  1. I said (can't explain) I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (can't explain) Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue The things you've said, well, maybe they're true I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again I know what it means, but Can't explain I think it's love Try to say it to you When I feel blue
  2. Ah, fun times! A young Bills tackle, Ken Jones actually changed his number from 69 to 72 in attempt to stop/trick refs from looking to flag his number automatically on pass plays. Rule was changed to a simple 10 yard penalty in 1978. About that time, Ken Jones (coincidentally?) became one of the better tackles in the league.
  3. Tonight Why not approach with less defiance The man who'd love to see you smile Who'd love to see you smile Tonight
  4. It's on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns But the film is a saddening bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh man, look at those cavemen go It's the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show Is there life on Mars?
  5. When your dreams are scattered Just like the wind blown sand And you feel, you feel you need a friend I'll be there, reach out your hand And when the tempest is raging I want you to know got a friend that's true Just like a shelter, in a time of storm I'll see you through, that's what I'll do I'll see you through your bad times I'll see you through your fears I'll see you through your hang ups Honey I'll dry all your tears
  6. Only thing that I can think of is that early on when he was getting more looks, I noticed several times that he missed blocks and some of them he missed badly.
  7. Technically, Baby Boomers are those born between 1946 - 1964.
  8. You just made Lamar Jackson feel even worse about himself.
  9. Now the verses I've sang Don't add much weight to the story in my head So I'm thinking I should go and write a punchline But they're so hard to find in my cosmic mind So I think I'll take a look out of the window When I think about you, I don't feel low Should I really chase so hard The truth of sport plays rings around you Going for the one
  10. Everybody had a hard year Everybody had a good time Everybody had a wet dream Everybody saw the sunshine Oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah Everybody had a good year Everybody let their hair down Everybody pulled their socks up Everybody put their foot down Oh yeah
  11. And I know it aches And your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you steal All this you feel All that you reason All that you care (It's only time) And I'll never fill up all my mind All that you sense All that you speak All you dress up And all that you scheme All you create All that you wreck All that you hate
  12. So Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch? Hey Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? "Hey, baby" Are you having fun? If you believed they put a man on the moon If you believed there's nothing up his sleeve Then nothing is cool
  13. Great post. There are unmistakable, and visual "measurables" that Von brings to the table that cannot just be replaced. Period. He is a first ballot HOF for a reason. Just take one look at that move where he makes himself about a foot tall for a moment and goes under a block. Who does that? You have the physical ability to do that or not. Almost nobody but Von does or ever has. That very rare skill set will be missed greatly every week on the field. But I also think that a purely empirical approach to a players value misses some of what coaches and GM's call "immeasurables". There is good reason that McDermott likes to have one seasoned vet in every position group. It has a lot to do with player development and influence in ways of professionalism and perfecting the craft. I could offer the obvious improvement in Groot as an example of this, but that is too much of a gray area. Groot was going to improve regardless. For better illustration look at a guy like Epenesa, who seemed to be floundering before Von arrived. Nobody has talked much about it, but it was funny how his return last week had a steadying impact. He is now a steady vet, who can be relied upon. Look even at a journeyman like Shaq Lawson. When needed, he has been performing at remarkably high level, making one impactful play after another. I do believe that Von's presence in that DL room has contributed to the development of every player in that room. The cap dollars invested in Von won't yield full value on the field while he is away. I also believe that Beane and McDermott had other non empirical value in mind when they decided to invest in Von Miller. I believe that non empirical player development influence is real, if not measurable. And I think that in that way, the investment will continue to pay dividends while he is away from the playing field. He will be back with the team soon. That will have value. That is not wishful thinking. It is just taking a step back and taking a broad view of the bigger picture with an open mind. We all bring different gifts to the table in our lives. Von Miller brings a ton of gifts to The Bills table. Some of those gifts will be unavailable for an extended time. Many of them will remain.
  14. And she said, "hey ramblin' boy now wontcha settle down?" "Boston ain't your kinda town" "There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
  15. Cause the Rocky Mountain Way Is better than the way we had Well, he's tellin' us this And he's tellin' us that Changes it every day Says it doesn't matter Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat Playin' it play by play Time to change the batter
  16. Waking light, it grew from the shadow Brace yourself to the morning low Night is gone, long way turning You've waited long enough to know When the memory leaves you Somewhere you can't make it home When the morning comes to meet you Lay me down in waking light
  17. Now, the mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the color of the lights that shine Electricity so fine Look and dry your eyes We are tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive to the other side Into the night, into the light We are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the TV and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find Steppin' out tonight?
  18. These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined People filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age? Ah, the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Oh, pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm
  19. How long have I been sleeping? How long have I been drifting alone through the night? How long have I been running for that morning flight? Through the whispered promises and the changing light Of the bed where we both lie Late for the sky
  20. Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me Say "nighty-night" and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me
  21. The red stripe is a throwback to 1976 when the Cowboys wore the red stripe for the entire season as celebration of America's bicentennial. They have worn the red stripe twice in the years since. Once last year and again last night.
  22. Till you made me glad Oh and this love I found strength Never knew i had
  23. Social Security took care of this lad We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower A flower? If you go down to Willow Farm To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise Everyone lies like the fox on the rocks And the musical box Oh, there's Mum and Dad, and good and bad And everyone's happy to be here
  24. I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago
  25. He said, "I'm fabulously rich, come on just let's go" She kind of bit her lip, "Jeez, I don't know" But I can guarantee, there'll be no knock on the door I'm total pro, that's what I'm here for I come from downtown, born ready for you Armed with will and determination, and grace, too
