Math based upon wild assumptions is less than precise. That is just a fact.

At least nobody is getting an extra home game in front of the fans they have been cultivating since 2013. Still the same $#@% field, so that is about the best thing I can say about this game.

I would not watch out of principle unless the Bills were playing.

I say all “Home Games” should be played in front of a stadium filled with 80% opposing fans. That was “special” to entertain the crowd the Jags has been actively cultivating since 2013. Taking up a perfectly good field so we can subject to players to the dangers of a $%#@ field also has a certain appeal. This makes as much sense as filling cups of beer from the bottom up. Yes, they really do that. They place the cup on a spigot of some kind that fills thru a small hole in the bottom of the cup. The obvious problem here is (who can guess?) you then have a cup of beer with a hole in the bottom. Beer that went in thru that hole can also come back out thru that hole. For this reason, once the beer is poured they take their time pouring it into yet another cup that does not have an open hole in the bottom. All done with ZERO sense of urgency. THIS is how you spend most of the 2nd quarter standing in line watching on TV. When I got back to my seat I was asked “where the hell you been?” It’s hard to believe, but I have a video to prove it. The NFL is rapidly losing my interest. I very much enjoyed the trip to London, but to me the game experience exposed how little regard the league has for the integrity of the game. Playing a “Home Game” on a clearly hostile field that has been deliberately built over the last decade is inexcusable. The “experiment” of playing one team with jet lag against another team fully adjusted is equally unacceptable. Add in the countless streaming services I am forced to buy and this may be the last straw. I will NOT be adding Peacock or any other additional streaming service they want me to pay for. I don’t hate the owners for being wealthy. But I am starting to hate them for not protecting the integrity of the game. The Competition Committee is failing miserably.

My father-in-law was a dentist on the Missouri when the treaty was signed with Japan. My wife has an amazing collection of newspaper clippings, letters to his parent and memorabilia. A retired General lives up the street and he came to see it one day. The letters are incredibly touching.

My Dad took me to see Dirty Harry when I was maybe 11-12. I guess he wanted to see Dirty Harry, and I enjoyed the brief nudity quite a bit more than the shoot ‘em up part. Remember, I was 11-12.

The London trip did me in too…..

That went about as I expected. 😋

Sorry for the tangent, but I have a college buddy who coaches girl’s high school tennis. I have told him a thousand times to make sure he is never alone with any one of those young, hormonal tennis players. You don’t have to do anything wrong to wind up in a HORRIBLE situation.

Not at all, regarding the bold. There is no lumping together an entire gender. We live in the real world, and you have to guard against that one situation that could bite you on the arse. It just takes one to create an unfortunate situation, so there is a rule against those relationships. Plus, you are making the assumption that they are lying. What if it’s real? What if the female is the supervisor? Did you think of that? Now who is being sexist? To me this is very simple. The employer has a rule that they feel is in their best interest. You follow the employers rules, or you face the consequences. These restrictions apply to all people, in theory, not one gender or the other.

Yes! Pretty neat! Selling beer with a hole in the bottom of the cup! People were 3 beer cups deep and still had dripping. The absolute lack of urgency was annoying (I was forced to take video) but they were not properly prepared. Apparently the soccer crowd is not allowed inside with beer. They just hang out and watch on TV. Nobody picked up on the difference. One more thing to learn. But I’m glad I went.

I see what you did there! But RIP anyway. This gets younger and younger.

Umm, I’m not sure what to say! You had blotter notes???

This is fun. Carry on……..

Do you think the insurance company might catch on?

….that we know of. …..yet. 😋 I’d love to be rich, and I’d hate to be famous. Everybody you run into is going to have that moment as their perception of you. Sometimes I might have other things going on and just not be in the mood. But you’re still leaving that as their image of you that they will share with everyone given a chance.

Every big company I worked for had policies against these relationships. I’ve seen these relationships develop countless times, and someone always has to go. Regardless of whether you think you might lose a lawsuit, the employer has rules they put in place for a reason. Follow the employers rules, or pay the price, in this case both of them it appears. I’ll also caution that we probably don’t know as much as we should to be jumping to any kind of firm conclusions, IMO.

Sadly, I can’t think of an adequate way to thank them!

Nope. FAR from a ton. I was just there and roughly on their schedule. A couple hours won’t have zero difference, but it doesn’t begin to normalize things. A week, however, THAT makes a HUGE difference. I call BS on the NFL.

Oh, how I wish I hadn’t clicked. She looks closer to 600 than 60. Drugs are bad, kids! YIKES!!!

We went to the movies and bought a ticket to something lame hoping to sneak into another theater to see some flesh. They were onto us from the get go. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think a few hours makes any difference. I am certain a week makes a difference.

YOU CAN’T MAKE ME! ok, maybe I’ll peek to see what it looked like on TV. 😋 .

I had a ground nest, and both my son and I got stung. I tried spraying multiple times in the evening, but even at 10PM they were still some out and about and I could never kill the nest. Eventually we were leaving for a trip about 5AM and I sprayed before we left. When we got back they were gone. Nasty little suckers would swarm you if you got anywhere close! I do not love all of God’s creatures equally.

The funny thing is, I don’t hate oversees games as much as I do the NFL in general right now. Those games are just one sign of the larger problem. I don’t hate wealthy people, even the SUPER wealthy, but now they are messing with the integrity of the game. That’s a fact, and it makes me care about the game a little less. I mean, if they don’t take it seriously, why should I? They stole a “home game” (it was anything but), and added another disadvantage on top of that. That tells me they don’t care.
