If the NFL wants to put a game in Torshavn, Riga or Tallinn, I might go.
Tallinn is a beautiful place, but the time I was there in January ... we only had about 2 hours of daylight. Any home playoff game is a night game ....

I know Gordon (Kim's brother). Very cool guy, talented musician himself.
Some of you might already be aware. But the Pegulas also own a record label, Black River Entertainment here in Nashville. One of their artists - Kelsea Ballerini is a Grammy nominee this year. The CEO of the company is from Fairport and is Kim Pegula's brother.
At any rate, someone to root for at this year's Grammys.
Best.

I'm not sure the Cardinals can express interest in a player under contract with another team ...
-
They ran the end around fake a few times inside the Miami 20 during the game, including the go ahead drive (I think). My thought was that was stupid to do in the red zone, even dumber when they didn't fake it.
-
Absolutely! They needed to treat it like four down territoryAnyone else have a problem with the punt on 4th and 3 in OT?
-
I love snow games too. McCoy had a great game in the snow a few years ago when he was still in Philly. Of course I also recall the 6-3 game in Cleveland...
The snow game in Cleveland was 8-0 IIRC ... the 6-3 one was in Buffalo, I sat in the end zone for that painful JV game.

Glad he made a couple plays, but Tate is a stupid player on a team with more than enough stupid players already. WTF was he thinking when he reached in for that downed punt inside the five? The fact it was a dead ball at that point has nothing to do with it, either.
Smartest play of the game, actually. It shows he knows the rule book. Once the Bengals touched it, the worst that would happen is we get the ball at that point. If he picks it up and fumbles it and the Bengals return it for a touchdown, we get the ball where they last touched it before Tate picked it up. Unusual rule, but always been the case. At least one of the announcers knew the rule.

The best answer in my mind is found in his CFL days. Flutie set records there. He won the Grey Cup three times, Grey Cup MVP three times, CFL MVP six times ... all in seven years. It sounds amazing until you understand that he did it with three different teams. There was something about him that made teams want to unload him, even as he was the best in the league there at that time.
From what I could see ... it was ALWAYS all about him and proving everyone wrong about his height. He was not a team player.
-
What about the last play of the game? I haven't seen any comments about that yet ... Powell was absolutely flattened by Sherman ( I think). Not sure how to post the video, so I'll link youtube ...

That's less of a judgement call than PI which is why I think it can be challenged. It's pretty clear from replay to see if a guy is on the field or not when the ball is snapped.
I understand the objective nature being the reason it's allowed. The reason I brought it up was there were a few posts about not being able to challenge a penalty ... I just wanted to say, 'yes, you can' and highlight how inconsequential it often is compared to holding or PI.
-
Yet ... you can use replay to challenge 12 men on the field, even if they were running off to the sideline. As far as penalties go, that is probably the least impactful penalty but you can challenge it. Sounds like a concession for Brady when they do the quick snap QB sneak just in case they don't make it.
-
If such a perfect fit, why play Gabbert for the first five games ...?
-
To me, this was never more obvious than in the JETS game. People piled on the Defense, but failed to recognize the sheer enormity of Time of Possession which has a cumulative effect on the Defense when the Offense can't provide not only a breather, but an ability to gather themselves and make adjustments.
I just think back to the first Jet possession. We had them stored on 3rd, but for a phantom penalty. Fitz was running for his life. IIRC, a fumble or two that they recovered. There seemed to be one flukey big gain, plus the penalty on third ... And we lost the edge.
-
That leads to another question. The few times that I've heard the refs say that another penalty will lead to an ejection, it's always been about taunting after the play. Why wouldn't they do the same after vicious late hits and unnecessary roughing penalties? If they really are concerned about safety. Nope, but throw a ball at another player twice and you're ejected ,.. doesn't make sense.
-
How many times does he need to tell us that the punter stands 15 behind the LOS? It was like he is on a crusade to count punting yards like we measure FGs ...

I'll hopefully be watching today from Haiti ... It's already 80 this morning.

I cannot listen to WGR stream outside North America. It is always blocked.

Thanks for sharing. I could never understand why people do what you do but I do admire you for doing what you do. good luck with all the hard work that you are doing.
Hard work, dude, you wish me a birthday every year. Thank you!

This is a great place to be. We are full time in Port au Prince and will be working primarily as a link between Haitian churches and North American teams add they seek to serve and partner here.

Things were tougher than expected which led to our early retrieval. It took some time to come to grips with it, but here are some thoughts
-
Our family moved to Haiti in September to serve as missionaries for the next three (at least) years. We've had a good adjustment as we learn Kreyol and invest in the people. However, today we head to a small community in the central passion for a two week immersion experience to speed up the process of language and culture acquisition. We will have latrines, outdoor showers, no electricity and no personal vehicle. We'd appreciate your prayers as this is a tough prospect. It's like primitive camping in a sauna.
I'll check this thread when we get back and, if there's interest, I post some of the pictures.
Go Bills and Sabres!

Ralph (Kerr) is a friend of mine. He's mainly involved in assisting those in administration of local school districts. Good people ...
Definitely not related to the oil/gas field.

So I'm moving to Haiti this fall as a missionary and we are scaling down the things that we have in the house. Some of those things include Pro! & GameDay programs from late 70s to the early 90s as listed below. Basically, I want to give them to people who want them ... if that's you, let me know. I understand this may get moved to another forum, but wanted to get some response on the wall. I should also specify they are all Bills programs from Rich Stadium.
Programs that I have are:
November 18, 1979 vs. Packers (No Cover)
August 9, 1980 vs. Eagles (Montgomery Cover)
November 2, 1980 vs. Falcons (Falcons on Cover)
Super Bowl XV (Philly vs. Oakland)
August 15, 1981 vs. Browns (Hall of Fame Class of 1981 Cover)
November 22, 1981 vs. Patriots (No Cover ... Fergy Hail Mary to Roland Hooks game)
September 12, 1983 vs. Chiefs (No Cover)
October 21, 1984 vs. Broncos (Jack Lambert Cover)
September 21, 1986 vs. Cardinals (Leonard Smith Cover w/Cards)
August 13, 1990 vs. Giants (Hall of Fame Class of 1990 Cover)
December 22, 1991 vs. Lions (Chris Spielman w/Lions Cover)
November 20, 1994 vs. Packers (Reggie White Cover)

That's the other thing, too...they keep feeding the beast. If it's such a non-issue, why do you keep having press conferences on it?
Exactly ... they aren't making it go away AT ALL ... they are making it worse. And as much as I want them all to resign and go away, BB is way too smart to be getting everyone to pursue this without wanting us to.

My friend's wife was an ER XRay nurse on duty at the hospital when Thiesman came in ... pretty cool story for her to tell. She got to help read the film.
That and my friend got peed on by Jim Kelly in the high school locker room after football practice one day.
Cool story, bro ...
