  1. Why would you hire a guy with the idea that he would be done after one season? I can understand frustration with the defense based upon the way our season ended, but I really don’t get the hate for a top rated defense. They were not perfect, but they were pretty darn good.
  2. I trust your judgment, and I wonder if he isn’t just happy to make an EXTRA couple million for the next few years? That would be a tough decision for me, personally.
  3. This guy may be smart, but he would not intimidate the Chess Club. Who would you take if you put him and Brian Flores in a cage match? .
  4. They played better for the last few weeks of the season (that ended far too soon), but overall I was not al all impressed. I think it’s a huge upgrade. Improving the OLine makes this team seriously dangerous and multi-dimensional. If I’m a Giants fan, this bums me out. Time will tell.
  5. I wonder if Giants fans are pissed? I would be! Feels like a huge upgrade. 😋 .
  6. The OLine needs a certain edge to it! 😋
  7. Which leads to…………..why????
  8. That’s a kind way of saying the Giants ain’t got nuthin’…….. 😋
  9. My son played AAU and Rec League baseball. He was pretty talented. When they called about All Stars one year, promising lead off hitter and 2nd base he said “Do I have to? Half the guys are standing around, and the other half are sitting!” I tried to play it neutral, but I can’t describe how relieved I was! His baseball career was over, and we moved on to sports where people actually do things. (Other than weightlifting, but that’s another story. It takes all day for six lifts, each lasting a few seconds.)
  10. Yep. If you are a quality candidate worthy of obtaining interest from multiple teams, the Texans would NOT be your choice. They made their dumpster, not they have to sleep in it.
  11. This never would have happened if Vegas had an Applebees or Dave & Busters.
  12. That has to be absolutely EXHAUSTING!
  13. I was expecting something else in terms on NDE, but that’s another issue. Google it if you’re not familiar, pretty interesting stuff. I was in no danger, and I didn’t see it happen, but I heard a VERY NASTY accident a few months ago. I was putting air in a tire and heard what sounded like an explosion. I jumped up and looked around but didn’t see anything. It was a sickening sound! As I drove away I realize on the other side of the convenience store a lady had apparently pulled out directly in front of someone who was probably doing at least 50 mph. Her driver door was gone and she was still in the drivers seat, unable to move. Because of my delay in realizing what happened others had gotten there first trying to help. I felt queasy as I drove away. It was horrific! Just hearing it and seeing the aftermath shook me up! Years ago in Florida I was driving my son down I-75 to a tennis tournament. Probably doing about 75 mph I go over and overpass with limited visibility ahead to find traffic ahead had come to a stop. I had to break HARD to avoid an accident. My eyes immediately went to the rear view mirror and to my HORROR I see a GIANT red truck bearing down on us. It was HUGE, like it was carrying the biggest dumpster you’ve ever seen. I don’t think he missed us by more than a foot as he swerved into the median. I still remember how loud it was going off the road as it almost tipped over. I tried to play it cool with my son, but we both almost died that day. .
  14. I’m not adding to some Russian oligarch’s gazillions. I have better charities in mind. I’d rather send money to St Jude Children’s Hospital. I trust that to make the world better. .
  15. I will consider, in fact have always assumed under this regime, that they are smarter than the couch potatoes we are judging them. 😋 NOT perfect, but better than most. .
  16. Well, they’ve apparently done well enough to have a top five team in the NFL. It can’t be TOO bad.
  17. You got me thinking….I was born in 1959 (just like the Bills), and my first memories of pizza came when I was about 10. For me, 1969 was an AMAZING year! Probably the best year ever for music, the Bills got OJ, and I discovered pizza!
  18. It’s hard to just MAKE a good team, much less contribute early. We have one of the best teams in the league, and there’s a reason for that. They have been drafting pretty well, and building a roster to last. We are not drafting and praying they can all make an immediate impact. We want help from the top 2-3 guys, and younger cheaper contributors going forward from guys after that. We got that. Rankings like this are silly, but my takeaway is…..the Jets are still the Jets. 😋 .
  19. I would be more likely to watch the snowshoeing.
  20. Come on! These are the best of the best! (Or at least the best who bothered to show up.) Who doesn’t want to watch Ali vs Frazier having a pillow fight?
  21. Sorry, just thought the OP was kind of silly. We will see.
  22. Yeah, but…….. “He schemes plays. He makes diagrams. He cheers on the offensive players”. Then comes the LinkedIn section. You need a QB, then go from there. Time will tell indeed.
  23. For those of us NOT in New Zealand, Pizza Hut might be considered “local”. 😋 It can NOT, however, be considered great pizza. It is edible if you are sufficiently impaired, precluding driving for the good stuff, or knowing the difference. .
