Honestly, I think delivering several big bags of cash 💰 to the ref’s union office might help. Like… seriously.

Or… not fumble a kickoff?

Have a Facebook friend from the Lyme disease community whose son was signed by Elon U and is getting some minutes as a C/F frosh. So I’ll root for him… unless they play UConn.

Somebody needs to wear a pearl necklace on the field?

Has the NFL's partnership with gambling ruined your experience?

It makes me very uncomfortable / wary. -

Not understanding why Sanders is Josh’s first and second look any time he’s on the field. -
Bills want stadium deal done by the end of the year
UConn James replied to BuffaloBills1998's topic in The Stadium Wall
If this game isn’t enough to convince TPTB to put a retractable roof over the new place…. This is all kinds of sloppy, for the third time this year and we haven’t even hit the cold yet. As the effects of climate change hit harder over the life of the next stadium, we’re going to have this even more. -

Spin Doctors and Soul Asylum at Riverside / what is now 6Flags New England in the early-mid-90s. Pocketful of Kryptonite still holds own in rock albums.

Well, this is the way to jinx a guy. It’s like every time an announcer states how such and such kicker has made all of his attempts from whatever distance range, the dude misses. This thread is like being in the dugout and mentioning that a guy has a no-hitter in the 8th inning. You just don’t do it!

Referee Tony Corrente corrupt as *****!!!
UConn James replied to Bubba Gump's topic in The Stadium Wall
The quality of officiating has dropped precipitously, such that they are acting on instructions from the league to make games closer and the same old Most-Favored-Teams & Most Favored Players… or something is doing with betting. It’s been bad before but not to this level. I had four games on screens this weekend and it was like every play, three games had a flag. The fields are being carpeted yellow. And it’s becoming unwatchable like this. -
Whatever it is, and whatever they say they connect in practice… Josh and Sanders just haven’t looked to be on the same page in games. And that Sanders seems to have taken some of Diggs’ looks as well as Gabe Davis’s reps, I think his signing was subtraction by addition. This may be an unpopular opinion but it’s what I’ve felt looking at the games. We finally went to Diggs on one drive in the second half and that was the only time we moved the ball well.

I don’t have stats in front of me, but my feel having seen all the games is that Josh is looking at Sanders first. And I don’t understand why, at this point. So many balls that have gone Sanders’ way are just waaay off. The trade-off of dropping Brown and signing Sanders was definitely not an upgrade. HAVE to get the ball to Diggs, no matter how. Short routes. Jet sweep. Whatever. Noticed on a couple of plays that Diggs was just walking / shuffling around while Josh was still looking for an option. Inexcusable. But I think it may be the attitude creeping back in… I’m not the prime target, I’m gonna save energy. Daboll’s play-calling isn’t fooling anyone anymore, if it ever did. I think he’s taken Josh as far as he can. It’s time to learn from someone else. And for this season, at least right now, if McDermott had ANY balls he would give play-calling to Dorsey (and cut Ford’s fat ass immediately).

Exorcise the demons that reside in the blue pants. So many losses in them.

The field is just carpeted yellow today. LET THEM PLAY. -
Theory about the Chief's Downturn Root Cause
UConn James replied to jethro_tull's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well… I mean… karma. -
At the end of point 9, you meant, “… gave the Dolphins a clear advantage”, right? They were mauling our DL and it was crickets. On the almost-sack of Tua on the first(?) drive on a 3rd & 9, Hughes was getting mugged, his shoulder pads were being dragged/ripped across his chest. We get the early sack there, the first half goes quite different, I believe, if only in field position improvement.

Someone needs to address the Jerry Hughes blackball issue.
UConn James replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
You think those shows want to piss off the NFL? Rocking the boat too much can only be bad for the golden goose that is their ad revenue for blowing hot air about a game. -
Someone needs to address the Jerry Hughes blackball issue.
UConn James replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
The refs and refs union HATE Jerry with a passion. Getting that red suspended for calling him a b-word on-field and the altercation in the tunnel is always going to color how he is seen. They ignore when he gets absolutely mauled, like the almost-sack of Tua early, and they had been quick to toss yellow on him… although less so this year. I’ve been advocating to move on from Jerry for a couple of seasons now. What he brings is just not worth what he costs in terms of ref-hate. He’s doubtful to be re-signed after this season, given Beane’s draft investment in DE/DL. -
Well, the kids will have to learn about it sometime

Man, I’m not usually one to go for these short vids, but it got me a bit 🥺. If anyone more savvy than I can embed this, that’d be cool. Putting the link below to the SportsCenter Instagram. Per the word, Tyrell’s best friend had been serving overseas for the past four years and the walk-out in KC a couple weeks ago where the friend was in the stands was the first time they’ve seen each other since college, I’m gathering(?). https://www.instagram.com/reel/CU-HW1flCiY/?utm_medium=copy_link

Although I don’t visit or post on here as often as I once did, it’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen anything from him. He always seemed like a good egg. I carry on his use of ‘Merry Natal Anniversary!’ as an alternatively worded birthday wish.

I was diagnosed in 2015 at age 35 after suspecting it for some time.
