Are you sure the C in C hasn't made expressing the sentiment 'Happy Canada Day' an act of treason?

No filters. Camel straights or Lucky Strike.
What? Sorry.

Last Wednesday, I walked into the local (in)convenience store, threw down my $1.30 Canadian and picked up the Buffalo News for the first time in quite a while. Although thinner than it used to be, it's still doing a passable job with the news us buggy whip holding dinosaurs remember that was the practice for years. No godawful 'Smiles At' photo galleries. No inane lists. No retrospective pieces about how the Anchor Bar was the birthplace of the chicken wing. A print sports section that covered a variety of sports adequately - well, much more than the online version. A print local news section that isn't rife with mistakes and grammatically challenged headlines and stories. How is it the online version is such dreck, yet the print version still mostly does what a newspaper is supposed to do?

and... what makes it a nickname, or has a negative connotation? Just isn't that funny.
or clever rather
I'm not debating the humour or lack thereof, just maintaining that the alteration of 'Tyrod' into 'Tie Rod' is a form of a nickname. Similar to how someone who has 'III' at the end of his name is sometimes called 'Trip', short for triplet. A nickname? Yes. Particularly funny or creative? No.

...and Tie Rod (didn't get it)...
A play on his name, and part of the steering linkage on a vehicle. More than once I've seen him referred to disparagingly as 'Balljoint' - a suspension component.

Well, if he can't function as an OL due to injuries, maybe OBD can use him as a speed bump.

A coworker acquaintance related to me his sad story of riding the bench for all four years of his Division III college football career. Seeing his senior year going the same as the other three years, he enlisted friends, relatives, and neighbours and THEIR friends, relatives, and neighbours to pack the stands at the final home game. "If I haven't gotten in by halftime, start the chant 'We want Benton! We want Benton!' in the third quarter" were his instructions, and apparently even unknown fans took up the cause with great gusto. This chant would start, gain momentum, then die out. Anytime the ball changed hands, the faithful again took up Benton's cause. Benton sat on the bench, wrapped in one of those big blanket parkas from the early 70s looking resolute; he didn't dare look at the coach. Finally with about 4 minutes to go in the game and reportedly the entire home crowd chanting, the coach yells down the bench "Benton! Come down here!" Up jumps Benton, throws off the parka, sprints down to where the coach was, and says "YES SIR?!" Coach looks at him and says "Go see what they want."
It was a good story, but I read it years later in a magazine in a dentist's office, I think a Reader's Digest. Whether it was Benton scrambling details, or he had pilfered the story, I don't know. Haven't seen him since the late 80s.
Anyone here crossed paths with Benton? Or do you have a 'Benton like' story, or one of your own stories?

Have you approached his agent regarding the endorsement contract yet? Best hurry before that wedding photographer scoops J.A. up. Only so many endorsement hours in a day.

I cry 'foul'! It's 'fowl'!
It would seem any newer facility would have means to allow a shut in workers to release themselves. I served as a shipkeeper for a while on a Great Lakes bulk freighter built in 1966, and besides the self release bar, there was a signal bell. Both news write ups woefully short on facts, but probably the late hour coupled with a medical emergency did not allow the gentleman to escape.

2) Montana, very cerebral
Although it's a biased standard, the picture of Joe Montana that's stuck in my head is that dazed look he had after the Bills knocked him out of the KC game in 1993.

Got it when it came out in 1968, I was 10.
Few are aware that this is how T-ball started. Millions of parents bored to tears over these past 50 years would like a word with the game's creator. The parents will bring their own bats...

Peterman will be our starter and thread more needles than Old Mother Hubbard. You will see,.
I don't know about 'thread more needles' but I know I'm being needled by all these threads about Peterman...? Further, what in the French fried f*** does old Mother Hubbard have to do with threading needles?! It was that unfortunate lady who had to deal with this drama:
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard, to get her poor daughter a dress,
But when she got there, the cupboard was bare,
And so was her daughter, I guess.

Opinions are like Aholes, everybody has one.
The trick is that when you offer one, it doesn’t make you look like one.
Most people are quite good at that skill. Other notable exceptions need no more mention.

Organic food grow in fields that used to be sprayed. Chemical residues still in ground.
Is a side effect of that you end up speaking like Tonto?

Including throwing to some receivers with 'iron hands'. This is true for all QBs, be they veterans or one of the 5 'teen titans' from 2018's draft.
