I almost had to call once, around 5th grade. I was upstairs playing chess with a buddy, and I hear my sister screaming from down in the kitchen. I run downstairs to find she has started a grease fire trying to make popcorn. (This is before microwaves or Jiffy Pop, for the younger crowd.) The flames are leaping up, but I don’t panic. I run into the dining room and open the sliding glass door and use pot holders to carry this bucket of fire to the dining room and toss it into the back yard. Unfortunately, the screen door was still closed on the slider, and the fire just bounced right back at me and landed on the dining room carpet. OOPS! 😱 🔥 I opened the screen and kicked the pot-o-fire onto the back patio. The good news is it had landed on a remnant of carpet used to wipe our feet, so the doormat was ruined but the carpet was saved.

So, we’ll put you down as not since high school.

…and he never missed a flight!

That sounds like Bishop last year. It’s Deja Vu…..

There is a small post office near the food court at the mall by us. What a great find! There’s usually no more than one other customer in there, and the employees are friendly and helpful like an Ace Hardware store! Plus, it’s near the endless chicken-on-a-toothpick samples if you keep circling the food court. I don’t think there is a point where they cut you off. 🤷‍♂️

An important part of “the process” is knowing who to blame. If we can’t point a finger at somebody the whole thing is much less satisfying.

Not to mention, about the only things remaining from “this franchise” (that ruined the QB’s) are the uniform and the city where they play home games. The ownership, GM and coaching have all changed since Losman and Edwards. We are allowed to start over now with new and more timely complaints, and I’m sure we will.

I think I can speak for all when I say we grieve for your terrible hardship. 😊

I don’t think it’s reasonable for you to expect a lesser pour! If that’s what that means…

Good for you! You’ll be in Jamaica while I’m in Nashville for the bye week, which happens to be my BDay weekend. My son has to be there for a wedding, but my babysitter/wife rented a house for a week and we have friends joining us. We used to spend a lot of time there and we still love it. Great bye week timing!

The question is, do we have to add one, or let one develop? How about the names you listed above? How many were “the final piece” added at a premium in terms of acquisition cost and contract, and how many became that guy in time? I’m not saying don’t add talent, I’m just wondering at what cost? That’s always the difficult question.

Maybe on occasion, when we have a 3 score lead in the 4th quarter. I can live with that.

Since you mention the $$$, I looked around and asked earlier, but I haven’t seen what a reasonable contract expectation would look like. If Myles Garrett got $40 Mil/year, what does this look like? I’m not saying he’s Garrett but just looking at recent deals. Draft pick compensation is only one part of the equation. I’d like to know both sides of the deal.

I probably shave at least 363 days a year. It’s just part of getting up. If I didn’t shave you probably wouldn’t notice, but it’s part of the process to get ready for the day. But, how many of you have to worry about the hair on your back merging with the hair on their neck and head? Like Fitz, but it reverse. I see that at the barber shop sometimes, and there can be a no man’s land kinda dilemma. How much of this do we clear? Separation of hairy areas is like shoveling in a blizzard.

I think the Jones family does not realize how many people are laughing at them, not with them.

That’s awesome! We check our neighbors when they are away and I was surprised to find how committed he is to the shop in his basement. That is no light undertaking to create that kind of stuff.

I’ve hopped around and didn’t see anything, but what would a contract extension have to look like?

Thank you! I have to believe this will help at least a little bit!

…and probably 10-20% higher than if Jerruh had just done it when a smart GM would have done it. Well done, Jerruh! You’ve outsmarted yourself yet again!

1) I play a lot of tennis and have since getting out of college and moving to a resort community. Great exercise and sense of community. 2) I go out to lunch every day and read a book. I miss the book table at Costco, but I’m learning to deal with Barnes & Noble efficiently. 3) Golden Retrievers. I am currently on Goldens #7 and #8, probably my final Golden. 4) See #3, I vacuum a LOT! On the wish list, I’d like to add traveling much more since the wife recently retired. So far it’s been mostly smallish type trips and we have WNY (including Watkins Glen and Niagara on the Lake) for the opener next month and a Nashville trip in October. We are looking to add a more significant trip for Christmas and/or next spring, but no details there yet. We really want to fly out Christmas Day and let that become an exciting tradition rather than the two of us being sad at home alone together. We have found that to be a weird time that could become an opportunity for something great.

It can’t hurt to show him what the Chiefs will be doing in the playoffs. Let that just feel natural to you, I say.

Thank you, bonus points and a gold star for showing your work.

That could almost be considered entrapment. Just sayin’

…and the question was how much of it was because he’s a huge person with a bad back. He seemed to play lower the year before, I think. What might he become with good health and proper technique? I would LOVE to find out! .

I’d be willing to venture that you could also only find Madagascar for the same reason.
