He has generational wealth….that should last for generations. Stick to proven professionals, and play a little with the pocket change if you feel the urge.

Forget 4k TV! We need holographic TV! I forget what hole it was, but the drive landed 90 feet below the green. That is like hitting your approach shot onto the roof of a 9 story building. It’s insane! And the greens? Imagine being in Cincinnati and putting towards Charlotte to get to Cleveland! .

I seriously expect a CB signing before the draft. It’s how Beane rolls.

It’s a passing league. After you get the QB, you need the WR, and the CB to contain the WR. Then you need the Edge rusher to get after the QB, and the LT to stymie the edge rusher. I have just named the five highest paid positions on the Bills roster. Better to get them “cheap” for 4-5 years in the draft than go out and pay thru the nose for FA’s. Tre White was a fine pick in the first. Quality WR’s often contribute immediately. Get the most important positions filled with the best (and cheapest) players you can get.

They have very affordable pimento cheese sandwiches nearby! The Augusta National gear in the clubhouse is no bargain, but the food and drinks along the course have surprisingly low prices. Dirt cheap. We were supposed to meet up with my wife’s brother, but plans got messed up and we never found each other. NO CELL PHONES is a strict rule (you lose the passes for violating, for at least the whole week), so when the initial plan failed it was hard to recover. Had to wait until we were off the course and could use a phone at a bar to hook up. August National is amazing. August, GA…….not so much! I have to go to a black tie wedding there in the next few months. They think they are deep south genteel. I’m dreading it.

I’d like to think my wife is my best friend, but………….. I don’t think you’re right about this. You can’t make me! My gut says NO!!! -

A couple things come to mind after a quick Wikipedia check. First, he didn’t mention that he was the interim coach at the time. This probably doesn’t change the rules, but he conveniently leaves that out. There also just may be another version of that story. He acts like he wants to take the high road and smell like a rose, but he was pretty quick there to throw the owners under the bus and expose them. Maybe the fact that they let him go following the 2016 season influenced his outing of them? . “Malarkey and the Titans agreed to part ways” according to Wiki, but it sounds like at least one party is still harboring some resentment. -
The guy finished a tournament with a torn ACL. If he doesn’t finish, it’s because he can’t finish, not because he took it lightly. I promise, TV does not convey how difficult that terrain is. We had the pleasure of attending on a Thursday a few years ago. Seeing that course is a bucket list type of item. I hope he makes the cut (currently even). Golf is better with him out there, and his fellow golfers have to appreciate the extra money he’s generated with his presence over the years. .

I’m not sure what that is, but if there is a stupid law, we probably have.

How about motorcycles stop weaving in and out of traffic, passing cars all over on the highways all over Atlanta and elsewhere? Why all these bumper sticker telling ME to watch out for THEM? How about they stop being stupid and put more burden upon themselves to stay alive? My wife worked with a couple guys who met up and started biking (bicycles) around the narrow, windy, hilly roads around Atlanta. I joked “good, now they will have somebody to call 911 for them”. It was a JOKE, not a curse. I take no blame, but within a month one guy went over his handlebars breaking his collar bone and knocking his front teeth out, among other injuries. A simpleton could see how dangerous those roads are for biking, but we have no shortage. 🤷♂️

I hope we NEVER pay a RB a ton. Just use ‘em up, then get a new one. There are very few exceptions. I bet the Cowboy’s would like a do-over on Zeke’s contract.

You must SERIOUSLY AGREE! It happens. Ooops….

You’ve met many of us. We are slow learners! 🤷♂️

When I first saw this I thought is was going to be a stat Cowherd showed today. The Bill’s five highest paid players are: QB, Edge, WR, CB and LT. ALL of the key positions. The Patriots five highest paid players are a LB (Judon - a good player), then a couple TE’s and a couple so-so WR’s. Which team do you think has better managed their salary cap in today’s game? Hats off to Beane & company! -

Chump change…… -
Google Drew Holcomb and “Family”, then see them if they come close. It’s a great show. You’re welcome. (And I’m not usually a cocky guy.)

So true! I appreciate my own kind! The best year EVER in music was 1969. Hands down. Surrounding years were also good. I was 10 at the time, but it’s still the best year, and I know it. After that came disco, then rap. 🤮 I’ve seen the Stones three times. The first was about 1975 when I was about 16. Lifetime highlight at then Rich Stadium. Stepping thru the looking glass stuff for this young kid. Bed sheets hanging from the rafters announcing the “goods” they had for sale. It was a wild time, and I’ll never forget it. I’d rather go to Top Golf than see them again. We saw Drew Holcomb because my wife knew/worked with his dad. GREAT show. Turns out he sold a song for a car commercial and made a fortune! Parents met us for dinner, had rare reserved seats in front row of balcony (as opposed to standing on the floor) and we went backstage. Very good show if you get the chance. There is some decent current stuff, but I’m not going to rave about having seen Sheryl Crow at the Botanical Center. It was “nice” to be out on the lawn. The “newer” stuff I’ve heard does not excite me. I hear some stuff I like, but nothing I love. Van Morrison is stuff we LOVE! As I’ve mentioned before, we had a number of friends who are in the R&R HOF. We’d have dinner parties at each other’s house’s. Each house had it’s own musical theme. We were apparently a Van Morrison theme, and they universally agreed “that man has SOUL!”

Has the statute of limitations expired? I might be able to uncover that video. Hypothetically.

He can keep his wallet, and his car. You win his HOUSE! I’m guessing a Bob and a Jimmy something. -
Honestly, I wouldn’t put more than pocket change (as a percentage of net worth) into crypto. It’s not worth it to even get more educated for what I’d put into it. As you get older you need to be sure you keep what you’ve got, not swing for the fences. The key, for the younger people out there, is to start early, be aggressive about saving and wise about investing. .

Who on this board is most likely to get banned from SW Airlines for this?

I think there is a separate “Half Mile, Super Creepy” club. If he likes super kinky, maybe prison will appeal to him? -
We had a townhouse between Buckhead and Midtown in Atlanta that we rented (for half the market rent, I may add) to our son and DIL. They wanted out and bought a house in the burbs because they didn’t like the increase in hearing gun shots and drag racing. Buckhead had an initiative to secede from the Atlanta metro area to beef up the fight against crime. It is very real! (They are also starting a family, so need the “family home” with a yard, etc, but either way they were getting OUT.) Atlanta is bad, but NYC is something entirely different. There is only ONE NYC and I don’t know how they compare, but I wanted to mention NYC again because I want to stay focused on the topic. NYC.
