Yeah, that usually produces a "gift."

Can you help my daughter perform the anthem?
WhoTom replied to oldmanfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True. I have seen the village and I do NOT want it raising my child. ? To the OP, Kim Pegula is on Twitter. Have your daughter follow her and send her a direct message with a link to her performance. -
I don't think you got the jokke.

C'mon. Next you'll tell me that a coal industry lobbyist is the head of the EPA. -
Bill's interested in working out Brandon Oliver.
WhoTom replied to sunshynman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was 27 when he was born. I remember my elder colleagues referring to me as a kid; I had no problem with that. Young enough to be my child (or grandchild) = kid. It's not an insult. -
I agree with you. THE OP's point was that a lack of a run game would somehow force us to become a passing offense. I was arguing that without a credible running threat, the passing game doesn't work.

You run to set up the passing game. (Sorry for the tired cliche.)

Patricia Richardson as the MILFY Jill Taylor. Hotter than Heidi the tool girl, in my opinion. -
If you could go back in time to high school

In "the Yogi Book," Yogi Berra explained his quote, "When you get to the fork in the road, take it." He had just moved to a new house and an old friend was coming to visit. Yogi game him directions, including that famous line. The guy made it to his house, so Yogi figured the directions must have been good. I'm happy with my life right now. Had I taken a different turn when I encountered any of the forks in my past roads, who knows where I might have ended up? Like Yogi, I figure that if you're happy with where you are in life, then whatever road brought you there must have been a good one. (Assuming, of course, that you didn't cause any fatalities or otherwise ruin someone's life.) That's not to say I didn't make mistakes. I did all kinds of stupid things that I'm embarrassed about now. But I learned from them and grew as a person. Undoing a past mistake would be the same as skipping an important life lesson. -
Nature is my cathedral. Set me outside with trees rustling, birds chirping, and a body of water nearby, and I'm at peace. I also find that playing guitar, even though I'm not very good at it, is as close to meditation as I've ever been able to achieve. I was raised Catholic, including ten years of Catholic school (K-9). I left the church shortly after college and explored Eastern philosophies for a while. I don't believe in reincarnation or Nirvana or any of the spiritual stuff, but the teachings of Siddhartha ("The Buddha") - the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the emphasis on balance - resonate with me. Of course, the teachings of Jesus - kindness, compassion, generosity - are equally good. I wish more people who identified as "Christians" would actually exhibit those behaviors. (Many do, but not the ones who scream the loudest about it.)

When Madden was on MNF, he was talking about a player who graduated from college with a 4.4 GPA. (4.0 is a perfect GPA.) He said the kid took graduate classes as an undergrad, so that's the reason for the extra points. I was dying for him to say, "He LITERALLY gave 110%" but alas, math is not Madden's strong suit.

That reminded me of Chris "I'll never be your beast of" Berman. -

"Cookie" is a nickname. "Carlton Chester Gilchrist" didn't sound all that cool, I guess. -

But first, I'm gonna ask my buddy Ken Ham to verify its authenticity. -
Buffalo 66 is twenty years old this week
WhoTom replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's a low-budget film and they didn't want to pay NFL royalties, so there's no mention of the Bills by name. There are many references to the professional football team from Buffalo, including footage of actual games shown on TV. (I'm not sure how they did that without paying royalties.) The protagonist's parents are die-hard Bills fans; they care more about the team than their own son. It's actually a pretty dark film with moments of hilarity. To me, it has a David Lynch feel to it. -
