I've been calling Gillette Stadium the hallowed grounds of HGH Field for a few years now. That's the "ancient Chinese Secret" for ole TB. None of this will help keep him from getting plastered by some 22 year old who is stronger, faster and harder hitting than anything he's ever seen before. the day is coming, and i will laugh, and laugh, and laugh....

I'm in Reading!! Pretty traditional. Mom coming down from Buffalo this year. Roasted Turkey Brined Turkey Breast Stuffing Garlic Mashed Potatoes Creamed Peas & Carrots Brussel Sprouts Gravy Rolls Apple & Pecan Pies

It's right outside the HR office, so only about 50, maybe even less. I'd rather sit at my desk naked than drop a deuce at work , so i don't do the exec lounge thing . . .

When i need to clear my head, i go for a short walk. Up the stairs on the east wing where my office is, over through the lobby, down the stairs on the west wing (no, not that one), then past the cafeteria back to my office in HR. Sometimes, i stop for a small coffee at the Corner Perk. it's about 250 steps and 2 staircases, and the views out the back toward the rolling hills around Reading are spectacular. I do this 2-3 times a day. Helps me get my fitbit steps too . . . .

It’s neither a catastrophe for the GOP nor a breakthrough for the Dems. Nobody should get cocky, especially since voters basically hate both parties. But, but, but the NYT and WaPo, those bastions of "fair and balanced" reporting are telling me that Dems winning Blue states is the harbinger of DOOM for the Republicans. I don't understand??

Any of the women in this one, but the blonde in particular.

How much longer can he be an effective locker room guy when his on field production is so fugly. I can honestly state that my ear for his locker room talk would tune out given the way he performs on the field . . .

and that makes him such attractive trade bait. Oh wait . . .

^^^ This . . . Partying and drinking champagne with 80,000 of my closest friends that entire second half.

interesting stuff. The SA goings on are not getting a lot of press, at least to my knowledge. I wonder what the connection is?

I recall there being a minor uproar on these forums that we didn't hire Hue Jackson. Bullet dodged IMHO . . . And McAdoo is unlikely to last the week. he's lost the locker room.

Did that become Rootie's? pretty good wings, best blue cheese dip ever. I'm usually good for 10, but i try to limit the frequency of the intake as I'm on the wrong side of 50, and should be eating Salmon and steamed broccoli.

that's the real deal for me. Time after time, this team has gotten to the brink and faltered. Like many of you, i want to Bill-ieve, and the Tampa comeback as a good start, and good evidence that the team has turned the page. Time to step up and beat a team that you are supposed to beat, on the road, in prime time. Cliche machine out!

I've had three (yes 3) LG TV's go belly up on me in the past 2 years. A 55", a 40" and a small 22-24" None of them were more than 2 years old. Obviously, never buying an LG TV (or anything LG) ever again.

ESPN had the Pat*s at #1 last week? Heck, even 2 THIS week is a bit high with the Steelers , Rams and Vikings playing well and the Chiefs back on track . . . . Yet another reason i pay very little attention to them . . . And some pinhead from SI put the Bills at 18??? Why am i torturing myself with this? As someone said in another thread, the NFL has their own Power Rankings. They're called standings. Moving on . . .

I spent a month in Escanaba one week. Funny story. I flew into Green Bay and then drove up. I passed quite a few places offering "pasties" which to my knowledge are small disks used to cover nipples. I'm thinking - what the hell is going on up here that i've driven past a dozen places selling nipple covers???!!! Turns out they are pronounced past-eez, and they are small pies filled with meat and parsnips (google says rutabaga) that must be eaten with loads of ketchup. I was underwhelmed by them. They come in a half-moon shape, and the reason is so they would fit comfortably in the arm pit of miners to keep warm 'til lunch. That could only enhance the flavor of the pasties . . .

Definately. Its rediculous how bad it gets.

Free bird And Magic Power by Triumph - love that song but not even close to that range. And anyone who has ever seen/heard the version of YYZ from Rush in Rio knows that you can definitely sing along.

oh come on! BB saw this as a chance to screw a divisional rival as well

A) the number of commercial breaks/length of game. everything is a reason for a TV timeout it's annoying. B) Officiating is atrocious, and blatantly biased towards bigger markets/better draws. I've said for years that the WWE has better officiating than does the NFL.

Why is MMQB's talking point about McD "obnoxious" about turnovers. Should he not be that?

Same here, and yet I'm astonished at the number of former class mates who turned out to be gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean a few were/are obvious, but there are quite a few headscratchers - going both ways (if you know what i mean). I think i took 3 showers the entire 4 years of HS. A lot of my friends went to Cheektowaga HS (78-82) and they had to swim naked and to a man, they ALL hated it.

i'm loving this . . . i hate to bring bad karma, but this dude deserves everything he's getting today. LOL

Amazing to see what competent coaching can do for a talented team.
