  1. My opinions are not ignorant, they are based on my experience. Graduated from RIT with a 3.75 grade point average. Spent over 30 years working in both large and small companies (mostly large.) Since companies put a lot of value on education I played the game. But I learned more my first week on the job than in all my schooling. I've also seen what goes in to ISO certifications. All programs get put on hold for two weeks and everyone scrambles to make sure all ducks are in a row for two weeks before an audit. Then everything goes back to normal for 5-1/2 months until the next audit. Comfortably retired now for what it's worth.
  2. When did we switch to metric?
  3. I put college degrees up there with ISO certifications. A lot of effort and money spent on convincing people that there is a lot of value in something that has very little.
  4. To the dumb point "...Taylor gives them that blind side protector..." Had to watch a second time to make sure Florida had a right handed quarterback, thought maybe I had missed something.
  5. With both Lynch and Freddie already on the roster, Spiller was certainly a luxury pick we could not afford. Roscoe and Everett were picked to give Losman some weapons besides Evans, give the new franchise quarterback every chance to succeed.
  6. Was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention Robb. Early in his career I agree. Later on, I think he was over used, especially in short yardage situations.
  7. New regime, new strategy. We now draft only players named Josh Allen with our first pick. After that, BPA.
  8. That would be 23 teams that regret NOT drafting him. If memory serves. And I'm sure at least 5 of the 11 that didn't draft Sapp regret it. Pretty sure there was something about a positive pot test, could have been something else.
  9. I'd hate to miss out on Warren Sapp by two picks because you beat MIami in two meaningless games.
  10. Being 62 myself, way too young. RIP Turk.
  11. Officially rooting for the Rams now. Please excuse me for a while, it appears to be getting a bit wet under my eyes, need to find some kleenex.
  12. Played Volleyball until I was 48, softball until 59. Now it's just golf. What can I say, after college no one wanted to take the afternoon off to shoot takedowns.
  13. Sounds like it was still worse that you deserved. But it also sounds like you got away with a few. Good you learned your lesson without anyone paying too high a price. Black lining, my friend died of cirrhosis at 45. He looked 85.
  14. This one sucks, did it eventually go away? I can't imagine with your friend the DD testifying that this would be upheld. I had a friend who had 3 DWI's. Would have had a fourth but the only one that he caused any damage in was the one he got away with. Drove into a phone poll in the middle of the night. Did enough damage that he couldn't go anywhere. Turned off the truck and put the keys in the ash tray. Lit a cigarette. Finished it, put it out and closed the ash tray and went to sleep. Next morning someone called the cops, he still couldn't pass the breathalyzer. Cop couldn't find his keys. Neither could he. Car got towed away. No proof as to who was driving, so no DWI. Lock smith had to create a new set of keys. After his truck was fixed he got it from the garage, lit a cigarette, opened the ashtray and there were his keys. (Yes he was an alcoholic.)
  15. Did they really have to include HR forward pass in it?
  16. Based on the reviews above I'll definitely watch. Thanks for posting.
  17. but, but...that's different. Oh wait, maybe it isn't. Actually the courts will decide both cases as Jeremy is suing.
  18. I mentioned Breaking Bad in the OP...as the best. Saw at least one other best and one other worst in this thread. Guess we all see things differently.
  19. It's not random, it's mistakenly mashing King and junior together. Guy has no history of racism, and do you really think he's going to risk a 6 figure salary job? As has been pointed out, Greenie did pretty much the same thing, apologized and moved on with his life.
  20. Karma is a beach. Believe she is being investigated for something to do with campaign contributions. It won't be long before her or one of her inner circle does something much worse than mashing a couple words together by mistake.
  21. I'm going to have to watch this one again...starting to come back to me. Great idea but I'm not sure how that would be pulled off
  22. The TV shows you want rebooted thread gave me the idea for this one. What long running (2 seasons or more) series had the best endings, and which had the worst? I'm talking about series where the writers actually tried to give a satisfactory ending, not where the series just ended because show was cancelled (Wayward Pines, Revolution, etc.) My vote for best ending is Breaking Bad. Don't remember ever being so satisfied with an ending. Worst was one of my favorites...Dexter. Let's face it, all of season 8 was pretty weak, but the ending was really bad.
  23. I have this sickening feeling that 2020 is the year age finally catches up with Brady and the Pats go 2-14 or something and end up with the first pick...
  24. Was psyched when I heard about it, bummed when it got cancelled before it ever aired. Jerry's dead now, wouldn't be the same without him.
