  1. Okay, here I am quoting myself but I’m a good bit into the Baldacci book I bought above (almost halfway). A Calamity of Souls does not fall into my usual cheesy commercial empty book calories. It’s about a white lawyer in 1960’s Virginia defending a Black guy for killing a wealthy old white couple, so basically it’s about racism. I guess I grew up sheltered, but it’s shocking to me that these things happened in my lifetime. Baldacci said it was a project he had been working on over a decade, and I’m glad he finally finished it and I happened to pick it up off the table at Costco.

    Yeah, he just catches and kicks a ball. It’s not really an issue for him that everyone around him is bigger and faster than they used to be. It’s actually irrelevant unless he has to get involved with a tackle for some reason, and that is not supposed to happen.

    Life can be tricky and unpredictable. Things happen and we make the best decisions we can in the moment. Nobody wins here, but I’m glad this young man is getting his shot, even if it’s with the Chiefs. I can’t fault the Bills organization for how they handled the situation. They had an entire team to get ready for a season.
  4. So….you are hoping to date Bill Belichick? You are about the right age. 😋
  5. If she keeps him out of the massage parlors, that’s probably a good thing for almost everybody but TMZ.
  6. I saw that as an opportunity, as well. @FireChans Come on, this will be fun!!! Just once? 😂
  7. ….and then he will break again.
  8. I’d be OK with the Dolphins giving him $70 Mil.
  9. That’s exactly why I don’t go to pool halls anymore.
  10. An argument could also be made that if you are top 5, then you get an A. I’m with the B+/A- crowd, and I’m confident he’s top 10. I also agree that we need to get some special, game changing difference makers to go with the solid players. Kincaid may become that type of guy.
  11. Well, then I guess I’m qualified to be a “journalist”. 😋
  12. So, his play has not been diminutive? Did I do that right?
  13. It’s simple. Sammy failed to account for the curvature of the Earth when tracking in passes. You can’t win that way.
  14. I’ll have no ideas other than those of other people until we start playing actual football in the Fall. I can’t get wrapped up in a few days in June, but you obviously hope for good news. The big thing for me during all team activities before the opener is “DON’T GET HURT!”
  15. I think we know who’s on the top of the list, and we want to spend more time figuring out who the last guys are, so they get some time with the ones. That seems simple. 🤷‍♂️ .
  16. I was never sure if he had the yips, or was injured. The yips don’t take away distance, so I have to think he was dinged up with a groin or back type of nagging injury. Hoping he bounces back and becomes Mr Automatic again.
  17. Off to Macy’s to see if they have any leftover winter stuff on sale………
  18. I think we should give him a bit more time, he’s just about to turn the corner with this team. What he really needs is a top flight coach like Rex Ryan.
  19. But other than that……that is one big, agile human!
  20. The man is a legend. Dan Patrick is torn up and needed to be bailed out a bit. RIP
  21. After watching the games and reviewing the stats, I think he has a healthy lead over Mini Max Anderson. He’s not top 5, but the game has changed and his skill set could launch him in the next couple years. .
  22. Florida has them as part of a plan to have the tourists and seasonal residents pay as much as possible to make the load lighter on residents. There was an expressway built on Hilton Head Island to speed things up, especially in hurricane evacuations. Without it there was one way in/out. They had a toll to pay for it and it was a shortcut, but a bit of a hassle. They forgot to remove the tolls when the project was paid for, and eventually somebody caught on. Now I see it as a scenic highway over the lowcountry.
  23. But it fits within the theme.
