  1. If he is not doing the job of the title assigned to him, it’s “something”, and “stunt” is about as good of a word as any.
  2. If he was brought in to repair fan relationships and build goodwill, it’s a bit of a stunt. He wasn’t much of a GM. Just sayin’……
  3. But at least he was OUR stunt. It’s not like we brought in Darth Vader as a figure head.
  4. Belichick never got over the hump without Brady. Andy Reid didn’t win a trophy….until he did. I want NOTHING to do with Belichick as a person or a coach. Belichick has shown he is a lousy GM and doesn’t always play well with others. Fortunately, you are correct that I don’t think we have to worry about it.
  5. I would have absolutely ZERO desire to have a new coach come in at 71 years old. You are not “building” anything with a 71 year old HC, you are pulling a stunt.
  6. Knee injury back when they were not as good with repairs. I think he tried to come back, but it just wasn’t the same. It’s easy to forget now, but back then an ACL was generally thought of as a career ending injury.
  7. I was at a sales meeting at work and they did a “guess who this was” thing. Buried after an avalanche in Switzerland for some ridiculous time. Not sure if he got his ski back. 😂 Crazy story!
  8. No, the title is not an opinion. The bank would not lend him the money according to reports. There is no opinion in that.
  9. It can be like no other loss. We are on my 8th Golden, so many have gone before. It was always hell. On another page of life my wife loses her father and mother with more grace than I can muster at the final events. BUT THEN, we lost our 14 year old best friend a few months ago, and I have never seen her devastated like that. And yes, there are tears running down my face, even now. Step back and give yourself a chance to grieve.
  10. I’ve never wanted to be banned more! I’m so….conflicted. Should we start a $5 pool to guess who steps in it first? 😂
  11. Braggart! I’d have been in those shoes (let’s call it shoes) if given a chance. It might have saved me. Everybody is different. Who’s to say? 🤷‍♂️ 😋
  12. Park City is beautiful. That was the last place I skied, and I’m OK if that was the last time I ski in my life. I love the trips, the falling snow, tubing, snowmobiles and sitting by the fire with a beverage. It’s the actual skiing that I don’t love about “ski trips”. I have no desire to experience ACL surgery. I just had my annual eye exam and my Doc recently tore her ACL taking the kids skiing. I don’t want to join that club. .
  13. Thanksgiving is my wife’s meal. Somehow that just came to be the case, just like we became the place for family and friends at Thanksgiving. It just happened that way. 🤷‍♂️ Other than Thanksgiving I’ve done 90%+ of the cooking in recent years. I enjoyed it and had by far the more forgiving schedule, even before I retired. In recent years I’ve lost the drive to cook because the world has gotten so picky about what they will eat. It’s not just the vegetarian DIL, it’s damn near everybody! Growing up food was put in front of us and we ate it or went hungry. Now? I understand allergies are real, but some people just choose to be picky. One will do chicken or fish, but no red meat. Other won’t eat fish (or anything that “swims in it’s own poop”). Some won’t do pasta, and shrimp can be hit or miss. I’m tired of trying to please people, so I don’t. I’m not making different meals for the people coming over, so I might do an entree option that folks can ignore, and the wife loads up sides and things from Whole Foods. I enjoyed creating meals, but I got tired of trying to figure out who would eat what.
  14. Vegas IS known for great buffets. This could be a nice fit.
  15. Levi was no Leodis, you say?
  16. On the bright side, our draft status will be greatly improved! It’s a bit nostalgic to be thinking draft by Halloween. Oh, those were the days……
  17. Now that actually surprises me, as I think of him playing at the Rockpile, but I’m realizing a LOT of things were not the way you remember them.
  18. Oh boy, that matches my memory. Are you with California Psychics? 😂 I think I was on the far 40 looking left. I think that was my first ever sports related “OH! This is NOT GOOD!” moment.
  19. Did he get hurt at a homer game? I have this vision of him to my left and it got ugly, but that might be some replay I saw. What a shame! No telling how it might have turned out with today’s medicine.
  20. Are you owning that rumor? 😋 I love internet rumors!
  21. Much like Tom Brady’s father for many years before him. 😋
  22. I’m just hoping he’s got some Zay Jones (did he really have 82 catches last year?) in him and he can work it out, becoming a productive player in this league. Some guys need time to grow into themselves. I hope he’s one, because he’s with us now.
  23. Coming from Green Bay he’s going to love that we have an Applebee’s and a Dave & Busters! 😋 It seemed we had to do something, and when you are in a pickle you might sometimes pay a little extra, but it sounds like this isn a guy we can use. We needed help. 🤷‍♂️
  24. I voted Butch Byrd, but James needs to be an option. What a terrible shame that was.
  25. I went to Xavier and got a good taste of Cincinnati. In addition to the areas mentioned, I lived in Hyde Park one year and spent a lot of time in Mt Lookout for Zip’s and visiting friends. I still get back now and then and it’s MUCH better than it was back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. OTR is as fun now as it was dangerous then.
