Chiefs 12th man in the striped shirt

It was great, but I doubt they still have street vendors. If they were there, I would probably try it.

Too late for your trip, but I got a great cheese steak from a street vendor. It was 30 years ago, so I don’t know if that is still possible.

@muppy I love shopping at Aldi. It feels like a community. I don’t have any here in Tucson, but they say it it is coming soon. I like the occasional German food items, plus the great cookies and chocolate bars.

There are apps like Babbel which can teach you another language. Since you have time to prepare, you can do it at your leisure. It is nice to know a few phrases when you travel. I am eager to travel in Europe again, maybe in 26 or 27.

Their agents.

Brandon Beane’s refusal to draft a speedy wide receiver! Why would you need one or two of those? Hey look, I can trade down and get more quantity. Like Dewayne Carter. Wonderful. Have you ever watched Xavier Worthy play the game? Was he naughty in college? You will get to watch him soon - very likely shredding your complicated defense.

The last few years, Bills were a lot of FUN to watch. This year they are quite painful for many Bills fans to watch. Opponents are likely glad to play us now, a chance to use your run game. If they lose to Carolina (who pummeled and shut out Atlanta a few weeks ago) it is going be an ugly season of misery and mock drafts. Identity? The Invisible Men

Yes, this overpayment (aka keeping your own guys) is the kind of "loyalty" that is killing this team. Continuity? Of what? Continuous mediocre defense? I'm afraid Terry Pegula uses that same "loyalty" concept to avoid the distasteful process of firing a coach or GM. Like @muppy said in another post, it's like a "cheaper to keep her" marriage where you just don't want to make the change because change is so... icky. Thank you, @Virgil for your coherent thoughts at a depressing time like this.

Who is that senior defensive assistant I have heard about? Holcomb? Maybe he could take over at DC.

Why is Beane so opposed to drafting a speedy receiver? The Worthy trade keeps popping up as the dude wins games. Other speed WRs have been bypassed as well. Beane is continually outsmarting himself, thinking he knows it all. I used to be a Beane fan, but not any more.

McDermott's "complicated" defense sure allows a lot of points. So what is the point of being so difficult to learn?

OK, how about NOW? Is panic an acceptable response now?

Pegula, like many other people, lives his life based on fear. It's very sad to see.

No. Pegula's "loyalty" won't allow any major changes. Too fearful of change.

Room has become a “turn off the sound” announcer. I can figure out what is happening by watching the players play.

Yes, I think that is called “outsmarting yourself”. Beane seems to do that a lot.

Flag “football”

Last Thursday, the NFL channel replayed the game shortly after it ended. But it is one play after the next, no chit chat. Replay is at 1245 AM EDT Friday.

I loved John Candy. Some great movies, like Stripes, Planes Trains etc. But my favorite role was as The Schmenge Brothers, where they introduce themselves, each pronouncing Schmenge in a different way. Subtle humor, but it really got me. Yosh and Stan - Rick Moranis the other Schmenge bro, IIRC. That was on SCTV, and then a final movie The Last Polka.

The Office was very well done, as Steve Carrell's character Michael Scott would seem impossible to replicate. I am sure psychology grad students could do a thesis on the complex dysfunctionalities in The Office. Of course, Dwight and Andy Bernard were nearly as f**ked up as Michael. I do not have Peacock, but I would not expect much from an Office wannabe. A shoutout here to our posters @Dr Krentist and the guy with the Prison Mike avatar.

What kind of degree do you have? What sort of useful skills and experience could transfer to a new industry? This will help folks make suggestions for new roles. Best wishes in your career change endeavor.

Ugliest thing since the Bengals white uniforms. GTFO

I like WR Deon Cain, but I did not see any of the PS games. Did Cain get any playing time?

How many of our 2025 draft picks got NIL money in college? Is it just for stars or is it more widespread than that?
