I'm conflicted. Feel the percentage for a positive play on a kickoff, i.e.: greater than the 25 yard line or a TD, is outweighed by a the potential for a negative play. With the change in kickoff rules in the NFL, they've neutered the kick return team so it's almost moot.

Especially if the AAF sends some players to the majors. Will give them a jump on recruiting players.

Fyi. Both games are streaming live on aaf.com

Obligatory answer. Blizzard.

Refs look like they are wearing bullet proof vests.

Is there an agreement with the NFL about cherry picking, or is it built in the players contracts like the CFL? Be interesting if a guy lights it up and signs with the NFL after a few weeks as a UFA.

Anyone get a stadium focused group invite.
davefan66 replied to Hammers Lot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Got the invite. Have 2 seats. said no to PSL, limited increasenwith new stadium. -
I don’t see this as a tag and trade. I don’t believe Wentz has won the team, and they are also safeguarding from poor play. Wentz may may have a better stat line, but the team played much better under Foles, believe that’s why they will keep him. Problem is, what does keeping Foles do to Wentz? Always looking over his shoulder.

Interesting yet weird story on stadium bathrooms
davefan66 replied to Stevie Ray's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure what the issue has been, but this past season the restrooms became a problem. I use the newer restroom by section 330 on the upper deck mezzanine, the one that is at the top of the ramp up. Lines were huge all season at obvious times to go, but also long during the “off” times. Cleanliness wasn’t much of an issue early on, became a problem mid season. Have not seen the sink used as a urinal for years since they’ve upgraded them. Wonder if that’s the reason for longer lines! Back in the day it was common to see someone using the sink every time you used the restroom (NOT condoning the action). -

Anyone replace both knees at same time?
davefan66 replied to Steve O's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Depends on the type of knee replacement, total versus partial. Also depends on your overall health. Getting both knees done at the same time has its advantages - single copay, one rehab period, less chance for post-op infection and one hospital visit. The disadvantage is you won't have a good leg to stand on after surgery.... Knee replacement surgery has changed greatly over the last 10 years. It used to be you'd get the replacement and spend 3 days in the hospital. Now, you may spend a single night in the hospital. They are even performing these surgeries in ambulatory surgery centers. Post-op pain and complications have lessened, as has rehab time. Again, it is about your overall health and your strength to be able to have the surgery and rehab both knees at once. Pain management is also a concern if having both done. One thing I have learned is each surgery is individual, you can't assume someone else's good/bad surgery will happen that way for you. I've taken care of people who had both knees done at different times and their experiences differed greatly from knee to knee. It's really up to you how well you do. If you're healthy and strong, you should do fine. It's about putting in the time before to build strength and after to rehab the best you can. Your MD should know whether or not you are a good candidate for both knees at once. If you're not, he/she won't do it. -
The rule that needs changing is what is reviewable. Too many times critical plays are missed that change the game, ie: massive PI by NRC. Probably one of the worst missed calls I've ever seen (even worse than "just give it to them"). OT is much fairer than it was before. Problem was not the coin toss, but the defense not making a stop.
-
As much as I really don't want to, I will. I'm tired of seeing the patsies playing in the SB. Just want to enjoy the game without caring who wins. Just hate the fact that a few missed plays (Offside, phantom roughing the passer) helped them get back. I know good teams make good things happen, but how many good things can happen to one team? From the tuck rule to last night, tired of it. I predict a blow out by the patsies, so will watch until its unwatchable.

These two are the absolute worst announcers. Aikmen is a tool. -
I agree Wentz is more apt to be traded then Foles leaving. Team believes in Nick, and are much better with him, they respond to him. Just look at last year, and this year since he’s back as starter. I get how can you get rid of a player that cost so much to acquire. Thing is, plenty of first rounders who cost the team extra never pan out. At least with Wentz, you can get something in return.

Had an amazing time this past season. Love going to games. The atmosphere this year was fantastic, met a ton of cool people outside an inside the stadium. Only had a few issues this year. First, the season ticket holder in front of us had an attitude this year, irritating but no big deal. Second incident was a dude pretending to be hit by my car after the last game and not letting up, wasn’t funny. Otherwise, met a ton of great people, ate some great food and drank some awesome beers. As far as the game? Sit 300’s and feel we see the action just fine, and get to see plays develop. Sit where there is about 50/50 season tickets. Didn’t have an issue with the different fans each game, no fights/problems. Biggest issue? Missing things like injuries and expalanations about penalties, etc. Could just have a radio to fix that. Absolutley will I’ll keep my season. Kind of a grind with the December games past few years, but who cares.

Weirdest/Worst Christmas present you received
davefan66 replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Plug in the cigarette lighter ice scraper from the wifey. One of those BS Christmas gifts JCPenneys stocks in the aisle around Xmas. Easier to just put the defrosters on for a few minutes. Thing was useless. -
Sous Vide - Virgin Journey Today! Advice?
davefan66 replied to plenzmd1's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Son works at a restaurant that uses these, got me hooked on the Anova. i use metal binder clips to secure the bags to the pot. I use a basic food saver vacuum sealer, usually gets all the air out so it works perfectly. A nice feature of the unit is if you have a wet product you are sealing (like a marinated meat), hit vacuum until you see liquid creep up the bag and then hit the seal button; helps keep from sucking liquid into the sealer. Problem is, will leave a little air in and cause floating. I just use a large metal spoon and place it over the bag in the bath, works perfectly to keep submerged. I’ve cooked sausage, beef roast, pork roast, steaks, chicken, burgers and chicken wings. All come out great. The beef roast comes about great at 131 to 134 for 24-30 hours. Garlic, fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs (careful not to overdue, really permeates the meat). I usually get a 5 pound piece, cut in half and pan sear prior to vacuum. Use fresh or freeze, comes out awesome. Pink throughout and super tender. Chicken does have a different texture, but remember as long as you use the proper temp, it’s pasteurized and isn’t raw. I guess I’m just too used to over cooked chicken. Comes out great. Use John Henry’s Tammy’s Herbsl Rub. https://www.johnhenrysfoodproducts.com/product/tammys-herbal-rub-12-oz/ Chickn wings are great in the SV. About 8 plain wings per bag. 140 for an hour. Bring them to games and grill them. Get them browned, then sauce and grill again. Once that sauce is carmalized, sauce and grill again. Amazing! Use a 1:1 rmix of Guys Asian barbecue and Wok sauce and Anchor Bar hot wing sauce, great flavor. Sounds weird, but is really good. Also do burgers for games. Cuts down on cooking time and come out juicy. -
RN here. Absolutely the full man makes people bonkers. Many elderly have what’s called “sundowners” - get more confused and tough to handle at night. But full moon crazy is in a category by itself. Definite incresae in patients punching, biting, fighting, wandering, yelling. Honestly, you can feel an overall increased tension sometimes, even with younger patients.
