When you have to move pipe and bail hay first thing in the morning BEFORE you go to school......you know you are working. I had a friend that grew up on a farm. His first ever big job his dad gave him was when he was around 7 years old. The job was to look for the chickens that had puss or yellowish ooze coming from their eye. When he found them, he killed them to prevent the spread of this bacteria. Killed by wringing. When I was 7, I was playing Tecmo Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) If he isn't signed I am assuming that means he cannot participate at all in camp...unlike minicamp? Has to be a CBA rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my favorite Super Bowl commercial since it came out....just fantastic! My grandfather grew up on a dairy farm in Unadilla - hated it and it drove him to do very different things in life, but he always respected the work ethic and the general principles of farm life.

Yeah my grandfather lost his dairy as he got older and older to one of the bigger players in the area....up to then it was a family ran business. My grandfather.....absolutely the toughest SOB I ever knew......strict with his discipline but also learned so much from him growing up.....he basically was my father since I didnt know mine. Sometimes I hated him but always loved him......and he taught me what it meant to be mentally tough and how to weather bad times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Symbolism over substance. Had a guy at work years ago talk about how, "sweat doesn't count...results do." Still, I wish Allen the best and hope he becomes the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people here apparently didn't get the joke re "craft service." This might help: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124245252 " . . . craft service assists not so much the stars, but the crew: "craft" workers such as grips, gaffers, property masters, costumers, electricians, hair and make-up artists. These days, the job is mainly known for providing workers and actors with lavish snacks — all day long." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this meant he is "...already there.", as in he is getting everything down and understanding it. you are not stupid...…....many probably thought the same thing as that has been a long debate on the boards. Use of the word "there" implies that. Using the word "here" in headline would have been more accurate. Edited July 18, 2018 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
