    I think he can sign with the Bills if he can submit McDermott in a grappling match.  Even though he outweighs McDermott by 150 lbs....I'll still take McDermott.

    Ya. I'll bet on the National Prep School champion every time.

     

    It won't be who wins the grapple, it would be how many seconds before McDermott pins him.

    New stats:

     

    CentOS 6 -> CentOS 7

    32 GB RAM -> 64 GB Ram

    Intel 1270 v3 -> E-2236

    SSD RAID 10 -> single NVMe with daily company backup services

    Latest stable versions of php, mysql and Nginx 

     

    The hope is all of that should really improve capacity when traffic is heavy. 

    Impressive. It's a Ferrari.

  3. Syndicated sports writers write for ratings. This is a prime example as the Dallas fan base is Top-3 league wide.

     

    This particular writer shows special adherence to discipline rating Buffalo 23rd.. because amazingly that's what Buffalo draws in ratings.

     

    Sleep well my friend, because the Bills are a Top 10 team and will surprise most of the national media.

    "The lewd outtakes were what Larry Michael, then the team’s lead broadcaster and a senior vice president, referred to as “the good bits” or “the good parts,” according to Brad Baker, a former member of Michael’s staff. Baker said in an interview that he was present when Michael told staffers to make the video for team owner Daniel Snyder."

     

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/08/26/daniel-snyder-nfl-washington/

     

    "This is what the NFL gets for not scraping Daniel Snyder off its shoe before now. “The good bits” is the phrase that will haunt the league. That’s the description of the soft porn videos of cheerleaders; outtakes of nipples and crotches inadvertently exposed and intentionally collected, allegedly for the enjoyment of some of the juvy little pervs in the Washington football club’s upper management."

    ..for.. Daniel Snyder will be the key here.

     

    Is it for Daniel Snyder because he asked for it. Or was if for Daniel Snyder as a gag gift or otherwise, from the staff.

     

    I could see Snyder claiming innocence and getting away with it. Let's face it, there's is different justice for monied people.. like when Robert Kraft got that video evidence thrown out.

  5. I wouldn't lock into a contract, just in case it technically falls apart on you. Maybe CBS is month to month..

     

    I know my VPN is spotty with streaming services. Sometimes it works, sometimes you want to pull your hair out.

     

    Also.. I suspect VPN IP addresses are known to security professionals and are blocked. I know I can't online bank through the VPN, I have to shut it down before the bank allows me to connect (yes, that kind of defeats the reason to have a VPN, oui?). Maybe CBS blocks VPNs.

    I love my beer and I drink good beer any chance I can, no matter time of day, quantity etc....

     

    That being said, I tend to be always relatively in control and can hang for hours.  Sure I get buzzed.  Lately I notice, people hanging with me get sloppy really quickly, slurring speech, repeating stories, acting out of control etc...  

     

    I'm mid-upper 50's and I NEVER get to this point.  I don't slow down drinking, usually.  I just think I have something inside that self regulates me to avoid going that far.

     

    I love my wide circle of friends but sometimes I really just can't take it.  

     

    Am I immune to the effects of alcohol, do I just have more self control than I think I have?  It's kinda frustrating because I want to continue to hang out, but sometimes it's just too much for me.

     

    EiL, I don't need a lecture.  I'm just kinda trying to figure it out.  I figure this group is a lot cheaper than a therapist that's going to charge me to tell me what I already know: I need to lose weight and cut back on drinking

    You obviously control yourself better than the average Joe, that's a characteristic of an alcoholic.

     

    This is an important point to realize: even though your still in control, you are also still drunk -- you are not immune to alcohol.

     

    Study after study after study have show people to be impaired at 1% BAC, no matter how they feel or how confident they are. So please be careful with the driving decisions.

  7. Of course gymnasts, race car drivers, world class sailors, etc. are all mentally taxing.

     

    But the context of your question, Tom Brady learning the playbook, leads to a different question: Is quarterback the most scholarly and reactive positions in professional sports?

     

    I should say yes. Mastering the 500 page playbook, and being able to apply that knowledge in micro-seconds under pressure  before and after the snap is unique in sports.

    Costas is right.  With the amount of NFL players that, despite being athletes, would be considered obese by medical standards, they are taking a huge risk opting in to the NFL season.  

    Not necessarily. There is a world of difference between an Ordinary Obese person and an Obese Professional Athlete.

     

    1 difference comes to mind: even Obese Professional Athletes are in superb cardio conditioning.

    good idea, but the concept no doubt has to be run thru the desk of cerebral giant KIm Pegula so I would expect a tweak of sorts; like collections of drawings from 5th graders....

    Don't be jealous.

     

    You have just as much a chance to marry money as Kim had. Oprah is looking for a beau.
