  1. Sean McVey ... "offensive genius"
  2. Hoping he does a Hulk Hogan type T-Shirt tear off while screaming "where would you rather be ..."
  3. Just remember that Kelly's first SB year was year 7 of pro ball ... JA17 is there now!
  4. How is that block in the back not called on the TD?
  5. Yes, but quitting mid-game makes him a complete negative in my mind. To me that's worse than hanging it up before the season starts.
  6. Hardly a Bill ... barely more than Vontae Davis in my opinion.
  7. I was hoping she was dressed as Taylor Swift and they were trolling Travis Kelce ...
  8. I mean that "Jehovah" was contrived from the consonants of YHWH and the vowels of Adonai (and dragged through a couple languages other than English). It's now a "word" ... but it literally does not appear in the original languages.
  9. Adonai is actually not the formal name of God that the Jewish faith refuses to say, out of respect for His name. Adonai is actually the name for the Lord that the Jewish faith substitutes for the name revealed to Moses at the burning bush. What we have in the book of Exodus is simply the Hebrew letters that transliterate as YHWH (often anglicized as Yahweh, but we literally aren't sure how it would have been pronounced as the vowel points have been lost to time). Another word, Jehovah, was the rough mixing of the consonants from YHWH (JHVH) and the vowels from Adonai. Jehovah is not a "real" word but has been used as the "name" of the Lord. Y'all are all good using Adonai.
  10. I'm guessing they didn't want Miami in that slot two weeks in a row ... Saving it for week 18
  11. I read this morning that he will have to pay back the five game checks for time served
  12. Then buys a Norwood jersey from Scott Norwood at the end ...
  13. Still available?
  14. Let me address a couple of points, since I am an ordained pastor in the Wesleyan Church (the same denomination as Eastern Hills Wesleyan). First, Kim (Kerr) Pegula's family has a long history in the Wesleyan Church denomination, especially in WNY. Her dad has served in lay leadership positions for many years and Kim graduated from Houghton College (now University) which is one the five Wesleyan Church denomination schools for higher Ed. Yes, it is from the Methodist line of churches, definitely not prosperity gospel or super charismatic. While some larger churches have more revenue, typically our denomination sets the basic budget for pastoral salary, and it is not exorbitant (typically think around $600-700/week). I don't know any Wesleyan pastors that are rich according to American standards. Now relative to the rest of the world, we're all extremely wealthy ... Secondly, it is not common, but also not unheard of, to hold a prayer service for those in serious health conditions. My church held one for a member who was intubated during the worst of COVID. She recovered and the family was supported through that time because of that service. Lastly, why would we assume we pray for someone after they pass? From a Christian standpoint, the time that God could typically intervene is before they pass. King David, in 2 Samuel, fasts and prays fervently for his newborn son. When his son passed away, he got up, washed and ate some food. His servants asked why he was no longer "mourning" (by fasting and praying) ... David's response was essentially while the boy was living there was still a chance that God would show his grace and heal his son. Once he died, the matter was settled.
