  1. This is the best way to get better, go back 60 years and take it up at a younger age. As for me, used to play softball 4-5 days a week and golf once or twice. When I hit 60 the softball had to go, golf 4-5 days a week now. With the exception of tournaments, I always walk. Belong to a private club that gets privileges at a public course( preferred tee times, tournaments, etc.) Also belong to a private club. Kind of an enigma, both a trunk slammin' muni-player and a country club snob.
  2. I wouldn't get in that thing if you paid me a quarter of a million, had to be a total idiot to actually pay that much.
  3. If/when the conversation gets around to politics, I usually say " so, how bout those Bills?" Most often people get the hint and change the subject.
  4. Someone mentioned being a starter at a golf course. Both private clubs and the county courses are always looking for someone. Or outside mowing the course if you don't want to deal with anyone. If you work at Durand you might get the fringe benefit of having a beer with Steve O after your shift.
  5. Seems I'm the only one to watch them in the TV lounge in college just to meet chicks...pathetic.
  6. Which would have been a home game but for the "just give it to them" call.
  7. That's the guy, sad. Coaching HS football last I heard.
  8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90VdRPWtQz4 Play in question occurs at 2:28:55. You can also find Chris Berman's game recap on youtube which has a better angle of the feet but that one doesn't show the refs discussion following the play.
  9. 60's No "strike range" in football, hell, clothesline, wedges were legal, no 5 yard chuck rule, and Bills AFL champions back to back. Pitchers pitched every 4th day, no pitch count or bat angles, All Star game was a real game, players wanted the winner's portion. No 3-point line in basketball...at least until the ABA.
  10. This is actually a remake of an old baseball joke. It seems that Timmy had recently moved from Chicago to St. Louis. The teacher asked the class who everyone's favorite baseball team was. Everyone but Timmy said the Cardinals. Timmy said the Chicago Cubs. The teacher explained to Timmy that he lived in St. Louis now and his favorite team should be the Cardinals. Timmy said he didn't care, his grandparents were Cubs fans, his parents, aunts and uncles were all Cubs fans, and he will always be a Cubs fan. Clearly frustrated, the teacher said suppose your mother was a hooker and your father was a pimp? Timmy said they would be White Sox fans.
  11. I was worried things would get even worse at the border with title 42 ending. But now that I know the president and vice president have been closely consulting on this I'm feeling better about the whole situation. What's that that Irv says...oh yeah, what a mess.
  12. Almost happy that I have more yesterdays than tomorrows.
  13. My county is a test site for the latest NY state give away. New York is already the 3rd most...not sure what the word is....welfare friendly state behind only Vermont and Rhode Island. But apparently that isn't enough. Monroe county will be a test site for the next phase. Because apparently we're not giving away enough to those without jobs. So, in addition to the welfare checks and any other aid, 50 families will be receiving an additional $600 per month for a year. But not just any random welfare recipients. In order to be eligible to receive the extra $600, the recipient must have been the target of a DPS investigation for poor care of their child(ren.) Somehow the family will be tracked for a year to see if the kids are better fed etc. a year from now than before. Might want to track drug and liquor sales in the area of the recipients while they're at it.
  14. Joe Kapp, former All-American at Cal, QB for Vikings, dies at 85 - ESPN Still tied for single game TD pass record (7.) Split time between CFL and NFL. Only one to play in Rose Bowl, Super Bowl, and Grey Cup
  15. In the video below his drummer Barry Keane tells the story of the tape used for the release of The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. They were in studio doing a recording session and Gordon was talking about how he was almost finished with a song he had been working on about the wreck. One of the crew said why don't we give it a try now. Gordon agreed. Barry asked when he should come in, Gordon said he'd nod his head. Fortunately, they recorded the take as it was used for the release. Tried several times to improve on it but the first practice session tape was used for the release. Watched it last nite, thanks for the tip!
  16. One of my all-time favorites. Saw him a few years ago in Geneva, he was 79 at the time, He said that people learning to play guitar love his music because if they can learn 5 notes they can play every song he's ever written! Later that summer I was in Cape Cod and he was playing in a high school gymnasium. Guy just loved to entertain. Sad day, RIP.
  17. The entire Bills draft that year started 31 games for the Bills and 47 games for other teams (Tillman and Morris accounted for all but 12 of those starts.) I was severely ridiculed for my mock draft with him our first pick.
  18. Or better yet, not having your playing partner's caddie be familiar with the rules. Do a search on Gavin Hall disqualified. A guy in his group's caddie sought out a rules official after the round, shortly after Gavin was DQ'd.Tried posting a link but this is what I get Excruciating DQ hour after round ends pro's Q-School run (golf.com) At this point Young is still playing so either I missed something or no one noticed the violation.
  19. His second shot on 13 went a little wild so he hit what he thought was a provisional. He then found his second shot in a penalty area and took relief under the 2 club length from point of entry option and finished out the hole from there. Problem is one of the relief options from a penalty area is to play from your original position. So his relief had already been taken and he no longer had the other (point of entry) options. Pretty sure you'll see him get DQ'd. Similar thing happened to a local kid, Gavin Hall, in the Korn Ferry tour qualifier last year. Only difference was, after playing what he thought was a provisional, he found his original in a penalty area and played it where it layed, in the penalty area. He made par and signed for a 66, then found out he got DQ'd as he had already taken relief and no longer had the option of playing the original.
  20. Saying 2003 is when the Iraq war began is like saying 1941 is when the world war began.
  21. Big fan, being my doppelganger might have something to do with that. Spent the last 40 minutes watching his interview with Piers Morgan on youtube, really interesting and painful life, starting with his mother trying to self-abort him twice. Hop he can finally find peace.
  22. Cuomo did a lot on him last nite, opened the show with 2 segments interviewing one of his defense attorney's. As you say, pretty interesting. The video of his voice with their dog seems to be the deciding piece of evidence as he claimed to be somewhere else. As an aside, been looking for a reasonable, moderate voice since O'Reilly left Fox. I'm shocked that I may have found it in Chris Cuomo.
  23. Colts game 2021. Technical issues -Only time I ever used the phone option for tickets. Total disaster. Got through the line 15 minutes before game, couldn't get tickets to load. One of the staff tried to help, finally got to my seats with 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Weather issues-didn't rain pre game, opted for not wearing rain pants. Don't think they would have helped much, 40 and raining all game Game itself-we got blown out
  24. Definitely famous enough for this topic! Especially considering... Speaking of which, my nephews graduated from IHS in 2002 and 2004 and knew Rory McIlroy's wife, who graduated in 2003.
  25. Make love to Raquel Welch. Pitch to Tim McCarver. Stare down Bobby Hull on a penalty shot and make the save. Guess it's time for a new list...
