I played 18 holes of golf today for the first time in 20 years
Augie replied to Draconator's topic in Off the Wall
I advised @Chef Jim not to live directly on the golf course, but……you know. 🤷♂️ I lived on the 10th green of the Harbor Town course in Hilton Head right out of college. The green was in the backyard behind a string of four townhouses. I was leaving for work early one morning and went out to my car in open parking in front of the units. I come around to the drivers side to open my door and am shocked to see a guy on his knees trying to reach under my car with a club to retrieve his ball. It’s hard to describe how far away from the green that was. If I hit a ball THAT BADLY I just keep moving. I’m not sure if I’ve EVER hit a ball that bad, and like most of the population, I pretty much SUCK. I’m not good, but I’m not slow either. Last balls I bought was an 80-pack of used balls on line. I don’t get too attached to any one ball. BTW - My personal best is hitting not 1, not 2, but 3 (THREE!) different houses on the same shot. It was a rare hook (I’m like most people, more of a slicer) and hit the roof of a patio home, the roof of the NEXT patio home, and the side of the third home. Impressive, I know! I’ve lived on three different courses. Do so at your own peril. . -
I have no idea who it will be, but I see them adding another vet like Beasley, John Brown, Sanders, etc. Guys who have been around the block you know can contribute for 2-3 years. With that and a new guy or two will will be fine. Hopefully one of the young guys like Hodgins or Stevenson will make a leap and surprise us, but I’m not counting on it.

We are 7 houses in, NONE were new builds. My dream is to build exactly what we want one day, but then I look at all the decisions in just a kitchen or bath remodel…..and I have second thoughts.

I have to agree, though an entire paragraph with a single period is also noteworthy! I apologize, it’s Friday night for me too! 😋

Per Adam Schefter: Cowboys likely to release Amari Cooper
Augie replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
But, but, but…..Jerruh is a genius! He has almost as many playoff wins in the last 25 years as Tom Brady…….as a Buc. -
It’s nice when it works out! My advice? Never fall for the home warranty when you buy a house. We bought a house with an older AC unit I knew would fail. I argued to get the sales price down, and for a variety of reasons caved and accepted a home warranty instead. HOT GARBAGE! There was like a $200 deductible every time they showed up to top it off with Freon. They would top it off until the end of time, like several times a week, but it was clear there would NEVER be a replacement in my future. Here’s your NEW best advice: Never count on a home warranty to do you any good.

Kiss up! 😊

Regional place names that aren't spelled the way the locals say them.
Augie replied to SoTier's topic in Off the Wall
John Ruggiero’s house. I worked with him for years. They spell it Ruggiero but pronounce it Ruggerio. When I pointed out he mispronounces his own last name, he just shrugged. 🤷♂️ -
This is NOT my area of expertise (I’m still searching for that), but the one I watched and focused on was Evan Neal. Mostly because ‘Bama is always on TV, but also because it was somewhat amusing watching him out there. A guy big enough to make the rest of the Alabama team and the rest of the SEC look like the JV is fascinating to me. I’ll read to see what the rest have to say, but Neal just jumps off the screen because of his size. He always looked solid when I watched, but I have no idea how he compares to the others in terms of talent and value. I think the Jags franchised their LT last year. They could get both better and cheaper with Neal. I know protecting their QB seems like a nice plan before he gets ruined or killed. Rough rookie year for Trevor. .

A better title would be: Cole Beasley Given Permission to Find Out Nobody Wants to Pay Him All That Money.

There were different levels of what was acceptable, apparently. I never went to BBMB, but I seem to recall a difficult transition. I read now from the BBMB folks it was the Wild, Wild West, and TBD was not having that. I could be wrong, but that is the way I recall the transition. I’m open to the views of others here…….
-
Sorry, I disagree. I think there was a difficult migration period, but we gained a LOT of great posters. Hats off to the mods for managing that difficult period, but there are people here now I would miss if they left.
-
Not much would surprise me with that franchise/owner.
-
Not sure how the link matches the title (maybe I quit too soon?), but the projected content appears to deflate a lot of TBD dreams. .

Get Christian McCaffery to be our #1... slot WR...???
Augie replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I dislike the injury issue. I HATE the cost both in terms of any draft pick, and especially the salary cap hit. -
It seems this thread has taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way! I have a friend who went to UGA and went back to Athens to be in his buddies wedding. The Groom drove like three blocks from the reception to the hotel……… and got a DUI on his wedding night! YIKES! Bad start there!

You didn’t like the Tuesday game vs the Mystery Opponents? Yeah, I’m with ya’ there. .
-
I suspect it was rough on the Mods for a while there. I have to give them credit for welcoming all the new folks while establishing expectations. In the end, a lot of great new posters came from that.

Bills interested in signing Rob Gronkowski, per Tim Graham
Augie replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m sure Tre would give him a giant hug on the podium when they lifted the Lombardi Trophy together. I hope people don’t judge me on my worst moment in life. That wouldn’t be pretty. Gronk is a pro who does nothing but win. I, personally, can get over it. With all due respect, I think the drafting of Torell Troup is the unforgivable sin here. -
She can help you get your limbs off. This seems like a match made in Heaven! This is a case where @Just Jack might want to adjust the title. Would ya? Or would ya survive to tell the tale?
