Augie

We had season tickets and I loved the NBA back then. After we lost the Braves my NBA interest has gradually declined to the point that I don’t even watch the Finals, and when sports talk radio goes to the NBA, I go to another station. He was a person with a family, so there’s that. .

I think if you watch the game, you can see the difference when he goes out. We were clearly an inferior defense when he left the game. Don’t let the hate get in the way of watching the game.

My son tore his ACL and we were given three options. Cadaver was one of them, but despite being treated there is no guarantee you won’t catch whatever the cadaver might have been carrying. The second option was part of your own patella tendon, but this can have significant negative residual effects on the patella. The third option was using part of your hamstring. The hamstring again has the advantage of coming from your own body so there is no introduction of foreign material/disease. They say it heals long term with fewer side effects than using the patella. We went out of state to get the best possible advice and surgery and chose the hamstring for his surgery. We were relieved to hear that Tiger Woods had his ACL surgery the same day as our son and he also used the hamstring. I’m sure he had good advice. Having said that, I’m not sure to what extent this may or may not leave the hamstring susceptible to pulls or other injuries and for how long.

Does anyone know what they used for the graft? Was that ever announced? My son used his hamstring for the surgery and there IS some trauma there as well. I won’t pretend to know if that would have any effect at this point, but it makes me wonder.

This could just be me, but it feels like even prior to the injury Josh was, for lack of a better term “flicking” the ball and throwing off platform more than in the past. Is that just me? His motion seems just a bit different at times. (If you want to call me crazy, this should not be near the top of the list of reasons why.)

Some people like to use the “all opinions should be valued card”. Some other people realize that that is often used as an excuse for trolling behavior. I’m not talking about anyone in particular, but it’s pretty obvious when you see it.

I think it’s because we were the early game when everyone was pretty sober. And hours later……they just don’t remember watching the later games. 😋

Exactly, and this is worth repeating. Simply “counting games” without any context is misleading. It’s not just the “how many”, who they are is critical and it has hurt our defense dramatically. Would you take 6 injured ST players, or one guy named Josh. The “who” is a big deal. I get it, the numbers are surprising….until you look beneath the surface.

Marino was the only gunslinger there. Fouts threw long but was schemed open, and Montana was more precision. Very few NFL players could DREAM of making some of the plays Josh makes while he makes them look almost routine.

The most amazing part to me was that Josh didn’t fall over and do his tumbling routine at the end. He lost some points from the Russian judges due to the lack of difficulty.

…..AND, let us not forget that he’s played his last down as a Bill. That might have been my favorite!

Relocation due to snow has happened twice in 49 years. The stadium decision is made. If you don’t like it, I suggest you get over it rather than make yourself miserable over something you have no control over. But, feel free to be you, of course.

She would take a thermos of coffee and sleep thru every game at the Rockpile. Then we moved in 1973, and 80,199 other screaming fans couldn’t stop her from taking a little nap. It was uncanny. 🤷‍♂️

I hope I don’t offend you if I say you sound like my wife. 😋

Apparently it shrank in the wash. They didn’t realize Alaska was dry clean only. It’s OK, they still have plenty of elbow room.

Tomorrow will be rough for me. My 94 year old mom has been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes since Sept 3 when she took a bad fall, breaking her pelvis in two places. She has fallen multiple times since then. We host Thanksgiving and are expecting 17 for tomorrow (down from 25 last year). It should be 18, but even with skilled nursing she is falling if she tries to get out of the wheelchair. There are four steps up to our house, and she can’t do that. Even with a wheelchair she has been known to fall in the bathroom. Getting that old sucks. So, tomorrow is not only Thanksgiving, but also my mom’s 95th birthday. We will take turns visiting her in the nursing home, but it will be the first time she has not been able to join us for the holidays. She said she was “not invited” after talking to one of my sisters. I explained it was out of concern for her safety, but it’s still crushing both of our hearts. I’d have paid almost anything to have some skilled care to make this possible, but we were not able to line anything up on a holiday with limited notice since her latest fall.

IDK - it wasn’t me but some old friends had a group of people for Thanksgiving at their first house. They were so proud to be entertaining like adults. They ate early and then settled in to watch football. Before too long they realize everybody has food poisoning……in their one bathroom house. 😱 .

When my Magic 8 Ball is in the shop I use fortune cookies exclusively to determine the path of our financial planning.

I swear I woke up today thinking this was Thanksgiving Day. The first thing my wife said to me was that she made a shopping list for me. “Are you crazy? Are they even open today???” I’m afraid I overreacted like a typical Bills fan after a loss!

I am a man of tradition and routine! And mostly I want to blame him if we EVER lose again!

This MUST become a tradition! We want photo evidence that this happens for every game, or the next loss is on YOU!

Have you guys seen the renderings? They are awesome!

I feel terrible, but I didn’t get you anything.

I don’t mind paying them…….as long as they earn it. Guaranteed contracts don’t force the player to work hard. It’s bad enough already with huge signing bonuses.

My Home Owners Association has a specific ban on Harrier jets. They don’t like parking in the road overnight, either.
