inmates of Stalag 13 were responsible for thwarting the Nazi A-bomb efforts

Wow, what an incredible story. “There was no plan. We were just hoping for the best.” Glad things turned out the way they did or we could be living in a different world.

Ralph did a lot anonymously through the years. Thanks for this Ralph, Happy Birthday errrr....Rest in Peace,

How old are millennials before they stop having temper tantrums?

Funny (ironic funny not ha ha funny) thing is I'll be 62 next month, haven't had a hangover since the early 30's (no I didn't quit drinking.) To the OP's queston: Have a 99 year old mother and 100 year old father. Been my experience that nothing good happens after 95. If I could stay 27 forever, might be a different answer.

This will be up to the band. With the latest weather report, logistics for the band may be an issue. Still two days, forecast will hopefully change.

Thanks for the invitation, I'll stop by. Hammer and Bill are good buddies. Lot is small, house actually used to be owned by Hammer's mother. Renters live there but event parking is an expectation. Most of the people that park there pay up front for the year. Not really competitors, plenty of people to go around.

Don't think it will be a problem but let me check with my brother and get back to you.

As always I will bring plenty of beer. Will be across the street from Hammer's, in my brother Bill's lot. As this is our annual Newf game, there will be a band before and after game.

Correct grammar please. Should be "Same as Bills' lots." - notice the correct location of the apostrophe. For a second I thought you were giving my brother a dig.

That's horrible...please tell me you're kidding.

20 years ago (give or take) a bar owner gave me a Jim Beam key ring. Left it on the bar while I went to the men's room. When I returned the guy sitting next to me said I was lucky it was still there as he loved Jim Beam. Still bothers me that I didn't give it to him, I never used it.

To paraphrase Woody Hayes, he was probably upset that he couldn't go for three

I would like to see all Thursday nite games be between division opponents after both come off of bye weeks. Then you would play that same opponent 11 days later, home and home series. Advantage would be #1 Thursday games would not be sloppy due to short preparation week. #2 would be that there would be no bye week advantage for either team, and no 11 day rest advantage for teams coming off Thursday nite games. Could still have the season open on Thursday under this scenario, however the next couple and the last few weeks would have no Thursday nite games. I wouldn't miss them.

That's good parenting!!
