'The Sirens of Titan' by Kurt Vonnegut. One of my favorite books.
-
My dogs name was Hershey when we rescued him. I immediately changed it to Harry. I figured I needed to change it to something similar. Now we have many names for him that he responds to. Boo is one I use a lot.

https://deadspin.com/the-messages-from-jonathan-martin-to-his-parents-are-he-1522865373. Martin was extremely depressed from being bullied throughout his life evidently. Such a big guy was bullied by kids half his size but never stood up to anyone. Richie really got inside his head. Strange to me that such a sensitive guy like Martin ended up being a pro football player.

Anderson is a free agent I think, the guy's a beast. Went to Stanford and played alongside Harrison Phillips for a year. Maybe he goes elsewhere.

Awesome #1 pass defense, average run defense and sacks. Need a stud playmaker up front on d. A better offense will definitely help.

Is he the only 'space eating' dt in the league? If not, do the others almost never make plays?

Career low of 17 combined tackles, 0 sacks, 0 QB hits. Star has trended downward for the last 3 years. Once again one of the lowest rated dts in the league. Just read a Carolina article about how glad they are to not be on the hook for his $11.5 million 2019 cap hit. https://www.catscratchreader.com/2019/1/15/18183035/which-2017-panthers-players-were-missed-the-most-in-2018-defense-and-special-teams-edition Say what you want about occupying blockers but that's the type of player he's always been, except he used to get in on tackles and pressure the QB a lot more. His role hasn't changed but his numbers keep heading down. I hated this signing, especially the fact the Bills are stuck with this guy for years to come.

Things You Got In Trouble For That You Didn't Do

It was Keith Hernandez. -
Would Cordy Glenn be an option in FA?
Turk71 replied to STL-Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jawuan James. George Fant. Trent Brown. are decent young free agent tackles I sense Glenn is just cruising and collecting paychecks at this point. -
Bills hire Heath Farwell as ST coordinator
Turk71 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Blue cheese or Ranch? My wife's maiden name is Heath, so that is a positive. He has played and coached in the NFL. Carolina. Youthful exuberance. I am cautiously optimistic. -
It's not that he doesn't catch them, he just doesn't do much with them after he does. He wasn't making people miss. I don't know if he was injured but his cuts and acceleration were not like his former self. I am not anti McCoy, I just think his play has fallen way off and the Bills could do a lot better for that kind of money. Look at the salaries of the top backs, not just the ones on rookie contracts. His pay is disproportionate to his play by a long shot imo.

My dog lays next to my recliner while I watch late night movies. Doesn't move til I go to bed. Luckily not much of a snorer, he does run and bark in his sleep sometimes.

Ya'll Thought My Wedding Was Crazy

Thnx for the update Joe. Sounds hilarious and painful at the same time. -
Reminds me of Men in Black. Looks like he smokes cigars and plays cards with his buddies.

100th Anniversary: Sweetest Disaster
Turk71 replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I remember reading about that years ago, crazy story. 'slow as molasses in January' my ass, the wave travelled at 35 mph. -
Exactly. My dog is always in the same room as me anyway. He really loves when we are all travelling and staying in the camper van.
-
Sorry to hear that as well, our space is not huge but we spend plenty of time outdoors with the dog regardless of the weather. Hope you find another dog that needs a loving home.

Top 50 players that are fits for Buffalo Bills..NewYorkUpstate.com
Turk71 replied to PIZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know about bad seed, more like $17 million/per bad investment. Look at how his replacements performed for a mere fraction of the price. Add to that he will be out of football for over a year and a half when he plays next in a new system, who knows what you will get for the guaranteed 55 million or so it will cost you. Bad investment imo. -
Wife and I rescued our dog Harry when he was a year old. He will be 14 years old in June. Aussie, Border Collie, Healer mix, he is one of the smartest, most loyal, and loving dogs I've ever known. Super athletic still and an amazing ball catcher. He gets tired quicker than he used to though. Good luck and have fun with your new friend. I tried to upload a pic but it's telling me I can only upload 204 kb or something like that.
