  1. The grass is always greener on the other side. Until you actually get to the other side.
  2. Never listen to him. About the only thing I listen to is Mad Dog, and that's because it happens to be on when I'm driving home, and because it's entertaining to listen to him rant (not that his rants make any sense for the most part). Just win baby.
  3. Quite a few: Marangi over Fergy Loved the trade for Sammy Watkins Supported draft Manuel Wanted Rosen over Josh
  4. The hardest thing in sports is to predict who will or will not work out as a HC/manager. The required skill set is different than that needed for an assistant coach or coordinator.
  5. You are being ridiculous at this point.
  6. The quote about Marino and Allen is just silly. Moon and Kelly come to mind, both HOFers. If you’re going to be silly better not to comment.
  7. Is anything I said incorrect regarding what we added?
  8. Davis was hurt a lot of the season. I anticipate a much better year.
  9. Our first two draft picks addressed offense. Best receiving TE in the draft to give Josh another weapon, big guy for the middle of the O line where we were vulnerable last year. Plus two other Guards in free agency and competition for Brown at RT. A bigger RB to complement what we have in the backfield. But we did nothing on offense. Right.
  10. They drafted the best receiving TE in the draft.
  11. One way to handle it - have Von and Floyd find him, pin his ass to a wall, and tell him if he doesn't get his act together they will kick the tar out of him.
  12. With McD calling the D signals this coming season, what do you think will look different over Frazier calling the shots? I think we’ll see our corners playing up on WRs more to keep them from getting into their routes. And I think we’ll see a lot more stunts up front to free up the pass rush.
  13. He’s a solid DT with flashes of greatness. Glad we’re keeping him around.
  14. Well done Bandits! My nieces took us to a playoff game last year when we were in town. Loved the action; I’d get season’s in a heartbeat if I still lived in town.
  15. And Tucker gets clicks now. Just like he planned it.
  16. I think he had long Covid. And if so that affects a lot of his physical activity.
  17. Forget just football. He may be the GOAT for sports in general. Watching him when I was a kid was something special.
  18. Taxi Cheers Mary Tyler Moore Show Barney Miller
  19. He belongs but he quit on Ralph twice. So it’s never going to happen.
  20. The Wall has always included both in filed and off field. OJ was so good on field the off field did not take him off. I understand the desire for many to have him removed.
  21. Bills: Tasker obviously, Ruben Brown, and from the glory days Saimes. Others: Otis Taylor
  22. I don’t use the labels you use because the issue is not binary; it is more complex. I am not for abortion as a means of convenient birth control. I am for more readily available contraception and education of our youth on the seriousness of entering into sexual relationships and the use of contraceptives. I am for making adoption laws more uniform such that it is a more reasonable option for those with unintended pregnancies (although adopted kids can then have issues which are largely ignored). I do not endorse termination up to birth, certainly not once viability outside the uterus is possible. I endorse that medical decisions be made by a patient and physician without interference. I’ll end my contribution here.
  23. Different opinions, yes. But they don’t have expertise in my area. Just like I can have an opinion on a question in physics but it would not be as informed as a physicist’s. And why I would defer to him if her. My view on when human life begins? It is a philosophical question. Because we are eutherian mammals I think a logical place to start considering the question us implantation. But because twinning can occur until the primitive streak stage a unique entity doesn’t really occur till then. Then you get into when formation of maternal/fetal circulation is established, neural activity, ability to exist outside the mother, and so on. I take the view that it is a continuum. As I have described there is no defined moment of conception. A real problem with society today is the refusal to accept facts and to have them help form opinion.
