How tragic. May God bless his soul.

Dunno...anything's possible. With questions out there about TKO's health, it may be that any interest in him would be if, and after, he was cut by the Bills.

That Woodrow Wilson was a real fun guy.

The aliens changed the forum filter. Or probed the Moderators.

Dunno...if memory serves, they most always have sell-outs - good team or bad team, Gore or no Gore, going back a long time.

Could be. Too bad - he had some good moments.

Now you know why we old people control all the money. Be nice to us.

I can take it. TD's picks have prepared me for anything.

He can string out a play. A good fit in the Tamp-X defense.

Rodomontade!

Does anybody know who pirated "thong" away from the beach foot ware, for use as a name for female underwear? And relegated the former thong to now be called a "flip-flop"?

You're not young enough to know everything. There's your problem.

Yep. If I start on my 20, and my RB gets 0, 5, 4, 3, 6 yards, a 1st down or two, picks up rushers on the passes, then breaks through for 15 yards but gets caught from behind and I am then on the opponent's 30 - I am a very happy head coach.

May well be. But it is an old, old one. And certainly within Churchill's character. I saw an old b&w clip on tv some time ago, where Richard Burton related a story about being on stage when the "Old Man", as Burton referred, was in the audience of the playhouse. Hilarious tale...

An affectation that has an effect on the cool crowd?

Boo-la, boo-la!

Dolphins. That 0 for a decade run still smarts. While noting that things change, the Leafs are a part of sports history. I've never had warm feelings for the Argos, though. Tiger Cat fan here...

"The other thing that really sticks in my craw, is businesses come to the Falls (US side) and demand all sorts of incentives and tax breaks, etc. When they can't extort the gov't for enough, they set up on the Canadian side (where I'm sure they aren't getting huge incentives and tax breaks). These are AMERICAN companies. It is sickening." - Author unknown.

Older than that. Attributed to Winston Churchill, I dunno...70 years ago? At a dinner party where he was seated next to a particularly vexing woman: Churchill: "Madam, would you go to bed with me for a million pounds?" Woman: "Why Sir Winston, of course!". Churchill: "Madam, would you go to bed with me for 10 pounds?" Woman: "Why, no!!!" Churchill: "Madam, we have established that you are a whore. We merely haggle price".

Ohio is terrible for taxes, also. It's to the point where the State has a loan program for senior citizens, for the express purpose of paying their State, municipal, and property taxes. How embarrassing. A good deal of the problem is that in Ohio, schools are funded by property tax. The school systems put levy after levy increase on the ballot - and not just in November. A Tuesday in February, 6 months later, a Wednesday in August...the idea being to wear down voters and to do their best to insure the lowest possible turnout. They also unleash their students to go out and make people feel guilty. The system I pay taxes to got a hefty increase a few years back...it took them 4 tries, but it finally passed. They wrung their hands about the plight of the students etc. And then built a $750,000 football stadium. County levies are popular, too. At last count here in Hamilton County, there are seven of them that are funded by property taxation. A couple are valid. Some of them are there because politicians like to buy the votes of the numerous non-property owners. The old saying being - "If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can be pretty sure that Paul will vote for you". Ohio has recently been rated 3rd in overall taxation. And so, people are leaving. http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/article/682

Do you work a steady 3rd, Mead? Or rotate thru 1st and 2nd periodically?

Unless the Bills - a private corporation - sign a legal document saying that when they win the SB, they will return every penny they ever got out of the taxpayers - I'll take the 10K.

I remember hearing that he was a relentless studier of his opponents and of the the game - no detail too small, no tendency to minute to be examined and solved.

Don't dance around your original assertion about TKO and his relationship with CIN. No facts when you malign an individual?...then don't post.

He might want to try Ireland's sport - Hurling...
