Augie

I dislike the injury issue. I HATE the cost both in terms of any draft pick, and especially the salary cap hit.

It seems this thread has taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way! I have a friend who went to UGA and went back to Athens to be in his buddies wedding. The Groom drove like three blocks from the reception to the hotel……… and got a DUI on his wedding night! YIKES! Bad start there!

You didn’t like the Tuesday game vs the Mystery Opponents? Yeah, I’m with ya’ there. .

I suspect it was rough on the Mods for a while there. I have to give them credit for welcoming all the new folks while establishing expectations. In the end, a lot of great new posters came from that.

I’m sure Tre would give him a giant hug on the podium when they lifted the Lombardi Trophy together. I hope people don’t judge me on my worst moment in life. That wouldn’t be pretty. Gronk is a pro who does nothing but win. I, personally, can get over it. With all due respect, I think the drafting of Torell Troup is the unforgivable sin here.

Golf is ideal for you. You don’t have to be speedy, and cheating is part of the program.

I think you are probably close…….if we just have you run a 20 yard dash. But can you beat Rich Eisen? That is what enquiring minds want to know!

She can help you get your limbs off. This seems like a match made in Heaven! This is a case where @Just Jack might want to adjust the title. Would ya? Or would ya survive to tell the tale?

Throw in an 8 track with your full collection of tapes to close the deal! Make it happen! I seriously have to wonder what happened to him!

He’s a Modern Day Zay Jones!

Well, he’s certainly fast enough! My main question is WHY he produced so little. I was curious about him coming out of college, and would have expected more. How are his routes? Hands? Coverage awareness? Or is he just fast?

I thought it was silly when they drafted him where they did. I don’t want to pay him now that he’s all dinged up. If he didn’t cost a single draft pick I’d have reservations about the salary. But I would kick the tires. You can get good RB’s in all rounds. If my son were the best athlete capable of a high level college program and possibly a professional career, I’d lead him towards WR if possible. Twenty years ago that was different, but times change.

From the best advice thread: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Some of those throwbacks are absolutely hideous! The Steelers have some awful stuff too. The Bumblebee stuff should be banned. I wonder if the players are embarrassed in some of those unis? They should be.

Do NOT get me started! No, no Popeye’s is NOT on my list! Well, they are on A list. It’s a $&^% list. Permanently. I will forward my therapy invoices directly to you, thank you very much!

I’m in Publix almost every day. (I have no idea what I’ll want for dinner tomorrow!) It’s kind of like a Hampton Inn, nothing special buy reliable. Last trip to WNY for a game I went with the family into a Wegman’s. It was part tailgate shopping/part tourist attraction. We all enjoyed the experience, which is a VERY strange thing to say. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a Publix sub, but they must be very popular based on the length of the line mid-day. But I’d be willing to bet Wegman’s would be my sub of choice.

Instead, The Pats* were awarded an extra comp pick, and that is where the tradition started. (My apologies, sometimes I can’t help myself.)

That sounds like a very successful pay-per-view!

If it’s a “special brownie”, that might be a deal, and you get to eat your dessert first! Then DEVOUR the rest.

The craftsmen from the old country will appreciate your magnificent work! You could rent it out for other goat owners, like Chuck E. Cheese for goats on their birthdays! Count on me for your business manager. I have ideas!

So, you are planning a goat-ominium complex? Does zoning allow that? Let me know if you need help. I’m not very handy but I can come by and call 911 if you cut a finger off.

My first job post-college was in banking in 1982. It was eye opening. You could get a CD for 17% but a mortgage was about 22%. CRAZY times! The people I thought were “wealthy”, the people in the beautiful houses with the fabulous cars, the flashy lawyers and brokers, taught me a lesson. My favorite house in Sea Pines (Hilton Head Island, SC) was bordering on foreclosure. The trophy wife would come in with tears streaming down her face several times a year, offering her jewelry if they could have another 30 days. The husband was a partner in one of the biggest law firms in town. My wife’s family probably had credit cards back then, but I never saw one. Lebanese family who said if you don’t have the cash to do it, you just don’t do it. Even if they took a couple dozen people to a nice restaurant, they paid cash. It’s a matter of mindset. Sadly, too many athletes grow up with little, and don’t understand that those giant paychecks won’t last forever. Put it aside and know you need a “second career” to make those earnings last. They went from zero to sixty in no time, and don’t understand they will soon go back to zero.

All the more reason to seek and support the much smaller local places. They have a hard time competing against the giants, but they are where you go for a true quality meal, even if it’s a bit pricier. Even the “high end” restaurants named are just franchise joints. Some are OK, but none are great. Our favorite restaurants are often a hole in the wall next to a package store you wouldn’t DREAM of going into….unless you had local knowledge.

Almost the only time we ever do fast food is if we are driving long distance. Wendy’s is my first choice, and Arby’s would be next if there is one at our exit. I used to get Taco Bell for a late lunch a few times a year, and enjoyed it throughly…..until I regretted it. It’s fun, until the gross feeling sets in. Burger King does not react well with my system. I think I probably LOSE weight if I eat a Whopper. Bad idea when you never know when the next exit is coming up! McD’s…….has reliable bathrooms. I will say, Jersey Mike’s has some pretty good food. But I always prefer avoiding franchises in favor of independent local joints when I have the option.

He IS a small dog, and he wants to get paid before he gets broken (again).

Those are my favorite games! 😋 Unfortunately, punting turned out to be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS……… for us……….in the opener vs the Steelers.
