I didn’t even try ranch until I moved south. Now bleu cheese tastes like ranch with feta in it to me. But this is only an issue with mild or less spicy wings. Once the heat of the sauces goes past Tabasco levels, i’ll take either and be fine with it.

Frazier a “Serious Candidate” for Texans HC gig.
benderbender replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Frazier deserves another shot at a HC job. We deserve compensation that will help us reload. He can talk Watson into staying and possibly restructure Watt's contract and squeeze the last bit of juice out of his career. -
The Fight Is Only Beginning
benderbender replied to Maybe Someday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hate to be the wet blanket, but we have to decide on whether to resign or let multiple players walk. We have to extend Allen. Decide on Milano. And we draft 29th. This really was our shot to shoot. We don’t merely keep the same Madden roster. The front office has to reshuffle the deck and figure out what to do with the most overrated and highest paid Dline in the league. I’m hopeful they can pull it off and that we are a better FA destination than in years past, but let’s not paint too rosy a picture. We don’t have much cap money to spend after resigning. But here’s hoping McBeane and co are smarter than everyone else. -
What was our defensive identity this year? Waiting for the All-22, but if you could isolate one play on defense where we didn’t play scared aside from the one good hit Hyde put on a RB. Whether it was refusing to attempt to bump Kelce at the line, or letting all 5’ nothing 170lbs of Hill intimidate our entire staff, we clearly didn’t think our defense had a single strength to play to.

How are you passing the time today?

I dig it. And the old tv show format is at the same time funny and disturbing. Only 3 episodes out so far so nobody is too far behind. -

Totally watching WandaVision with the wife. Just have the laptop out to warm my lap. Not watching hype videos or anything. -
Eagles hiring Nick Sirianni as HC

Apparently we had to slap Philly's hand away from our OC -
I would love GB for a few reasons. They're defense is middle of the pack. They have good players but are exploitable. Rodgers/Adams are their primary offensive weapons, and if they aren't perfect, they lose. If we should happen to lose, I can live with losing to a hall of fame worthy non-cheater with a great sense of humor.

The trend is toward player mobility and empowerment. The you only have to look at Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown to see that the bell has already been rung. Watson has a sterling reputation both as a player and in the community. The Texans incoming HC has Watson’s public unhappiness and a practically untradable contract in Watt to contend with. Watson may not have the contract leverage, but he’s got fan/public support.

A sense of calm this week...

No one expected this team to go this far. All the pressure is on the reigning champs to defend their dirt. We’re playing with -
Would it help any to know that Marrone also wears his wedding band during football games?

Is this a serious question? Yes. Exactly what has the NFL done to assure you that it has player safety paramount? The fact that there are games during a global pandemic slightly shades that. They actively fought to suppress concussion research studies. They played defense against paying for retired players healthcare. I could go on. I may be wrong, but I think you meant that the NFL wouldn’t overtly rubber stamp him to clear him to play. And I agree. They wouldn’t publicly do that. But if they really cared so much, they wouldn’t allow him, or any other concussed player to have to option to play. The concussion protocol is their legal protection and plausible deniability. “It’s not our fault he hurt himself. He completed the protocol, team doctors cleared him, and he WANTED to play.” Thoughts and prayers and no refunds.

For those who haven't donated yet, scroll down to the bottom of the page and be sure to search for your employer to see if they'll match your donation. Mine would match for $100, but not the pittance they pay me to afford. Good to check just in case. Perhaps you can double it up.

Cowherd in particular seems to parse his shows line up by at mathematic formula of most popular demographics + best selling jerseys divided by trending Twitter rankings. Stumbled upon the Twitter portion by accident when I was listening in my car on the way to work and just happened to hit the Trending tab. He didn't even mix up the subjects to make it seem less obvious. He hit them in order.

He's back. WR Jake Kumerow signing to practice squad.

With those long locks, he can transition... into any hairstyle. -
Trent Murphy was worthy of the cap hit
benderbender replied to Max Fischer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Murphy seemed to be immune to Lamar’s jukes. He’s the one member of the party who has that one unique skill. Like the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings that find every reason to fall backwards.
