  1. I woke up this morning and my wife gave me a kiss and said, "you are a great guy." I said OK, and went downstairs and called the TSA at JFK Airport and told them what she said. The guy said to me, "Why the f%#k are you telling this to me?" I responded, "Well, you said that I should report any unusual activity."
  2. It's much too groovy a summer's day To waste running 'round in the city But here on the sand I can dream away Or look at the girls in their pretty It's a turn down day, nothin' on my mind It's a turn down day and I dig it
  3. This was an interesting post and i enjoy posts like this. But with all of these questions, I think that it would help (or at least help me) if you ended it with some sort of summary. It is hard to see what it is you are driving at. Thanks once again for the post and I'm pretty sure that the issue is mine, not yours lol.
  4. This is just horrible news. I am glad that he was able to enjoy the lyrics thread, in which he was a big participant. His video was eye opening and poignant and he is right. We need to enjoy the little things that we take for granted. All of us. I pray that God blesses his family and provides them with solace in this time of sorrow.
  5. Judge said "Son, I know your baby well But that's a secret I can't never tell" Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood, And you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good" Well you know son you just can't figure, First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger And it's no wonder your reason goes bad, Jelly roll will drive you stone mad * Robert Hunter claims to have never written a song while tripping. He did however state that he wrote one song drunk, "Dupree's Diamond Blues." This of course is an excerpt.
  6. Damien Harris is a very bright young man. He just did a broadcast with Paul Feinbaum and I think that he will go far as a commentator. Damien always gave his best. He was a strong runner, good receiver and a very willing blocker. I am glad that he retired to avoid serious, long term injury. At Alabama he was always a favorite of, and was often praised by Coach Saban because of the above and his intelligence. Good Luck Damien and thanks.
  7. You make sense. McDermott is better than Jauron ever was, no doubt. I will however say this: Jauron, McDermott and yes Levy focused primarily on defensive backs. In 2006, we entered the draft with the #8 pick in rounds 1 and 2, and the nos. 5 and 8 in round 3. We came out of this great situation with S Donte Whitner, DT Josh McCargo, and S Ashton Youboty and to achieve this, Levy/Jauron traded away one of the 3rd rounders in a trade up for the inept McCargo. In the 4th round, these two Ivy League Grads drafted the famous Ko Simpson. You know, the one who asked his arresting police officers "Do you know who I am?" In 2017, we all know how McDermott traded away the Mahomes pick and drafted a cornerback. At the time, our QB room consisted of Tyrod Taylor, Cardale Jones, and EJ Manuel. McD however did not fully neglect the QB position, whereas he did draft Nathan Peterman in round 5. 😯 I think that it is very safe to say that history tells us that McDermott tends to focus more on defense than he does on offense. Despite all this. I do however agree that McDermott is superior to Jauron. I guess that it becomes a question of how much better. Even Jauron, however painfully awful he was, didn't have Josh Allen, and McDermott does. I hope that his GREAT talent gets us a Super Bowl.
  8. I don't think that he has to worry about Beane. McDermott brought him in and imo he can fire Beane at will. McDermott runs the ship and was in charge before Beane got to town. I'm surprised to see the heartfelt support that McDermott is getting in this thread. Yes, his record is good but his quarterback is Great! I don't know, do folks think that McDermott was the only coach who could have achieved this record with Josh Allen at QB? Could no other coach have done a better job in the playoffs, or provided Josh with better tools? Yeah, it's hard for me to grasp the blind loyaly but as always, jmo.
  9. Come Saturday morning I'm goin' away with my friend We'll Saturday-laugh more than half of the day (ay-ay-ay) Just I and my friend (my friend) Dressed up in our rings and our Saturday things And then we'll move on But we will remember long after Saturday's gone (Come Saturday morning, come Saturday morning)
  10. "Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you What you thought was your daddy, was nothing but a... While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen Your real daddy was dyin' Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked" Oh, I, oh I'm still alive Hey, I, oh I'm still alive Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
  11. You, you give me love, and all of the things, that I will want forever Yes you, sweep away pain, giving me joy, I know will last forever You little trustmaker, you're no heart-breaker Yes sir You little trustmaker, you're no heart-breaker You little trustmaker
  12. Nice work! Thanks for the effort that you had to have put into this. PS: I truly do hope that the Jets do not get Bowers but unless someone trades ahead of them they probably will.
  13. Would you like to rephrase this? I'm not being snide but the sentences seem to contradict each other.
  14. Well, I disagree about WR not being a "dire need." And in terms of losing #28 for just another 3rd or 4th, I would say no way. The last thing that I want is for the Bills to get stiffed again as they did in the Mahomes pick for Tre White fiasco, and I don't trust McDermott not to repeat something this ill advised, or shall I say stupid. Now, If a team wanted to give us a 1st and a 2nd or 3rd in 25 and a 3rd this season, I would at least consider it. What I don't want is for McDermott to make another stupid trade up to get yet another defensive player.
  15. Gotta find a woman be good to me Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will Easy wind Going cross the Bayou today There's a whole lotta women Out on the streets in a red today And the river keep a talkin' But you never heard a word it said
  16. You tell me you're lonely, I know how you feel Leaning up at the bars, rocking back on my heels She's a wild bird that wanders, too easy to stray I knew she had to lose me to find her own way Oh, Corey, I'll be coming soon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon Through the Louisiana pines to the Mississippi moon
  17. This sounds great and I would be in favor of this, however; I am not a lawyer, but I have serious doubts about whether this would stand up in court. For instance, if I am a college student (non-athlete), am I not allowed to transfer from school to school at will? I would think so. It might slow down my obtaining a degree but as you well know, many of these student athletes don't care all that much about college degrees. Don't get me wrong. I am an Alabama Fan and I started this thread to express my misgivings about the Proctor situation. One would think that a group called the NCAA would possess a certain amount of intelligence but this doesn't seem to be the case. The ever divided US Supreme Court actually ruled 9-0 against them fairly recently. I get the impression that soon the NCAA will not exist.
  18. I assume they can but I can't say for sure. Belecik was a frequent visitor to Tuscaloosa. It is hard for me to imagine Saban (his friend for about 50 years and fellow Croatian) not introducing him to players.
  19. Yes but I heard Coach Ferentz say that he went off with the bulk of the NIL money that Iowa had. It is apparently legal but it does appear to be somewhat sinister. Proctor has all the potential to be great. Tbh he looks more like a dominant RT to me but I could be wrong. As a Bama Fan I just hope the kid has his head on straight.
  20. Jermaine Burton is VERY talented. He would have much better numbers with any of the previous four Alabama QBs. MUCH better. Playing with Milroe at QB makes him tougher to rate and will more than likely cost him in the draft. The only caveat is that he is said to be a bit of a head case. I think that if he has himself together he would be a very, very good target for Josh. Jmo.
