Do you know this for a fact? Seems like he should be studying the "All-22" so he knows what every player is doing.

Good love is hard to find Good love is hard to find You got lucky, babe You got lucky, babe, when I found you

Until the next win.

On the other hand, he threw at least three perfect passes that were flat-out dropped by the receivers. One would have been a TD - the one we needed to win the game.

Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you

Don't get too lost in all I say Though at the time I really felt that way But that was then, now it's today; I can't get off so I'm here to stay Till someone comes along and takes my place With a different name and a different face.

Let's hope Daboll has a few tricks up his sleeve for two-point conversions.

He'd have been better off with a glass of milk instead of the beers. Water, alcohol, and most other drinks just spread the hot stuff around. Milk (or better, yogurt) has a cooling effect. It coats the surface and absorbs the heat. The first time my wife and I ate at an Indian restaurant, I ordered curried chicken. The waitress told me it was hot and brought a bowl of sauce to go with it. She described it as a "cooling sauce" and then admitted it was just yogurt. I like hot stuff to a certain extent, but if I break a good sweat, then it's too hot. The curried chicken was just hot enough that I appreciated the yogurt. With super-hot wings, though, just order extra blue cheese and dip a lot.

When I was a kid, someone gave us a batch of hot peppers. I don't remember the variety, but my Mom decided to can them. She cut them up without gloves. The next day, Dad brought her to the ER because her hands were red and burning like crazy. They gave her hydrocortisone cream and a prescription for something - probably a steroid. For two days, she laid on the couch with her hands in a bowl of ice water. I'll cut hot peppers without gloves, but I never touch the insides once they're cut - I use utensils to transfer them to a jar for preserving. (No canning - I just add vinegar water and store them in the fridge.) And then I wash my hands thoroughly, twice.

I once ate a whole habanero with lunch. Twenty minutes later, I went up to the bedroom, opened the windows (this was January in Northern Illinois - very cold outside), turned on the ceiling fan, stripped to my underwear, and sprawled out on the bed. Then I got an endorphin rush that was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. (And I did a fair amount of "experimenting" in college - no opioids, but some stuff I'd never do again.) Unfortunately, I was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at our college's spring orientation that evening. I managed to do my presentation, but still under a mild endorphin buzz. Bottom line: I'll never touch another habanero again.

I just watched the trailer and I'm against that guy.

We have friends who used to host a chili party during the holidays. One year, the invitations included the phrase "Buen chile se quema dos veces" (Good chili burns twice.)

Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

Have you watched a Lions game lately? 😉

The great thing about omens: they can mean whatever the hell you want them to mean. The bad thing about omens: they can mean whatever the hell you want them to mean.

Ha! And oddly enough, there's a thread about the latter ...

Well the house is a rockin' don't bother knockin' Yeah the house is a rockin' don't bother knockin' Yeah the house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day Have mercy, been waitin' for the bus all day I got my brown paper bag and my take-home pay

I haven't priced them lately, but a couple of years ago I was behind someone at the grocery store buying a carton for $80. For a pack-a-day smoker, that's around $3000 a year. Figure out how much you spend every year for cigarettes. Quitting is like getting raise in salary for that amount. Write that on a post-it note and display it.

That's the distinction. An end-zone celebration says to the crowd, "Look what I did!" A taunt says to the opposing player, "YOU got torched." Taunts tend to provoke punches or shoves, and that's what they're trying to avoid with the taunting calls.

And on the market stands unfolding With all their willies and their wares I shuffle by alert but numb To all the glances and the glares

Good luck quitting! It's worth it! I smoked for seven years, quitting twice, each time for a few months. My wife and I decided to quit together when we got married. I don't remember which one of us brought it up, but we agreed instantly. It wasn't as difficult as we thought, probably because we had each other for support. (And we found better ways to satisfy the oral fixation 😉 .)
