State of Mississippi demands repayment from Favre
Augie replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall
I want everyone held accountable for their actions, but it’s hard to achieve that if the criminal is in charge of the investigation. I used to review real estate appraisal work from all over the country, but my main client was In Mississippi and Alabama. Not only do they not have MLS in many areas, but it is (or at least was) a non-disclosure state. There is zero information available in public records regarding when a property sold and for how much. They live in the Dark Ages. Still, there are rules that you must follow in order to have an acceptable report. I was trying to get one guy to fix some things and he sounded like he might break into tears when he said “Come on! I’m in Mississippi for heaven’s sake! Don’t I get a break?” It is indeed a backwards place, and at least some the people there seem to know it. . -

What a cesspool. I wish I was more surprised. You can’t be in charge of investigating yourself, but he just may get away with it. -

I get that Favre was not being a great guy here, but why are the politicians not in jail? THEY are the one’s in charge of safeguarding the public funds, and they were clearly trying to get away with something. Favre can ask, it’s their job to say no. EVERYBODY stinks in this deal. -
This makes me wonder how many frogs and glasses of milk will be sacrificed for this post. Everyone is looking for a good time!

You might want to cut back on your normal gummy or shroom dosage. For better or for worse. You be you. .

THAT is not a culture you want to continue, for sure.

Somewhere today (Cowherd?) I heard Johnson responded or leaked that they seemed like a bunch of basketball people who didn’t know as much about football as they thought they did. 😂

I don’t know, I might pay to see that! 😂

They made a show about the 70’s. I forget what they called it. 😋

The kids learn that behavior when their parents allow or even encourage it. I was coaching my son’s basketball team when he was little. These kids are young, so each period begins by lining up the kids across from each other and make it clear who everybody is supposed to guard. One new kid looks up at me and says “No, I’m not guarding him.” Excuse me? “He’s too big”, he tells me. Well, you’re both the same size. Things are about to start, so I put my much smaller son on the kid, and we began. Unbeknownst to me, the asst coach went and had a talk with his parents after the game and told them what had happened. He mentions this on the way out of the gym and I forget all about it. At the next practice the asst coach hands me a folded up piece of notebook paper. It dawns on me, the parents must have made the kid write an apology. That makes sense. Nope, it was from the parents. Apparently Little Jimmy is used to having the ball in his hands at all times in the YMCA league and he should be the leading scorer. I was just speechless. This kid soon became known around the league as The Little Gunner Boy. His dad coached his team after that first season. The league requires that each kid gets equal playing time so we work out a schedule to be sure it’s fair. The best kids get any leftover minutes. So I’m coaching a close game against Gunner Boys team, and dad doesn’t take his kid out the whole second half. (We still won because my son was the best player in the gym, and Gunner Boy was probably in the 5th percentile for height.) I go up to the dad after the game to make sure he knows the rules, ostensibly, but really to rub his nose in it that everyone knew he was cheating. He pointed to the kids on his team and said “what am I supposed to do?” Well, let’s start by letting all the kids play (that’s why they are here) and do NOT teach them to cheat. I could go on and on, like when my 14 year old sons would ref the little kids games and have to eject 45 year old dads coaching who just can’t hold their %$#@ together. I enjoyed those years, and I miss them in many ways, but you sure do see the ugly side of people.

Urologist? I have a friend who just had a biopsy Friday due to some “issues”. I think he might need this Doc.

I have a nephew who killed someone driving drunk on St Patrick’s Day years ago. Please don’t judge me.

Ahh, a classic! Pulling the old Brock Osweiler Maneuver out of the bag of tricks!

You’re right, that is all tailgate stuff. I hate to mess up the house on game days.

What? You never need a nap? I’m excited to see next year. I enjoyed a TON of Bills football last season. I wish we were still playing, but I still had a good time. I know we have holes to fill, again, but I believe we will be in the hunt again as well. One day…..

Should the Bills trade up for their own “Julio Jones”
Augie replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was my fourth time buying tickets to see her, and the third time actually doing it. I got these tix for my wife and myself months in advance, maybe as a Christmas present? The other time my college hoops team made a run and the wife took a friend. I recommend Kathleen Madigan, and her opener tonight was fantastic. -

Augie replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now I’m just chuckling. Thanks. I’m leaving to see Kathleen Madigan in a few minutes, and you are like a Pre-warm up act. You can tear up ANYONE if you want to point out the players a GM passed over. Montana went in the third round, Brady in the 6th. That is the weakest approach I see on this board. . -

Augie replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
The words were he couldn’t evaluate them, I believe. You said Beane couldn’t evaluate WR talent. I and others have pointed out that to date he’s been a later round WR guy. Yes, he had other priorities, but that says nothing about his ability to evaluate. He may have been 100% right on ranking the top WR’s, but we just don’t know since he never swung the bat there. Belichick did swing the bat, and he is a guy I don’t want picking my WR’s. I don’t give a rip about him or his legacy, I’m just pointing out a fact. . -
I hope she doesn’t make me hate her. That would be terrible.

The NFL would probably put that on PPV, and that I would gladly pay to see! Because he hasn’t drafted one early does not mean he cannot evaluate them. Those are two different things. Belichick is the guy who can’t evaluate WR’s. He’s proven it. . -

Well, we have to put somebody out there on the DLine. -

I really shouldn’t have answered, because there is not enough info. What is the cost? Sure, I’d love Marvin Harrison Jr if we only have to kick in a 6th rounder, but that will never happen. I said no way because I have to assume the cost would be enormous, and we have holes to fill with cheaper, younger guys. We need WR and defense. -
I’m with you, but only if Butch Byrd goes up first. He should have been there long ago.

Like in life, I suspect the best prospects get the best opportunities. It’s all about what you do with it.
