I was for leaving him up at the old place, and just not including him at the new place. That was the path of least resistance. But’s it’s a tough question to me, I don’t want to honor someone with his background, but I don’t like the idea of hiding or avoiding history at the same time. In the end, with the Wall being what it is/was, I went with leave him out. With reservations.

I had friends at the Amherst campus while I was still in high school. I can tell you the bar on campus would serve anyone a screwdriver. I can’t tell you why I was drinking screwdrivers. My dog got blasted by a skunk there too. It was overwhelming! 😳 I sent my GF to the store for shampoo and tomato juice and washed her in the lake, without doing much good. It helped enough that we could get her in the car and survive with the windows down. My impression of UB campus: you can get drunk as a skunk with an actual skunk! 🦨 .

My sister was a teacher at a prison outside Boston when she was right out of college. She was teaching “high school graduates” to write their names. Imagine what the athletes get away with. She changed jobs when her former students would “graduate” their way out of prison then wave and call to her when they saw her walking down a sidewalk somewhere. She knew what they had done before. 😳

Some guys just have a knack for making big plays at big times. Yes, it’s a lot of luck too, but some guys seem to make luck as well thru film study or instinct. When I read your post my mind immediately went to Robert Horry in the NBA. By no means was he ever the best player in the league, but you don’t mind him taking that last shot. There is a reason they called him Big Shot Bob. He had ice in his veins at the clutch moments.

Dr Smith and Gilligan deserved each other. Put them both on a deserted island or distant moon or something, and let them get what they deserve.

The first person to mention McD in a GDT should face ridicule and punishment. Just sayin’. The first step is admitting that there is a problem.

He plans to wreck in the first few miles, so the distance isn’t really that important. 🍺

Almost as bold of a marketing job as the Pet Rock, I’d say. I didn’t realize they had this staying power.

Reading comprehension is vastly underrated!

This is a whole lot of nothing. What’s he supposed to say? We don’t know if he was all in favor of this, or if he grudgingly went along with it. Regardless, it’s over and it’s time to move forward. Josh gets no blame or credit from me for this benign comment. Football season will be here soon enough, then we’ll have real things to get worked up about.

I agree Woody was a nice addition and provided more depth than Coach could. Rebecca just bounced all over for me.

I know this is wrong, but I feel like the HOF and my closet have something in common. Since the players going in often seem as just above common, it should be treated like my closet. If you want to put something new in, something has to go to Goodwill to make space. Apologies, not trying to diss anyone and I know the number should get larger every year, but it does get watered down. Tiers for the GREATEST would have my support.

Not all characters are supposed to be likable, but that’s why we get our own opinions. It may have been partially the writing, but it was a better show before Rebecca Howe entered the scene, imo. Her character seemed to keep shifting, from the hard driving career driven Bword, to….other things later including the lusty and whiney. I can get not loving Diane Chambers, but at least I knew what she was. JMO

Teams trading him have been well compensated because he’s good at what he does - getting open deep. That is a skill that is hard to find. It is also true that every catch is an adventure, at least with the Bills. I remember hearing he was a one trick pony who was only there to get open deep. Nothing wrong with that. Probably some hyperbole on his routes, but were his hands always an issue? Or was he just having a rough season. I haven’t seen the “jump/catch” in a few years. Catching the ball seems to be in his head, which is not a good thing for an NFL WR. Still, we need deep threats so I’m OK if they can make space for him.

Yeah, that could have kept the Browns out of the Super Bowl! 🤣 I feel for Browns fans. I get that pain.
