I would make a plea to keep him out of the Big House, but he’s kind of annoying, don’t you think?

SHE was not one I had ever heard of before. Poll North America and see who people recognize more. Sitcom math gives you the answer there. 😋 .

Do they have aspiring high school journalists doing the interviews? That would be kinda fitting. They will all be doing something different soon. 😋

I was there for game #1, and many more. I feel terrible, I forgot to get a gift! It’s like the alphabet, I need to start from the beginning and do the whole thing. Do I still get credit for that?

Is that John Lennon? That might be a red flag.

….and they all say it loudly at the same time. It’s like being wife my wife’s family. I learned early on that looking for a quiet space to read a book is considered rude. By them. I thought it was a brilliant solution. We do not see eye to eye there, but I never married into the ESPN family, so the remote has me just whiz right by unless there is a specific football or college basketball game I want to see.

Sometimes I wish they would stop. 😋 I had originally planned to be at that game with a college buddy who has season tix. I could hit a Xavier basketball game the same weekend. That and the home opener was a nice plan, but it’s been a big travel year for us already and I’m booked to go to the London game too. I did some rough math, and I’m firmly in the guilty feeling zone. As for doing something for Damar, we’ve done all that already. It’s time for football. That deep into he season it will be all but forgotten, I hope. And this is assuming he makes the team. .

I think it was his wife who actually turned him in. 😋 .

I’m guessing it’s a “very” big difference. 😋

Still, they should keep that cart nearby. It just might come in handy. Again.

You should have stepped up! What an opportunity! .

OK, but I think the “moment” would have to be some kind of a stroke. But if you never ask……🤷‍♂️

We have a few 6th rounders we could part with! Catch Jerry when he’s having “a moment”.

That was almost my puppies name! And it was actually an autocorrection! I think I looked him up to be sure he was not the devil incarnate before making a final decision on the name.

Don’t forget the avocado ice cream!!!

Maybe it’s not a medical thread as much as a fashion thread? 🤷‍♂️

Was your curiosity gland removed as some part of a bigger medical procedure? 😋

I am currently capable of meeting only low expectations. Having a puppy is much like having a baby.

Have you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

I’m sorry, your choice of sparrow has eliminated you from the competition. Shame, that bunny is FIERCE! An admirable foe, indeed!

I got hauled in with some friends. Some guy in a gray suit is running toward us down a dirt road. He keeps yelling “DON’T RUN! DON’T RUN!” So we ran. We were shooting cans with a Beebe gun. We had no idea he was from the brutal Williamsville Police Department, or that he had fellow cops in other cars waiting exactly where we would come out. I could have saved myself a half mile sprint and a hurdle over a barbed wire fence a bit taller than I was comfortable with. After we figured we had left the fat old man in the gray suit in the dust, we settled down on the slope of a hill in some tall grass. We are young and trying to catch our breath, and the fat old man is history. We are still breathing heavy when the other guys in uniform came over the other side if the hill. They asked “why did you run?” My buddy unwisely asked “why did you follow us?” 😂 So we went out in the back of the patrol car past everyone who emptied the community pool to see the police cars leave the neighborhood. Not OJ in the Bronco, but impressive at my then age. My parents picked me up at the pokey after dinner, I think. No TV for me that night. Probably much like the stories @Levi will tell you.

He will be one more of those guys who make an absolute fortune without ever becoming a big name. Good for him! I’m sure he’d rather get his shot, but this is not a shabby deal to set you up before you hit 35. I guess the real key is, can you add to that after football? Or do you basically have to live off of that like a scratch off ticket. At this rate, it will be his decision. I’m cool with that.

She’s got a bit of a hormone issue, but who am I to judge?

We had an interesting experience with our son at rehab. It was a “nice one” in Minneapolis called Hazelden. One weekend they brought in some young folks who had been there a while and had at least tasted sobriety. I’ll never forget one kid, top of his class and a 4 or 5 star football recruit with a full ride to Penn State. Maybe partially a plant, but he seemed incredibly sincere and said basically everybody takes too much credit and too much blame for what we kids do. We are going to do what we are going to do. Sure, we listen some, but then we do what we are going to do. I don’t know how much support Johnny had, or what the quality of that support was. I do know that sometimes there is just stuff that nobody else has control over.

I prefer “What’s your favorite color?” That would up my odds. EDIT: Curious who gets the reference. I’m not the only old fart here! 😂 .
