  1. Does induction require replacing your cookware? I never had gas until about 15 years ago, and I’d have a hard time giving it up now. I look at a lot of houses (it used to be a profession, now it’s just a hobby) and if they don’t have gas I’d consider induction. Running a gas line to our last house in Florida was possible, but it was going to be a big deal. Induction might have been perfect there.
  2. Happy anniversary! I’m glad you took steps to get help. We lost our son to fentanyl the next day, Jan 2, 2018. Addiction is a B word. A rash of deaths in Nashville that New Year.
  3. Happy New Year.!!!!! Forrest Gump as a GM would not put that in a contract.
  4. Thank you for proving my point! How is that working out? 😂
  5. Respectfully, I don’t think his contract will include anything regarding control over management of the team. That would be insane. They will have an understanding, but you can’t give a player personnel power in their contract. How would that work if they disagree?
  6. Will that also make them try? Maybe just a little? 😊 They will never give up the money they get for having such bloated, generally meaningless regular seasons.
  7. Just start driving…..
  8. IDK, I remember how this was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Where is the poll with how many games each of us thought he would win? (I hope it was a public poll.) I think this season has exceeded expectations in many ways. He should not be under the gun for that, imo. He’d have to do something incredibly stupid to make me forget what many expected. I thank him for a very nice season so far. We’ll see how the playoffs go, and that is obviously critical, but only one team wins it each year. I don’t like change for the sake of change. I like things done for a reason after solid consideration. I’ll quote this, because I can. I honestly don’t understand how so many people took 13 seconds so personally and hold a grudge. Yep, it was absolutely horrible, but it was 13 seconds several years ago. A lot has happened since. I’ve let it go.
  9. They have carts for things like that, but somehow I’m guessing a wheelbarrow is the right tool for the job. Like Caddyshack, we have a pool, and a pond. The wheelbarrow will be good for you. 😊 BTW, that’s two more snaps than they would get out of me, so I am duly impressed.
  10. They fear your elusiveness?
  11. My father was a germ freak. We could never go on picnics or eat outside because he didn’t want flies landing on his food. The adults got drunk one year and pointed out that there are no flies on New Year’s Day, and a tradition began. For several years a bunch of families would show up on NY Day at a NY state park with snowmobiles, Bloody Mary’s and a nice breakfast to grill. Good times. My wife’s mother and uncle were with us one year in Sarasota. My wife signed us up for some shindig at the Opera House. I had had ZERO alcohol the entire day so I wasn’t too worried when we hit a giant DUI checkpoint 1/4 mile from our house. He asked me where I was going. Home. What’s your address. I told him. He said I could go and I mentioned that that was pretty easy. He pointed to an appliance store parking lot FULL of cars, dozens of them, and said “those people couldn’t do what you just did.” I see no need to be on the road tonight. My mother used to call this Amateur Night.
  12. Undefeated in the division would be great. Letting the Pats* fall a little bit in the draft would be great. Going into the playoffs on a high note would be great. But not at the expense of any player who can help us in a playoff game that actually matters.
  13. That made me wonder, how long has it been since you felt better about our OLine? It’s been a while for me. EDIT: That makes me feel much better about our future. Just find a mountain of a man to clog the middle of the DLine, and we are looking good. .
  14. Think…….preseason. It’s that simple, to me. You want to see some guys show well, and the team to look good, but get out of this healthy. .
  15. But it sure does trade well!!! Let the bidding begin! Who needs a QB most?
  16. Exactly! There is a lot of football left to be played this year. Hopefully a LOT of football. You have to be prepared for all scenarios, but there is no decision to be made at this moment. It’s hard for me to have a strong opinion until I see it play out.
  17. Either that, or have Belichick make the pick! 😊 …or his dog, of course.
  18. I feel badly now that I never figured out the metric system. I think I’ll give in to my wife now and go to his library and museum here in ATL. She says it’s great, so better late than never, I guess.
  19. Our system also allows us to play with more affordable zone corners. Guys like Grabby Sauce Gardner are harder to find and more expensive to keep. We’ve been watching coaching turnover for decades. We know how it really goes. We need bigger or smaller linemen, because we want to be more stout or faster. Groot is really a 4-2 DE, what does he do in a 3-4? All that stuff happens to some degree every time. It’s not the only thing, but it’s a real thing.
  20. I’m hesitant about teams who are peaking late. They are dangerous. I’d like to be one of those teams, but we need some magic on defense. The playoffs are largely about matchups. Being built to beat the Chiefs makes sense, but it’s not much help against the Ravens or the Bengals. You need all kinds of luck, and that includes health and good matchups. .
  21. A life well lived. RIP
  22. Yeah, but neither is like….space and stuff if you listen to some of these guys. 🤷‍♂️
  23. I don’t believe we are allowed to trade other posters, but there may be something in the fine print. Worth looking into.
  24. Buffalo Joe closing fast and making 2 straight tackles. Fast is relative, but great instincts on runs.
  25. Have they had to replace those flags yet? I mean, nothing lasts forever.
