For what it’s worth……My mom turns 97 on Monday and she’s been slipping badly for about 3 years. Maybe 6 months ago she got Covid in the nursing home. There was a noticeable drop off in her ability to function, but I think part of that was being isolated in a room for 10 days. She did recover from what she lost during Covid, but it’s still hit or miss every day. It’s all just a giant gut wrenching rollercoaster. She’s actually a little better mentally now than she was in the first year of the nursing home. It was very disorienting and disturbing for her. She hasn’t called me by my father’s name in a year, but before that it was 50/50. I feel for you. It’s killing me, and I just go visit the nursing home. My next door neighbor went thru it with his mother and his therapist suggested he write a book about the experience, so he did.

My first Thanksgiving with my wife’s Lebanese family was an eye opener. I’m at the table and ready for what we expect on that day. Out it comes, all the humus and grape leaves and kibbi and Laban and tabouleh and pita and…. WTF??? What IS this stuff? I had never heard of most of it before! Eventually my dear mother-in-law brought in a bird. A very well cooked bird. (The next year my wife did the bird, and her younger brother asked why wasn’t all dry like he was used to it. 😂) We are pretty traditional now, but if her family is in town Lebanese food will be in the house, if not at the table.

Judging by the results, I think they were taking turns making picks. We know the actual scouts are thrown out of the process before the draft. Yeah, he’s a genius, but not in all the ways he thinks he is.

He could bring in Bill Belichick’s dog as asst GM, and it probably wouldn’t hurt the Jets. I mean, they are still the Jets and the owner sets the tone.

Thanks, that told me all I need to know. No clickie for me!

It took forever to get out of the parking lots, but we listened to the post-game show on the radio. I could not have been happier anywhere else than stuck in traffic that night!

I can’t believe you guys clicked! There was nothing about that title that made me want to know more! 😂 .

…and THIS is where we are about to go from a roster with nice depth to an even more top heavy roster. It is inevitable, but I like our future.

I’m not a cat person (dog guy here), but I can respect all of that. Good for you. Where did you get that robe? It looks familiar.

Regardless of fact or intent, this is a play we will remember for a long, long time. The Chiefs, at home on a National stage on 4th and 2 late in the 4th quarter, and then THAT happened! I’m with Josh, it’s one game and things get real in the playoffs, but that was one to remember! For some of you who might remember, it’s a little like Ahmad Rashad getting the TD to beat the Raiders late on Monday Night Football. “WAIT! Did that REALLY just happen???”

We are trying to kiss and make up, OK?

What this screams to me is that the Dallas offense sucks.

I think you are being kind.

It’s still not a great angle, but it comes from the other side and it looks like a punch at/under the facemask. If it were more clear I’d consider looking for it, but it’s still iffy. It’s wasn’t three straight punches at the helmet clear as day (like last time).

There is a little better angle of that somewhere. It is being discussed somewhere. We should be talking about the amount of the fine, but I’ve heard nothing about that yet. When are they announced? Maybe they still get it right, albeit after the fact? 🤷‍♂️

They all have big legs. It’s what’s between their ears that decides their success, and that can be fragile, just like golfers.

You can sense the emotion there. That’s not usually a good thing. I prefer rational and sensible over angry and whining.

Yeah, you beat me to it. That one aged quite poorly.

I always look for a fun road game, but this year it looks like that will just be Atlanta, where I live. I don’t see anything else that draws me. While I enjoyed the London trip, I don’t like messing with the integrity of the game. Goodell apparently doesn’t care quite as much, imo. “Experiment” my ass. .

It’s another form of liquidity, like Josh’s contract. I have no problem with it.

Happy belated BDay! Nice present for you, Josh!

I think our guys might be getting better at what they do. That’s what you want. FYI. 😂 .

Never get too high, or too low. I want the LAST laugh this year.

I think we are benefitted by having mostly a zone scheme. Those CB’s don’t get the top dollars like the lockdown guys, but oh what I could do with what a “semi-elite” CB makes in one year. Hell, who am I kidding……one game! 😂 EDIT: I could probably retire at halftime! .

Oh boy, here we go……
