  1. Wow! Was it a Falcons WR who missed a year for a nominal wager? You’d think that would be all you need to know. If the Lions still have any fans, I feel badly for them. Just when things started to look a little brighter for them, the fan gets messy. I’ll wait for details, but I doubt the NFL starts lightening up on players gambling any time soon.
  2. Yep, how many coaches are on the hot seat after 13-3 seasons? With the 3 losses coming by a total of 8 points? I get that we all want a trophy, but some here have ridiculous expectations. .
  3. If he truly believes CTE will not be a very real possibility, he’s lying to himself. You can find an “expert” to say just about anything. Just look at “expert witnesses” in court who can be for or against just about anything. Just show him videos of himself after suffering those concussions last year. Common sense will tell you that can have long term consequences. I am NOT telling him to retire, that is his personal decision. Just don’t ignore the obvious when defending the decision.
  4. I mean, please feel free to take your time. 😋
  5. Good for him! Great experience. My wife is technically based out of NYC. She says she doesn’t feel safe there since Covid. Most major cities have felt some bumps, I think. But bigger cities have the bigger jobs, if that’s what you are looking for.
  6. It was better than a bunch of talking heads on TV yelling at everybody all the time. That felt like relief, to me. It was……a break. It was different, and I enjoyed that. But bring on the draft!!!
  7. We were in the Bay Area last summer. The people in the wife’s SF office told her to stay the hell away from downtown SF as much as possible. We did. Apparently it’s more like Oakland used to be. Landing in Paris sounds like an great adventure. My son’s crowd all wanted to live in NYC after graduating. It’s a cool dream, I guess, and for some it’s perfect. Just a few are left, but they all had a great life experience.
  8. That was long, but I watched the entire thing. Far more entertaining than I expected, but that was a whole new format for me. Thanks.
  9. That might sting for a while. BUT, once the (cheap skate) Bengals have to seriously pay Burrow, they probably are not going to tie up funds in escrow for other big contracts. This will be interesting. Will they fade because they are unable or unwilling to put up the cash for multiple big, largely guaranteed contracts? Or do they have to try to reload? I can’t wait for the Saints! I may not sleep until that one appears. .
  10. You tried. Enjoy the concert, we’ll be here when you get back. I mean, we’re always here…… 🤷‍♂️ We are not your REAL family, and those years fly by.
  11. I just looked, and they are 3-19. Maybe they should be the “Not Very Athletics”? How is the NBA team in Utah still the Jazz? Utah is more like Anti-Jazz.
  12. You can only cry wolf so many times before people start ignoring you, and that’s where Von is now until he’s actually correct about something.
  13. I didn’t know if we’d see you posting here today. Is this some kind of a holiday for you? 😋
  14. ….and then his life came crashing down and he was never quite the same. Let’s let Josh be Josh, wish him the best, and leave it at that. I get the joke, btw. All good.
  15. Hindsight is a beautiful thing! What do you think the same people would be saying if he stayed healthy and won the SB? The VERY SAME PEOPLE. We’ll never know what might have been.
  16. Be careful what you wish for! 😂 He will do more sit-ups in his driveway than any of MY neighbors, I can tell you THAT!
  17. I once manned the door at a bar in college. I was to check the ages, and they paid me in drinks. Yes, a TERRIBLE formula! I was not working that night, but a friend of mine was tending bar there and got arrested for underage kids getting drinks. No, I could not tell. .
  18. We sent Rich Eisen. Tactical error. We can pick again later.
  19. It seems to be contagious, though! That concerns me a bit. It could turn into a full blown ???????????Arms Race! In this case they went for a coverage LB (makes sense I guess), a 5’9” slot receiver who is more quick than fast (4.48 in the 40), and a guy who won’t be there (nice trick if you can pull it off). I’ll trust Beane over Kiper and McShay all day long, though my biggest question mark is our scouting and drafting. This is the year to hit on some studs! .
  20. You might get the financial support of @HOUSE for nothing more than a new ashtray. I think he’s hiding assets for some reason, he’s not broke like he makes out. Did you realize he has a slightly damaged coffee pot AND a floor? He’s got to have some clout to help you. EDIT: The title now reads like this is some kind of an imminent transaction, not just some pure speculation on the radio. That’s a bit misleading, IMO. Is it possible? Sure. Do I think it will happen? Not in my lifetime when they have the stadium coming out of the ground. .
  21. Allen is A. Burrow is B. Mahomes? I don’t think the list goes that far.
  22. I remember a sausage, onion and pepper hoagie and the hotel bar full of Bills fans, mostly. Great day!
  23. My sister lives there and knew the hotel and the routine. Somehow they knew when the team was arriving. That was actually pretty cool. I had never seen them coming off the buses together. That was a lot of fun, as it always is meeting up with Bills fans, especially on the road.
  24. You can spell it any way you want. I’m volunteering for the position!!! They seem like a lovely family, and my family wouldn’t blame me for jumping ship. In fact, they might be trying to push me out already. It seemed like a passion when Kim got involved. I’d love it if the family can do this in a way that would make her proud. No Washington shenanigans, do it right and do it well.
