  1. Isn’t he an FS1 guy? Does he do anything on ESPN?
  2. I’m always felt safe when he was behind the wheel.
  3. The NFL has mastered the weather in a clever ploy to expand coverage into one more holiday viewing window. This will become like the Thanksgiving Day games before you know it.
  4. I thought about how misleading that is to the rest of the world with preconceived notions about Buffalo. That’s OK, let’s keep it our little secret. I wouldn’t mind a summer place in WNY to beat the heat, and it’s cheaper than the NC mountains.
  5. I was driving from Buffalo to Cincinnati after my uncles funeral with my entire family in the car. It’s dark, and everybody is sleeping when we hit a band of snow near Erie, PA. I can’t see anything! I’m driving by feel using those lane marker bumps. I can’t pull over because I don’t know where over is! I might be just parking in the right lane, for all I know. Trucks and cars all just trying to follow the leader without getting too close, but get too far and you have nothing to follow. So I’m doing this white knocked driving all by myself. Suddenly there is a major dip, like a rollercoaster feeling in my stomach. I’m sure I’ve gone off the road, but it’s too smooth. Then a stop sign went by and told me I had gotten off at an exit, but by the time I realized what had happened I was back on the highway! My mother woke up first and I heard “Oh ****!” About 30 minutes later we drove out of it, my father woke up and asked I if wanted him to drive. Yes please. That was the most frightening experience ever driving a car. If Mother Nature decides to make a game impossible, that is within her power. You just need the best Plan B possible. EDIT: Between unforeseeable adult stuff like that, and the stupidity of youth, I am very lucky to be here today. And I know it. .
  6. I don’t think it’s that he’s lost confidence in Bass. I think he knows there’s something up physically with Bass and he knows he doesn’t have his typical range. That’s what it feels like to me, anyway.
  7. Bold move to pass right over the dog.
  8. Four more threads about what’s up with Diggs?
  9. So, you’re NOT sensitive about not finishing high school? 😋
  10. Ummm, well…check with @Mead on that one.
  11. Shocking! I took the over. 😋
  12. More of an ALDI shopper? I get it. There were times I struggled to buy a draft beer. Then I met the barkeep in college, Barb. Problem solved.
  13. I hope they provide us with solid football and great entertainment for as many weeks as possible. Every week is a treat, so I’ll sit back and enjoy it rather than fret over how we might complain next.
  14. Are we doomed???
  15. I’m probably older, a bit more of a traditionalist. I’m gonna hang with the let’s burn a couch in the road crowd. We have fun, too!
  16. Travel light. Always a good rule to follow. I like it.
  17. If he does, I defiantly want to see it. Fitzpatrick demonstrates why bears don’t seem to mind winter!
  18. Get any on you?
  19. There are some products where you just do NOT go the cheap route. This is no garden hose. “Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?” is a very reasonable question! I saw this on the news the other night. I can’t imagine!!! EDIT: BTW, we went skydiving once from 14,000 feet and the one thing that surprised me most was how much cooler it was on a warm summer day. I sat directly next to the great big door/hole in the plane. BRR! Just a random thought. .
  20. In my 20’s we used to hang out with a bunch of good old boys who grew up hunting and fishing in the lowcountry around Hilton Head. These were intelligent, successful people, including a lawyer, a builder and a CPA. They are out shrimp baiting one night and see a bale of something floating in the Sound. It was coke, and they sold it to some guy they knew of for a quick buck. Easy money! Fast forward a few years and the CPA is now married with children, and he’s bought a business from one of his clients who was tired of making money. He’s earning 7 figures (back in the 80’s), and he’s been using that income to fight his legal battles over being a drug dealer. It dragged on forever, but he eventually left his family to spend a few years in the Big House. OUCH! The marriage did not survive. Same guys, another night. They see a cute little head in the big Calibogue Sound swimming towards an island fighting against an outgoing tide. They figure what the heck, let’s help that little thing out before it gets carried out into the Atlantic. They throw a shrimp net out, it clings on and they head for the island. The bobcat starts climbing forward on the net. It’s much bigger than they realized. It jumps into the boat, and there is pure panic, as the bobcat does not like having people in his boat. They end up beating it to death with oars. They started with such good intentions! 😂 These guy should stick to the land.
  21. I think this whole thing is about people who like the whole thing being about them.
  22. I will never forget that day. I won’t bore you with the details, but they are imprinted on my soul. There is nothing like the birth of your first born child. God bless you and your family.
  23. It’s not illegal in any way. We looked it up.
  24. Well…..sure. I’ll be like the love child of The Waterboy and Ted Lasso. I got this, and I’ll do it for half the market value. Trust me!
