  1. Tyler Matakevich - looked like he belonged out there vs Detroit's ones.
  2. The timeshares we bought. In both cases the companies promised things but when they needed money they broke there promises. Kuhio Banyan Waikiki informed us they leased land as most do in Hawaii and at end of lease we had a choice of paying and continuing to be owner of giving up timeshare. Three years before lease renewal they wanted all owners to contribute to lease and if we choose to not renew they would repay us lease cost. The company I heard had trouble raising money for lease. We told them we are not planning on renewing lease and are not paying. We also said there was language in contract saying we did not need to but they stated we were not interpreting it correctly (when we were in timeshare meeting buying this question was asked and they said explicitly we did not need to purchase it and could use our timeshare until lease became due. They refused to let us use timeshare and stating if we did not pay timeshare fees they would put something on our credit report and take us to court. I told them to go ahead for sooner you do so I can file dispute with credit report companies including documentation showing they are breaking contract. They gave up on letters after a couple of years. I pasted one of the SASE on a box containing garbage and that may have something to do with it. Wyndham Star Island Resort & Club was bought to use in alternate weeks when we did not go to Hawaii. We deliberately bought a minimum point package which allowed us to reserve smallest unit. We were told explicitly that owners have 1st priority and if we reserved when it became available we were guaranteed availability. First time we attempted to reserve I made sure I was ready to log in at time it opened - previous day I checked and we could not reserve that week but we could week before since the first reservation week passed. When I attempted to reserve week all rooms were taken so I called customer support. I was told that owners who had rented multiple weeks had taken up all of the rooms and I told them I checked and all were NOT reserved so it was impossible for all of them to have been reserved via extended reservations, something we were not told about in presentation. He said his computer said otherwise and then gave a line about there to help me. We needed to use a different resort a different week or lose our points. Same issue happened for next 3 times we attempted to reserve. We finally got access to our resort and went to owners meet & greet. There were some people still asking question and again I heard one of them state 'Yes you are guaranteed access to your resort' and I spoke up loudly. "That is a lie. We tried 3 times on first day during first hour to reserve and we were shut out." I had several people asking me questions and I explained they still can cancel your purchase. At one point we were asked to leave and I stated we only came because we were told we would be given a package including free tickets and some discounts which we have not been given. He said please leave and we will have it sent to your suite and I said loudly "Once again you not going to keep your promise." and manager finally told someone to office, get a package and give it to us. We opened package, one of the items had expired and waited for the person to bring replacement. We still own it for it has no resale value. They have sent us several invitations to local owner meetings but every one has been useless if we are not willing to buy more points. We are going to Myrtle Beach for Thanksgiving. I cannot see myself ever buying a timeshare again. No matter what the promises are the companies can change rules and nothing you can do about it.
  3. Have you tried Classmates.com? I would connect with a different email address since they tend to be vampires on emails and pushing to buy but usually you will get a contact from any organizer if you join.
  4. The Vikings stadium is only covered stadium I have liked but I have not been there - how are sight lines? Every dome stadium I have been in sucked.
  5. There is probably a market for a t-shirt with a big Circle with line drawn through it with Watson's silhouette and words "no penis". Same info as tweets: https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-deshaun-watson-accusers-call-out-league-investigation/
  6. All of the Bills preseason games are on NFLN. I read that all of the preseason games are being rerun on NFLN. I may just go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch game since it is local for half the game and watch on NFLN at home for 2nd half.
  7. Yet another newspaper which wants you to pay for articles AND pages are so full of ads and videos the article you are trying to read takes forever to load and sometimes fails (but ads never do). There actually was more information on writer John McCain than on Texans on that page. It would be almost as easy for an opposition team to get someone certified as local media as it was for me to bypass the pay gate. Wow Bill O'Brien was special and being Billicheat disciple was allowed to get away with it for a long time. They should have him replace the kid who retrieves the kicking tee.
  8. No longer drink Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper any more; my taste buds have changed and no longer like them. I generally drink Thai Tea with stevia (you can make Thai Tea in coffee maker just like coffee), Diet Iced Tea, or Diet sodas ginger ale, A&W Root Beer or Sunkist. Supermarkets used to have a lot more varieties of diet soda but cut down due to competition from smaller bottlers who charge more and take up less shelve space. Diet A&W Cream Soda used to be my mainstay but cannot find anymore. Oh and i have a meter and never see insulin spikes from diet sodas or teas.
  9. Always thought Frank Reich and Alex Van Pelt would be and they are. Daniel Webb will be also; Jimbo no. Same with Allen. Fitzpatrick would be better in front office. I think Lorax, Kyle Williams and Eric Wood would be good assistant game coaches where coaches are worrying about strategy and they are trying to show players what they are missing and how to make their game better.
  10. I do not see the Pegulas doing a $nyder who limited people who could walk into stadium requiring people to either park or talking a shuttle bus which they needed to pay for.
  11. Unless he is going to stop competing in wrestling i would not sign him. Olympics and football require different training and interfere with each other.
  12. Their players are acting like many fans were during drought - they were saying it was better for draft position to be better than record when result is same. Many of their players had little confidence in Tua and with Fitzpatrick out for season there was no one to inspire a comeback.
  13. Evidently they drafted best players rather than need as they said they do. Basham was graded as a first round skill by Bills and when he was still available they drafted him.
  14. Last year we had LBs and DBs beat linemen one on one. There was a DB PUSHING the lineman into backfield and you could see in his face WTF?
  15. I hope they go with a 5-2-2-2 defense. It puts our best starters in there and pressure on OL since each needs to block one on one.
  16. On Eagles. Maybe you should post there? Not really.
  17. Some prefer to play straight man making jokester go thru actions to explain or increase joke to get a laugh. If you can play it straight it is a lot of fun.
  18. Because it is more effective than breaking tables and leads to less injuries?
  19. There are many versions of Catan including Star Trek version. Wil Wheaton and Jeri Ryan play it. An adult version of Catan Poontang would be interesting.
  20. He is probably this year's Rosen and they should have been grateful for a Darnold.
  21. A good practicing Mormon is less likely to get mono so they have improved their situation.
  22. Since Sweeney came off medical most teams will probably think he needs more time conditioning before he can take a role on 53.
  23. How much do they get net? Some of pay is inflated because very high tax rates in Europe.
