  1. Yeah, I’d be embarrassed, but then you can’t pick your family so I hold nothing against Patrick. If the brother was a $%#@ and he was on board with it, THEN I have a problem with Patrick, but I doubt that’s the case. Sometimes being rich and famous is less than it is cracked up to be. I’d love to be rich, I’d hate to be famous, but my first choice is happy.
  2. My guess is, if you go in reverse order and start with the rectal habernero application, three minutes will be MORE than enough to make @teef famous across the globe!
  3. I’m sure they would never dare to rig a game more than a couple blocks off the strip. They are not worried about the look, in fact the league and networks are embracing the gambling aspect of things and trying to capitalize on it. Expect Vegas to be a regular on the SB circuit. It’s a city and stadium built for this kind if event and will be an amazing draw. The only SB I attended was in Minneapolis. A nice city, but certainly not the draw that Vegas is, especially in February!
  4. Is it really a “Name Only” thread, if it’s NOT really his name? Hmmmm. 🤷‍♂️
  5. Oh NO! Here we go AGAIN!
  6. It wasn’t just the Buc’s, but the Cheaters* the week before, the Titans who were super hot, etc. Every game except the Colts we were one play away from winning. Of course, we didn’t get those plays and we did lose, but we are right there against some of the best teams in the league. Maybe “confidence” isn’t the perfect word, but I at least have hope.
  7. Does Marilyn Monroe doing Happy Birthday for JFK count? I think it should, all things considered.
  8. Maybe the good news is people go out to happy hour, then drive home. People who puff at home probably stay home (glued to the couch). I think it will happen in time, but living in the SE I’m not a couple towns away, I’m a few states away. If you can do shots at happy hours and drive home, why not raise revenue legalizing pot? I worked with a guy who made an interesting argument. If people think it’s a gateway drug, you eliminate that by making it available at organized dispensaries. The dispensary doesn’t have the other menu options that lead you down that horrible road, but your street dealer probably does. .
  9. We got ourselves a BALL GAME!
  10. I’ll vote FOR the train horn if we can get a pick 6 here. My little deal with the devil.
  11. Singletary on the long run….SHOCKED them! We might run?
  12. No defense is good enough without ANY offense to speak of.
  13. It sure would be nice to have Star, or a replacement for Star. We are missing an important component, unfortunately FAR too often.
  14. I don’t see QUIT. I see a terrible OLine. Blow up the OLine (and probably OLine coach) and the team can be right back there as a serious Super Bowl contender.
  15. Three new starters on the OLine, and probably a new OLine coach. You can’t expect to score points given that mess. You can’t run, and you don’t have time to pass.
  16. It is times like this when I discover people who are DCTom material (if you’ve been around, you know what that means), or people who are just desperately in need of attention. Tequila is a third option, but what are the odds of that? I’m going with option 1 or 2.
  17. Can you give me a Cliff Notes style summary? I’m not sure what the point is, but I am watching college hoops and will only try so hard.
  18. Did you ever see Brewster’s Millions? Collectibles can be a great investment. If you buy investment quality stamps, however, and lick them and put them on your Christmas cards, you have ruined your investment. There is a difference between a wise investment and being an idiot. Having said that, if it’s for personal enjoyment that is a different story. I once went to appraise a nice looking house on the water in Florida. The Realtor met me at the door and stuck her head thru the crack in the door saying “now, don’t be alarmed”. HUH? The lady was a hoarder, BIG TIME! The house was filled floor to ceiling with only narrow passageways you could barely pass thru. I’ll give her credit, she was VERY organized! Books in one area, Christmas broken up into rooms with ornaments vs rooms with Santas, etc. Word was she had a disorder (duh!) and didn’t want her kids to inherit anything so she tried to spend it all online. I have never seen anything quite like THAT!
  19. We also knew we had to get younger and cheaper on the DL, which we did with the first two picks. We got Spencer Brown in the 3rd. You just can’t do it all at once. Nobody has infinite resources.
  20. The WR’s are absolutely fine for this year, but will need to be addressed going forward. Improve the OL (and possibly their coaching) and we win 4 of our 5 games we lost. It can and will be addressed.
  21. I voted as to the big picture, not as in tomorrow. Being inherently challenged makes the play calling more difficult and critical, but there needs to be some amount of balance. We know what we need to fix for next year, but right now we just need to find a way.
  22. I don’t think the problem is bickering, but I also don’t think the problem is apathy. What is that based upon? Them’s fightin’ words! I wouldn’t dare ask them in person if the problem was apathy. Poyer and Hyde also don’t like to be asked if they were embarrassed. THAT didn’t go well. They care, I’m as sure as I can be from where I sit. The problem is mostly, IMO, lack of talent and execution on the OLine. Better execution there and we are comfortably ahead in four of our five losses and don’t run the risk of losing the close games. It can be corrected in time, but requires adjustments to the personnel and likely the coaching.
  23. I think you may be doing this wrong. I think we are supposed to make a list of every thing that has ever gone wrong. You know, because every other team hits on 100% of their moves. Isn’t that how these threads work? Look, I know they have made some mistakes, and even some blunders, but we are getting pretty creative in finding ways to be critical. And I am NOT against being critical when it is due, but my goodness! Go to 7-5 with 4 losses that could have gone either way, turning on a single play here or there is NOT the end of the world. I hope they can manage the situation they have and patch up the Oline, develop a run game, protect Josh, stop the run, etc. But I’m not going to dwell on who they should have taken in the 3rd round in 2018 because I knew he’d be a stud or any other such hindsight. Learn from the past, but focus on the future. Maybe that’s just me.
  24. It hurt at first, and it left a mark! I think I deserve something for my trouble. How do I collect? I don’t trust this crowd. Some of you make me skeptical! My wife’s cousin came to visit us in Hilton Head for the Heritage tournament one year decades ago. This guy got hit TWICE in the same day! Once on a slice to the right hit him of the fly. That really hurt! Later another ball took a one hop off a cart path and hit him again. It’s like Powerball in reverse!
