Jessica is still showing as due to play in the first round at Wimbledon today, so let’s hope that’s a good indication that nothing has changed for the worse. If I’m going to speculate, I’d rather do it in a positive and hopeful manner.

Being repeatedly negative across countless topics does not make you a “realist”. Wait….I may have gotten this wrong.

I have just experienced “the type”. Lordy!

Start with Butch Byrd first. He’s one who belonged in first and has waited the longest. I don’t care about any backstory, just do the right thing.

Go clean up your room and get to bed. It’s almost 10:00 PM! What is this country coming to???

You, my child.

Maybe you don’t have enough of a sample size of vomit? You should try working on that first, before acting like an expert.

Is that the rock star look? Make those cougars go crazy….for an older man? 😂 Hair is just not what it used to be. Sadly. I get that.

That sounds personal, and I’ll report you if you tell me!!! (You can PM me if you need help finding a hotline number.)

I have an old tennis buddy in Florida who I used to go to lunch with a lot after tennis. He would explain he was “allergic” to onions when it appeared his entire family just didn’t like them, but he was convinced it was an actual allergy. I smelled BS there. BUT, the big thing was the pickle. He’d say NO PICKLE, and as the server walked away I’d repeat “SERIOUSLY! NO PICKLES!” Nice guy in his 50’s-60’s at the time. Very accomplished and wealthy by family and on his own, but………..if a pickle came out on his plate he would whine like a four year old who missed his nap! “You can’t fix that! It was on the plate! ALL the food is contaminated!!!” It was awkward and VERY painful.

Maybe Bugs touched him….and he liked it. 🤷‍♂️

And I had such hope for you! Please forward your address so I can mail you all the Golden Retriever sheddings we collect daily. OK…….maybe cats aren’t ALL bad compared to Goldens, but that’s the only knock on Goldens. Cats? Don’t get me started. I now understand the reason my mother told us she was allergic to cats until I was about 25. Enjoy your popcorn!!!

Disturbing, yet encouraging. (EDIT: wrong link, but I’m leaving it in there.) I did not know, for example, that Lou Saban made him the first black QB to start in the AFL when they were together in Denver. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwia_dLf4874AhUTJEQIHWsECZ4QtwJ6BAgDEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLsYi97F5-xo&usg=AOvVaw0myJGry_TXZDHRYNRRcLuu EDIT: the 2nd one is better, IMO. I think his story should be told here as much as possible. .

I think his beard works a little like Rudolph’s nose. The guy has magical qualities, what can I say?

For the people who don’t personally remember the era, 1,000 yards was not common the way it is now in the passing age with more games every season. He did that in only 14 games, much like some of the OJ records. And 18.2 YPR is crazy good any time!

I think we’ve all known some guy who could just pick up a sport and be better at it than everyone else. Well, this is that, and then some! I’m not sure when the Magician became part of his moniker, but it seemed very fitting. He was one of my favorites in the day. It felt like he was with us more than 3 seasons because he was so incredibly talented and memorable. RIP.

My sister saw The Beatles and The Stones in the same week in maybe 1964? THAT was quite a week! I remember her and her friends running up and down the road screaming at the top of their lungs. She says she “saw” the Beatles, but you couldn’t “hear” anything but young girls screaming. As for unpopular opinions, The Beatles, at least the early stuff, was wildly overrated. The Stones performances now are also wildly overrated. Back in the 70’s (maybe summer of 1975 at the Ralph?) was the best show I’ve ever seen. The last (and third) time I saw them convinced me there are better ways to spend my time.

Nothing to see here…..that phone was already scheduled for complete destruction. I mean, that’s how I do it, don’t you?

And by “final paperwork”, I assume you mean the whole thing from start to finish. Lordy! What a mess! But yeah, it was over. I really feel for Brown’s fans. I honestly think they provide their fans with far more anguish than the drought. “We suck” is one thing. “We should be good but keep finding ways for our criminal owner to screw it up”…..is something else. .

I don’t think the food is actually included, they just have different/maybe better (?) options. I went as a guest with old friends to some games in Jacksonville (of all places) to find some incredible food! The seats were actually outside, but there was a huge dining area indoors. Unlimited food, wine and beer, cash for liquor (to keep things safe, most likely). This was not just burgers and dogs, I had sautéed sea bass and some nice wine. (Feel free to make fun of me here, just telling the truth! 🤷‍♂️) I’m sure I had a dog and a beer later, When the stadium opened in 1973 our seats were in the club section in the top row against the suites. When they opened the windows in the summer thre AC came out on us, and we got their heat in the winter. If I looked to my right the scoreboard was there and the “Juice Stand” banner was to my left in the far corner. Our four seats went from about the 20-22 yards lines. Those were amazing days and remain amazing memories. Create memories for your kids. Memories > Stuff. .

You know those darn movers….something always gets lost or broken! 🤷‍♂️

For ME, it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin, or the heroes who died defending our country. ZERO. It also has nothing to do with police brutality, which is very real and needs to be addressed. For me personally, it has everything to do with the venue where he protested. He was on the job, and in uniform. He was not representing his employer or team. He was an unauthorized distraction, and he knew it. He has every right to protest, but he had to be ready to face those consequences. I could not have taken a stand like that at work without being shown the door. So, as far as pissing on anyone, speak for yourself, because you do NOT speak for me. EDIT: Oh, and Warren Sapp is an idiot, but it doesn’t mean he’s wrong here. .

No. They were never leaving as long as Ralph owned the team. The only question was how would the new owner feel about it. We’ve were VERY fortunate to have the Pegula’s come along when we needed them.

But……it WAS real, right?

Since you’re driving, it might be (almost) on your way? A lady who works with my wife just went to visit her friend in Buffalo a few weeks ago. She knew more about Buffalo in a few days than I did when i left at 17 for college! I wish I had her itinerary, as they covered it all: City Hall and the viewing floor; Frank Lloyd Wright house; museums; Niagara Falls (do NOT miss the Maid of the Mist); Beef on weck with wings, and much more…….. EDIT: They actually went to Toronto and had a drink at the highest elevated bar in North America (so they said).
