Miyagi-Do Karate

Thank you for summarizing this. I couldn’t bare to go onto that horrendous Chiefs World or whatever geocities MySpace website that those chiefs fans use.

Nice article about Damar from Pittsburgh papers: “He’s the role model,” said Kim Spriggs, a family development specialist and preschool teacher for Focus On Renewal. “I’ve worked with a lot of kids from preschool to high school. He’s everyone’s role model. The kids around here adore him.” So much so that Spriggs spent part of Tuesday’s classes having her students make get-well-soon cards for Hamlin, who remained in critical condition after spending the night in the ICU at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Spriggs joked that her kids were updating her on Hamlin’s condition, then recalled how someone last year dressed up as Hamlin for Halloween. Her phone background is a youth football photo of Hamlin. Roberts keeps another from his Little Vikings days, too. “He’s just a genuinely good person,” Spriggs said. “He’s nice to all the kids. He hangs out with them. We’re just used to it at this point.”

Ryan Clark. I think he has sickle cell and playing at high altitude in Denver was super dangerous. Tomlin wouldn’t let him play. It was a pretty huge game too.

36 pages of the same 3 ideas recycled!! 😃 I am thinking we are going to just have to wait and see!

Doesn’t our game also impact other teams Re them making the playoffs, tie breakers, and seedings? this is going to be pretty tricky.

I just don’t think the NFL would create a new rule and tie-break method to resolve this. I wonder if there is any precedent here.

They can’t do this. I don’t think there is a fair way to figure it out (other than to give the 1 seed to KC, who will have 1 more win).

I felt that he looked out of sorts on that long reception to Hurst on the first drive. a weird mistake we usually don’t see him make— was just sort of lost out there. I don’t know though— maybe unrelated.

weird; that one “official” report was they had already flown out.

Completely agree. I too was (foolishly) expecting that thumbs-up sign by Damar. This was a crisis situation. People that have never been involved in these types of situations don’t appreciate how fluid they are and also how mistakes can be made by really Sophisticated people and organizations.

well said.

to be honest, i give the NFL a bit of a pass. Probably messed up. But I am also not sure they had all the info and I think as the seriousness escalated, they figured it out. In these crisis situations, communication mistakes are often made as information is discovered.

Remember when Josh had that super long streak of zero red zone interceptions? I kind of wonder if there is a benefit to taking more risks down there. That is, when he wasn’t throwing those picks, were we scoring fewer TD’s in the red zone than we are scoring now with a few picks?

ESPN seems like it is really cutting it close with this Rose Bowl. Better not delay Showing our game.

was going to mention Jeff Ruby! He has several great restaurants downtown. Back in the day, I used to go to the Maisonette— which was actually considered one of the best restaurants in the country for many years. That, and there were a few other French bistros in Cincy that were great. I remember eating at a few super nice Asian spots on Mount adams too. it’s been a few years since I have been back— kinda wish I had bought tickets for this game!

well, now I am nervous! White, Jackson, Elam, Rhodes, and Benford. That is a solid 1-5 group, IMO.

the thing I don’t get about Cincy Chili is the excessive cheese on top. You walk by a Skyline and see the photos, and they seem to put like a full bag of shredded cheese on the top. That said, I have been to Cincy many times And have never been tempted to get the chili— they have a ton of other great food options there, and so I have never found time to get the chili. Great food town.

even if bad Mike White shows up, I am thinking Jets win like 13-3. It is not going to be a pretty game.

I have to think that the atmospherics of rushing him back for a must-win game had to play a factor in this too. Stinks for the Dolphins, but they have no chance of beating the jets without Tua. Like none.

my own conspiracy theory on Benford is that the IR thing was a bit of a stash, and he has been learning up to move to safety (or at least backup there if needed) for the stretch. We are thin at safety, and are deep at corner. And I have never heard of an oblique sidelining someone for 3 weeks before.

haha— must be a generational thing, because that’s who I picture when I think of Quesenbury too.

At least it is looking clear until then. There was a good chance of rain throughout the entire game earlier in the week. Hopefully when the storms come, they remain scattered and away from the area.

Marrone. (It is a very unisex name too).

I thought Harbaugh shut that door last year. Seems pretty bad form for him to flip.

This guy is an absolute warrior.
