I'm not going to lie, i'm "old school" so i like gritty, hard-nosed, hard fought grid iron battles. It reminds me of the old days when teams just beat up on each other and the team that had the most fortitude, patience and who could impose their will, most often times won. That's what i'm seeing from this team.....a team that can impose their will. The first half of games are concerning for the most part, as it seems like they are usually just kind of seeing what the opposition is trying to do and in the second half, they just straight up play ball, dominate and impose their will.....kind of like, "oh yeah, well we saw what you're bringing to the table and here's a little something we bring to the party"....almost like a back and forth chess match. I love it.

You see that with older players who've lost their edge and lost a step......they play a little dirtier to try to keep up and "even" the playing field. Poor Poyer, it's just not working out for him.

True story......we used to tape the Sears catalogue to our shins as hockey pads when we were playing street hockey as kids.

Looks like Black Monday is coming earlier and earlier each season

My financial guy only made money with me when i cashed out, however, we would get together to go over what was hot in the market and decide where to keep shuffling the money around......sometimes it was Science and Research in Germany for 6 months (if rumors were abound with upcoming European medicine) and then we would shift it over to North America and Japan for Technology for a couple of months, but we were constantly shifting the money around from one thing or another. It was definitely in my financial guy's best interest for me to keep making money and keep shifting it around to where we saw the biggest gains. When i eventually cashed out about 5 years later (i needed a mortgage and used my capital gains), the financial guy took his percentage (i forget the amount). The whole 5 years that we were investing, i paid him zero money (only upfront for the initial investment) and nothing else was paid until i cashed out.....almost like an RRSP, but with a lower percentage paid. I know that even though i would get the bulk amount at the end when i cashed out, he was still making money, on my money from quarterly dividends on his end (which was essentially my money) that i wouldn't see until i completely cashed out. So, when he paid all the restaurant bills and he said it was MY money, he was absolutely correct that it was MY money.

Wow, 3rd best......not from what i've seen, but if that's what they're going with, i won't argue.

My financial guy used to take me out to classy places all the time to discuss my finances and every time i would offer to pick up the bill, he would always pay it......every single time. The one night we went to a fancy restaurant and then went out to see the strippers and i went to pick up the bill and he pays it again, the whole bill.....i told him that i didn't feel right that he always paid, and he says, "I'm YOUR financial guy, handling YOUR money......it's YOUR money that is paying these bills". Once that light went on and the realization hit home, we went to coffee shops after that. True story.

Oh, ye all of little faith......i've been yelling from the rooftops since we drafted Ray, that he is something special and you're seeing what he brings to the team, both on and off the field. Never have i wanted more to ever see a guy succeed in this league. He was special in college (i don't think he ever got the credit he deserved) and he is a guy that teams have to game plan for every week.......Cook and Davis, as a one-two punch and just like yesterday, if D's fail to keep an eye on him, he slips through the cracks and runs it straight to the house. Bravo, my good man......bravo.

Yeah, we used to go through these things in the 70's when we were trying to figure out what we wanted for Christmas......Sears was the main staple for just about anything back then.

...........check out "hot plate" on certain web sites and let me know again how much you love to analyze your shiza.

I'm just going to start calling him "Shifty".

I got problems.

As far as my wife knows, it was the dogs

Wow, RIP Quincy. That man was a musical genius, a legend and an innovator of the highest degree. I mean, who else but him basically has his name on every genre of music throughout the years?......truly a legend in the game.

Bass definitely deserves major props for today. I mean, we all get a little nervous when he is asked to kick anything, but he won a lot of hearts today and won us the game. ......and i am not ashamed to say that i like Journey.

As bad as Bass has been, i had no problem going for the FG......at worst, he misses it and we're probably going to OT and considering how bad our D played today, we were probably pretty lucky to even get to OT. FG's........love em or hate em?

You know what i do to keep my wrist strong?........never mind.

Agreed. Fins fans on social media all off season were saying the Bills had a "fire sale" and dumped Poyers contract, not realizing we were actually dumping dead weight......they're realizing it now.

Starters.......love em or hate em?

I'm a huge gin drinker......hated it for years, but my brother-in-law (not the pissy mattress guy) turned me onto it a few years back. Bombay and tonic, with a twist of lime/lemon......i could drink that all day long.

61 yards with room to spare.......i'll bet he could have hit 71 yards on that kick. My god, welcome back old friend.

Dammit.... I love em, but i'm quite partial to nonsense and nonsensical topics that have zero direction and just wander around aimlessly......you know, kind of like my mind, my life, etc.

She does actually, but i wouldn't subject anyone to that torture.

Congrats.....that is a huge deal for a 5-year remission. **** cancer, man.

What the hell is going on with Penn state?........lost to Ohio state again and i have no idea if the committee will even keep them in the top 10 after this. Horrible game plan and Franklin played scared all game long.
