So………..this reminds me. I used to review real estate appraisals from all over the country. My largest client was a bank in Mississippi and Alabama. (Let me just say, we need to do a better job in education!) I will swear on a stack of bibles that I saw appraisers attribute less value to an in ground pool than to a similar size dirt pond. Pictures of the pond were included. The dirt ponds had no special attributes. Just dirt, and dirty water. Sorry, flashback over. .

That’s a helluva run and a lot of family fun for a $500 investment! Is that right? Pump and everything? We built a pool at our last house in Sarasota. It strangely was missing, and it’s pretty much expected in houses at all price points. I looked in our last neighborhood and 48 of the last 50 sales had a pool. It was a fortune to build, and that was almost 20 years ago. A huge chunk of the expense you wouldn’t have in WNY was a pool cage. It was a big area and the cage alone was over $20k! EDIT: We did a saltwater pool because we had a son with allergies and sensitive skin. It was awesome, and I’d make that decision again. Also, as we got older and the kids moved on we found ourselves using the spa more and the pool less. .

I have gotten old info in the past, so I’ve learned it’s a very good idea to verify whatever you seem to be settling on. I finally found the right bar one time, and the old guys laughed and said “Hell, we haven’t been there in years!”

We have a pool. A pond and a pool. The pond would be good for you……

We’ll have the last pick on Day One, and the first pick on Day Two! Love it!

I used to play in a tennis league with a sports psychologist. Everybody knew that in tight situations you could crowd his second serve and he was very likely to double fault. I never used him professionally.

If the Steelers really want him, they should just do it the Jetsy Way and trade for him now, then see if he shows up. Oh, that would be idiotic, you say?

Our kids growing up in FL spent countless hours in the pool. We’d shower them off afterward a few times a week and that was that. Flying into Buffalo always shocks me with the number and variety of pools you see. Forget the few posters here who try to bring us down…WE ARE OPTIMISTS! 😂

Isn’t this Board proof enough of that?

….and this is now. I pray he can chill and get it back. I think he can be a great weapon.

Why do my spidey senses tell me to fear that link??? Did Peter Pan colonize Mars when nobody was looking?

It’s certainly possible that the gravity of those moments might have had a negative sphincter reaction. The big moment needs to feel like the regular moment.

Do you still wear them every Friday? It’s the internet….we hear things. 🤷‍♂️

Did Sitcom Math predict this???

This is unconfirmed, but I heard Lucy pulled the ball back and he fell for it.

Every job has to be earned, and kept. I’m glad we have the talent on the roster to have a real competition. Cook proved he can be VERY effective, but you can’t have glaring weaknesses in your game. Trust is earned. .

I’m afraid you only get the weck for that, plus a pickle of course.

Rocky wouldn’t want him losing his legs chasing that chicken!

I’ve lost track of him, but I’d sleep better at night with him at #2.

Crazy how a split second can change your life. In the NFL or elsewhere.

My son went to FSU during EJ’s days. He was at every home game. My son was a good HS QB who was POY in his Conference, First Team All Area despite a team up the road being #1 in the country that year, etc. He declined college offers. He knows a bit of football, and he told me EJ was hot garbage. Nice guy, but he’ll never be a good NFL QB. I will always wish him well.

How did EJ Manuel go #16? Somebody decided they needed a QB and in a panic got it wrong.

Buyer be SMART. If you don’t have a deal worked out, you’ll get no more than a bag of balls from me.

They call the draft a crap shoot for a reason. True for every position in every round, but you need to get that QB right. That is increasingly the #1 rule in the NFL.
