You think you're a groove, Standing there in your wallpaper shoes And your socks that match your eyes. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.

Mama, mama, please no more jaguars I don't want to be a pop star Mama, mama, please no more deckhands I don't wanna be a sailor man Mama, mama, please no more facelifts I just don't know which one you is Mama, mama, please no more husbands I don't know who my daddy is.

But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died

Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Though neither of them are to be what they claim If you're lookin' to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops, they don't need you And man, they expect the same.

Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about everything

Gone too soon. We lost Rory 30 years ago today.

Actually, I thought I did. Must have forgot the link. That's how it was being reported on multiple sites yesterday. I was going by the quote below that was reported on numerous sites. Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared some insight on the disconnect between Stewart's camp and the Bengals. "It is my understanding they're offering the same language in this clause as the majority of first-round contracts," Dehner tweeted on Thursday. "And, for reference, have offered the exact language of the pick before (Walter Nolen) and after (Grey Zabel). It's different than that of Murphy and Mims the last two years and the Bengals generally structure contracts differently than most teams with guarantees, which matters. But the language being proposed for this specific clause is common across the NFL." Now it appears that Stewart's agency denies that it's the same. So, as usual, media reporting is a jumbled mess. But the idea and practice of such language is certainly nothing new. Many teams use it. Here's the latest from SI- https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/watch-cincinnati-bengals-rookie-shemar-stewart-sounds-off-on-contract-talks-with-team-01jxdmmbep85 Stewart's agency shot this down by replying to Dehner. "Hi Paul - feel free to message us if you'd like accurate information. Thanks!" they tweeted.

The language he's fighting against is exactly the same as the contracts signed by the players drafted ahead of him and behind him. Not sure how that would make him a Guinea pig.

The article and the way it's presented are misleading. There are players all over the league who have to deal with this clause. The majority of teams include it as a blanket policy in all their contracts - all of them. It seems Stewart's issue (or his agent's) is that the language wasn't included in the other Bengals first round picks. Whether that's a sound argument or not, I don't really know and it's not for me to decide. I certainly have no love for the Bengals or their management. But people shouldn't get the idea this is the Bengals trying to institute a policy on a player that's never been done before. It happens all the time. Many current players have such a clause. Comments saying the Bengals are trying to set a precedent (and there are many, in news articles across the board) don't mean a league-wide precedent. It's just a team-wide thing they have apparently never done before. Lots of teams have done it for years. One example from last year; Detroit's Jameson Williams' original 4-year contract, like many first-rounders, was fully guaranteed. He's still on the team, but due to his suspension in 2022, his contract and his option bonuses from 2023-2025 are no longer guaranteed.

No. It's two points.

It's actually come close to happening in the NFL a couple times. Interestingly, it's happened in college at least twice, and the same announcer was calling both games even though they were about ten years apart.

You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall You got to move there's no time left to stall They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call And when she leaves she leaves nothing at all

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein Awhooooo! Werewolves of London Awhooooo!

Okay it's been over a year since my last shameless bump, LOL. I can finally say the sequel to Deadly Possession is on the horizon. I hope to be able to announce a release date soon. Meanwhile, there's still time to read the first book. Y'all don't want to be bass ackwards do you? Peace and love. 💖 I'll be back when the next one is up and running. And thanks again to those who purchased DP. I hope you liked it.😁 https://mybook.to/DeadlyPossession

Beating the Cowboys was the only good thing that happened that year. But it was awesome. And now, the rest of the story - In 1983, like many, I moved to Austin, Tx at the ripe old age of 20, with no particular life plan. But the small city was booming and jobs were plenty. While it was always good-natured fun, me and a couple others from up here in New York took a lot of ribbing at work. Now I grew up in Genesee County where we have more cows than people. But when the guys at work heard "New York," they were all convinced I grew up playing stickball in the streets using stolen hubcaps for bases. Never mind that I was the only person who worked there - including the born and bred Texans - who had ever actually been on a horse. One of my friends finally admitted, "Y'all are more country than anybody around here." Anyway, back to football. These die-hard Texas city slickers used to always say anybody from north of Waco was a Yankee. Funny thing though, back then the Cowboys had a good team and the Houston Oilers really sucked. So all of a sudden, every Sunday Dallas magically became part of Texas again. Without the modern-day choices, football meant regional coverage. So every week consisted of a Cowboys game and an Oilers game - and the game against the Cowboys was the only Bills game we'd get to see all year. Naturally since we were all young and single, on the day the Bills played the Cowpokes we had to have a big party at somebody's house. And oh, how they told me over and over it was going to be a blowout. Fast forward to Greg Bell taking it to the house on play number one and it was an oh so glorious day in Austin as the Goat Ropers went down in flames. Good times I remember.

Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll So I hit the road and made my getaway Restless feeling really got a hold I started searching for a better way And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night But I couldn't see the light No, I couldn't see the light I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night Couldn't get it right I couldn't get it right

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me Set out runnin' but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight Just might get some sleep tonight

Then a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band It ain't what they call rock and roll And the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole Creole

Don't you remember, you told me you loved me, baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby I love you, I really do
