That’s awesome! I hope Dion can find a way to come out of his shell a little bit, not be so reserved. 🤣 I also noted, he is a VERY LARGE MAN when you put him next to regular human beings.

IDK, but this kind of opportunity is hard to pass up!

I wonder if this is week #1 or week #7? There’s a difference.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Shanahan wants QB’s who run his offense. Get the ball out to where it’s supposed to go. That’s how he gets by with a guy like Purdy. Josh is the opposite of that guy with all his improvising. I’m not sure if that is really such a great match as it would waste much of what Josh does best. JMO

Shall we roll the dice and waste Allen’s prime years starting over and revamping the roster to fit the new schemes for the new HC and coordinators? I’ll stick with what we’ve got in lieu of a gamble on a new guy.

I wonder where they rank Barry Switzer? There is a lot more to good coaching in the NFL than SB rings.

I think it’s at least sad that any human being could be so ignorant and misguided, but that’s a different kind of sadness.

Damn! I had the day after Thanksgiving in the pool!

They have outgrown the University Experience. I’m guessing that is a good thing. It certainly was for me.

So, Bengals still Bengalling. Shocking!

I don’t think the topic matters much, it’s always just the Bengals. Oh, and their in-state cousins, the Browns. I think I read the Bengals added a different clause, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s the guarantee thing or something else. Supposedly it was the first time for this ask, so….🤷‍♂️ .

Throw Alec Anderson in there and THAT would be fun to watch! Football with attitude!

There is a limit to how much time most people want to pass. It’s slow by nature, don’t let them drag it out.

Put it this way, I was in a dart league on Thursday nights and we travelled all over from bar to bar weekly, so Fridays were automatically cancelled. It was easy for me to find a way to do as little as possible. My Market Research professor gave us the syllabus on day #1, said there was a midterm and a final, and it was all from the textbook. Other than the midterm and the final, the only times I saw him after that was at the campus bar. Throwing darts, in fact. Do you see a theme yet? EDIT: To be accurate, I wasn’t always throwing darts. .

This is nothing……you should have seen me in college.

I have to mention, when our son lived in Nashville across the street from Vanderbilt the unit next door was Kelsea Ballerini’s. He kept saying “she’s a big deal!” but she just looked like one more girl in the hallway or at the pool to me. I had never heard of her before. My wife ran into her with her friend Tay Tay in the parking garage several times. That was only maybe 8-9 years ago? My how things have changed!

I’m not defending anyone, because I wasn’t there either. I’d like to know exactly what happened and how it happened before having a strong opinion. I find it works best that way. Look, it may have been poor messaging, but I want more than anecdotal reports that fit my narrative. If it was communicated poorly, that’s something they can learn from and improve upon. BUT, I don’t blame them for saying that the Bills have to stand as an independent business entity and they have to be self-reliant. They are a business for goodness sakes. What is wrong with that? It’s not just as inflammatory as “we have to maintain our luxury yachts and private jets”, but it’s the same message. Nuance matters.

It seems your valley is not really all that happy. 🤷‍♂️

Well, that’s good to know that you were there during the presentation and could read the minds of those preparing the message. That’s quite a gift! If raises are not expected, that should be communicated. That’s how it generally works in the real world. They told the truth, and that brings hate from some. I guess I should expect anyone who goes by “Fire Anyone” would be inherently negative.

OK, so I’m the slow guy now. If we win it this year, you can’t be happy and you will be banned from the parade! We have a good chance every year, things just haven’t gone our way…..yet.

That’s the spirit! Is it too late to call off this season?

I agree with this, except I think the loss in the regular season finale was a thing of beauty, and actually a sign of McD’s growth. That was a masterfully played loss to drop the Cheaters* out of the top spot in the draft. How to lose without looking like you are trying to lose is an art.
