Or you could learn to understand it, and then benefit from it. My wife was furious when I bought "something you can't see", so I can understand your reluctance to look into crypto.

It's been 8 months since I first bought crypto. Bought some XRP because it will become the standard for the Quantum Financial System (coming soon to your area!). XRP is ISO 20022 compliant, which is required in the banking world. You can't say that about Bitcoin. But go ahead and hang on to your Bitcoin if you think that is the best course. I can understand where my statement is out of left field. Most people do not realize there is a new Quantum Financial System coming. At least you have some XRP and XLM, so you should be golden (so to speak).

If any of you are invested in Bitcoin, you would do well to sell it now, get out of Bitcoin completely. Very soon, Bitcoin will be worth ZERO. If you want to swap Bitcoin for other assets, get XLM or XRP. XRP is not currently available in the US, but Canadians may still be able to get it. These "X" coins are backed by precious metals, where Bitcoin is backed by nothing.

For so many years, Draft Day felt like Christmas Day, when the Bills always needed some new gift in order to get better. Now it seems much less important. Still fun to watch, but not so critical.

Oh yeah, and then take CJ Spiller at #9, while us fans lament for years that they could have had Haloti Ngata at #10. I might have my years mixed up, but you all know the routine. I always record the Senior Bowl and then enjoy watching it. This year, I watched it up to mid 3rd Qtr or so, and then deleted it. It just did not matter very much. It is so refreshing to not give a **** after all those years where the Bills' season was done by Halloween and we started doing mock drafts at that point. Viva McDermott and Beane!

I have watched a few rugby games and was amazed at how they named the various player positions. The positions Loose-head prop. Tight-head prop. Lock. Lock. Blind-side flanker. Open-side flanker. Number 8. Fun stuff trying to figure all that out!

I once had a girlfriend who over-enunciated her words. I found it extremely annoying, but could not really say much about it. Your comment about assessing intelligence based on speech and language rather than content is a great observation, and a sad commentary on our dumbed-down education system these days. Oops, am I over-hyphenating?

Whenever I watch the Denver Broncos play, I am grateful the John Elway is not a good GM. Broncos took Bradley Chubb (at #5 I think) when Josh Allen was still available. Good DE, but Elway missed on a great QB.

When they do not talk about Daryl Williams during games, that is a very good thing. Good point, OP.

Yahk-shee-maash! I have not seen the sequel yet. Of course, I support your War of Terror... I think the original Borat should have won Best Picture or some kind of award, but of course, it is so far off the wall. Brilliant piece of work.

And, at 2-4, they are still undisputed at the top of the NFC East! I REALLY enjoyed watching that game.

That Superbowl choke job was the beginning of the end for Quinn IMO. That fancy new Atlanta dome has the ugliest playing surface, at least for this TV viewer. It looks like old worn high traffic green carpet. Ugly Lately, I enjoy watching the Falcons lose. Franchise QB and all, Julio Jones AND Ridley. Useless defense. Maybe they should teach the 2 Bama receivers to play defense. Never mind.

Thank you for the synopsis, stevewin! I never knew much about Andre, and this was a nice bunch of info. Did the polar plunge in Antarctica? Holy crap. Larry Fitz - there's a great big brother influence.

I have not gone through all 20 pages, but was Fitz credited with 1 reception on his batted pass? Do they score it that way?

I spent a summer at The Infantry School in Fort Benning, GA way back when. I was there for radio mechanic training. We were in an A/C building, but on coffee/donut breaks, we could watch the airborne guys out there busting their butts every day. Their uniforms were a shade darker from constant sweat. They were doing simulated jumps or hit the ground and roll exercises. Lots of running, too. Oops, break is over, time to go back inside. Are there any Army airborne guys here on TSW? Thanks for doing the hard work out there.

The 49ers-Cardinals game seemed to have the crowd noise at too high a level. It was quite annoying, whereas the Bills game was not so bad. No, I disliked it as well. Fake crowds, it is so 2020.

I understand how you feel, to a degree. I only get to watch from home, but it will be strange to see no fans in Bills Stadium. Very strange. NASCAR has its political BS, too, so I quit watching most of their stuff. MAV TV has local stock car racing from Oswego and lots of small towns. Real people, not the corporate Nascar crap. Actual fun racing. 2020 NFL season will be weird, if it even gets off the ground.

I can understand the new guy (7 posts) to act like a dick towards JW, but the rest of you regulars should know better. JW is one of the few "significant" posters on TSW. Don't give him BS.

Condolences to the Fitzpatrick family. Ryan is one of the good guys, even as a Dolphin. May his mother rest in peace, and may the family find peace soon.

Kittle just got $15M/yr, average. And Kelce gets $14.25/yr ? Wow.

I liked Duke from seeing his play in the CFL. But I think these 2 rookies will win out over Duke and flash-in-the-pan Foster. IIRC, on draft day, Gabe Davis was practicing with friends at UCF. Always working! I am excited to see these 2 guys play.

Good God, you mean because Fromm failed to use the word "equally" you are still going to give him bull$$it for his remarks? eball, you have a weird interpretation of words.

w/e - is that the newspeak for "whatever"? If so, maybe that's not as bad as the millennial "whatevs" Yikes

He will work as an orderly? I thought he got his MD. Is this the Canadian version of a residency that US doctors must go through?

Does anyone know what S.H.E.S. is?
