Xavier Worthy injured during 1st practice as a Chief
Jauronimo replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thats a sweet return profile. It would be an even better return profile had he put next to nothing down and locked in a 30 year mortgage at 5%. -

Thats a really inefficient use of your cash. The goal of any investing is maximizing return on your cash. Theres a reason why people who can buy in cash still finance their purchases. The return profiles on a levered investment are much more attractive. You have immediate returns regardless of the financing of the investment as long as you have a tenant. Ideally, you put down as little cash as is needed to close the deal or secure a good rate and the rest of the cash is available for other investment. Just make sure you have enough monthly income to cover debt service on two or more properties for a spell and can still afford McDonalds. -

Keon and Worthy will be inextricably linked for their entire careers much like Allen and Mahomes. Who will have the better career is completely unknown. But one thing is clear: you should diversify your portfolio by going all in on the Missouri real estate market. -

When you're barely ever home, maintaining a house is difficult. I doubt he intends to spend his offseasons in KC. For all we know hes out there looking for the right house as we speak. He was just drafted and its still a month before camp begins. Silly criticism of a kid. -
Rags are doing a better job of converting on their chances. Panthers might dominate play for 10 minutes and then give up one fast break and they're pulling it out of the back of their net. And its not because Bobs is playing poorly. Barkov could have iced that game himself. If Okposo could elevate the puck he'd be a perennial 15 goal guy!!

I'm no scout but this doesn't look very smooth to me.

If you line up your best 6 pass catchers on every play I would agree that maybe we have a depth advantage but that isn't how the game is played. Pick any 3 pass catchers and tell me who is going to consistently get open against our opponents best cover guys? We had Kincaid, Shakir, and Cook last year and they were lining up with Diggs. Our issue is that if defenses took away Diggs then we couldn't consistently beat man coverage or get quick separation off the line. Samuel has some shiftiness but hes not an upgrade over Diggs. Coleman isn't known for winning quickly. I expect Kincaid will take a step forward but I think Shakir will figure out what Davis learned the past few years: life is a lot easier when you are the 3rd or 4th receiving option on any given play.

Trent and Jauron. Watching Trent run out of bounds 7 yards shy of the sticks on 4th down after intentionally running out of bounds and taking a 1 yard loss on 3rd down was the most gutless, pathetic thing I have seen on a football field. He would mercifully lose his job to Fitzpatrick after that shameful display in Green Bay. https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay/_/gameId/300919009 Jauron's whole game plan was to keep the game close enough that we could potentially tie with a last second TD, an onside recovery, and a field goal. He would rather take the sure thing and lose by 7 than try to win and risk losing by 17. Together, they were a great match.

He doesn't have time for a break. He's got a meeting with HR in 3 minutes and its going to be a long one.

I hope so too but unless Groot takes a major leap or Von turns back the clock, I don't see it happening. The only thing we have added to pass rush is a late round, situational pass rusher. I think Epenesa is who he is and Oliver is close to his ceiling.

Harrison Butker…oy vey…what a commencement “speech”
Jauronimo replied to eball's topic in Off the Wall
The planet was a veritable garden of Eden up until the early 1970s. Everyone just got along. This kind of radical social upheaval we see to today was virtually unimaginable in the 60s. Then women started wearing long pants and popping contraception like tic tacs and its been nothing but hell for regular guys like us since. -
Well if it happens all the time then it couldn't possibly be wrong. How many people have you "knee'd in the nuts" at work?

Look, we are both men of the cloth. We jabber jaw, we go tit for tit. You win some, I win some, but at the end of the day theres a mutual respect. One thing that is not even up for debate and is that this country is miles behind the UK in bird law.

What NFL rules changes would you like to see?
Jauronimo replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Its important to remember that football was invented so that young men who were born in a time of relative peace could prove to their father's generation, who fought in the Civil War, that they are also manly and capable of violence despite what their lack of confirmed kills would suggest. Football was invented and early games were so brutal that were frequent casualties. Its time we get back to our roots. Football is about futile displays of brutality and proving one's mettle. Its not about entertainment and commercialism. -

Jauronimo replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
The game should not be bound by time. The match should continue until one side concedes victory. Its how football was played originally and it still works in Test Cricket. -

What Bills road trips are you doing this year?
Jauronimo replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Houston is a 0 hour drive for me. I think I will go to that game. The only road trip I'm taking is for the Bills home opener. -
Ball position is just one aspect. When was the runner down and did he maintain possession of the ball?

Josh thinks he can come off the bench in the NBA
Jauronimo replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybe. Theres an incredible skill component to hockey too. Being a great skater and great athlete is not necessary to be a great hockey player. The greatest hockey player of all time had a training regimen of 6 pushups in the offseason. https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2023/08/13/wayne-gretzky-six-pushups-92-goals/ -
Totally agree. Everything about the construction of this roster up until this offseason was about scoring fast, getting leads, and rushing the passer/forcing turnovers. That strategy made a lot of sense. Of course Von got hurt and didn't bounce back and we couldn't quite execute the rushing the passer part but we could score. Then after the Miami game, which was a masterful show of what this team was designed to do, we couldn't score fast, slow or otherwise and ball control became the symptom rather than the plan. I am highly skeptical of this team trying to chew clock and put together methodical drives. Yes, they have done it. When you no longer have the option to score fast you do what you must. And Josh was highly reluctant to accept that we couldn't score fast. Denver, New England, and NY Giants were all games where our inability to score quickly left us having to defend with 2 minutes left and no chance to answer. The KC game we were in no mans land. Theres no way we really intended to salt 8 minutes of game clock and punch in a TD at the buzzer. No way that was the plan. When you give yourself fewer drives by design you better score TDs every possession and play stingy defense otherwise you don't keep pace with premier offenses. If this is really the plan for the 2024 offense then the plan sucks.

I am an amateur but I have spent countless hours soaking up as much as I can on this website. Its a lot like here but without all the weirdos and #######s. In other words, its nothing like TBD and not nearly as fun BUT it is useful. https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php There is even a great thread where a dude who owns a highly regarded pizza shop in Buffalo, Jay's Artisan Pizza, is helping people re-engineer a classic Buffalo style pie. https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=30764.0

Proofing and fermentation get used interchangeably but proofing is specifically that fermentation taking place after the dough has reached its final form. I don't consider a ball of dough to be the final form whether its thin crust or pan. I would refer to that step as cold fermentation (or room temp fermentation) but I know that others call that step proofing. Pan pizza includes a distinct proofing phase after shaping and stretching the dough in the pan but before baking which is what I believe 716 was referring to. This step is only a few hours at room temp. You don't stretch a thin crust pie out to 16" and then let it rise again for a few hours was my point. Any pizza place operating in New York or Buffalo worth visiting is fermenting or proofing dough for at least a good 8 hours and likely closer to 24 or 48. I believe the legendary DiFara makes a same day dough while places like L'Industrie are rumored to ferment 72 hours. Lucali rolls out their dough with a wine bottle and even in pizza crazed Brooklyn people wait in line for hours. I wouldn't want to push all that gas out of the dough after spending so long letting it ferment but no one pays for my pizzas. My friends are all free loaders.
