  1. I really don’t think that’s part of the Competition Committee’s area. When the one-shell rule was ‘revealed’ to the media, it was with the then Tampa Bay coach saying that the Bucco Bruce Orange creamsicle set would not be worn in an upcoming game, as had been planned prior in the offseason / ramp-up to the season in ~July, when these uni schedules have recently started to be officially released by teams. I expect that call was made by a safety committee in conjunction with the docs involved with CTE studies. The UniWatch’s Paul Lucas & Sports Logo forum’s Chris Creamer started a podcast a couple of months ago and a recent one had the one-shell rule as a main topic. There has been a rumor that the one-shell rule will be ending. They don’t know if this year or next; nor is it for certain, as is the nature of rumors. But it has been a kinda persistent one. But so far, I don’t think there’s been any leaks from any clubs about any possible second helmet color. Perhaps at the draft? Perhaps there will be an announcement later into the offseason? Or perhaps, in the same manner as its inception, a team will just show up with a different helmet.
  2. It’s almost like “Yesterday.” This one’s been on my mental movie queue for awhile. Need to finally get to it.
  3. You must have missed maybe the most crucial line of the movie, then.
  4. Yes, but I would imagine there would be some kind of signing bonus involved that they probably want to put at least some of on this year’s cap.
  5. Imagine being the ex-Panther that McBeane DOESN’T sign.
  6. Space for re-upping Josh Allen is my bet.
  7. To say nothing of OLines being given the freedom to hold and/or maul DLmen... it takes away the imperative.
  8. Who the heck named Kwity (Quitty)? I’d still want to take the LB from Mizzou that folks here were projecting to replace Milano. Need a good LB corps & depth.
  9. Is it just me or is AT&T Lily getting a bit plump all over as well as they’re hiding her midsection with tables and crossed arms. Is she 🤰🏻?
  10. Yeah. Why were banged-up (broken leg, literally) Beas and a knee-injured nothing-burger John Brown better options in the KC game? Were they, at 70%, better than McKenzie at 95%? I understand My-Yami was running for the buses in the second half, but... 🤷🏻‍♂️?
  11. If / when they go to 17, it really should trigger a second bye week and making the roster management changes from this COVID season permanent. Perhaps increase rosters to 55, as well.
  12. My mum passed just over 5 years ago now. At times that feels like a long time ago and at times it feels like it was yesterday. I was a caregiver during two years of pancreatic area cancer (ampullary node) and the end was extremely difficult to witness. Like Wacka, I often have dreams where there was a mistake of some kind and she’s still alive. I’m autistic (Asperger’s as-was before the DVM-5) that was quite late-diagnosed and had depression quite awhile before I started getting treatment / meds for it shortly into my mum’s cancer fight. It’s gotten a bit deeper since. Not suicidal / harmful to others, just to make that distinction. But just felt kinda rudderless, hollow, and so very tired all the time... the kind that even 24/7 sleep can’t help if I could sleep that much and I have lots of sleep disturbance (may be due more to autism as it’s been that way all my life, really). Doc has tried different meds to little/no/worsening effect. Talk therapy maybe helped a bit but haven’t been in almost two years after my last left the clinic I go to; and the turnover was such that it just seemed fruitless to start over again with a new one. Maybe I should start that again but with how it is now with the ‘Rona, I have lots of issues doing that over the phone; I just don’t like talking on the phone. Video is slightly easier. As for bereavement, maybe give that a try. (For myself, there were none in my area and I have difficulty with social settings.) The 😭 grief has for the most part blunted over time and the chest pain associated with grief does resolve (I had tremendous chest pain for about 6 months and then it was like spontaneously gone 🤷🏻‍♂️). Probably the most comfort I’ve gotten has been my dog, to be honest.
  13. Compound fracture of a leg bone and a fractured ankle, reportedly. The ankle is the big deal. Certainly never gonna be the same; that injury and usual treatments haunts you forever movement-wise and pain-wise.
  14. May have been marital issues if he was in a hotel for a month+. That can trigger a lot of stuff. 😟
  15. I would hope they could do both throwback versions. The Rams have said that they want to release new kits into their lineup each year for the next 3 years. We’ll have to see what the league comes up with for what they allow. Personally, I would favor if they did an old-school throwback weekend in the Thanksgiving week games, and maybe a ‘90s throwback weekend somewhere.
  16. I dunno about fishy. It sounds like he wasn’t actually arrested & charged for it until now. So it wouldn’t have appeared in any available paperwork / release.
  17. Reportedly, he blew a .02, which is less than the .08 threshold in NJ. But IDK what the specific law is where he could be charged; perhaps it’s in combination with a driving violation where anything but 0.0 gets you charged with DWI. Just very stupid / 💩ty / hypocritical of him to not inform Jeep about this when it happened 3 months ago so they could decide whether to run the ad / keep him as a spokesperson.
  18. I mean... I would say the number of folks who have landline JUST so they can call their own cell phone to find it has got to be a very high percentage. My dad is ALWAYS losing his phone. Doesn’t put it in a consistent spot, piles all kinds of shizz on top of it (coats, hunting magazines, newspapers, etc.), or forgets it in the car. Every time, he threatens to throw it out into the lake. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #OldManSyndrome
  19. Just a little-funny to take the edge off:
  20. Business Insider: Landlines predicted obsolete by 2020 in 2018. I’ve read other ones saying landlines will be phased out by 2025. It may be a good idea for the industry to keep the infrastructure in case of future problems / as a backup / for national security reasons (like HAM radio still has a purpose if telecom goes down / is attacked), but the cost disparity of maintaining lines, advancing technology and such makes it headed for death for the consumer market.
  21. We just do Internet with Spectrum ($53/month), and I have antennas for over-the-air broadcast for teevee. The Spectrum Mobile is $18/mo per line and is a separate entity from Spectrum, seemingly. Good enough for me and I don’t see it changing. But yeah, the price for the bundling is cheaper for whatever reason if you bundle the three than just bundle cable & internet. Seems contrary to logic, but there it is. Nice to know that it’s negotiable tho. I mean, I read awhile back that landlines were being necessarily phased out, but 🤷🏻‍♂️ it doesn’t seem like the companies are in a hurry.
  22. Per PFT: Congrats on the title bump-up! With the looming question of Milano returning (I just don’t see it given the numbers), it looks like it’s time to revamp / revision LB use.
  23. The way to fight cold is with even MORE cold 🍦!
  24. Reducing the 30-yard sacks & sack-fumbles where the play is breaking down beyond ALL hope but he keeps backing up trying to make something of it. He was able to find some guys when in trouble, but he’s gotta get that sense down of when to cut bait. Hope he works on his handoffs. They just don’t have a quick, fluid motion or make any attempt to disguise what’s happening. Lamar Jackson seems like the master of this and that split second advantage he creates for himself or his RBs is big. We can’t expect Lamar but getting better at it is do-able.
  25. Milano was sent on blitz so many times and we STILL got zero pressure. We blitzed 6 (Milano & Edmunds) a few times and Mahomes still had all day and picked us apart. Why wasn’t Milano on Kelce all night?
