It was impossible to find for a long while but they must have ramped up production because it's plentiful now. Letting it sit on rocks for 5 minutes is good, but a splash of ginger ale on it is even better.

Sweet. My work here is done.

Holy schnikes, you must have a trail cam at my camp.

I am a planner!

That was just the one in the on-deck circle for when I woke up

Or maybe because he was the best college receiver we've seen in years.

Congrats on your two new pets

Reported!

No worries; that was about 1000X more polite than some of the PM's I get

(Yes, that's actually me ; - )

Are you tired of the house too?

Well, he didn't say "where".

I think that up until recently, they were only using non-playoff teams for the show. That probably has more to do with those numbers than anything else.

I don't disagree; just trying to differentiate between folks who consider it an unfair advantage vs folks who find it tedious. Sports require tension to be interesting and the NFL is on a torrid run of doing things that remove tension from the game.

I think there are also some folks (read: me) who don't necessarily want it banned, don't care that it's unstoppable but still don't like it because it's just boring and predictable. 3rd/short used to be an interesting down; now I look at it as a chance to change the channel or go to the fridge. A league that emphasizes revenue over all else might be wise to consider that side effect.

Looks like it was an interesting meeting

The correct answer is Chris Spielman; accept no substitutes. But Raion Hill needs a shout-out; an absolute assassin at Safety until he broke his neck on LaDainian Tomlinson's hip.

Just going by memory but I think one of those guys might have been here more than one year?

I used to do that all the time too. 'Til the day my wife turned the oven on to 425 without knowing it was in there Pizza flambe'

Locked by the OP's request

I guess that's what it really boils down to. For me it's a guy that does multiple things at a very high level, is highly respected by both his teammates and opponents and causes coaches to specifically have to deal with him a certain way every week. Others look more toward voting contests or statistics; I prefer to watch what they actually do on the field.

They are all elite players on the field regardless of the popularity contests you prefer to rely on.

Smart teams pay for future performance, not past performance, imo.
