  1. So I'm late to the party on this one, but want to relay something I was told decades ago. My co-worker was pushing 60 at the time, told me his HS freshman football coach (early to mid 50's for a time frame) told him not to worry about where he fell on the weight-height chart. He was going to see a lot of these charts during his life, don't pay attention to any of them! Just shows that if we look hard, there's things we can all agree on.
  2. I'm just wondering why they went through the expense of sending a balloon. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to send people with cameras through the southern border?
  3. Kind of like the initial guesses about the savings that would be generated from the ACA (affordable care act, aka Obamacare) and thereby reducing the overall cost of health care for everyone.
  4. Statistically speaking, while I'm not sure of the exact breakdown, if you take the % of 80 year olds with dementia that still have it at 86, and add it to the % of 80 year olds with dementia that died before reaching 86, you will come up with 100%. Or was this a rhetorical question?
  5. Reminds me of something that happened in the 80's. Was living in Texas, girlfriend's mother took us to see this play. Her credit card bill that month said "Whorehouse - $90" I'll add the soundtrack from the movie Prefontaine to those already mentioned.
  6. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0518178/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm At one time the most beautiful woman in the world.
  7. Son of Evel Knievel Robbie Knievel, stuntman son of Evel Knievel, dies at 60 - CBSSports.com
  8. Good post. I've been saying for years that you can divide life in to two categories, important stuff and unimportant stuff. As far as unimportant stuff goes, football is at the top of the list. But it is still in the unimportant stuff category. Yesterday is proof.
  9. Look for the Bills to be at 4 Sunday. The Chiefs play in Las Vegas, so that has to be a 4 o'clock start. Unless Chiefs lose at home against Denver combined with Bills winning in Cincinnati, number 1 seed will be in play. Barring that scenario, SNF is out because that game might be meaningless to the Bills but important for patriots, league doesn't want teams resting starters which the Bills could do should Chiefs lose at 4.
  10. Your math is correct. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time...Hoover might have been elected president 4 times instead of Roosevelt if he had waited 4 years to run.
  11. My Dad used to drink Genny Cream Ale as well. Then he got a job.
  12. The other night I went to a Christmas concert. I had a few drinks, followed by a few more drinks, followed by a few shots of Southern Comfort. That's when I decided to do what I have never done before: I took a cab home. Sure enough, there was a DUI checkpoint on the way home. Since it was a cab, they waived it past. I arrived home safely and without incident. This was both a great relief and a surprise because I had never driven a cab before. I don't know where I got it from, and now that it is in my driveway, I don't know what to do with it!
  13. Great game, but determining the winner by alternating penalty kicks is like determining the winner of the super bowl by alternating extra points
  14. Being a boxing ref was a side gig for him. He was a DA as well as a district judge for several years. Even had his own TV gig for 3 years, Judged Mills Lane, which was Judge Judy's favorite reality court show. Rest in peace.
  15. Well, defensive holding is 5 yards automatic first down. Offensive holding should also be 5 yards but automatic 4th down. Either that or do away with the automatic 1st down on defensive holding. Hate seeing third and 20, a 5 yard hold away from the play but the drive continues because of the piddly a$$ holding call.
  16. And take Kamala with you. Otherwise, be careful what you ask for.
  17. You do understand the difference between deficit and debt? Expected deficit for 2022 is 1.15 trillion. That's trillion with a T. Most of any non-pandemic year. At least according to Joe the pandemic is over.
  18. Great Punter, Great quarterback, great defensive back. Yet, what he is most remembered for is his comment to a sports writer after the Redskins lost to the Bears 73-0 in the 1940 title game. After the Bears opening scoring drive, the Redskins were about to tie the game when a receiver dropped a sure TD pass on third down, followed by a missed field goal. A writer asked Baugh if the game might have had a different outcome had Malone not dropped the pass. Baugh replied sure, we would have lost 73-7.
  19. Certainly the incident was a setback of monumental proportions but his live was not ruined. Don't know if it cost him millions or not, but he did make millions from football and presumably more on the doc. Also has a beautiful wife, daughter, and son on the way.
  20. On a serious note, with winter approaching, here is a simple method to convert your lawn mower to a snow blower. BUY HER A SHOVEL
  21. No shortage of Bills bars in Rochester. I watch away games from Silk O'loughlin's, very north end of St Paul Blvd in Irondequoit. Owner and many locals big Bills fans, his brother is a big Dolphins fan. Keeps things interesting. They get all the games so fans of all teams welcome. Watch home games from the 300 level so won't be there Sunday. https://silkoloughlins.com/
  22. Letitia James, continues to claim we need MORE DATA A local radio host a couple months ago likened this to telling someone to keep their hands on the top stove longer, you're getting burned because you're not leaving your hand on long enough. What's that Irv says...oh yeah...what a mess.
  23. It's all in the delivery. Want to make drifting, living on handouts, getting stoned sound good? Go to 16:40 of this clip from Taxi.
  24. Well, I'm not a tech guy so can't help you with the video, never heard of Osteen, so can't speak to his blinking. As to the part of getting rich from preaching, I don't even know if that's wrong. But Luke, Matthew, and John all have references in their books as Jesus saying (depending on what translation is used) "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
