  1. Thought there was finally going to be a game where McD's use of timeouts didn't have me screaming and pulling what little hair I have left out. Then he goes and uses one before the last play when the Bucs were clearly in loser formation. WTF.
  2. Before Howard Cosell got fired for his Alvin Garrett comment he insulted every mechanic in the country on MNF. There was a sign in the stands that read "SIPE IS A MECHANIC". Cosell started talking about how he disagreed with the sign because Sipe intelligent and quick minded. Gifford commented that mechanics were also intelligent. Cosell responded "Not necessarily."
  3. This. My father fell for the scam in his 90's. When I called RG&E to see what could be done to lower my parents bill they said to change back to them as the service provider. Bill immediately went down over 50%.
  4. MVP still has a 0 cost plan. Not sure about the income restrictions. They're pretty good about taking calls and explaining things. 800-324-3899
  5. Possible. You would think he would have plenty of low profile hot chicks to choose from rather than picking one that's on the road more than him.
  6. Nothing new here. Does anyone have a clip of her saying something when she doesn't sound absolutely hammered? Oh wait, she's dead serious about our strong and enduring alliance with the Republic of North Korea. Wonder if her supporters can identify the mistake in her speech?
  7. I was actually thinking about that game and how the game as well as the rest of the season didn't work out so well when I heard about the white out. Like Churchill said, those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Hope then rest of the season works out better than the post white out game in 2011.
  8. Not seldom for Johnston, as the OP mentioned. Season ended last year on opening day. Hauschka was never the same after the Anderson hit, though granted he was a place kicker not a punter.
  9. Wouldn't put a lot of faith in a test that is known to be less than accurate. Then again I've been misdiagnosed with prostate cancer and a tumor on my aortic valve, the latter resulting in unneeded open-heart surgery, the former in several painful biopsies, so I don't put a lot of faith in tests that are supposedly accurate either.
  10. Fixed now. RIP RR.
  11. Kind of sucks when our childhood heroes turn out to be jerks.
  12. Not even Christmas is sacred any longer. From 72 through 88, due to the "longest game ever" between the Chiefs and Dolphins messing up a lot of Christmas dinners, the NFL totally avoided games on Christmas. As an aside, in spite of game going 5-1/2 quarters, the actual run time was just over 3 hours 20 minutes. And the clock stopped on every out of bounds and incomplete pass. Commercials ran when there was a break in the action, they didn't break the action to run commercials. From 1989 to 2019, there were games on Christmas if it fell on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Since 2020, Christmas day games are the norm.
  13. So we had two 4th round picks in 2011. Are you upset about Hairston or Searcy? Both had decent careers for 4th rounders. Maybe it's this year's first round pick of the same last name as Hairston that has you so upset?
  14. Hated the Cardinals and by extension their ace Bob Gibson growing up. Or maybe it was Bob Gibson I hated and by extension the Cardinals. No matter, as the years passed I gained a whole new respect for the man. Best story I ever heard was the the second last batter he ever faced, Pete LaCock hit a grand slam off him. Gibson retired the next batter and never pitched again. 10 years later, in an old timers game, Gibson was in the dugout when LaCock came to the plate. Gibson ran to the mound and started warming up, telling Bob Feller to take a seat. He drills LaCock with the first pitch and shouts that he's been waiting 10 years to do that. The two went on to be Cardinals coaches at the same time, and never spoke a word to each other.
  15. Don't suppose you have any pictures you can post here?
