Can someone please post our Scouts/Beane visits
Augie replied to Food_Pyramid_Wrong's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yolo would be impressed!!! -
I think that might call for concussion protocol until further notice.

Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Augie replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
You’re paying attention, I can tell. 😋 -
My foot wedge is pretty harmless. When they start talking how much we are going to gamble, I mention that it will be my intent to cheat at every possible opportunity. That usually takes some steam out of the gambling talk. 🤷♂️

There is no salary cap for Scouts. I’d make it a priority like building the lines.

Time to focus on Special Teams! 😋

Maybe he just went shopping for a hooker online, and fell in love? 🤷♂️ Love makes you do crazy things!

Oh, how I miss those years! It was the same thing in basketball, if you can’t go left, you can’t go anywhere because they will just take going right away. It’s good for sports, for sure, but it also teaches you work ethic. Nope, it ain’t easy. THAT is why you are working at it.

You deserve the rest!

Our son was a very good soccer player. He could have played in college, and he “got it” the first time on the field in a 3 on 3 as a little kid. He would just dribble around the kids picking flowers. He knew why he was there, and it was a mission, regardless of pretty cloud formations! Eventually in Rec league games (school and travel team, be sure you win first) we told him it only counted if he scored with his head or his left foot. It REALLY helped develop his skill set.

Augie replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m sorry, it’s not personal, but that is a horrible take. (See the bold.) Are you calling people racists because they think Lamar wants a contract that would be a bad move for any team? Top dollar (originally said to be 100% guaranteed, but now he’s “reportedly” backed off) after spending TWO first round picks. My understanding is he’s been offered Cousins types of deals, but he wants longer term AND fully guaranteed. He wants the STUPID deal the Browns gave Watson. One stupid deal does NOT make the market. Look at the Cousins deals - he was smart and willing to accept short term deals. He’s made a fortune on 1-2 year deals over and over. Lamar could do the same. Lamar would be fully guaranteed on the $32mil +/- franchise deal. Nobody resents that, to my knowledge. I think he was offered 3 years for $133 mil guaranteed, but he wanted more and/or longer. His style does not lend itself to long term fully guaranteed deals. He needs to stay healthy and earn his money. I don’t see this as racist. The man needs professional representation. With a qualified agent none of this would be happening. . -
I grew up with a table in the basement, and have one now. I was better than most, but if I tried to go left handed today I might be up past my bedtime trying to finish a single rack. I’m afraid to even TRY! One of our friends growing up was forced to switch hands in middle school. He was one of the better athletes in our neighborhood, but he had nerve damage to his right hand resulting in partial use. (Horrible story about his brother returning from Vietnam, not being right and a kitchen knife.) Before too long he was beating people in tennis left handed. Most people know a guy like that….he’s just better than the average bear, and it’s quite clear to everyone.

I think proof of funds should be required for you to post in this thread. Sorry, nothing personal. I hope we don’t invest too heavily in this draft, which by all accounts is weak. IF we move around, I wouldn’t hate taking some picks in next years draft. I don’t think the GM and coach of a Super Bowl favorite are in the hot seat the way some fans here seem to think they are. Invest wisely and build something sustainable.

Shouldn’t we report this to someone? I mean, that’s kinda messed up!

New stadium cost goes up from $1.4 billion to $1.54 billion.
Augie replied to cba fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
So, for example, Hammer's Lot suddenly allowing dizzy bat might fly under the radar? -
Hysterical! I was flying home to Sarasota, FL one time and the girl in the window seat was a college kid. She was going to see her grandma for spring break and hit the beaches. The airport is very close to the shore, and we got a view almost like that. Not as swarming at all, but clear enough to see all the little dark dots moving around close to shore. “Hmm, what do you think those are?”, I asked. 😋 She audibly gasped! She then made a Mr Bill Face, and shortly thereafter she started breathing again. I doubt she went in deeper than her ankles on that trip!

I’ve got to believe that is very good for the plumbers out there. -
Good perspective on how good we were last year
Augie replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Patriots run is one of the greatest oddities in NFL history. It took a lot of things aligning for that to happen. That is why it is talked about. Using that as a comparison ALMOST borders on being disingenuous, but I don’t think that was your intent at all. It was just an anomaly. We shouldn’t argue “he’s no Bo Jackson” either. Who is? Will the Chiefs be the next dynasty? I doubt it. They have Mahomes, so that’s not a bad place to start, but Andy Reid is 65 and the Pats* were a 2 decade run. That’s unlikely to be seen again in the salary cap era IMO. The injuries we suffered last year, especially on the defensive side of the ball, felt like the worst luck possible. It almost became funny at some point. Luck and injuries are two different but related things. -
It’s good that you never really thought about it. It just might make you crazy! 😂 It’s actually very cool that people along the way let you do it the way that was natural for you. My son’s school seems to have “corrected him” into being a rightie. His son doesn’t seem to have much of a preference, and I think that’s awesome. My left arm is there mostly to make me look symmetrical. BTW - has part of you thought of running for President?

PLUS, the county will get all THEIR money back from DUI fines! Win/win! And it will feed the lawyers! What’s to hate here? . . -
Paying attention, huh? 😋 Since the statute of limitations has long since past, that was the other sister.

Oh no, this is all JUST for the renderings. The stadium will be extra! Are they responsible for ALL cost overruns, or just after construction begins. I don’t know the details, but I’m pretty sure the overruns will be significant coin. -
Do home movies count? 😋 I’m not a fan of things that make me uncomfortable. I still remember my sister (8 years older) taking me to see The Exorcist on Easter Sunday the year it came out. It left a mark that lasted a while, I assure you.

The bold is my greatest fear - too high and too steep. I don’t think I’ll know until I get inside. I saw a fan video from one of the newer stadiums (I think it was SoFi) that gave me vertigo just watching on my iPad! I’ve been in stadiums where it felt like I was climbing to Manchu Picchu. We went to an NBA game in Orlando one time with the family. My father refused to eat or drink because he was afraid to need the bathroom because he could only make that climb to our seats once. I get that it keeps you closer to the field, but there is a trade-off there. Too steep or high can be a problem. Time will tell.
