Mods are like police. Some people complain about them, until you need them. Then they are your best friend. 😋

Is that where the other thread is? Maybe they should be united, to slowly whither away. A guy can hope we don’t have to start from scratch and go thru all this again. I think that started with Monks and chanting, but I can’t find my source.

The Bengal players are lunch pail guys, but that’s only because the Bengals are too cheap to pay for lunch, so that’s different. They are a bad matchup for us now, but I don’t know how many more guys they can sign after Burrow. Will they shell out hundreds of millions of dollars to put in escrow for the guaranteed portions of contracts for the surrounding talent? IDK. 🤷‍♂️ .

Or the owners critical medical mystery. It was quite a year, for sure. We struggled down the stretch compared to how we started, but nothing like that Bengals playoff game. That was super flat! I have questions, but I have no answers.

No, this is a different Britt, and a whole new bartender. Apparently it’s become “a thing” for him.

. This is what makes the internet so great! 😂

I was still about 10 people back in line trying to get in when the crowd ramped up a giant roar - it was SO EXCITING………..then you could hear a pin drop. Oops! Great start. I’m sure Herb Mulkey enjoyed it, anyway.

Being flexible can be a valuable trait!

Will you shower me with years of birthday and Christmas presents? I might be available. 🤷‍♂️

My how things have changed! I vividly remember the trip with my dad to Rich Stadium in 1973 to pick out our seats before it opened. That is a very fond childhood father/son memory. Seeing it for the first time was exciting stuff for this kid.

Look in here. .

Speaking of bias, it shows in the fact that Hyde won’t be 33 until Dec 31. Anything to make the point look more valid. We were decimated by injuries to the defensive backfield last year, to a bizarre extent. Oh, and we will get Von Miller back, a HOF player who showed no signs of aging before his injury last season. But I suppose none of that supports his narrative, so let’s not talk about that. I need to see Tua and Lamar finish a season before I get TOO worried about their teams. The AFCE won’t be the cakewalk the Pats* faced for years, but I like our chances.

He’s more upset that he never got a kayak. He really had his heart set on a kayak. I kid! I kid! He’s not really a horrible person, but you want to keep your car doors locked when he’s around, just in case.

That sounds familiar. Is he the guy who changed my oil today?

I’m trying to cut back on my Satan stuff as I age. I’m not sure if I’m a better person…….or just very tired. 🤷‍♂️

That is an excellent point. I don’t get that at all. A bit off topic, but I doubt he has the career success his trajectory might seem to indicate. Once they have to pay him and put all the guaranteed money into escrow, how many big time guys can will they pony up guaranteed money for? They may be capable of paying, but they do not seem willing. I remember T.J. Houshmandzadeh laughing at how cheap they were. BYOG, for Gatorade! I lived in Cincinnati during college, and I don’t think the reputation has changed much. Time will tell.

Was this supposed to be serious? I’m honestly not sure. My son’s high school team ran better screens. Just the right amount of tricking them into thinking it’s for real, while still allowing the blocking to set up. We run screens like my wife throws a frisbee. That is NOT a compliment. ANYTHING could happen, but it’s rarely good. The problem is not just the delivery of the ball. We are tipping it off, or are in some other way completely incompetent. I can be like watching a car wreck.

I don’t care what the question is, Michelle Pfeiffer qualifies. 😋

You’d HATE to get rear ended, after all!

Worse than trying to get the Playboy Channel as a kid? Oh, THAT must have been horrible!

I guess the rollover talk made me think of this, but……I worked early on for a bunch of community banks, and we just kept getting bought. After one merger I tried to take control of my retirement account, but they refused because it was over $10k with that bank. They said anything over $10k they have to keep and manage. Oh well, I didn’t fight too hard, it was the rule. A couple months later they get back to me and say they have been managing my money, and I can now have the account since they got it down below $10k. Gee! THANKS! 😂 I also retired in my mid 50’s, but not because we are investment gurus. I came to Atlanta kicking and screaming but the wife and son have good jobs here. The types of jobs that are not available in smaller markets. Fortunately, the wife is really good at what she does and she’s not ready to retire. She says she’s afraid of running out of money one day. I think she would have no idea what to do with herself if she retired. Not everybody is cut out to be the sloth that comes so naturally to me!

You are young(ish)! Time is on your side. The best advice I can give to young people is do not wait. Start socking it away ASAP and let it work for you. Max out the 401k, get as much company match as you can, put money away on a regular basis and let time work for you.

We run screens about as well as EJ would slide. WHY is it SO HARD?

There’s always the OTB! 😋
