That's No Moon

Not necessarily. If there were other executives, or even underlings who got wind of this and were pissed all it takes is a call to good ol' Timmah to get the media poop storm started.

Sounds more like some people at New Era weren't pleased to have Russ on board.

Every word was true. Good times.

True story. I lived with a kid named Matt in college, actually there were 2 Matts in the hall. One night he gets ripped and pees on another kid's bed. Not in it, on it, hosed it down. Like he's standing at the urinal. The owner of the bed was a kid named Josh. There were also two Joshes. This one was about 6'4 265lbs and worked as a bouncer in the evenings. He was known as Angry Josh so as to differentiate between them (the other Josh was Dirty Josh but that's a different story). So anyway Matt drunkenly pees on Angry Josh's bed when Angry Josh was at work. Angry Josh comes home at like 3am and goes completely apeshit. Matt is hiding behind his locked door while the rest of us are laughing our balls off. The next day we hung little signs all over the building that read "Do not pee here" and henceforth Matt was known as Wet Matt. So yes, Wet Matts can indeed strike at any time or any place!

Furthest I ever went by train was Wilmington DE to New London, CT. It took something like 5.5 hours. I came home on the overnight to avoid a snowstorm and the train sat in Penn Station in New York for an hour and a half just because it was how the train was scheduled. That was somewhat frustrating though I was able to sleep. They tell you you can't lay across the seats but if the train is empty, like mine was at 3am, they didn't seem to care. One the plus It was quicker than driving (on the way up at least), and I was able to work on the train. Taking the train in the NE Corridor is very convenient and makes a lot of sense. Long train travel? Not so much. For example, it takes me about 6.5 hours to drive to Buffalo and a total of 3.5-4 hours to fly including driving to the airport and getting through security. Any idea how long a train ride that is? It's 12-16 hours depending on which trains you take and you have to get yourself (and your bags) from Penn Station to Grand Central to change trains during your multiple hour layover in NYC. 69 hours in a seat is an awfully long time and good for you for doing it but it's not worth the difference in price for me. If you flew out of Buffalo rather than Rochester the price is between $430 and $600 round trip depending on exactly which flight you take, which day you travel, etc. and you'd be there in 7-8 hours not including the hour drive to BUF. Flying out of Rochester makes the flight over $800 roundtrip. Make sure you get up and walk around the train every couple hours. DVTs are no joke. Also, you'd be shocked at how often trains hit things. Cars, animals, people, etc. My wife's uncle used to do counseling for Amtrak engineers and he'd constantly have stories of what the trains had hit recently. We'd jokingly call hit Sir Topham Hatt's Calamitous Railway because I think the only railway that hit more things than Amtrak is on the Island of Sodor.

I forgot how much I hated Haywood Jeffires

I think this could significantly change if not ruin the game because it gives the officials yet another way to hand out yards and first downs, or nullify them, on essentially every snap of the game. College football refs get it right sometimes and get it very very wrong other times. NFL refs are no better. More judgment calls made in real time by people who are unable to seE a replay or who are out of position to make the initial call in the first place will lead to errors. It's going to become that a big hit is a penalty whether it's head contact or not. That is basically where college is now, particularly in the secondary. They have the benefit of replay and they STILL get it wrong. Teams would be very smart to attack the intermwdiate and deep middle of the field with large bodied players. It is almost impossible to guard the way the rules have evolved. Opi is basically legal, dpi is called very close, defensive holding is an automatic first down, you already couldnt hit a "defenseless" player and now you really can't attack the receiver at all. Get someone shaped like Gronk and throw it there. All you can do is try to knock the pass away.

They'll keep letting everyone and their emu inside the plane until someone decides to put a bomb in one or makes a service animal suicide vest. Then it will become an issue. I'll bet there are already a bunch that are drug mules (no pun intended - but picturing a service mule gave me a chuckle)

Good policy and solid to tie it to food safety. Interested to see the cell phone video from when they try to enforce it though.

Allen should hit the hospitality tent on purpose once just to enjoy the scene it creates. Actually, what would be better would be if the horribly uncreative people at PSE would realize this is a thing and make a game of it with all 3 QBs trying to hit a bulls-eye on the tent. Have each QB throwing for a fan and whoever hits the bulls-eye wins a prize for their fan.

What if they were Ostrogoths? Uhm, yeah. That probably would have been the GTFO moment for me and if I were the Dad I'd call my sister and ask WTF is up with your kid and why didn't you teach them any reasonable manners. I'm going to a hockey tournament in February that's 20 minutes from my sister's house over a long weekend. We are staying in a hotel and it never crossed my mind to crash at her house for 3 days let alone doing it without asking her. Your parents should swing through Iowa sometime randomly and just show up. Of course, that means going to Iowa which is a punishment unto itself. They were out of folding tables for weeks.

He can definitely throw it over those mountains. Video of his private workout in Wyoming.

Actually, we haven't. We've seen Tyrod that did that hence the recency bias but we have had plenty of QBs who threw INTs and fumbled the ball a lot. We've also had tons of QBs who 3 and out the offense deep in our own territory repeatedly which puts the defense in a hole all game long. FWIW, if that's your goal for the offense coming into the year then it leads directly into #2 and #3 of what I said. We're going to struggle to score points, especially early in the season.

Yes

1. That's a pretty big caveat. 2. There are going to be a lot of games where 14 points is going to look like a lot. 3. They still might win because Baltimore is awful but it will be one of those hideous 9-6 type things. Take the under and run away laughing.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a Patriot draft pick who washed out there and went on to great success somewhere else. When they've decided you can't play they are usually correct.

Yes, the current model of screwing the service providers with race to the bottom pricing which then encourages them to screw the customers while providing no customer service is much better. They had Uber before, they were called Gypsy cabs.

Jerry Garcia. ?

You have no idea how many do or don't but that comment fits your narrative so have at it. Ask yourself, before this topic came up how much time had you personally spent contemplating police treatment of minorities. Probably close to zero. If that number is now greater than the original number, even if your opinion has not been changed, the protest was effective.

and I'm equally doubting that more than 0.5% of the people who walked by would recognize him if they did.
