Colts grant Jonathan Taylor’s request to seek trade
PetermansRedemption replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
If I’m Arizona I’m keeping my draft picks like the gold that they are. That team could go 0-17 this season. -
Good point. It certainly is difficult to replicate the TMSC production. They really need to get those plants up and running. From what I’ve read they aren’t very happy with the quality of workers (undisciplined) that they are finding here. edit: I also wonder if TMSC has a sabotage plan to destroy the plant if it looks like it will be overran by Chinese forces.

Is it though? I feel it’s more a detriment to national security in that we may have to defend an island that is borderline indefensible.

Definitely a boring season. I went in with an open mind, but I can barely make it through 20 minutes before taking a break. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Saleh as a coach. He just is not that good or motivational. Dan Campbell from last season was a much better people person type of coach. That being said, the Jets could be some competition this year. Their O-line and immobile QB will bring them down IMO. Not a very good combination. Outside of those positions, they have a solid roster.

Only turn it on for Monday night football. Not even a thought the other 350 or so days of the year. -

OT: High school football officiating shortage
PetermansRedemption replied to Sammy Watkins' Rib's topic in The Stadium Wall
Many, many years. In the Buffalo area, it takes about 2 years to be a regular high school official, 4-5 years to be a varsity high school official. After being a varsity level official you can apply to D3. After a few years cutting your teeth at D3 you can apply for a D1 position. But you need to have a lot of good tape and references to be considered at that level. It’s hard to make a D1 conference, it’s basically impossible to make the NFL. You have a better chance of winning the lottery. -
OT: High school football officiating shortage
PetermansRedemption replied to Sammy Watkins' Rib's topic in The Stadium Wall
I officiated for 7-ish years in the Buffalo area. Also did D3 college for a year. I enjoyed the officiating aspect. I plan to go back someday. It’s either an old man’s game or a young man’s game. I used to wonder why the average age of officials is so high. After having a family, you realize it really isn’t compatible. It’s a huge time commitment. You either have to do it while your kids are older, or while you don’t have kids. As others have said, if you can’t put up with abuse, this isn’t for you. I was former military and have thick skin to verbal abuse, so it was no problem for me. The worst abuse is at the little league level, as you go higher, the fans get farther away and the coaches actually get paid, so they don’t want to be ejected. The pay is not good, oftentimes can be comparable to minimum wage after factoring in gas. You get $60-$90 for a high school game. You arrive 1.5 hours early to have a pregame and the game lasts 2-2.5 hours. So you’re talking about $15 an hour not even including the gas cost. As someone else said, we didn’t get mileage. You get paid the same wether you are commuting 5 minutes or 45 minutes. I’ll end by rant by answering your initial question. Yes, Buffalo has a shortage like the rest of the country. But it is not as bad as many other places have it. -
Alvin Kamara suspended 3 games by the league.
PetermansRedemption replied to Gregg's topic in The Stadium Wall
I actually feel like this will increase his ADP. His ADP was pretty suppressed to this point. I feel that was with fantasy players pricing in a 6 game suspension. 3 games feels pretty light and makes me regret not grabbing him in multiple best ball leagues. -
Àug 12 pre season game against the Colts ?????????????
PetermansRedemption replied to AuntieEm's topic in The Stadium Wall
ABC used to broadcast the preseason games, but they switched to CBS. I thought the switch went into effect last pre-season. -
