    Okay, so I’m sitting here watching ESPN wild card weekend hype on television, and it seems like every ten seconds there is a commercial for these whole body deodorant bars/sprays.  
     

    First it was that Mando lady all over the place, and now I see Marshawn spraying his junk with a Dove product every time I glance at the television.  I’m sure there are others that aren’t coming to mind right now.

     

    Here’s my thoughts.  Is there really public demand such that these products are so widely advertised?  Also, if someone’s personal hygiene is sufficient, why would their nether regions emanate odors that other people in the same room could actually be offended by the stench?  If you bathe regularly and your genitals or butt still stink up the room you are NASTY.  What are we doing here?

     

    Am I alone?  I find this to be repugnant and disgusting. 🤢 😂 

     

    I file these commercials under "There's a sucker born every minute."

    Maybe. For a 5 star recruit he really didn’t do much until this years playoffs. We talked ***** about him for 3.5 years. Ofc now we love him. I think he’s destined to be the next Bobby Carpenter.  Buckeye legend from Columbus who was just shy of “NFL good” but will make a living off of being on local sports radio 

     

    Appreciate the grounded perspective.

     

    FTR, I have no idea what he'll be and wish him all the best.

     

  3. Today I plugged in a USB drive with some music I was listening to a few years back. Came across two songs I forgot about that are diametrically opposed. One is bad ass the other candy ass (stick around for the guitar solo a minute in).

    NFC won almost 60% of the head to head matchups this year.  

    https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/afc-vs-nfc-record-year-by-year-all-teams-grouped-by-conference-last-20-years

    The common narrative that the AFC is better than the NFC may be a bit outdated.

    The top 1 NFC team is all that matters for the AFC teams at this point.  But I think having a bunch of doormats in the AFC, means it is the overall weaker division at this time. The bills certainly benefitted from being in the biggest doormat division. 

     

    So you start with equating the NFC winning 'almost 60%' with pummeling the AFC - a questionable premise to begin with imo - and then move on to all that matters to AFC teams at this point is the top 1 NFC team  - which going into the playoffs is a team the Bills defeated - and then you see fit to mention the Bills playing in the biggest doormat division.

     

    How do you reconcile the Bills beating the top dog in the big bad NFC on the road with your dispute of the narrative that the AFC is better than the NFC and claim that the Bills play in the biggest doormat division?

    I've lived in LA 66 years and I've never seen sustained winds 60-80 mph like this for 2 days. I'm evacuated and hoping the Eaton fire calms down.  Going to be a rough night.

     

    All the best to you and yours.

    I don’t shop for gifts for my wife anymore. In the early days I’d go out and guess what she might like. The truth is, I have no idea which clothes or earrings she might want. If she wants something, she has it delivered to our door. More than half I end up taking back to the UPS Store. It works for us. 

     

    This year we went clothes shopping for me together. She’s helpful to shop with, but I’m there to veto anything I don’t like. I told her I wanted to shop with her FOR HER. She said all she wanted was a TV for the bedroom, so this afternoon we’ll go pick up the 55” Frame TV (those are very cool, btw) waiting for us at Best Buy.  It’s very comfortable to be able to do it this way, and people get what they actually want. 

     

     

     

    I stopped shopping for my wife years ago. Spent a lot of time one year trying to find matching earrings for a necklace she liked and was pretty pleased with what I bought. And then she asked me to return them a few days after Christmas. I wasn't offended, just decided I wasn't gonna waste my time again. She knows what she likes and wants and now we're both happier.

     

    The only thing I buy her every year is a heart-shaped Christmas ornament. I've been doing that since our first Christmas together. The funniest was the year I had them customize the ornament with our names and when I got it in the mail noticed they had written Mark instead of Matt. At the time Mark was our next door neighbor so we had a few laughs.

  7. For years a New Years Eve staple for my fam has been the Dub Side of the Mule NYE concert.

     

    Couldn't find video for this one but 3 minutes in is classic NYE horns:

     

     

    And here's the first song of the new year

     

     

  8. It says in the book:
    "burn 'n destroy...
    'n repent, 'n redeem
    'n revenge, 'n deploy
    'n rumble thee forth
    To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side

    'cause they don't go for what's in the book
    'n that makes 'em bad

  9.  

    Squirrel Winters t-shirt is now 3-0 in 2024.

     

    More intriguing and less controllable is the supermarket/retail connection. Last week it was pre-game encounters with a Lions fan at Stop 'n Shop and a Bills fan at Kohls. Yesterday at Giunta's supermarket, random deli counter guy saw my Bills hoodie and hat and told me he had switched allegiance from Jets to Bills cuz he'd had it with the Jets circus. Good times.

     

    I'm torn about next week. Different supermarket? No pre-game trip to the supermarket?  Both are out of my control - as are any fan interactions. Sometimes you just have to let the fickle finger of fate play out. Stay tuned.

    Any stud goaltenders coming out in this next draft?

     

    A stud goaltender, coming out? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just not how I grade draft prospects, lol.

     

    For the record I only dropped in to the thread to see comments after my Islanders got pummeled at home so ignore the above and congrats on the W.

  11. Another one I haven't noticed for awhile is PatsFanNH. I always thought that poster was well intentioned but got blasted for any defense of Brady. In hindsight maybe his disappearance coincides with the decline of the  Pats.

    What is his "name", smagnolia  or some goofy italian derivative.  That poster is actually very creative, always a great read and then some fans try to argue with him as they dont realize he is pulling their chains.

     

    The Spags back and forth with Howard was epic. It took a bit before I caught on to the shtick. Good times.
