  1. This is what NFL.COM had to say about Collins. “He’s a legit specimen. With the right coaching he could end up taking off and becoming the best interior player in this class.” – NFC personnel director I hope some of the new guys we’ve brought in can do for the DLine what Kromer has done for the OLine.
  2. Yeah, what actually happened matters. Tyrod Taylor was not injury prone because somebody stuck a needle into his lung. This is not the same as recovering from a blown out knee. And yes, I would expect a bad shoulder to have some impact on his tackling.
  3. The rioting will commencer shortly.

    RIP flaz

    Now he is at peace.
  5. But the broadcast comes at different times for different people. It varies more than you would think. My son can be a play or two ahead or behind during a game.
  6. Does that have to do with the refresh rate? I remember the TV before this one was not good for sports because the refresh rate was poor. The ball almost seemed to skip sometimes. I had forgotten about that, but it’s one reason I like our LG so much.
  7. I don’t think that will help much. My family room and kitchen are attached, and even they don’t synch up. My son can be several plays ahead or behind watching a Bills game. That’s A LOT. IDK why it’s that way. 🤷‍♂️

    RIP flaz

    RIP It’s easy to not notice when someone doesn’t show up here for a while. Thanks to SDS for letting us know as I’m sure many would want to be aware. And cancer does suck.
  9. While we are on TV’s, we have a Samsung Frame TV in the living room. It’s awesome because when it’s not being used as a TV you can put pictures on it, anything from a Monet masterpiece to family photos or holiday themed art. It’s pretty cool to not have it look like a black TV on the wall. It can be motion activated so it can turn itself off if you are not around.
  10. I don’t know about the QLED aspect, but with 4K it depends on what you are watching. Go into Best Buy or Costco and they display stuff designed to catch your eye and give you a WOW moment. If you’re watching the news, it’s no big deal. It’s better, but it’s pretty darn good without the 4K. Bottom line is there its still limited content, but you can find 4K stuff if you look for it. .
  11. I’ve got a 77” LG OLED TV in the family room, and we LOVE it. I ordered it thru Crutchfield because they had free delivery and it was about $200 less than Best Buy or Costco. Win/win. The free delivery saved me from renting a van because it would not fit in either of our cars at the time. That may be helpful to you. I was watching Notre Dame play in Dublin and a box popped up asking if I wanted to watch it in 4K. Yes please! I learned that I get several 4K stations already, plus you can search in Netflix, etc for 4K only. It’s nice, but the picture is pretty darn good to start with. I think of TVs a being disposable these days. I hope the next one lasts longer for you. EDIT: The 4K channels do not always have programing available. There’s only a few of them, and sometime they are just blank on my DTV Streaming setup. You can search for 4K on other streaming services. .
  12. Yeah, restraining orders are not fun at all. 🤷‍♂️
  13. At nine we are probably almost onto shots, and that doesn’t come easy until about 12-14 years old in Buffalo. (Un)Fortunately, we got to practice well into the night/morning until about 4am. That’s growing up in Buffalo.
  14. Josh just announced he signed with the LIV Tour. Oil money > Football money. Still happy now?
  15. It was a special occasion, nothing wrong with that! 🍺
  16. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Thank goodness for Hospice and the people who do that work. They are special people. I don’t know if I could handle that position. I hope his loved ones can take some comfort while he is in their care.
  17. You old fart…..I was 5. Hearing his voice was as cool as watching the game. In 3rd grade his son Jeff was in my class and I used to walk home to their house after school sometimes. It was the first color TV I ever saw, and the chest inside the front door was full of all kinds of AFL game balls. Jeff’s toy chest was filled with more balls. It was pretty cool, but I don’t think I realized just how cool at the time. Jeff turned out to be an NFL QB as well, lasting about a decade or so. It was only with Jeff visiting and on my team that we could beat the older kids from my neighborhood. I got curious and looked him up one time and learned he had become a motivational speaker. It seems he inherited his father’s gravelly voice as well a his smarts (he went to Dartmouth) and football ability. It was a weird thing to notice.
  18. I barely remember him talking. It was hard to hear over the smell. 😂 I don’t know where he was originally from, but it wasn’t anywhere clean. He was up there with the Limburger cheese sandwiches my dad would eat when I was a kid. There was no just ignoring it. It has to beat “the squirts”, doesn’t it?
  19. There was another dad on my son’s middle school basketball team who, for some reason unknown to me, always wanted to sit next to me in the stands. He wasn’t a bad guy, other than the stench that comes with someone who hasn’t bathed in a year or two. That man’s stink could gag a maggot! Other parents on the team knew he was going to come in and sit next to me, so they would go find another seat when he walked into the gym. They saw no reason why they had to breathe near that man if they didn’t have to, so they cleared out in advances and make it less obvious. I didn’t blame them. So, what would I do to avoid him? I would fake trips to the restroom or concession stand, then come back and take a different seat. Sometimes it worked, other times he’d just join me in my new location, much to the chagrin of my new neighbors. Decades later that will still get a hearty laugh from the whole family! You almost have to try to stink that bad!
  20. Thanks, but you lost me at vampires. I don’t do vampires or zombies. I’ll have to wait for the next thing she does.
  21. I find this more interesting than most.
  22. I think I’ve been to a movie theater once since Covid, and it was a Silver Spot dinner theater (like Cinebistro). The world changed rapidly on that front between Covid and streaming options.
  23. I don’t know anything about her, or her movies, but she came off as very likable here promoting the new film. .
  24. You can’t fix accuracy problems. That’s been proven over and over.
