SinceThe70s

Wasn't Romo fawning over him on a telecast this year?

I'm trying to figure out the tie-in between Al inventing the internet 30 years ago and the Bills signing Frank.

I remember their first EP. At the time there were a ton of similar bands, except most weren't doing the Christian Rock thing. I liked this song: Another obscure band at the time was Icon. At the time every band needed the intro solo, none of whch lived up to Eddie Van Halen's Eruption. Good times.

You should have included pi in the calculation. We could make football as American as apple pi.

Since the departure of Wood/Glenn/Incognito the general consensus around here is that we need to upgrade the OL. We have cap space, the draft doesn't appear to be loaded with offensive lineman and the Raiders were looking to dump salary after the AB signing. Could have filled a hole before free agency and the draft. Not sure what the plan to rebuild the OL is, but this feels like a miss. I hope I'm wrong.

Whatever gets you thru the night...

How would you know? I stopped keeping up with new bands/albums somewhere around the mid to late 90's but every once a while I come across a band that came out since then that I totally missed out on. Enjoy the shows this year. I'm going to see Priest in a pretty small venue in May. Maybe Maiden too but I haven't been to an arena show since I can remember.

I'll be surprised if Alonso is on the opening day roster - whether he deserves to be or not. I'm not sure the exact number of days, but if they keep him off the MLB roster for a few weeks they gain an extra year of contract control. That's become standard operating procedure across the league and makes good business sense.

We bring Peterman back.

For whatever reason Cult of Personality never did it for me in a big way. But it was good enough to make me want to here more from them. Including the following with the great line "She looks as lovely as she's every gonna get!". Ouch.

No, you're absolutely right about that. I remember a long passage about the inner workings of a dirty A-bomb from Sum Of All Fears that was a difficult slog. I'd read a Clancy book and then need time off to read less taxing books The technical aspects of Clancy were too much for me at times, but the storylines and characters made it worth the effort for me.

When I saw the names Baldacci and Patterson it reminded me of another favorite: Nelson DeMille. He was a read-it-when-it-comes-out-when-is-the-next-one guy for a few years. Great stories, easy reads.

I haven't read a book in years. As a kid I read incessantly. And then I fell out of it for a really long time until I had an extended time working out of state with too much alone time and I read The Firm by John Grisham which was popular at the time. Great book (movie sucked), it re-ignited my interest in reading for a long time. Grisham was hit and miss for me after The Firm, but easy reads. Tom Clancy was my favorite author. Reading one of his books is definitely an investment in time, but well worth it IMO. If you had to pick one to start with, maybe Without Remorse. Central character was one of his best.

Agreed. Gettleman has said on multiple occasions that he' didn't sign OBJ just to turn around and trade him. He also committed to Eli publicly recently. Last year he tried to rebuild the OL (with so-so results) and today he traded for an OL.

Driving home from a ski weekend, a friend of a friend witnessed the drivers shirt catch fire from a stray ember. Shotgun had to put it out. It all worked out and I'm told it was pretty funny.

Newsday's David Lennon was about 2 hours late, eh? Tom Seaver, the greatest Met of all time, deserves a statue at Citi Field https://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/david-lennon/tom-seaver-dementia-1.28217121

He's the only Met that ranks among MLB's all time greats. Had a number of 20 win seasons for .500 teams. All the best to Tom Terrific and his loved ones. .

The greatest Met of all time. And whoever is second isn't even close. I had the good fortune of seeing him a couple of times at Shea and countless times on WOR with Ralph, Lindsey and Murph. The report I heard is he is retiring from public life. From a strictly selfish standpoint I'd love to give him one last standing O.

Just saw this before checking in here a few minutes ago: https://nypost.com/2019/03/05/kyler-murray-backlash-arrives-worst-reports-execs-ever-heard/

Nationals ace Scherzer shuns DH, decides to bat "He's real big into the whole game, not just the pitching portion," Martinez said.

Yeah, I think you're right. Comedy Central was ready to pay him but it didn't work out.

LOL. I was joking about you not acknowledging the ladies on the board. It's amazing how a well intentioned thread can take a bad turn.

I assume most posters on this board are a he. Perhaps that's a bad assumption on my part. Did you notice that I questioned my own assumption "(he is a he, right?)". Perhaps you missed that.
