..sad isn't it?...a set of "room darkening shades" should take care of "their window"......

....July 5, 2009.......had the ribs and chicken on the grill...my son had just helped me clean the pool....said he had to run over to a girl's house and would be back in 20 minutes.....my late wife's cell rang and it was the County Sheriff....."your son was involved in a serious accident and is en route to the hospital.......we're not sure if he will survive"......a call a parent NEVER wants...t-boned by a drunk 19 year old who drank through the day and night on the 4th into the 5th (he died a day later)....my son's Ford Explorer barrel rolled for 75 feet, ending up against a tree, stopping it from hitting a house with him ejected through the windshield....somehow after 80+ stitches and staples, broken femur, 4 broken ribs, collapsed lung and two broken hips, all of which required more surgical hardware than Home Depot could ever stock, we did make it.....today he is a 245 lb monster....PLEASE, PLEASE fellow TBD brethren, BE SAFE this holiday weekend.....

...STILL amazes me how long Garth Snow(job) held on as GM for so long......the Isles' days of Potvin, Arbour, Chico, Gilles, Bossey, etc are a distant memory...remember watching an Isles/Flyers game back in the 70's in college....Young & Chadwick were the announce team.......Schultz decided he would drop 'em versus Gilles......Gilles landed the FIRST and ONLY punch.....Schultz was out cold...a thing of beauty..........

...just awful.......cringe when summer holidays roll around....Godspeed and prayers young man....today's prosthetics are beyond remarkable..... .

...certainly understand your sentiment.....and Simp-scum deciding to return to the spotlight does not help........... ...unfortunately Garcetti, Darden and Clark were woefully outmatched......

.....that's what I remember as well....inconsistent from week to week....one week we'd rival the Great Wall of China followed by WikiLEAKS next week..............

...maybe Fred Goldman tomorrow?............

...Pinstripe Bowl matchup.....Dec 27..........

...LMAO....good luck with THAT......should fly as well as the 737 MAX.......

...arrest warrants have been issued....

guess I missed the memo as to under what premise the OP launched this thread (NOT surprising for Oldtime- senior moments prevail)...CLIFF NOTES VERSION: don't we have a helluva long way to go before we start talking extension and/or termination?...isn''t the entire "process" and personnel/coaching newness transformation in the infancy stages, yet to be determined?....OR...should have Pegula just heeded the "expert TBD advice" of ...fire McBeane...fire McDermott....fire the Rockpile Beerman( something MUST be his fault), et all"?.....

....so are we getting premium quality new turf or did Erie County get a remnant deal from Max Pies on Transit Road??............

...he's a pretty pompous dude....thinks he knows everything....just ask 'em......this just in: the lipstick on his arse turned out to be HIS OWN.....

..then again, you have elite membership only afforded to 1,696 players annually, and pretty damn high paying as well....it is a PRIVILEGE and not a RIGHT...."life's not fair"?....yes. but for #1697 through 3,083+ on the outside looking in.....sorry but his "membership" is revocable.....

...agree bud...plenty of press about how he was missed doesn't mean "forgotten"....plenty of TBD posts asking for updates...thought that the kid was a bit smallish, but NEVER anticipated his veracity and contribution.....just another 5th round gem ala Meatball....so before I return to "under my rock", keep an eye on two more potential 5th round gems, Neal (2018) and Joseph (2019)...stay tuned....

....business is sure steady at "The Arcade"....................... 4 Dead, 56 Wounded in Shootings Across Chicago Three of the fatal shootings occurred Saturday, police said Published Jun 30, 2019 at 1:22 PM | Updated at 9:01 AM CDT on Jul 1, 2019 Four people are dead and at least 56 others have been wounded in a violent start to the weekend across the city of Chicago.

....I'm almost done, but my straw clogged up.........dammit..........

Former Browns lineman Joe Thomas has gotten ripped since retiring from the NFL Thomas has undergone an incredible transformation since calling it quits by Pete Blackburn CBS SPORTS It's only been a few years since Joe Thomas retired from the NFL, but you may not even recognize the former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman these days. That's because Thomas has undergone an incredible body transformation since hanging up his cleats, going from hefty to hunky rather quickly. After retiring at 312 pounds, Thomas appears to weigh ... much less than that now. Just take a look at the photo he shared over the weekend. Last year, Thomas revealed that he'd lost over 50 pounds since calling it quits, mainly by not eating like a professional offensive lineman. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/former-browns-lineman-joe-thomas-has-gotten-ripped-since-retiring-from-the-nfl/

....don't really know the answer.....look at the Joe Thomas transformation.......pretty similar to Gronk.........

....CORRECTION: it is the EU INsecurity Council, deathly afraid of its own shadow,........

.....already sitting for six and permanently enshrined on Goodell's radar......and you think social discretion should be a consideration?....naw, not at all...SMH...

...putting PED issue aside for a moment, I don't know what an NFL'er has for daily diet intake......look at some of these world class weight lifters...read where they must maintain a daily intake of 12,000+ calories......retire and drop down to 2,000 daily would cause some rapid changes IMO.......

....TWENTY induction speeches?.......ceremony would stretch out longer than the damn draft..............

...SLAM DUNK PERIOD Augie......this current age of backpeddling to UNDO is nothing more than candidates' extortive efforts to lure and secure votes....

...hell even the Confederate flag....we should go azz backward and undo a period in this country's history and discount the "Blue vs Gray Bloodshed" for political correctness?...fly the damn flag proudly my friend.....if Kaep is our measuring stick, we've sunk farther than I thought...just pathetic......
