Another one - Trey Hendrickson asks for a trade from Cincy
Augie replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Throw out the publicly owned Packers, and the Bengals are the only NFL team whose owner is not a billionaire with a net worth of $925Mil. When they give Burrow or Higgins’s a big contract, all that guaranteed money, hundreds of millions of dollars, have to be placed in escrow. They have a cheap mindset, but there is also the practical/financial side of things….they have limitations other teams do not. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-richest-owners-net-worth-ranked/ -

The funny thing is, they may have the best owner in the state! 😂 -
Damn! Good to know! You just saved me $1,000.

Oh, the more digits you steal means that much more you can spend on your legal defense and cover up as needed. The big time bad guys have a better plan than my guy. My guy was slick enough to slip away, but he thought small and was impatient. This was about 1990 and we didn’t have the technology for security we have now. Had he stayed a few more months he would have figured out how to steal ten times that or more skirting security on wire transfers. I could have gotten millions. Sweet old Jeanne trusted me. 😂

Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson among others reinstated by MLB
Augie replied to Gregg's topic in Off the Wall
I really liked Shoeless Joe in Field Of Dreams. I don’t think he did anything bad. Pete? EDIT: I have to say that I don’t care. -
OK, not an executive, but a guy who worked for me in a bank branch got away with $41,250 in cash. Yes, I remember the exact amount. Fairly clever, and right before a 3 day weekend so we couldn’t verify it was missing. He skipped town and I never saw him again. Fast forward a year or two, and word comes in that he was arrested in the LA airport. They just thought he looked suspicious, and he unraveled. No telling what else this con man was guilty of, but I know it started with a cruise in Mexico. He went to jail somewhere, and I hope to never see the creep again. My sister used to teach in a prison and quit when she started seeing her students back on the streets.

A buddy grew up in a small town in Canada down the road from the Friggenesi sisters. I may have spelled that wrong, but it’s pronounced the Friggin’ Easy sisters. He spoke of them often. I’m not sure what mom and dad can do about that except try to get them married early! 🤣 .

My buddy has a granddaughter named Llana. The extra “L” in the front is so that if you spell it backwards, you don’t get anything to be teased about. Who thinks of this stuff?

I hope the Chiefs next make the playoffs when he gets out and can be there to cheer them on live.

Sorry, off topic, but the thought made me chuckle: My wife’s parents were very “old country”. Other than a couple times on the golf course, and eventually in the hospital, I never saw her father not wearing a tie. English was her mother’s third language (after Arabic and French) and she spoke in a very formal way. It’s what she was taught in boarding school in Lebanon, not growing up in the Bronx. Very different. We moved to Sarasota, FL in 1993, known for Siesta Key beach. Naturally, we wanted to take my MIL to all the great things in town when she came to visit. The opera house was great, but I had to tap the brakes when the wife wanted to show her the beach. Her dad was always in a tie, and her mom was ALWAYS in high heels. I asked my wife how she saw that going, and we just cruised thru the parking lot. That girl is going to sink into the grass, but there will be no shortage of people eager to help her up. .

I’ve always wanted to work in landscape management. I would give her footwear a one time exemption.

Not an electric mower, but we had a self propelled mulching mower when I was a teenager. I was racing the kid across the street to get our lawns mowed before we could go somewhere. I finished first and mowed his name in his front yard. The mulching mower worked. His name grew in greener and seemed to grow faster. His father made me come back and mow the whole front yard so it didn’t look so stupid. Oops! EDIT: I think my sister still has that thing and uses it in the short Wisconsin summers. That’s back when things were built to last. .

Would you rather have paid more for better? How about everyone else in your section?
