  1. One of the priests I was most familiar with (not the cardinal I asked question originally when I was ordained who gave me an open window with question "Any Questions?") who would come to many of our family weddings as a guest stated this while sharing a beer "Some who rise very high do not feel comfortable in their own skin as public figures adopt another name as a role they play." Not sure if he meant that as a complement or a criticism.
  2. When I was confirmed we did not get additional name and those who did typically got an extra middle name since first and middle name were not suitable. People were not renamed. Same when I was made an Eucharistic minister. Maybe times have changed since 80s but I have not been active for many years.
  3. When I was working DoD I had instructions that social media sites were to be avoiding and they were scanning social media sites for posts from employees. When it was brought it up to personally (as I found out later everyone approached) I told the person that only such site I went to was TBD and they I got my job via a fellow poster on that board ($$). He brought up site and told me it seemed fine just avoid the political crap (his words) section. I was raised Roman Catholic and I never understood why popes changed their names like some criminals do for government protection and told so to my teacher and I never understood explanation given.
  4. I have been a fan of Hyde since he played with Packers and was advocating Bills sign him as free agent before he was signed. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HydeMi00.htm#defense_playoffs Hyde has a good career being in playoffs each of Packers playoff seasons starting 4 games and the in each of the playoff games for Bills having changed teams at right time. He has been healthy most of career before 2022 with 2021 being his best season. He joined Packers after their last Superbowl appearance however and one thing which might be important to him is playing in a Superbowl. Micah has generally been very healthy except for a few games when Dean Marlowe replaced him. It should be Hyde's choice, assuming his doctors agree, whether he can still play this season. All operations and recoveries are not alike. I am sure he is getting the best medical and physical therapy care. He has been working out keeping in shape, actively involved in football room and taking mental reps. Like Tre' White the Bills need to give him time on field and it is hard to ease him into lineup with every game affecting playoff seeding. He would not be playing on special teams as he has done in past which is where players with limited reps often play but Bills might be able to use him as 5th or 6th DB if they wished to ease him in without sacrificing too much.
  5. The scenario that applies: Two AFC teams have same overall record (i.e. 13-4 each) The two AFC teams have not played each other or are division foes and each won once. Both teams have same record against common conference foes (i.e. 4-1 in common foes) One of teams has more losses to AFC teams and other has more losses to NFC teams The team which lost once more to NFC team has advantage since they have more AFC wins.
  6. And went back in time and sold pilot insurance before pilot flew aircraft.
  7. Due to cost of some of the high end players I think the Bills will be using a lot of draft picks and free agents elevated for games in future. The NFL does have stratification of teams despite all Cowpokes are trying to do but I think roster stratification is something we are going to have to deal with. High priced players injured and elevated getting paid less than 1/10 of them per game taking their place.
  8. Tua Tagovailoa's Impossible Situation; Mike White's Audition: AFC East Analysis https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/tua-tagovailoas-impossible-situation-mike-whites-audition-afc-east-analysis That fish is fried Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy voluntary movements. It may cause difficulty with walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements. Ataxia usually results from damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum) or its connections. i.e. some of previous Bills QBs. Ride or die with Josh Allen We see lots of those plays in NFL especially from QBs about to be sacked but Josh Allen is one only one who can make chicken out of chickens salad. Endorsement deal: Josh's turnovers. Nahhhhhh. Mike White to return Mike White needs to find a flak jacket company to endorse for it will be talked a lot about.
  9. Smart especially at cost per minute you were spending.
  10. I can barely operate a cell phone but spreadsheets I can still do until they break the technology with "upgrades" so much I cannot do it anymore. My daughter calls me "stone age". Oh and you forgot cost of beer, liquor, etc.
  11. This may be a little more readable. Click link to see it full size. https://i.ibb.co/Qk09dgn/Superbowl-Costs.png
  12. I think they are cheap labor since Bills are close to salary cap and would rather not structure although there are a few players who will be FAs I would rather extend now.
  13. My seat was behind a girder with overhang blocking most of view when I was trying to look on either side. I would not wish that seat even on a P*ts fan.
  14. And if Vikings make the Superbowl Bills will be able to beat the only NFC team they lost to. If Bills and Vikings both make to Superbowl we will have a new team with a Superbowl trophy and a team with 5 losses who never won the Superbowl.
  15. No. Absolutely no unless I won some that I could not resell. I have been to Phoenix stadium and there are some terrible seats there from which you can barely see a portion of field. You cannot see much on monitors either. Will NFL mandate those seats not be sold? No. Wish I had kept ticket from game and could look up what that seat is charging for Superbowl.
  16. Maybe they will do a Rob Johnson move and keep the QB playing in a game which did not matter.
  17. Mitch Morse has a reputation as a good center, a leader and as a lead blocker in NFL and the better analysts know this (i.e. Baldy). Not surprised he is voted to Pro Bowl and with new rules little risk for him unless flashing lights bother him.
  18. My goddaughter/niece's husband has been working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week doing plowing for NYS which means my niece has to handle all of the child care since driving ban has prevented the grandmothers from doing usual help with watching. Despite driving bans some employers are still wanting workers to come in to work. I understand troubles that causes for I was considered essential earlier in my career and when Northern Virginia had a driving ban I asked company who pays for ticket if I am stopped and got no answer. When I asked for letter to provide to police I was not given one since officially we were not working on government site; very stupid cover letter. Due to driving ban no one could leave work with cots set up so people could sleep between shifts since many essential people could not get to work. My brother has been delivering groceries to some elderly neighbors and relatives via snowmobile. If you run out of groceries you are in trouble for very few places are open. Lookout for your neighbors. My sister works on a food warehouse distributor and barely got home before this wave of snow came in leaving work at 9 AM after driving ban started and barely was able to go home. Fortunately she bought a house near her employer. She has medical appointments and this is kind of appointment she cannot miss but she may not be able to get there and if she can there is no guarantee doctor will be available. Be careful shoveling snow. You can hurt yourself. I tore scapula in each shoulder during one storm here.
  19. If he is a genius like some claim he will be able to do it. If he is a professional GOAT Cheater who got lucky with Br*dy who was willing to follow his Sith Master to be corrupted then his GM skills will cause his team to spiral down as rats desert ship.
  20. It may be that he is a professional being paid a lot of money for this year and is trying to be active taking "mental reps". The other members of the DB team are working out and he is working out with them as much as doctors' allow. There also is a chance Bills could release him and he does not want his career to end so this is the best way to stay in shape. If his health allows he may try to join team in playoffs and the workouts may help doctors agree risk is acceptable.
  21. The Athletic is aggressive trying to get more readers and has writers who write speculative articles.
  22. McDaniels and Wilson belong together. Two dysfunctional football elements.
  23. Considering how well Bills were stocked with talent there was a good chance any late round pick might not make roster so not that risky. Only risky for those who think special teams players should all be UDFAs.
  24. He is watching old tapes of T*m Br*dy and seeing him get away with it.
