Is Mazie the avatar? Bigger would be better. We are all cheerleaders on Team Mazie! You go girl! If you’ve never been a dog person, you may not get how close and personal this is.

Rest assured that you have done everything in your power to help her. After that, it’s out of your hands. One of my favorite things about dogs is they never feel sorry for themselves. Certainly better than people in that regard. Hoping you have much better news tomorrow. GO MAZIE!!!

I think the words “already” or possibly “still” could be inserted there. Color me impressed regardless! We would go to Canada for the beer stores, then hit the quarries with the girls from the neighborhood. Special times! I’m telling ya’ that was one hell of a fun “childhood” growing up in WNY. Yes, I moved away, but I have no complaints about my time there. .

I generally agree with you, except he has some strong completion from The Booger. Also a complete moron, and I’ll never get over his insistence that the crack back block penalty on Cody Ford was legit. You know, the penalty the league later apologized for. As a runner-up, how about Marshall Faulk? Was he the one who said our top need was LT, when the only Pro Bowl player on our team was Jason Peters? Does ESPN not vet these guys at all? Or do they just not care?

Not every important lesson learned in college is related to your GPA! I like that Gabe is working hard, but I pray there are no unintended consequences. Strong is great, as long as he doesn’t lose a half step by getting bigger. .

Mazie is too young for this. Get well! She’s part of the family for sure! EDIT: I’m taking our almost 2 year old Scout for a walk now, because she would like that and we can. The 13 year old Golden will wait here. She picks her moments, and this isn’t one of them. .

Are you trying to get me BANNED???

This is certainly all true, but it doesn’t mean they have established a punishment from the league. The NFL will have their say in the end.

I’d like to take a brief moment to thank Yolo for getting his first name correct in the title. This is the kind of fine service to which we have become accustomed. I’d have put the likelihood of getting it right from the rest of this crowd closer to 50%. I’m going with the Great White, if it’s a home game!

Yeah, it seems he has yet to be punished a single game by the league. Zip! Nada! He got paid not to play in the tire fire that is Houston at this point in time. He missed games only because he and the Texans agreed to do it that way. The league punishment is still to come, and I’m afraid it won’t be enough.

Few people are aware that Bill B. Majored in alchemy in college during the Middle Ages. I hope he retires soon as HC, but stays on as GM until the end of time.

Without twitter some things slipped thru the cracks. Yolo is only human! . Gabe Davis is an astute historian!

This is the legendary work of Bill Belichick, GM. We have a love/hate relationship.

The two main instigators in the pitchfork parade seem to have disappeared. Finally.

Can we have that transferred to VHS or Betamax? I’m not very current.

I will be sure to make some turf available, for sure. It will come with a very nicely forged Certificate of Authenticity. Framed with a pretty font and everything! It’s not really practical, since you are on the west coast, but otherwise I’d have suggested we go halves on the wrecking ball when they are done. That thing will have touched all the important spots!

WASHING YOUR HANDS in a circle presents few problems. However………

It’s catchy for sure, but I think I’ll just call it The Ralph II. I can never keep those top women’s tennis players straight, and this doesn’t help! .

I know the NFL will do what’s best for the NFL. That is a given. Having said that, I am far more concerned about the 100 million people watching a Super Bowl on TV (the “regular people”) than I am about the host city (who really would not be harmed) or the tens of thousands of people who are fortunate enough to attend. This is mostly a corporate event live, and increasingly attended by the titans of industry. They don’t have to grovel to get an extra day off. I was lucky enough to go to a Super Bowl, and I can tell you it would have made ZERO difference to me had it taken place on a Saturday. ZERO. I just would have adjusted my dates and arrived a day earlier and used Sunday as my travel home day, thereby not missing work the next week. Just come in a day or two earlier. All the same parties would still have taken place, the bars and restaurant filled just a day earlier. I don’t expect this to happen in my lifetime because they have figured out how to make the most money possible, and I don’t see that as ever being anything but priority #1. Still, in so many ways it makes so much sense.

Yeah, but that’s when the fun begins for the winning city! There is rioting and looting to be done, and of course those couches are not going to burn themselves on the sidewalks! It’s a late night, for sure.

Per Dan Patrick, 71 of the last 76 Major finals has had at least one of these guys in it. That’s incredible!

Is your 50 upside down? Or is that the field version of Rex’s truck?

Love Rafa as well, and him adding one while taking one away from Djokovic would have felt good. Oh well, I can live with wide right, so I can live with this. We love our sports, and sports are just entertainment. I just hope Rafa is 100% and gets the US Open.

I assume you are aware of his well documented history with mental health and addiction issues. I respectfully won’t dismiss that with a with a 10 cent head description. https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/andy-murray-expressed-concern-after-noticing-evidence-of-self-harm-on-nick-kyrgios-body-says-austral_sto9029425/story.shtml He certainly makes me wonder, but I’m proud of him for a great tournament. He has the game to beat Djokovic, he just need that 6 inches between his ears to get in line. .

I’m not sure if he’s “officially” retired, but if not he’s just loitering on the 18th green. He’s my all-time favorite. We used to go to Miami for the Sony/Lipton/Erickson/Miami Open. Just minutes and about 20 feet after watching Serena and family act like complete trash on a practice court (cussing like a sailor at her hitting partner and crushing racquets left and right, all while dad strode around scowling at the crowd - all with the fence lined with 5 year old kids), Roger walked by laughing and smiling with dozens of little kids in tow. He was rubbing their floppy hair and they were all having a great time. I know greatness often comes with an edge, but the contrast that day amazed me. Roger is my #1 all-time. I really like Nadal, and part of that is how he called out Djokovic when he said Federer was no big deal. At the time Roger had a serious lead in Majors, like 12-0 over Djokovic, and Rafa said something to point that out. In order, I think my favorites are Federer, Nadal and Sampras as a close #3. I respect his tennis, but the Joker is not I’m my top 10. He’s the Aaron Rodgers of tennis, a self centered prima donna who has learned to put up a better face, but it’s still not genuine, IMO.
