  1. All ESPN has to do is make segments like this. 8 minutes and 34 seconds of great television.
  2. What led me to believe it's the dreaded slowdown is that estrogen acts as a fuel to thyroid cancer, which she had sometime ago. She's likely been advised not to take HRT and risk the potential spread to other soft tissue in the body. He was, in turn, likely in a relationship with a beautiful woman that increasingly had no interest in being touched as the hormones fade. With no children to be impacted, why be roommates?
  3. Lamar Jackson. Chronic health issues and a fragile knee that likely isn't right. He's a black box of medical issues. Why Baltimore did that deal, I'll never understand.
  4. She's 51. He's 46. Menopause (and manopause) takes no prisoners on relationships. My completely unsubstantiated speculation is the well ran dry on one end or the other.
  5. An interesting coffee table book would be the homes of the Bills players . No real commentary other than a picture of the house, and name of player. You figure with Josh Allen or Von Miller money, you live in a place like Dana Point. But what if you're Boogie Basham or Dean Marlowe, or James Cook on a rookie deal?
  6. I think his entire career came down to that Jacksonville playoff game because it was an inflection point for the franchise to be in it, and to boot, a very winnable game. I think TT gets the Fitzy treatment if the Bills win that game.
  7. Well, they'd all suddenly take up an interest in minor league baseball. 😀
  8. Voted "not bad." Sure, it would have been great if the Bills won them all. I think fans generally underappreciate how utterly dominant the Bills were in the 1990s. You're very unlikely to see a team go to four consecutive SBs ever again. The Bills went to playoffs in eight of the ten years in that decade. It's also a symbol of how great the NFL used to be IMO - when teams could build teams of great players vs. today where you get to have one great player.
  9. I really like the mini-Buffalo logo. That is sharp.
  10. The ARA San Juan, an Argentinian diesel single-hull sub, imploded at just 3,000 meters in 2017. A USN Seawolf sub, with a state-of-the-art, classified hull design, has a crush depth of 2,400 meters. This dude took a barely tested carbon-fiber hull down to 13,000 meters. These billionaires had to be on some sort of drugs to get in that rickety-ass submersible.
  11. From what I understand about the sub, it had no redundancy in operations - there was no plan B for power or communication. It had crude design - controlled by a PlayStation controller and navigated by text message. Dangerously naive. It all sounds like a very bad idea. There are fishing boats that hit the lake with more robust design. If they happen to survive, there's no way they should be permitted to do it again.
  12. Play every game as if if they burned the ships behind them. That goes for the coaches too.
  13. I feel a sense of uneasiness. There's a sense there's something off with this team of players, and it wasn't resolved this offseason. The Bengals game (no one showed up by the fans), Frazier's unusual exit and Stefon Diggs's absence at camp are all symptoms.
  14. I think his seat is hot. He's 2001 Tony Dungy to me. Another lackluster playoff performance could do it. It's a Super Bowl window year with a Super Bowl roster.
  15. Jobs that retirees I know have: Street sweeper operator Very short haul truck driver (back and forth between warehouses) Grocery store stocker Grocery store cashier Lab courier (picking up bloodwork from labs) Prescription delivery Equipment rentals clerk (he teaches homeowners how to use the equipment and also not kill themselves) Range safety officer/firearms instructor Small engine mechanic Generally, in my area, there's a niche of jobs that 1) teens used to do 2) people who now work at warehouses used to do 3) simply can't find someone wanting part-time work in that particular job - like the trucking and street sweeper. Grocery stores in my area will give a retiree all the hours they could possibly want.
  16. "The iceberg floats on water with only approximately 10% of its volume above the water and 90% of its volume below the water."
  17. His career has mystified me in that if a HC position was the ultimate career goal, why didn't he go the Pete Carroll/Lovie Smith route and go to the college ranks to hone those skills? Pete Carroll was a much better coach at Seattle than he was in NE because of his stint at USC. I feel Leslie Frazier waited too long and that window has closed.
  18. With SD being an understudy of Jim Johnson, I'd expect: 1. Misdirection all the time. No more predictable "oh we'll just rush 4...."" 2. Many more blitzes from the secondary and linebackers. 3. Many more opportunities for interceptions.
  19. I think Trump is vulnerable. I also don't think DeSantis is going to be the candidate to overtake him.
  20. I think the DeSantis campaign is DOA already, regardless of the money being thrown at him. Looks a lot like Jeb Bush 2016. Flat. Made a bad choice to start taking advice from the Bush crew. I won't be surprised to see a candidate like Tim Scott do better than him in the early primaries.
  21. Voted lower. If he wanted to play for a lousy team, he would have stayed with the Cardinals. With that in mind, the legitimate SB contending teams have no money, so he'll take a lower 1-year deal to try for a ring and enter 2024 FA for the new contract. It's harder to get in the HOF without at least one championship to your name. That's at least what I'd do. 😃
  22. Bucs, Cardinals and the Commanders have already raised the white flag on the 2023 season.
  23. I remember how much time and work you used to have to do to score that stuff before the internet, especially if you liked an out of market team. Stores didn't sell Bills or Spurs gear where I lived. You had to first know who made the shirt or jacket you liked, then order their catalog, then call and place your order, and then wait patiently for it.
  24. Optimism: The Super Bowl window year of all Super Bowl window years. Loaded roster. Front office addressed holes in roster. I see McDermott running the defense as a plus. Pessimism. Will the psyche of this team change? The team continues to play games without a sense of urgency, focus, mission. Another lackadaisical, sloppy entry into the playoffs.
  25. The running game. It's back. I think the 2023 version of the NFL will again see prolific running backs, especially on teams that don't have a prolific QB/WR1 tandem. The Eagles gave the league the blueprint last year. An effective running game, especially in the second half, leads to victories.
