My hairy beanbag. They did an excellent job retracting into my body until the final whistle. Whew.

Egregious Display of Gap Execution

I had always hoped he might make the hall when my dad was alive as my dad might have gotten a mention during the speech. Would have meant everything to him.

My father used to talk about Bill all the time. He taught him to read at Pine Valley. Bill had trouble reading and credited my father with helping him make it. Small-world awesome stuff. I also played football at Pine Valley but, of course, no where near the level of Bill. BTW, another small-world thing, one of the Planes, Trains and Automobiles scenes was filmed right outside my house. And a last note, a big scene for the movie The Natural was filmed in South Dayton at the old train station. Was big happenings when I was younger.

You are correct…

How’s the pool, Clark?

Like I said, I’m not a rules expert. Maybe you’re right. But I don’t think a receiver can grab a db while a pass is being made. And I definitely don’t think you can grab fist fulls of jersey to block for somebody running. And if pick plays are called where the db’s progress is impeded with a hip check or shoulder bump, what is it when the db is grabbed and shoved/turned from the receiver?

I’m not a rules expert but it could probably be offensive pass interference because it started while the ball was in the air but is holding as well given that he had his arms wrapped around him with fists full of jersey as Puka went by. At the very least, I think it would be the pick play of the century.

This was bad but I thought the worse one was Cooper Kupp’s bad penalty overlooked on Puka’s last td. It was blatant, right at the point of attack and definitely contributed to success of the play. There is no way they didn’t see it.

You could be right but after hearing him say this is the first time in a long time he has actually experienced joy playing the game, maybe we get a little bit of a discount. If he’s feeling joy and acceptance, those can be powerful things.

The way Cowher’s head whipped back, I’m really glad he didn’t crack his melon open on the ground. He should’ve been using Rapp’s helmet.

Same here

May be a good approach, Happy, but the fish are getting away with wicked holding. On Tua’s scramble, Von was right next to him and the oline had his arms wrapped all the way around him in a literal bear hug. No call.

Holy crap, anybody else see the bear hug on Von?

RIP, John. Better be rooting up there.
