  1. Letting air our of footballs in New England.
  2. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy spoke before the Canadian Parliament, capping off his speech with a popular expression: “As the great parliamentarian Edmund Burke said, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'” Burke however did not publish that in any of his writings which was extensive. It is something which has been passed down without attribution. https://www.openculture.com/2016/03/edmund-burkeon-in-action.html This phrase has had many variations on it. I think most applies in New England games.
  3. Was able to access article without using workaround I usually use. Awesome by him understanding entire impact of deaths on his fan and doing what he could to alleviate it. He seems the type that if Eagles were not playing he would make it up afterwards. Sounds like you are a John Lennon fan. Anthony Harris is AWESOME!
  4. Zay Jones "inside info" came from his position coach at Eastern Carolina whom McDermott made his WR coach. According to him "Zay Jones was the most prepared for NFL WR". That coach got cut following year.
  5. My wife who has 20 years as a manager competes against children of supervisors with almost no experience and loses. Nepotism can be good (deciding on which candidate to hire as a very low entry position where fit and willing to follow instructions is most important) or bad (people skipping working up career ladder and grunt work due to family ties in non-family owned business),
  6. Not likely considering his wife was reason why he could afford to take a discounted salary in New England. It was clear in his retirement statement she was reason why he was retiring from football. I think he disclosing injuries he did not report (against rules) in past was attempt to get him to retire earlier.
  7. Tony Stark when Marvel Superhero Universe is rebooted?
  8. You got to be kidding? NFL would change the rule so the two teams over there would just play each other each week. Look what they did for the sacred cow the Titans constantly moving schedule when their facility was considered infected with players saying they did not want to play there. It reminded me of scene in Space Jam. Game should have been moved to neutral location like Bills game was in snowstorm which would have stopped outdoor OR dome game.
  9. Mijami had a terrible running game due to Marino's very poor fakes. Marino got rid of the ball fast but that was his best attribute. Bledsoe was called the statue and Marino should have been called the monument.
  10. We know about TE University. Where is LB University?
  11. Position coach can make a difference, Bills hired Zay Jones college coach from Eastern Carolina as WR coach and on his recommendation he signed Zay Jones. He made comment about Zay Jones being most prepared to be in NFL of all of the WRs he has seen. He connected with Coach McD when he was working as DC for Panthers although they did not work together. When Zay Jones got to NFL he regressed when he had a coach who knew his strengths, weaknesses and makeup very well. Previous WR coach was dumped even though he was under contract and all of the WRs said he was able to help them improve their game, David Cully was hired as QB coach with no previous experience as QB coach due to working with Coach McD for two years. He previously had coached as WR coach and he expressed that he needed more experience to be considered as head coach after being an assistant head coach. Position coaches make a difference.
  12. Yes it is. I bought my wife a table saw as an anniversary gift and she is the one who uses it.
  13. It has not been stated I believe but over reaction is standard for this forum.
  14. I suppose so but I never looked at it that way. We have different ones for different tasks and some tasks I am better at and some my wife is. I was SURE you were a Patriot supporter not an Eagle.
  15. On the day in question it was hot & humid so I brought it inside to clean it. I also have an electric staple gun in house as well and several other tools. There is a chain saw in living room right now although it is in a box and is the lighter electric one my wife uses. The gas powered one is in garage right now since I have not used it since last weekend.
  16. Too bad he did not do one of tennis vs football with all of the "loves" in tennis. And we need one of soccer vs baseball for those threads off track on main wall.
  17. The one time I had someone come to my house annoyed and drunk I picked up the chain saw I had been using for cutting limbs that day and started it. I then asked "Was my limb cutting bothering you?" His response was "Wrong house" before stumbling down stairs and leaving.
  18. So you use the break-in as an excuse to kill the neighbor's dog whose barking has been annoying you. Interesting. So that is your nickname for it. Interesting.
  19. Obviously you were not a math major and did not work with imaginary numbers.
  20. No because he is a team player (but he spells it with an "i" and a "me").
  21. They are very good at getting their qb sacked.
  22. Because they expected you to be a professional and compete not fake an injury when you did not start and went on road trip to old team. Yes it was a big mistake to sign you to large contract Quittin'.
  23. I think he means sign them just to kill them. No because they could not get a UDFA slot if they bribed Jim Overdorf with Cayman Islands account. 6th.
  24. Nine years of special teams assistant should be enough experience.
