  1. richard sherman said there will be no punishment because goodell and the pats owner (kraft?) are buddies. apparently goodell was at his house just a few days ago. SNL had a real good opening to their show this week, working in a great reference from a few good men.
  2. players kept saying how this is for the fans (which could be code for "we'd rather be at home getting some sleep"), so how about if the defense try to put a stick or two on a player or knock a puck away. seriously, it was like they were out there playing against their own children.
  3. wow, not sure of the timing of this move, with toffoli and pearson both out. there had been rumors of trading him to toronto for dion phanuef. guess that won't be happening now. can someone explain hockey waivers? i don't know the particular process very well. does this mean richards is done as a king?
  4. that's what bohemian grove is for every july.
  5. Man, what a snooze fest. I get that no one wants to get injured, and I'm okay with that, but for crying out loud, play a little defense.
  6. People who won't stop talking. I work with someone who takes three minutes to tell me 20 seconds of information, most of which I've already figured out within ten seconds of the beginning of her comments. When she ends a phone call it has endless amounts of Okays thrown it, too.
  7. We had lunch together last Tuesday. He asked me not to disclose any details.
  8. right after we find out what kind of torque wrench he bought to fix his mower.
  9. You can never go wrong with whole olives and carrot sticks.
  10. Parts of The Natural were really well done, but I disliked that he either homered or struck out. Pride of the Yankees The Babe Ruth Story Field of Dreams
  11. Two plus years ago we had to put down one of our cats. He was young but suddenly had extremely labored breathing one night. Took him to an ER Vet and they found he was just filled with cancer. Surgery was an option but would only give him a year at best. No reason to do that, so we said our goodbyes and went home. The toughest part was consoling my daughter as this was her first time having to put down a pet.
  12. That's like the people on jeopardy who say "Alex, 600 old political slogans". It's wrong just like your way of writing percents, and no one in this great land of ours should tolerate it. NO ONE!!
  13. someone tell me more about the streaming service. do you get charged per movie if you're a prime member, or is it included? my daughter is always looking for new iphone covers from them, and that alone could make it worth the cost.
  14. bob berry bob nevin whitey whiting
  15. i wouldn't know any of these guys even if Lou hit them with his car. so i pick whichever one isn't injured by Lou and his poor driving habits.
  16. i don't think he'll play enough to get enough hits for 3,000 this year. maybe look at our needs a year from now and see if he can contribute.
  17. what's the advantage to having prime? i shop on amazon maybe once or twice a year.
  18. i don't put them up on a pedestal but i greatly respect the risk they were willing to take. every signer of the declaration of independence had a bounty on their head, and many of them lost property and their wealth during the revolutionary war. those were big things to wager. imagine today a group that is so fed up with the way gov't is being run - too many lobbyists giving out gobs of perks and money for votes, politicians who don't have to follow the same laws they hand down to us, lifelong politicians who no longer serve the public good outside of how it benefits them personally - that they decide to risk it all and not only declare war on the feds, but take up weapons and start an actual war. just imagine what they're risking by doing this. that's the same general scenario as the guys in the late 1700s, who then wrote a new completely new system of gov't, one that wasn't being used anywhere else and was often called the great experiment. it worked, and has worked pretty well for decades. but we have now reached a point where corruption is done right in front of us and hardly anyone raises and eyebrow. we receive so many empty promises about "reaching across the aisle", knowing that none of those promises are going to kept on things that truly matter. the approval rating of congress has reached all time lows, and the president is seen by many as a distrustful leader. this is not the system the powdered wig guys left for us. it's been twisted and crushed and reshaped to something that no longer works in the best interests of the citizenry. to characterize the work of the founding fathers as a simple money grab is pretty lame (although there's some truth to it, but you've completely dismissed the lack of a representative gov't).
  19. i kicked you out at halftime and immediately threw some nice all beef hot dogs on the grill. your loss, but if you want to stay the whole game next time, then stop sitting there on my couch making funny noises and smells with your body. it took the serve pro people two days to clean up after you.
  20. was surprised to learn that all nfl qbs before a game get to pick which footballs they want to use during the game. if that's the case, then i have no doubt that all nfl qbs want some kind of alteration to the footballs they're going to use. the NFL needs to put a stop to this - nothing wrong may actually happen, but it's the appearance of evil that needs to be stemmed here. so who takes care of the footballs before the super bowl? who inflates them, who watches over them, who supplies them?
