49ers (with an asterisk....I had to google to confirm)

Come in with the sunrise, gone with the wind Devil in your eyes, pocket full of sin Fire can't melt you when your mind's made up Ice can't cool you, naughty little pup

And there were so many fewer questions When stars were still just the holes to heaven

Have you heard the news? (What news? Oo-whatta-news!) Can't afford no shoes

Get off my back you monkey Ya got my nerves jumping like a junkie today Poison ivy ya come creepin up right behind me You make me itch baby you're so unkind

And I thought, "This is a dangerous place" once again, you know Who should appear but two policemen Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet (unscrambled "Thela Hun Ginjeet" is "In The Jungle")

When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah-yeah-yeah, hallowed be thy name

Drew Brees

The bolded appears oxymoronic to me. I claim to be an optimist too and I see all the warts that are on display, but an optimist could easily envision wins against the Broncos, Jets, Pats, Dolphins, Chargers and either Chiefs, Eagles or Cowboys. An optimist could envision an improved offense and defense that are playing their best football late season - as opposed to the poor football we've seen lately. I have seen many optimists, but with all due respect you sir are not that. P.S. - optimistic me has a hard time seeing this team making a deep playoff run.

It's a common reaction that makes an attraction Whenever it's cold

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness

Rudy Manti Te'o

Actually, Cohen inherited Rojas - but this does feel like the same type of hire. My son asked a friend who is a Yankee fan what he thought of Mendoza and his answer was "who?" Didn't even know it was the Yankees bench coach.

Actually Counsell went to Chicago. I don't really care that the Mets 'missed out' on him, but the other names I heard weren't inspiring. Case in point: Carlos Mendoza. I don't like the fact that he was the Yankees bench coach and as far as I know he's never managed so he steps up the plate with two strikes. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and also hope he's not a puppet.

Dallas Cowboys

Gotta get this thread back on track, love this stuff. No clue where the Mad Bomber played in college but his career started with: Buffalo Bills

I have many issues - starting with the Isles blowing a 3-1 lead to a team that always has our number.

She was mighty mighty.... (sorry lyrical response diversion )

Another option would be to get a job that pays minimum or better and not rely on the tipping practices of the general public. Or perhaps the companies profiting from their aggrieved employees could increase cost of product and by extension employee wages/benefits. The former seems like a better strategy.

WRT the bolded - in-person tipping ahead of service can be classy and effective in person. Saw that first hand many years ago at a crowded comedy club when a friend insisted we tip the server up front (also tipped when we closed out). Server took care of us and we took care of her. Tipping ahead of time for delivery is not the traditional sense IMO - and stupid and entitled..

Yamma hamma, how much wind? I never experienced -25F. I don't think I have the gear for that. And if there was any wind fuhgeddaboudit - I'd be seeing rainbows, unicorns and who knows what else

'Tipping at your peril', lol. I'm a 20%+ tipper when I go out (I don't do delivery) but tipping at my peril sounds entitled. If it's an expectation make it part of the price, not discretionary.

Pretty sure the Bills usually defer and I've read that the Bengals like to receive. If so, given the choice I wouldn't receive just to keep the Bengals from getting what they want - go out and make a stop on the first possession

Absolutely, and one of the most annoying things is listening to Al Michaels announce a game. Not sure if he's still doing it but after pretty much every play he'd announce whether there was a flag or not. I don't think any team gets more or less calls than another (although I'd make an exception for Brady's Pats), it's just constant and also inconsistent for everyone.
