Nope. I can’t be positive what you are pointing toward, but I AM curious and would love for you to put it out there for us. Don’t hint and not tell. I can tell you I never would have done that, but since you brought it up, do tell what my trigger is…… I’m good. What are you thinking?

Might alcohol have been involved in an unfortunate altercation? Has THAT ever happened before???

Stupid? I can agree. Understandable? Nope. Be the grown up. My wife would be furious with me if I had done that. She is also a grown up.

We see this differently. That’s OK. It’s still not clear to me exactly what he said that was so offensive, but it doesn’t matter. If it was bad, that’s crap on Chris Rock. As it is, it’s mostly on Will Smith because of how it played out. I care VERY little about anyone in Hollywood, but I had a situation where a buddy tried to “defend” my wife by committing assault on a drunk idiot at an NFL game. That shapes my opinion. He was a friend, and tried to defend his actions. I thought it was worthy of arrest. My wife took my side, you don’t get physical. Be a grown up. BTW - Same guy lost his job and later had a domestic violence arrest for being overly volatile, presumably with alcohol involved. I can forgive, but I won’t ignore.

I saw “King Richard” courtside at some tournaments during practice rounds. I suppose there is a number with enough digits to make me sit thru that movie, but I’m not desperate, so it’s a pretty big number. That was a dick move by a guy who played a dick in a movie, I just have to wonder if it was contrived. Like kindergarten, don’t bite, use your words. .

Solid tweet by the “journalist” shouter Steven A. Should that be an exclamation mark or a question mark? Oh, and STOP SHOUTING AT ME!

He was conveniently located. Ratings, you ask? I don’t begrudge them their money, but I don’t let their lives have any influence upon mine.

Seems like somebody crossed a line! Maybe a couple of somebodies. I’ve never watched that stuff before…..and I’ll still probably wait for these Cliffs Notes. .

This feels a little like the $5 birthday check from my grandmother I never had the heart to cash.

That is the Sammy Watkins/Kyrie Irving version. There are different styles……for people of sound mind. She gets points for flexibility! I’ve got the standard Bills cornhole setup. Regardless of occasion, Bills gear is the go-to gift from most people who know me well. .

While true, that post shows a very shallow understanding of the problem.

I think you’re right. We need Rex back, because we are having terrible off-seasons. You with me? We are a perennial leading SB contender. Deal with it.

My best friend from college had a daughter who played for St Peter’s and they would attend a ton of home and away games. (He learned his way around NYC pretty well!) He sent me pictures of them celebrating the last win, all wearing their St Peter’s gear. Oh my! It looked like college all over again! Months ago we were looking at the schedule for a nearby performing arts center. We noticed a couple comedians (Kathleen Madigan and Leann Morgan) were playing on back to back nights. Great venue, so we bought tickets for both shows. It wasn’t until this week did I realize it was Elite Eight weekend. Ooops! Of course, we have dinner before the shows with friends, just to be sure I miss as much as possible. 😓

It is The Great Whiner’s farewell tour, after all.

Who said he is a scrub? He’s just not elite. What is he great at? Josh he is NOT. In hope they stick with a B- or C+ QB, it makes our path easier.

So, are you saying we can NOT find our new punter this way? I’d like an open competition and all options available!

In the WAY BACK, I’d take my dogs to the beach down by the Salty Dog, then go drink at the bar while they dried out and dropped some sand before riding home in my convertible. Those were the days. I didn’t even own leashes. It was a bunch of regulars avoiding the tourists in Harbor Town. Now? No dogs allowed near the Salty Dog. Bummer, but it’s so crowded it’s hard to even park nearby. Can’t add dogs to that mix. We banked the guy who built the big expansion down there. He sold well, the next guy thinks it was a bargain. If you can get to Harbor Town there is a trolly shuttle that will take you to the Beach Club, the Plantation Club (golf courses and a nice restaurant) and down to South Beach, home of the famous Salty Dog. I am positive you have seen one of those tee shirts somewhere, some time. A bartender down there told me he’s made more on the tee shirts than selling food and drink. All I know is he’s a VERY wealthy man! The shuttle is seasonal, but it should be available. If you have time, I’d recommend it to see the highlights of Sea Pines. Also, if you like golf at all, the Harbor Town clubhouse is open (with a nice restaurant) and you can walk thru the locker room where all the PGA players have their names on lockers. Pretty cool. Have fun!

I know other fanbases would disagree, but I don’t think there is any tighter fan community than our Bills fans. It’s more than football to us. I’m glad you had the gift of experiencing this personally. When my boys turned 16 I took each to a Bills home game as a rite of passage. I’ll never forget taking my oldest to dinner at the Creekview restaurant in Williamsville the night before the game. I explained what we were doing to some nice folks, and they LOVED it! Before long, we had several groups of people begging us to be their guests at their tailgates. We were a couple strangers in a bar/restaurant. That doesn’t happen the way it did in many places. I’m glad for your good fortune, and despite not knowing your benefactor, I’m sorry for the loss.

We don’t want to hear about your swimming history! Try to stay on topic, would you?

That is an excellent idea, as it creates bonds beyond just “exposure” .

GOOD FOR YOU! I started going to HHI in 1977, moved there after college in 1982. Met my wife there and our kids were born there. Moved to Sarasota in 1993, but get back maybe every other year. I will be buried there (hopefully no time soon) with much of my family. I would have been a great source decades ago, but I’m not your “up-to-date” guy now. I’m certainly good for general questions. Daufuskie is beautiful, but remote and quiet. I’m sure you know it’s only accessible by boat. There were two main developments back then, Haig Point at the north end of the island and Melrose Club (?). Melrose was proud of their international membership showing their list of members to prospects. Unfortunately, the people from Japan and Finland rarely dropped in to buy a burger. The monthly minimums rose to cover expenses went up so much you could’t give Melrose memberships away. They started at $35K (maybe 1985), rose to about $65k because it was so “cool”, then they jacked up the minimums and my parents eventually bought one for $500. A lawyer buddy I used for bank forecloses, etc would take us over for golf, tennis, food and drink trying to meet the minimums. “WAIT! Don’t you need a hat and maybe a putter?” Melrose was awesome but is now known as something else. It’s beaches looked across Calibogue Sound to Harbor Town and South Beach. I’d go there tomorrow for a vacation. Cabanas along the beach were great. Bloody Point came a little later with what I think is a Jack Nicholas course I think I played once. Outside the plantations, it was rough, and the roads were not all paved. Pat Conroy wrote the book The Water is Wide, turned into the movie Conrack, with Jon Voight. It’s a beautiful place. I don’t know the current version, but I’m sure you’ll have a great time. They have water taxi’s over to Harbor Town still, I believe. Harbor Town is awesome, and quintessential Hilton Head. It’s not huge, but it would be a mistake not to visit once. The 18th Green of the Harbor Town course (the week after the Masters every year) goes right up to the harbor and is a classic golf venue. If you get to Harbor Town, I highly recommend dinner at CQ’s. I hope it lives up to what it was for decades, but, restaurants…..you never know. .

There should be more strict laws guarding against the poaching of Wildgoose. What is this world coming to?

Only in states…..NOT anywhere near me. I got myself a broken time zone!

Maybe I should have bolded brain fart and live and learn. It’s over, I’ve moved on. I guess that’s my point.

If you are talking about the 13 seconds, seek help. That wasn’t about talent and developing, that was a brain fart. Live and learn.
