Jon in Pasadena

Yeah we ended up basically curb-stomping them. I actually felt kinda bad for the kids on the other team. Our guys just looked so much better coached, for the most part. Except our KO coverage kinda sucked. Yesterday the DB coach said he wants to put my kid on coverage teams because, in his words, "He's fast and I know he'll get down there and hit people."

Here in California there's apparently a shortage of HS referees, so this year's schedule is crazy. Our opener was last Friday, but the 2nd game is this Thursday night. And since Wednesday is a walk-thru, it means they only get yesterday and today for full practice. I heard the opponent this week has a 390 lb center. And they've penciled my boy in at backup NG.... this should be interesting. They don't do two-a-days anymore. Our coach does Oklahomas though. That's always entertaining.

AFAIK his socks game is on point!

If by "family-friendly places" you mean Hooters, then maybe we caught a game together at some point!

WR depth is pretty good. Actually they had my boy at WR during Spring so he learned all of the Offensive plays, and he and I would go over to a field and practice route trees. He's a pretty good receiver (great hands) but they have a bunch of "vets" ahead of him so they moved him to the Defensive side of the ball where he has a shot at more playing time.

Good luck at the game and to your boy. Tell him not to do anything *too* crazy...

So I've been dragging my kids to sports bars to watch Bills games since before they could walk, and they're both growing up solid Buffalo fans. This past Spring, my younger one surprised me by telling me he wanted to go out for his HS football team. He worked his butt off during Spring practices, weight room, etc., then when Summer practices started he made the varsity squad, but then somehow managed to injure his hip flexors & some other muscles around the lower back area, and basically couldn't do too much on the field for a couple weeks. We got him some therapy and they've been easing him back into drills, but he lost a ton of reps. Last Friday night was their first game, and near the end his coach put him in at MLB. On his very first play ever, the other team ran their biggest, baddest RB up the middle, and my kid correctly diagnosed the play, filled his assigned gap, and leveled the dude for minimal gain. I shed a tear. 🙂

A year late and $365 short, but kudos to you on your playing & courage to put it out there. I think you sound good. I've always loved bass & played for a while in a garage band during/after college, but never took it any further.

OK. Now he's got two spleens!

Blackshear so smooth.

Billsiest thing ever: Spend a draft pick to get the best punter in the history of Football. Never punt again.

Richard Gere ?

No, schlongs only have "P" CLs...

One Carrie is already one too many.

Good thing he wasn't trying to cut in line in the bathroom.

"A Salted Nuts Sunday" means something a little different in Buffalo... (or Rochester)

Ah yes, good old Emerson, Stills, Palmer & Nash. One semester in college I was stuck between dueling neighbors with powerful stereo systems and very different musical tastes. I woke up every Saturday morning in the middle of a progressive folk-rock nightmare. Good times.

Some questions are their own answers.

Cattaraugus County, probably.

If he makes an NFL roster, then I want to bring back John Brown so I can watch Smoke smoke Smoke Monday Sunday someday..

LOL, Ramsey 😂

The last thing through his mind should have been his phone.
