  1. We have a LOT of good players who want to be PAID. We need all these high picks, and we need to I hit on them to lower our labor costs. One great prospect sounds awesome, but is it better than 3-4 solid starters who allow for more cap space to pay your stars? 🤷‍♂️
  2. I guess this is why we play the games? I don’t know what to make of that division, especially Denver, but I’m glad the Bills don’t play in it! Let them all beat the tar out of each other, and let the playoffs run thru Buffalo!
  3. I think Josh knows he could have held on trying to get more, but he also knows he’s got generational money coming in regardless. Josh is far more likely to restructure to allow for a better team around him and more wins than he is to ask for more. Just how I see him. He’s got plenty and I don’t think it will ever be an ego thing like a certain QB in Green Bay.
  4. HFBD! Hope you get lots of free advice for this great occasion!
  5. We stopped filling the bird feeder due to squirrels and other critters wanting the seeds. We left it at the old house four doors up the road when we moved in December. To keep it thread related, I probably can’t afford a new feeder OR the feed with today’s prices!
  6. But…..half of them would be leaving Alabama, and a quarter from OSU, so who really cares?
  7. Never one of my teams, but I’ll never forget some girls from High School! Wait, the 1980 US Olympic hockey team. I’ll claim them, as most of us would. Does that count? It’s the best I got…… .
  8. Some folks here want a Dick Butkus, Ray Lewis kinda run stuffing MLB, but the game has changed, as has the position. Coverage and eating space is more critical than it used to be. I don’t know what direction they will go at MLB going forward, but they have done enough to earn my trust.
  9. When we lived in Hilton Head, SC we used to get Painted Buntings at the feeder. Amazingly beautiful birds. Somebody actually gave us a painting of them for our wedding, oddly enough. Reminded me of Goldfinches growing up, but the Crayola 64 pack version. When we had the most Painted Buntings we lived on……wait for it……Goldfinch Lane. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Painted_Bunting/overview
  10. The prices went up VERY FAST, and now they are coming back down v e r y s l o w l y….. No, I’m not at all surprised by any of it. You can’t just print money without consequences, and I’ll leave it at that.
  11. If Keyshawn or Booger are talking, I try to be listening to something else.
  12. I hope they are looking for a long term addition, not a replacement. Let him sit behind OJ Howard and learn for a year if he needs it.
  13. Wow! Very sad, and “only” 67 years old. His voice was even more distinctive than his image. You always knew it was him! Very sorry for his loved ones.
  14. Sometimes very bad things have a silver lining if you look hard enough. I think this is it. Screwing the fans is frowned upon. Screwing the other owners will be hard to come back from.
  15. My older sister saw them both about a week apart when I was little. I remember her running up and down the street with her friends screaming to “practice”. She said at the Beatles concert that was ALL you could hear, young girls screaming.
  16. I like lyrics that make you think a bit, and actually mean something. SO MANY songs from Yes or The Who, etc you look at the lyrics and need an interpreter. You would be at a loss, because it sounded cool, but made NO sense whatsoever.
  17. I had to guess who revived this, and YOU were high on the list! 😋 My wife is very big on networking. She might suggest introducing yourself to everyone in the room before relieving yourself. They would certainly remember you! You might also be put on some kind of list, but that’s just more recognition, right?
  18. I had lunch last week with @DrDawkinstein on the beltline. With beer I am now onto “I’ll have what he’s having”. I swear wine is easier than beer now! “Yeah, I’ll have the house and see if it’s awful.”
  19. I know NOTHING about bourbon, but I know we have Angel’s Envy sitting with the rest of our limited liquor collection. The wife’s brother and another close friend swear by it, so it sits there until they visit. They tend to have good taste so I’d trust that, and based upon a quick Google search the price seems to work for Yolo.
  20. The way I see it, it’s not at all about his teammates missing him. Horrible Harry was close to guys, especially Josh, but it’s business and he moved on. It is somewhat about being a leader, but it is mostly about the quality of play, and can we trust a rookie to get things right in such a critical year where our Super Bowl window is wide open (despite the crazy tough AFC). Do you really want to roll the dice on a new kid leading the defense? That’s above my pay grade, so all I can do is trust in Beane and McD.
  21. This just might start a Save The Candle Movement!
  22. At least there were no Jets or Giants on the list. I’m not sure if that is being geographically accurate, or just recognizing how talented those teams are NOT.
  23. Welcome. I think we need to be on the inside to have a clue. What does Kromer have planned? What does McD see from the inside? The guy kept Josh clean, so I loved that. In the right scheme ha can be effective, no doubt. Not a star, but solid in my mind.
  24. Have you considered anger management therapy?
