…and the son was a curious guy to overlook, it seemed. I don’t know what the hell happened, but I wouldn’t be surprised if what actually happened was significantly different in some way than the story in our heads. It could have been two guys from the grassy knoll. 🤷‍♂️ .

It hurts to know that we were that close, but it also gives me hope to know that we were that close. Like the players, and the coaches for that matter, schemes can evolve over time. It’s not like it will be wholesale change, but I think we will adapt. You have to keep adapting.

Garrett already knows what he’s doing. All the coaches are for everybody else. 😊

I prefer a celebration of life, myself. (Just leave out that last quarter, please.)

That would be a good point if the Jags had not been there a week in advance and already played a game in London. Make it apples to apples and at least that aspect of the game would have been equally difficult. .

It was inherently unfair to play a Bills “home game” in London against a Jags team that has been establishing a fan base in London since 2013. It is unconscionable that the Jags had been in London for an entire week to get acclimated before the Bills arrived to play there in Roger’s little “experiment”. I’m sorry, Goodell cannot come back from that in my mind. The integrity of the game should come before expanding markets. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I don’t care. Every game matters, don’t screw with them. EDIT: While I’m at it, why doesn’t the NFL make sure the playing surfaces are safe and acceptable. Von Miller said the field at Tottenham was the worst he had ever played on. We had quite a few injuries on that field. .

At the Mexican place by where I get my hair cut I will go table to table until I find it. For some reason, at that place and with that food, that is the only correct answer. It’s weird.

I admit it, I was wrong. I used to think the people who booed Goodell at the drafts were morons. I now see the light, and I’m wondering if a permit is needed to have a rotten tomato stand outside the draft in Green Bay.

Don’t you think it would be wise to start with a very torrid and fattening affair?

I ordered wings hot at a pizza joint I like. They warned me, the hot is not a sauce, it’s a rub, and it’s VERY hot. Medium it was to go along with my slice. After a few minutes a guy comes in with his wife and sits at the bar next to me. He orders hot wings and they give him the warning. He says “that’s what beer is for.” As he’s finishing the first wing I ask how the heat is. “Just fine”, but he does order another beer. During the second wing he kinda stops and mutters “it builds on you.” I knew something was up with his eyes and nose running like that all of a sudden. Another beer. I admit, I am a quitter when it comes to something like that. But this guy was STUBBORN! He charged ahead and kept ordering beer, and his wife kept telling him he was an idiot. “They warned you! But NO! Not YOU” 😂 .

I wonder about the “Seahawks old approach”. Are their fans still tormented and resentful about throwing the ball at the goal line instead of handing it to Marshawn Lynch to win the Super Bowl? Is that their 13 seconds? Ours was “just” the AFCCG. Time does not change anything, but the sting lessens. The better you can get over it the happier you will be.

That’s exactly where I am now, 2 episodes in. I decided to wait for my wife and I re-watched them with her last night, only to realize she had fallen asleep at some point. I may be watching episode #2 for the third time! 😂 I’m enjoying it so far, thought it took me a few minutes to figure out what’s what and who’s who.

We’ve made pizza with store bought dough (Publix) and it’s fun to do. You have people over and everyone gets to make their own and pick their toppings. Add wine, and it’s a great evening. The next step is to use the pizza dough recipe we got at a fantastic cooking class in Rome. It uses durum flour and something else, and it was unlike any other pizza ever. Incredibly light! I have a pic of my wife with this big pie in front of her, then I have a pic of her eating the last bite. It was so light she could eat the whole thing!

Anything with a nice lemon/caper/butter sauce goes good with anything, IMO.

That might not have been exclusive. Just sayin’….. They can be like that, I know.

Has this been Quincy approved? I don’t think he’d like the cheater.

My wife LOVES to dance, but she accepts that I am a lost cause. You just described my footwork, except mine is in a more random order. 😊

Oh no, I’m sorry. I wasn’t disputing what seemed to be happening there. I’m just saying….you never know. You lean on a horn too long and it can be taken poorly.

Well then somebody needs to start another rumor!

The loss of life is tragic, regardless of the details. There is a reason I control my road rage. That chit can blow up in your face and ruin your day.

The Myles Garret thread has 21 pages in 4 hours. Come on guys, this has been open since Jan 27. Let’s pick up the pace!!!

I bet we don’t hear from Mr Meadcoin anymore because he’s in the Big House! I have no idea when my collection of cards got tossed. I lived in 9 houses before leaving WNY for college. (Technically 8, but I lived in one of them twice.) I don’t know how long it took for my mother to stop moving those things around WNY. I’m sure there was nothing really valuable in there, and they have no intrinsic value to me. My album collection, however, was a big deal to me. It was a sad day when I realized they had gotten too warm in storage and were destroyed.

I value my flexibility a LOT. Plus, it’s not really a savings if we don’t eat $30 worth of vegatables every week. I’m intrigued by the concept, but I’d probably give up on it after one season. Loosely related, there was a community we where lived in Hilton Head that had a communal farm where people could rent a plot each season to grow their vegatables. It was well organized with storage and irrigation and people could drive or bike there to tend to their produce. We’ve never had the proper yard or sunlight to grow much of anything, but I think I’d love that, especially now that I’m retired.

The one closest to me is $30/week with a 14 week minimum. No work is required and there are 130 shares. I have commitment issues. Does that mean I have to be at the pickup at a certain day/time every week? That might not be convenient, and we go away for a couple weeks every summer. That alone might cause me some pause. I suppose I could have the vegetarian DIL pick it up. Or…..I could just look for a better farmers market that gives me more flexibility. But I am very curious.

This is very interesting to me. There is one that has a drop off very close to our house (Lovett School), and several a little farther away, like Marietta Square. How do you choose one? Just roll the dice? How big is the pickup window? Does that mean I have to be somewhere at a certain day and time every week? I’m not sure I love that level of commitment. .
