You got the sense from the very beginning that something was amiss, or at least not as it appeared. Didn't quite expect that, though.

I'd like to add that in almost all instances, when a prank phone call is aired, one of the parties is aware they're being recorded. In some (most?) states, that is all that is necessary. In this case, the both parties in the conversation were unaware they were being recorded AND that their conversation was essentially being illegally tapped.

Casual? If it's "casual", why would you wanna wear sneakers? Flipflops!

I, too, greatly value ST. However, while most are lauding much of our new coaching staff, at least on paper, our ST coach is seemingly a very weak hire. We'll see. Much is dependent on what the HC emphasizes (Levy, Jauron = great ST. Wade & Chan, no so much)
-
My preference woulda been Millner or Warmack (both selected right after #8) then go QB in round 2. BUT we got the QB that we needed (& obviously our 1st choice) AND we managed to get another 2nd rounder.
Is this scenario better than waiting to pick from whatever QBs are left at 41 (& having everyone virutally certain that we will pick a QB there)? IDK; depends on how much disparity there was in their ratings of the various QBs.

Sounds like a recorder. FWIW, the album liner (Touchdown) indicate numerous flutes, but only 1 recorder (George Marge). Unfortunately, the listing isn't song specific.

He was a an interception machine.
No he wasn't. As I said b4, it was a different era of passing. You didn't go thru a season w/ only a handful of INTs, and your "possession" WRs would avg like 15 YPC.
His INT %age was typical for QBs at that time. In fact, for the longest time (IDK if it's still the case) Fergy held the record for LEAST INTs in a season! In '76 when he only played like 7 games due to back injury, he only had 1 INT in ~160 attempts, which for at least 25+ yrs was the record.
-
I would've rated him good, but not elite. Different era back then. As others have mentioned, he was prone to hanging his head. Couldn't find anyone tougher - just watch the S.D. playoff game in '80 or '81 for reference - he basically played it one one foot (IMO it would've been a different outcome if he was the slightest bit mobile or even if he was able to step into his throws).
As for the helmet color change, IIRC (I could be mistaken), he was colorblind so although the thought behind it was to distinguish our players from other teams in the division, it likely wasn't at his request, I think the idea was Stevenson's..

Golf playoff. 18-1. LOL.

If I'm referring to any carbonated soft drink, then I use "pop". If I'm referring to ice cream put in pop, then it's a soda. If it's a cola soft drink, then it CAN be referred to as a coke, much like slip-joint pliers can be referred to as Channelocks or hot tubs Jacuzzis.

Just b4 the buzzer, 1959 :

the opening title scene always has a message on the map of florida, but it goes by way to quickly to be able to read it.
You know how all Chuck Lorre (I think that's his name) productions have like a really long "essay" at the end? No one can possibly read that in the ~5 seconds it's posted. There is however this thing called pause or rewind on your DVR.
I agree w/ you though. I can't usually read'em either. Just doesn't bother me enough to bother to hit rewind.

I didn't think there was a planet named Pluto anymore.

Could it be possible that the 1 drop refers to only those where he lined up in the RB position?
I, too, certainly would think that he dropped more than 1 pass, but I also recall that one/some were on quick slants where he was lined up as a WR.
-
Given our recent track rcd against good teams the fact given we played them, that we've lost 7x in a row to the NFC SB team is actually quite likely (I'd guesstimate >75%).
The fact that we ended up playing them due to scheduling, I gotta think is very unlikely. Over the last 7 yrs, I'd say the AFC East has been, on avg, relatively avg (ie no particular advantage in playing them). Were it to be a particularly weak division, "gifting" a team 4 wins, would give them an advantage in helping to procure homefield, which of course would help them ultimately make the SB.

I can remember a newbie came onboard & complimented us on the intelligent discussions we were having. Called us a bunch of road scholars.
-
The 1st thing that struck me is that no where in those promises does it say anything about winning. For that matter, the letter is sadly void of any mention of attempting to do so.

Gailey is coaching to save his job. If he's gone, what motivation does he have to save these players for next yrs staff?
And if we finish 5-11, I'll be mighty miffed (& I suspect most fans will be, too) if this staff is retained.
For that matter, 6-10 & he should be gone, too. But at least at that mark, there might be a chance that he's retained. At the very least, a good showing in the last game will look better on the resume for his next job, as opposed to a (likely) very poor showing if one rests the "starters".

Oops. Didn't see this. Just posted something similar. Gotta say, Take Five is one of the few songs that you can listen to 1000s of times w/o it getting tired.

The chances of not making the playoffs are 5 out of 8 or .625. So you simply multiply .625 together 13 times which gives you approximately .0022. In order to turn that into a percentage you must multiply the final decimal by 100 leaving you with .22%
Oops. My bad. I was laying in bed & realized my error. I computed the chance of making the playoffs 13 yrs straight. DOH. You're correct sorry.

Where/how'd you come up w/ that #?
If you assume a random chance of any team making the playoffs & each year 6 of 16 make it, I reckon that comes out to 2.9e-6 or .00029%.
Granted, making the playoffs is not entirely random, but I'm curious how you came up w/ your #s?
-
I would assume that CBS is prohibited from showing any due to the blackout (if they didn't have the dbl header, there'd be no game). For whatever reason, Fox is opting for the late game rather than any of the earlier ones (It seems that all their other games are "regional, & that is "THEIR" game they're pushing).

I don't remember my exact age, but I do recall fondly riding my pet dinosaur.

I don't think you can really categorize Sheppard as a disappointment. Cuz of alignment/"groupings", he spends much of the time on the sideline. I put much of that blame on Wannestadt. Were he to play more than 15-20 plays/game, he might have more of an impact.
LASIK ... has anyone had it?

I had it done ~14 or 15 yrs ago. Yes, I personally was happy w/ it, but I will concede it is a tradeoff of a few factors. Briefly, I'd say that if you're willing/able to wear contacts rather than glasses, it's prolly not worth the tradeoff/risk. I couldn't wear contacts & had ~12 or so yrs of primarily not wearing glasses. I now wear them most of the time. The reason I don't get an "enhancement" is that were I to do so, I would then need reading glasses & I'd rather remove my glasses to read up close than put some on &/or not be able to if I don't have them w/ me.
