  1. Oh no you don't Sam, we beat you fair and square--don't try to say it was your own feeble arm that couldn't get past 4.3 YPA!
  2. WW2 was a tragedy on a scale incomprehensible for those of us who did not live through it, and probably also for those that did, actually. And back then they did not have even a PTSD diagnosis with any treatment options--the soldiers/civilians on all sides were expected to do their duty, and go back to "regular" life afterwards as if it never happened? Unreal.
  3. He spent his entire military career in the East from '41 on through the end of the war, then eventually escaped from a Soviet POW camp in '46. That probably saved his life, to be frank. Most in that situation did not ever see home again. Mother's side grandfather--was on both major fronts, ended the war in an American POW camp, was repatriated after about a year. He eventually became a US citizen in the 70's, as well as best friends with some former GI's, which was cool for me to see as a youngster.
  4. Such a sobering and tragic day--will never forget watching live the confused, chaotic TV coverage unfolding that day--the History channel does a good job of presenting that each year. A marking moment for my generation, no doubt on par with other significant national events such as Pearl Harbor, Kennedy assassination, etc.
  5. My parents are polar opposites, but I get along with both, just in different ways. My mom is basically a saint, has been my entire life, and I owe her the world basically in terms of what she's put up with in successfully raising 5 children, while maintaining her constant good cheer. My father who grew up in the difficult days of wartime and then post-war Germany (my grandfather was an ex-soldier who believed that he had to raise his own son in such a way as to steel him mentally against the horrors of any future war--he later was on record as saying he regretted how tough he was on my father), learned to never openly show loving emotion, and to this day still cannot bring himself to say the "L" word to any of us grown kids. That said, he was always the hard-working provider and man of good deeds, which is how he showed us that he loved us, and we've accepted that's just his way, as we've grown older. For the past decade, he's rented a house in Myrtle Beach each summer for the entire extended family to meet up at and have a reunion of sorts for a week at a time, and that's become a treasured tradition. With my own kids, I have to tell them daily that I love them, until they tell me enough already!
  6. TBN paywall crack security is leakier than my pasta colander, to the possible benefit of many here, but mum's the word!
  7. I love it when team-oriented propaganda pieces are actually backed up by truth! Well done OP. Very entertaining read, carry on!
  8. The Cowboys dominated the Giants last week. Beasley played for the Cowboys. Beasley is now catching passes for the Buffalo Bills. Ergo, the Bills will dominate the Giants this week. See how symmetrically logical and easy this is? Go Bills!!!!!!
  9. I know you're a born cynic with these Bills bro, but I look forward to your eventual transformation as this year unfolds!
  10. In reading these delusional takes from the Giants fanboys, I couldn't help but think this is the same type of "moxie" as that displayed by Monty Python's Black Knight...
  11. Hey, it’s called statistical sampling! Don’t make me break out my old poly-sci textbooks on you ; I’m sure the poster conducted a sound scientific poll with a 3+- margin of error based on his control group parameters before posting the results!
  12. Thanks for the obvious effort put into your analysis OP, appreciate the deep dive beyond the box score!
  13. Fight referee needs to be one or more of the Ryan brothers to complete the buffoonery
  14. I was one of the raving pitchforks mob last year, early on calling for his scalp--I'm glad management paid me no heed. I think he's been good for Josh, and I value the continuity so far. There's no doubt he develops creative concepts around his personnel, and your point about the unpredictability is well made. Isn't that some of the learnin' he absorbed from Darth Vader's school of situational football week in, week out, where you always are keeping opposing D's off balance with new wrinkles despite what you showed on film the week before? Me too.
  15. Stumbled across the same clip while looking for postgame material in the Bills channel section of Youtube, and agree totally. I did not expect to find a rational, clearly-thinking Jets fan after that (@Bleedingreennc excepted of course ).
  16. Greggo, the proud papa of this bunch, was only irritated by the fact more Bills didn't leave injured on Sunday. What a joke of a coaching staff over there, SMH.
  17. I see what you did there! Awesome
  18. At some point I wonder if the hubris of Hoodie comes back to bite him? AB doesn't strike me as the type to dance to anybody's fiddle but his own, SB aspirations or not. Week 4 would be perfect timing for a classic AB meltdown taking up all of the media conference call questions for TB12, no?
  19. Greggo needs to start warming up in the batter's box, and decide whether or not to become the next Secretary of the Interior or stoop to accept the interim Jets HC job--it would be extra delish if the move were to happen just prior to the MNF game against Cleveland next week! How many popcorn GIF's could we fit in one thread?
  20. Is he quietly becoming the Fitzy cycle equivalent of the coaching ranks??
