Either way, they are going to talk about them. They’ll talk about them for being good, and they’ll talk about them for being bad. They just keep talking about them……..

I had a tennis buddy named Mel, and he owned Mel’s House of Maps. That’s right, he sold maps to people retail and made a living doing it. I’d love to see a kid today even fold a map! Right after we give them a rotary phone to use! 😂 P.S. - This was in the mid to late 90’s, not the 1800’s. It wasn’t THAT long ago.

I will also beg them to hire Rex if it will help.

Our current head count is expected to be 14-16, which is well down from years past. My sister and a family we have literally spent the last 25+ Thanksgivings with both asked what they could bring. We said nobody on earth knows better than you people what we have on the Thanksgiving table. Bring something else that you’d like. I’m curious.

When we drafted him I went for his highlight reel. The running was obviously impressive (it IS highlights), but what stood out to me most was there was an entire section of him in pass protection. He was VERY willing and effective, and it wasn’t just a few plays.

Beane is also the guy creating this future cap mess. How much longer can we allow this???

Has anyone suggested the Condiment Ceremony as an alternative yet?

Have you met @teef?

Be careful with the jelly beans. One Easter our young son snuck off and ate every jelly bean in his basket. A few hours later he’s in his PJ’s on the couch being cradled by my wife. He’s screaming “WHAT KIND OF MOTHER ARE YOU?!?! I NEED A DOCTOR!!!” And then he vomited jelly beans, some apparently un-chewed, all over her. She’s an awesome mother! I promise. .

I might get the Bengals game in the Rockpile that was in a blizzard and a complete white out. Amazing experience, and you’ll never see it on this pasty white Irish kid. Seriously, you’ll never see it.

I recently realized my Facebook account was locked in 2021 for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

I might rather dig up the video of my son’s 4th birthday party and watch that. We had a fire truck come to the house and he was SO excited…..that he disappeared from the video by falling out of the drivers seat and landed face first on the asphalt street. Bloody mess that was! Yeah, I’d rather watch that.

Happy birthday, sir! I hit that milestone just a few weeks ahead of you. It’s sort of hard to believe. .

If you always take the high road, you will encounter less traffic.

I think Brady trademarked that.

Yep, joining in is great. If you didn’t PM Plenz you’re missing the boat on info. Good luck!

I’m sure they all wish Rodgers figures out a way to get the owner fired. If anybody can handle that next level stuff, it’s Mr Darkness.

How very……specific of you. Maybe a little history there? I’ve never used DoorDash or Uber Eats or any of that. I’ll have my pizza joint (who I recently learned is from Grand Island) deliver, but that’s about it. So it was a surprise when a friend called and said there was food at my door. I said, no, why would there be food at my door? Well, the last time he had been in that app he was at my house and left my address. He was clearly ashamed for us to see what he had ordered for himself. A stack of boxes of bar food piled as high as my knees! Mozzarella sticks, wings, potato skins, quesadillas, and any other crap you can think of! And he complains about his weight. 🤷‍♂️

For what it’s worth……My mom turns 97 on Monday and she’s been slipping badly for about 3 years. Maybe 6 months ago she got Covid in the nursing home. There was a noticeable drop off in her ability to function, but I think part of that was being isolated in a room for 10 days. She did recover from what she lost during Covid, but it’s still hit or miss every day. It’s all just a giant gut wrenching rollercoaster. She’s actually a little better mentally now than she was in the first year of the nursing home. It was very disorienting and disturbing for her. She hasn’t called me by my father’s name in a year, but before that it was 50/50. I feel for you. It’s killing me, and I just go visit the nursing home. My next door neighbor went thru it with his mother and his therapist suggested he write a book about the experience, so he did.

My first Thanksgiving with my wife’s Lebanese family was an eye opener. I’m at the table and ready for what we expect on that day. Out it comes, all the humus and grape leaves and kibbi and Laban and tabouleh and pita and…. WTF??? What IS this stuff? I had never heard of most of it before! Eventually my dear mother-in-law brought in a bird. A very well cooked bird. (The next year my wife did the bird, and her younger brother asked why wasn’t all dry like he was used to it. 😂) We are pretty traditional now, but if her family is in town Lebanese food will be in the house, if not at the table.

Judging by the results, I think they were taking turns making picks. We know the actual scouts are thrown out of the process before the draft. Yeah, he’s a genius, but not in all the ways he thinks he is.

He could bring in Bill Belichick’s dog as asst GM, and it probably wouldn’t hurt the Jets. I mean, they are still the Jets and the owner sets the tone.

Thanks, that told me all I need to know. No clickie for me!

It took forever to get out of the parking lots, but we listened to the post-game show on the radio. I could not have been happier anywhere else than stuck in traffic that night!

I can’t believe you guys clicked! There was nothing about that title that made me want to know more! 😂 .
