  1. <shrugs shoulders> That works
  2. Jesus Fuck, Nightengale is such a chode. Welp, I guess Houston can go ahead and plan to play Minny. Royals had a good run.
  3. According to the Chiefs beat writer for The Athletic: With less than a minute remaining, the Falcons faced a fourth-and-inches from the Chiefs’ 13-yard line. The Falcons lined up in a condensed formation featuring two tight ends and two running backs, similar to one they used in the second quarter to score a 1-yard touchdown. Before getting under backup center Ryan Neuzil, Cousin used a signal, using his hands to tap his helmet multiple times, to communicate with his teammates. “They saw us all kind of loading the box and they said, ‘Check, check,’” linebacker Leo Chenal said. “We knew that they were alerting to an outside run. (Linebacker) Nick (Bolton) just read it perfectly and took the shot.” Bolton, who suffered a lower back injury earlier in the fourth quarter, was the lone defender the Falcons didn’t block. He sprinted upfield behind Chenal, who created penetration against left tackle Jack Matthews and tackled running back Bijan Robinson behind the line of scrimmage for a 3-yard loss.“I saw that and cheated over a little bit,” Bolton said of the Falcons’ formation. “It’s a rule around the locker room: If a tight end is (supposed to block No.) 54, man, he’s going to set the edge for you. I saw Leo set the edge and I went off his butt and I made a play. I trusted the play call we had and I already knew where I was going on the snap.”
  4. ISWYDT and I'm hoping like hell that it gets sidetracked.
  5. Had this exchange with my kids after a trip to Field of Dreams, Saturday.
  6. The wife and I were at Field of Dreams Saturday evening. Many JEJ quotes were uttered. This gave me a lump in my throat.
  7. We were here 10 years ago to see WSU kick UNI ass in basketball when Baker and VanVleet were playing. We never made it downtown. Big mistake. This is a really cool place. We came up last night so the wife could go to Field if Dreams this morning. It’s been a lot more fun than I expected.
  8. Singlespeed. Ate brats at Weblo’s or whatever the name is. Shit, there is a chocolatier across the street and a a French pastry shop attached to the hotel. I’m in diabetic heaven. I could live here.
  9. Congrats Al! I spent most of today in Cedar Falls day drinking. The surly Iowa fans right now in the Blackhawk Hotel bar would warm your heart. Despondent doesn’t quite cover the vibe they are giving off. Well done!
  10. My Dad was an 18 yr old Hospital Corpsman onboard the USS Wisconsin for the last 6 months of the war. He didn't talk about his service much but he did say that he was scheduled to be part of the first invasion wave. I don't know if he really knew that or if it was conjecture on his part but he always said that those bombs likely saved his life.
  11. Do any of you regularly use your EV on gravel or country roads. I'm thinking about upgrading my wife's ride to an EV but we have 3 miles each way to town on gravel. Depending upon the recency of the graderman, the road can be rough. I'm worried about vibrations shortening circuitboard and battery life. I am considering the Lightning because of it's ruggedness but she really doesn't need the extra size complicating her life. Thoughts? ETA, My daughter has a Mach-E GT and my brother has an Ionic 5. I have driven both and am sold on the EV overall. Durability is the issue.
  12. It was the Fancy Ferry
  13. This isn't a Steel Shank entrant but I didn't know where else to park it. This excellent looking poutine prompted my post. Breakfast Poutine onboard a ferry from St. John, N.B. to Digby N.S. last week.
  14. Nothing to see here. Move along.
  15. The boss broke out the soft-serve machine.

    My brother and I had tickets to his show in June, 1969 but the show was cancelled. The local radio said it was a lack of sales and, if so, that's the most Wichita thing ever. Check out the prices. This guy claims the show was cancelled after Hendrix was busted at the Canadian border and took a break from touring. I don't know what really happened but I was pissed. https://results.concertpostergallery.com/lot/23511
  17. The scorer changed it to an error shortly after the game ended.
  18. He has pictures of somebody. He hasn't earned the long leash that he has.
  19. Oh, I got what I wished for. DM was canned . The reason KC had to settle for the deadline deals they made is because the farm is littered with the good sons and fathers that DM treasured. Nobody else wants those guys. It's going to take a couple more drafts and deadlines before they get the farm system back in shape. Calling Phillips a potential legend was hyperbole but he would be an improvement over most any of the OF from the last 3 years.
  20. He coulda been a KC legend but bible-thumping, stick in the mud Dayton Moore took a dislike to his joyous attitude and sent him packing for virtually nothing. Royals outfield is still a mess because of DM's value of piousness over athleticism. Fuck that guy.
  21. God, I hope so. That kid is turrible. Doesn't look like KC gave up much for the modest moves. What it really means is that the farm is so shitty that nobody wants any of the hands. Erceg looks like a decent pickup. He's better than any of the warm bodies in the pen. Onward and upward.
  22. Maybe he's the OF bat that KC is looking for
