  1. We lived in Hampton at that time. My wife taught at rival Bethel High (Allen Iverson alma mater). Watched Ronald play football. Still can’t believe he didn’t become a superstar. Was absolutely incredible. I think he scored 8 tds in a game I watched. Was a man amongst boys at a pretty good level of competition.
  2. RIP Shawn and keep the cheering coming! You’re still mafia up there.
  3. Yes, but a win would have pushed the ball a little left through the uprights and we’d be celebrating Norwood day every year.
  4. I would guess it is not a hands issue but a concentration issue. He’s making the ridiculously hard catches so I don’t think it’s hands. He missed the crazy easy catch. Probably thinking ahead too much because he saw it as easy; literally taking the eye off the ball.
  5. Probably also a little revenge. If I remember correctly, Settle launched Nelson backwards during our preseason game against them last year. Had me hopeful he was going to be a real force.
  6. I couldn’t agree more (wink, wink). All opposing D coordinators should hang on every pearl of wisdom this genius puts out there.
  7. Here are my thoughts. These and a cup of coffee will get you a cup of coffee. I also don’t profess to watch “film”. That said, and disclaimers over, I think Ed is a very talented DT. The best in the league? Probably not. Hasn’t shown it yet. But this contract isn’t for the best. A tweet earlier said it was for 16th best which will quickly become 18th best. Then 20th best as more get their extensions. That starts to feel right. Add on to that (and here I’m really using my gut feelings or gas; still haven’t decided) that Ed is likely viewed as our most talented DT and he likely gets the attention commensurate with that from opposing O lines. Now you would hope that he could transcend that attention on a more regular basis like a Chris Jones. They must feel he has the ability to up his game coupled with him being paid as an almost great player which he qualifies for. Let’s hope he transitions to all pro great and out performs the contract. But for now, getting paid as the 16th best DT isn’t a travesty, it’s just sticker shock.
  8. I see this as obvious bait. Ross knows this rabid, angst ridden fan base too well. Good way to generate buzz from this nest of bees. Is it fair to say he’s had questionable moments and needs to improve? Yes. He’s certainly not perfect. Do we need to continue to advance toward getting to and winning the Super Bowl? Absolutely! But am I going to rate a guy who took a multi-decade, laughing stock of the NFL franchise and has them at 62-35 (64% win record) with multiple playoff appearances and is currently rated as one of the couple teams with a legit shot to win the Super Bowl and say he’s one of the bottom third coaches in the NFL? Please…
  9. I think this depends on what you mean by second favorite team. I lived in Wisconsin for several years and attended several Packer games at Lambeau. I consider the Packers my second team and would root for them if they were playing somebody besides the Bills unless it were going to hurt playoff ranking or something. That said, I don’t root for them on anywhere near the same level as the Bills. And if they play us, especially in a Super Bowl, there would not be one ounce of me that wanted them to win. So second team, yes. But second team on the same level as your number one, “die hard” team, not a chance. I watched a game at the Cheerful Bullpen a couple of years ago. Good time and good crowd. Enjoyed it! 👍

  11. I’d take the yacht and just be glad it was only shirtless 😬

    Yolo update

    Good news! The off-season hasn’t been quite the same so glad to hear you’ll be back (although I agree that the Major has been busting his backside to fill in). Hope all ends up well on the home front. 👍
