  1. That is how fast these thing travel. Approx 12 years ago I was on the phone with my daughter. She said to me "I have to go" and hung up. She was living in Herndon, VA. I had no idea what was happening to her and was scared. Less that a minute later my chair was rocking from side to side. I'm not sure that this one was as bad.
  2. My cousin told me that Tewksbury, NJ was the epicenter and she live just a few miles from there.
  3. How many of you felt it in the tristate area? They are calling it a 4.9 on Long Island. My house was shaking for a few seconds.
  4. I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I'm all out of love, What am I without you? I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
  5. Imo the most important change has to be wrt the transfer portal and NIL. I am not against either mind you. Far from it but they really do need somne sort of regulated system. OT Kadyn Proctor was a 5 star, top 10 overall player coming out of HS. He played well (not great) as a freshman. Proctor hit the portal after Coach Saban retired and went to Iowa Univ. (his home state). A few weeks later he decided to re-enter the portal and return to Alabama. Coach Ferentz wished him well, but he also stated that Proctor took more than 1/2 of Iowa's NIL money with him. As an Alabama Fan I suppose that this should make me happy but it does not. I mean, what is there to stop a great player from signing with the Tide, taking our NIL money, and splitting with it? As it now stands, the college players have more freedom that NFL players. Mahomes can't just decide that he wants to play for the Dolphins. He is under contract. Again. I am all for players getting paid but college football is in need of a fair system.
  6. Running away, to get away Ha-ha, ha-ha You're wearing out your shoes Look at you fooling you Making blues, of night and day Hee-hee, hee-hee You're stretching out your dues Look at you fooling you
  7. I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall I wanna holler but the joint's too small Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
  8. I am thinking that perhaps I'm going against the grain with my opinion. I have been very tough on McDermott but my initial reaction to this trade is positive but with a caveat. If he dedicates the early picks to WRs and OTs, I think it was a good move. I don't think that Diggs is getting better, and a #2 is frankly a bit more than I expected. This draft appears to be loaded with receivers and OL, and now is the time to focus more on the offense and these positions specifically. The caveat? If McDermott drafts safeties, corners and other defenders with the early picks we will be heading right back to the Levy/Jauron days and lose football games. I truly hope this doesn't happen but again, at this point I support the trade. Jmo.
  9. Mine is Jermaine Burton - WR - University of Alabama. I'm calling him a sleeper because he is a first round talent imo but I don't often read about him being selected in round one. here is why: 1) He is said to be a bit of a head case. 2) His quarterback (Jalen Milroe) isn't so great imo. Some of the passes in this video were very good. Others didn't hit Burton in stride. Milroe is not very accomplished at short to mid range passes imo. 3) It is worth noting that at the Alabama Pro Day, Burton chose QB Ty Simpson to throw to him over Milroe. I really can see this kid as a great #2 for Josh, who is 100x better than Milroe. I think that Jermaine would be open all over the field and score TDs. As always, JMO.
  10. I spent a little time on the mountain I spent a little time on the hill I saw things getting out of hand I guess they always will Now, I don't know, but I been told If the horse don't pull you got to carry the load I don't know whose back's that strong Maybe find out before too long RIP Robert Hunter
  11. Too much early focus on defense, which is probably a primary facet of what is wrong with McDermott and this team. Sorry BB, jmo.
  12. Yellow is the colour of my true love's hair In the mornin', when we rise In the mornin', when we rise That's the time, that's the time I love the best
  13. This sticks in my head all day.......
  14. Stand For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand, stand, stand Stand, stand, ooh Ooh
  15. As around the sun, the earth knows she's revolving And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May Just as hate knows love's the cure You can rest your mind assure That I'll be loving you always As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing, will grow older every day Just as all is born is new Do know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always
  16. It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down So don't be surprised to see me back in that bright part of town I'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again I'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
  17. Eboigbe at 163 would be an absolute steal.
  18. Marv Levy, after he brought in Jauron, his clone in many ways.
  19. Evans was decent. He was very fast but he was a one trick pony.
  20. Trust me, I went off big time. I said back then that it would set back the team 5 years. The truth is that I underestimated. Levy/Jauron were one of the worst combinations in NFL History.
  21. We had the #8 pick in rounds 1 & 2, and the 5th and 8th pics in round 3. With these four premium picks we wound up with 3 players: S Whitner, DT McCargo, and DB Youboty. With 4 picks!!! In round 4, we drafted Ko Simpson. All this on a team with no quarterback and a pi$$ poor offensive line. In all sincerity, everyone is entitled to their opinion on this and all other issues. That said, I'm sorry; how you could think that this was a good, or even half decent draft for the Bills is beyond any level of comprehension of which I am capable. Peace!
  22. My friends are so distressed They're standing on the brink of emptiness No words I know of to express This emptiness I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely, too When you don't know yourself
  23. Yeah that would suck but it does seem very possible.
  24. Whatever round they can get what they think is better value on a corner or a safety would seem to be the most likely.
  25. Then that time I went and said goodbye Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours! Here I am baby Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
