    HFD! My 87 y.o. Father is coming over. A full day of hearing how tough it is for him. I mean I get it. He can only ride his bike for 7 miles. He can only walk 3 miles a day. He recently started to wake up at night to pee. He doesn’t wear glasses, hears fine and just dug out a 100 ft. hedgerow, clears and snow blows his 130 ft. driveway, cleans his 1600 sq. ft. house, it’s pretty much spotless. New car every 3 years, drives everywhere.
     

    …..and tell him he’s fortunate? I don’t dare.

     

    (just to add, my brother, sister and myself are definitely fortunate)

     

    Sounds like good genes! Take good care of yourself because it sounds like you’re in this for the long haul!

    I don’t know why teachers want to get paid for teaching more than one child. Greedy bastards!

     

    Once they’re in front of a classroom teaching one kid, might as well add 20 more kids to listen along for the same price!

     

     

     

    That sounds like the theory behind home schooling Travis Henry’s kids.

    meh. Both are frustrating. 
     

    I’m not loving a debate between whether it was better to watch Phillip Rivers or Donovan Mcnabb?  Just spitballing two good QBs without rings from 20 years ago
     

    I think I’d be ok tanking a few seasons in exchange for an appearance. 12-5 and Super Bowl run followed by 5-12 or two 11-6 seasons losing in the divisional? I think probably give me the first

     

    Both can be frustrating. 

     

    There is no arguing which franchise I prefer.

    I’d agree on a lot of the newer “mumble” rap, I think that stuff is trash, but actual lyricists, or artists who can rap with a message? Great stuff, with the peak of artistry in the 90s.

     

    I’m just kidding, every generation does stuff other generations don’t get. For the record, I was the right age, but could NOT put up with disco.

    So what’s worked better?  
     

    Addressing the WR and neglecting the line?

     

    Or addressing the line and neglecting the WR?

     

    Early playoff exits at this point of the Allen/McDermott era are absolute failures. 
     

     

     

    Addressing the Oline. 

     

    The Bengals seriously addressed WR, and they have missed the playoffs in 3 of the last 5 years with Joe Burrow at QB. He’s not chopped liver.  The Bills addressed the OLine, and we are regulars in the playoffs and a top Super Bowl favorite. We didn’t win the SB (yet), but we were in the playoffs, while the Bengals sat at home. 

     

    Some people want to whine so badly about our GM and HC they lose sight of reality.  The Bengals are doing better is not a hill I’d want to die on.

  6. What is the Jets Super Bowl worth now? Broadway Joe made a few bucks. 

     

    I’d rather spend my money on travel and tickets to enjoy the games.

    These divisional round exits keep getting more and more fun!!

     

    It beats not being there at all. The Bills have a chance when they are in the playoffs. The Bengals do not when they are sitting at home with most of their cap space going to just a few guys. 

     

    I would have a hard time being a fan of any NFL team from Ohio.

    Bengals bungled their way to a Super Bowl a few years ago. 
     

    That must have been neat for their fans. 
     

    The following year, they Bungled their way past a wonderfully prepared and enthused Bills team and went the the AFCCG. 

     

    I bet that was pretty cool for their fans too. 
     

    Seems to me the Bills bungled more than the Bengals. 🤷‍♂️ 

     

     

     

    How did they do in the playoffs last year? Or the year before? They’ve been to the playoffs twice in the last 9 years. Is that great? Are they wasting Joe Burrow? 

     

    Give me our Bills, please and thank you.

    I have literally nothing to say about this crappy AI picture. There's not enough alcohol in the world for me to drink to come up with something witty to say about this picture. Maybe someone here who snorts pink cocaine can help a brotha out.

    That’s not an AI generated picture. That is a screen shot from Sanders’ dreams!

  10. I can see both sides, honestly. If you are a jackass and ruin your career, why should we still have to pay you? Of course I can also understand “why should I be the first guy?”  I wouldn’t sign it as a player, and I think I’d have some advantage because of the Bengals reputation. The Bengals look stupid for asking to change the terms, and will look even more stupid if/when they cave. But I don’t think it’s unfair. 

     

    The Bengals just find ways to look stupid and cheap.

    I just watched that for 40 minutes thinking "wow, they're spending a long time examining his knee" then I realized twitter plays videos on a loop

     

    That’s a long time. I’ll pretend to think that you were just being funny, but I have my uncertainties. After all, it is TBD.

    Like I really dont want to panic... and he wasnt rolling on the ground... but geez... cmon man too soon... lets just hope for a bit of a strain. 

     

    ….and be glad it happened in early June instead of August or September. 

     

    What was his injury last year that caused him to miss games?

    I think we need to make Jaire an offer anyway.  But Simon will say is the 101 st player I want to sign 🤣

     

    Do you think the actual number is higher? Or lower?   :)

    Holy Grail

    Goodfellas 

    Field of Dreams

    Caddyshack

    All The President's Men

     

    This is a good list to me, though somehow I’ve never seen more than snippets of Goodfellas.  You had the  first mention of Field of Dreams which I enjoyed. I’d add Contact to that list, not because it’s a great cinematic masterpiece but some things just speak to you more than others.

    Streaming platforms 

    They are great, until you lose internet connection! We had a storm Saturday and have not had Spectrum internet since, hence no streaming anything including regular DTV Streaming programming. The wife went to the trouble of resetting everything and then getting a new modem. Nada. She even reinstated the DTV dish for a few channels at least, but of course it’s raining so that doesn’t work either. 
     

    All this great technology is great, until you lose it. VERY frustrating!

  15.  

    My wife was recently informed that her position was eliminated as part of a reorganization. That sounds like a bad thing, but it’s a GREAT thing! She was “eligible” to retire in about 13 months. She would have worked much longer if she was enjoying it, but that was not the case. It was hell on earth. So, they offered her a package paying her NOT to work most of that time. It’s not just about the money. They say if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump right out, but it you put it in water and slowly turn up the heat they will cook to death. That is what was happening to her. It’s happening all over corporate America. 

     

    SO…… the great part is having my wife back. We are going to a show tonight and doing things we haven’t done in years. It’s so great to have her back relaxed and tension free. It’s a whole new life for both of us.

    Venice was my favorite, just so unique. My favorite part was just walking around the back streets and canals.

     

    Rome blew me away for the history, mind-boggling coming from a country whose history is so short. I'll never forget walking inside the Pantheon, had no idea what it was, just came across it randomly, walked in - and it took my breath away.

     

    The city of Florence was my least favorite. Didn't care for the high end retail shops mixed in with the culture. But outside the city was cool. Went to Tuscany (allegedly we were in the room where Machiavelli wrote the Prince)  and did a day trip to the Tower of Pisa which was a must.

     

    That was what I was afraid of. Venice is the one I have not seen, and it’s kind of tugging on me. I’d like to include that in a trip also seeing Lake Como and some of Switzerland. We just saw the Amalfi coast on a day trip and I’d love more time there, but I want to see more new places.

    On Netflix starting today.

     

    Thanks. Obviously their music was part of the backdrop of the times, but it was never really my thing. While I never went out of my way to hear their music, I’d love to see their story if it’s easily accessible.
