The condiment ceremony is typically about 90 minutes before kickoff, so yes, you’d need to get there a bit sooner just for that. Being your first time there is a whole lot more to soak up and enjoy. You came all this way, make the most of it and enjoy!

Years ago I worked with a young lady who was expecting her first child. She came to me one day to ask what it would be like, and I gave her some lame answer off the top of my head. A few hours later I went to her office and tried to better. I said it’s hard to describe, but the highs will be higher and the lows will be lower when you have a child. Everything is magnified, and you won’t believe how much you can care for something even more than yourself. We’ve been thru the wringer with our kids, with both good and bad like most people. It’s not just one child who is affected by difficult things, it affects everyone in their universe. Life teaches you to heighten your empathy, because you know what it’s like to have something so dear to you struggling. I hope and pray that one day this will be remembered as “when we turned the corner.”

Keon was a second rounder.

Sorry….new guy here…my bad….

It doesn’t matter if Brady and Bellichick never had dinner together, their souls shared that deep craving to skirt the rules to achieve a full life. I wouldn’t trust Brady for a second, and as an opponent I’d be aware of his presence and very careful what I shared.

I have an appointment with an ortho doc next week. They will confirm that my rotator cuff is currently shredded, then get me to PT. My goal is to do enough PT that I can get back on a tennis court and do my best, without having limitations (or pain!) created by my shoulder. It seems simple enough, but this is a battle I’ve been fighting for decades and I want to put it to rest. I just don’t heal the way I used to, so I need to make it happen.

If you go to Schwabl’s, it would be a shame not to have the German potato salad. I flew in a week ago today and took my wife there straight from the airport. Be forewarned, the building is so old the men’s room is no bigger than the bathroom on the plane….but at least it’s inside! There are a lot of great places for BoW and I tried several of them. There was just not enough time for all the foods I was craving!

Bigger guys generally do not move as well as smaller guys. Don’t try to lose sight of that, it’s an important point. Yes, they all need to read and react….then they need to get there. That is where speed comes in.

So, guys who can’t cover as well? It’s a balancing act.

Nothing personal, but I bet you’d get higher ratings amongst this crowd.

Somehow I get the impression you could be in any seat, and make it front and center.

Anything beyond beating the Dolphins on Thursday night in Week 3 is jumping the gun. If it’s music related, my wife seems to care about the SB halftime shows, but she also likes the commercials while I’m more concerned about the football. Just the football. .

Yes, it is a bit amusing. I don’t think there is a there is an actual point, it’s all shtick.

I don’t like when the love/hate pendulum swings too far one way or the other. I can see him having a hat trick with a false start, a hold and a drop on Thursday before getting injured in a freak Zamboni accident. I’m just looking for some balance.
