  1. Be glad the room is not spinning like a top, and you aren’t desperately searching for the trash can you can’t empty fast enough! Be at peace, all is well for you and yours. This should be a time for thanks, for all of us.
  2. A “friend” named Joe tried to buy me 19 shots of Wild Turkey on my 19th birthday. It did NOT end well. I barely remember being 20. On a side note, I have not had any “brown liquor“ in MANY decades. I may be an idiot, but I AM capable of learning a lesson.
  3. What temp do you do it sous vide? Have to be careful to keep it from cooking too much, especially when you warm it in the jus. I’ve been pretty pleased with a very thin cut Boars Head roast beef from the deli. I think getting the roll right makes all the difference in the world. Use the packets for au jus rather than a can and some good horseradish…and you have a mighty fine meal. Chips and a pickle to finish it off, oh MY! Add my mom’s German potato salad? A little taste of home. You can get decent wings most places, but I’ve never had great beef on weck outside of WNY. I’m sure it can be found, but the Duff’s location 45 miles from me in Newnan, GA went out of business early in Covid. Anywhere I’ve ever lived, my priority when I go back is getting all my favorite foods and hitting my go-to places. I think most people are like that. The food means “home”.
  4. “Fair weather fans” refers to more than the weather! Or ticket prices. Let’s see how their front running fan base jumps off the bandwagon when they miss the playoffs for a decade or two. Who are the REAL fair weather fans? How do THEY fill the stadium for night games with wind chills well below zero? In their enormous (compared to Buffalo) market in NEW ENGLAND? They can eat dirt, and everybody knows it.
  5. Care for some Cliff Notes? I refuse to click.
  6. What a crappy, inflammatory, misleading and biased tweet from “Boston Connor”. Let’s hear the exact words in the question, and the exact answer. Some precise context would be nice. “Head hunting” is meant to incite people, and I SERIOUSLY doubt that was the intended meaning. .
  7. Hopefully…..whatever it takes to trigger his bonus goes the right way! The man deserves it! Recognition is great…..cash is BETTER! .
  8. I just hope he and his agent knew the kind of situation they were going into and were $mart enough to have a contract that takes $ome of the $ting out of it. If WE are not surprised, HE shouldn’t have been. So…..there’s that…. 🤷‍♂️ Still sucks.
  9. In that weather you may be OK, you know…….with shrinkage.
  10. ….and a half mile back. ……every time. But you’ll get your steps in! I think we should blame battery chucking Raiders fans for this. It always seems to help if you have somebody to blame.
  11. THIS is almost impossible to argue against. Does it pay for a dome? Probably not, but I know I’ll only schedule early season games. I’m old enough to not be thrilled by the idea of freezing rain or sub-zero windchills. I’ve paid my dues since the Rock Pile. It was fun when I was young, I would prefer my couch and my big screen now. I’ve been a fan since the mid 60’s, and I don’t feel like any less of a fan for saying this. I like her already, and I hope she feels that way Sunday! I’ve been to some seriously NASTY games, and it was kind of fun. Odd, I know. I think I’m past that now. I just hope for the team to do what they can do and bring home the win.
  12. The “hole” is irrelevant when the extra 70 degrees may mean EVERYTHING, if even just for brief periods. It’s like a porta-potty, any port in a storm! Ya gotta go? Ya gotta go!
  13. I respectfully disagree. It was done for the short term goal of getting the highest ratings and making the most money. That never changes. Certainly not more noble, but less vindictive, IMO. I FULLY agree the more responsible plan was to make us the early game.
  14. Probably related to his spleen. I mean, what else could it be?
  15. Well……..I guess it couldn’t come SOONER than one post in!
  16. “Too much hassle”? How would YOU react if offered, say, a $3 million a year raise? I could handle that “hassle” for a while. And most guys like the idea of calling their own shots. I don’t know him, so no telling how he feels about the opportunity. He’ll be 63 in a couple months, so if he is EVER going to do it, now would be the time. IMO, the Dolphins should have stuck with the guy with the hot hand. I think Ross will go for a bigger, younger name, if only for the splash.
  17. He has stolen plenty of close games with a single play on special teams. A bit like the Steelers in the opener.
  18. Ummm, it was FAR less of an issue when temps were in the double digits. I think that might be barking up the wrong tree. Look for the obvious answer, and that might just be THE answer.
  19. It fit some people during a certain war, a long time ago, and should NEVER be used for the leader of our football team. IMO. I think nicknames are generally lame, but that one goes beyond lame to insensitive and offensive. I realize that might not be so obvious to younger people, but every day is a chance to learn something. Please google “Angel of Death”, then decide for yourself if that’s a good suggestion. .
  20. I don’t hate him for it, but I’m not clicking. He’s got a good little schtick going and I don’t resent him making money, but I don’t have to listen any more.
  21. Try this……tell her you bet $5,000 on the game, and maybe she will be too mad to notice the frostbite? 🤷‍♂️ Hats off to all the brave souls attending. I’ll be with you (in spirit only). You know what you’re in for, be fully prepared and bring home the win! .
  22. So, THERE ends that comparison.
  23. Can anyone name the biggest difference between Art Modell and Ralph? Anyone???
  24. I wouldn’t want a delay of game penalty before we actually get the whole team on the field. They would need to start a bit early I’m guessing.
  25. This will be related to the topics of alcohol……….and paramedics!
