Sunday kinda news ?

 

Man I grew up in Montreal

 (Cote St Luc) moved to Florida in 91 and now live in TEXAS  for 4 years , 

Just talked to my mom yesterday and she said it was still cold , the only thing I don’t miss is the weather , 

i do miss a good bagel and even pizza , I know many believe that you think of New York when it comes to Pizza & Bagels but that’s BS !!!  NOTHING like Montreal !!! 

I also remember those steamed hot dogs at the Olympic stadium ( in the 80’s ) man those  were some GREAT hot dogs ,

Curious - did the competitiveness of some players come out during the game or was it all very low key

It seemed like they wanted to win.   Any time anyone hit a home run they would celebrate like little leaguers. It seems they really like each other

I was just going to say I felt it was competitive enough for a charity softball game. I wouldn’t have expected anyone to do anything to get hurt or anything but some of the guys were really laying out. Duke Williams for one, he went after a home run and make a leaping attempt at the ball as it was going over the fence (not the Bisons wall) and upended himself trying to go for the ball. 

 

In on a brighter note, on one of the home runs by the offense, while the offense was gathered around the bench waiting for the batter to come home, Allen was holding Isiah McKenzie like he was a toddler waiting for the celebration. It was kinda funny.

I'll go ahead and say it -- "this doesn't mean anything about winning NFL football games" -- but it's nice to see a team of guys who seem to genuinely care about each other and have some passion.  The hope is that this translates over to football practices and games, and really laying it on the line for your teammates.

He broke an damn aluminum bat. If he wins us the SB, he go down in legion as SuperMan

 

Wait till Frank Gore makes a great block for him, and he hurdles a linebacker for a crucial, crucial 3rd down scramble to keep the drive going for an on-grass, 47-yard FG to win the SB.

These guys seem to be building a genuine bond with each other.

It does, I can't recall seeing anything like this from the team since the early 90s days. Kudos to the front office to bring in a guy like Hyde that put something like this together.

As a slightly encouraged JA skeptic, I do like the fact that he doesn't shy away from competition. The story I heard about him banging a half court shot on the spot in front of his teammates tells me this is a guy who doesn't get nervous and performs well when the lights are on him. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I like it.

 

Silly stuff to some, but I've long believed that the psychological makeup of a QB is of extreme importance. That little anecdote tells me something about his mentality.

I can respect breaking an aluminum bat, but Jim Rice once snapped his bat in half on a checked swing. Talk about bat speed and the strength to stop it.
