  1. Unless he's going to throw the ball or take off running, I don't think there's too many things a punter can to other than would surprise an opposing team. The man just has more talent for his job than most of us have ever seen.
  2. The NFL is just trying to drive fans away. They succeeded with me years ago.
  3. It's times like these that makes me miss nsaa.
  4. Put me down for a 1 time payment of 44,000 Iranian rials. Or $2 a month, your choice. This is got darn merica, do whatever you need to to turn a profit. I did $5 a month at shaggy so I can do that here also.
  5. I would say couches will be burning in Columbus, but I guess that a celebratory act.
  6. I bet there's a bunch of aggys out there ready to squeeze his nuts for writing that.
  7. Anyone read his autobiography? It sounds like a hell of a story. A lot of people must have the same idea, out of stock on Amazon. Might wait for paperback if it's ever printed, going for $29 used.
  8. Just skimming through this thread, it's pretty clear most of you will be on suicide watch if Trump is re-elected. I'll check back in 2 years and a few months for the sorrow or the jubilation. It should be fun either way. I voted democrat for the first time in my life for Obama's first term. What followed was 7 of the worst years my business ever experienced, 1st year wasn't too bad. 2017 was my best year ever and 2018 is looking even better. I vote with my wallet, which I'm guessing a majority of people do. Now if the economy tanks before the next election, my vote will be wide open to whom I feel is the best candidate. There's way too much hate on both sides anymore to consider myself anything but an independent. I'm fiscally conservative but a little more liberal socially, but I definitely lean just a little to right of center. I just get turned off by the loudest mouths on both sides of the isle, Hannity, Tucker, and pretty much anyone on msnbc and a few on CNN.
  9. Back in the early 80s they had a sure fire early round NBA pick named Apple Green, except for the fact I don't believe he was drafted at all. Well fuck me, he was drafted by the nuggets in the 2nd round
  10. Grabber by the pussy! Or whatever he yelled on campus
  11. Saturday night in the station or Austin, tough decision there
  12. The 52 part is exactly why he doesn't want to do it yet. I believe I mentioned it before, but he said a new replacement recently came out but he advised against being one of the first to get it. What's aggravating is he said even if I have a torn rotator he can't fix it because it needs to to replaced, and that's my "good" shoulder. I watched a replacement on YouTube. I commend you guys for going through with it. I didn't think much of it until I watched that, it's tough to watch.
  13. Van Overdam, sounds like he could be related to that guy that killed the Halloway girl in Aruba.
  14. My dad needs a kidney and we just started the process to see if I'm a match. Has anyone ever given or received one before? Biggest issue is probably going to be his age, 77. May have to pay out of pocket if Medicare or my insurance won't pay part. Best I can tell it's about $260k, but it's hard to put a monetary value on the price of family and friends. Basicly that would just be part of my and my sisters inheritance so no big deal. Won't miss money that wasn't in the first place.
  15. Bought my first pair of aviators in 1980, I paid something like $40 for them. That's pretty much all I wore for 20 plus years. I then tried Serengeti, Oakley, Maui Jim, and Revo for the last 19 years. In the past 6 months I purchased a pair of Ray Bans, but they're not aviators. Like aviators they're a bit heavier than all those other glasses I've tried but I really like these glasses and will probably be sticking with Ray Bans another 20 years if I live that long. If you get aviators, pay the extra $30 or whatever the price difference is and get the polorazied, well worth it.
  16. Sooner or not, I agree with the reviews he received, probably 90% positive. This guy has a great demeanor and from everything I've read is a great doctor as well.
  17. Crazy thing is the left isn't worn down quite as badly, but it hurts worse than the right. I'm thinking I have a torn rotator but he said he won't do an MRI because even if it is torn he couldn't fix it because it needs to be replaced. Like an idiot, I was hurrying down the attic ladder and missed a step and reached back across the opening to keep myself from falling on my face. I tore my pec and pretty sure the rotator as well. Never been in such pain in my life. That was about 6 years ago when the pain was first starting and also when I found out I had arthritis. When that happened he told me I would have to replace them in about 20 years. Roll forward 6 years the pain gets worse, I go back in and he's amazed at how the arthritis has progressed and tells me it could be done at any time, but try an wait until the pain is unbearable. The xrays he took a few months ago were much more detailed than 6 years ago, so im not sure if the bone deterioration is that much worse or the new shots taken at all angles showed more. My Dr is John Seaberg, he was at KSF orthopedics before moving over to Methodist. I've nothing heard but great things about him and know several people that's had joint replacement and other surgeries by him. I guess it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion. Damn, just looked at his bio again, he's a gooner.
  18. Man, I'm sorry to here that. At what stage did you decide to have it done? It sounds crazy, but doing light reps on certain exercises at the gym is less painful than putting on a shirt, whether it's button down or pull over, putting on deodorant, and even turning a steering wheel. I guess working out is more of a controlled moment so I know what I can do without too much pain. About half the time my wife has to help me get my shirt on, but on the bright side she doesn't like the old missionary position anymore because my shoulders crunch in her ear. At this point are you wishing you didn't do it? I guess I definitely won't get both done the same year, it's not worth saving $4,500 If there's a good chance I'll have issues. I hope it gets better, I feel for you.
  19. The resistance bands are what I used in therapy and still use them now and then. When I say l still lift, it's never more than 15 pound dumbbells and my elbow never gets anywhere near shoulder high. It's mostly curls, tricep pull downs, and seated rows, lots of reps. Anything I can keep my arms in tight to my sides I'm ok, even the stretching motion of the rows isn't bad as long as I keep it light. Reaching back, overhead, or out with nothing in my hands is always painful, as is laying on my sides which is the only way I can sleep very well so I'm constantly waking up. As far as swimming goes, there's no way I could freestyle, breaststroke, or backstroke, there's way too much motion. My shoulders crack, pop, and grind with any rotation of the joint. The therapist put it best, he said my shoulders sound like they're full of rice crispies. I'm going to snap a pic of my xrays next time I go in and post them, it's pretty fucked up looking.
  20. He gave me cortisone injections in both shoulders and sent me to PT. After a few weeks I went back in for my follow-up visit and pretty much the first words out of his mouth were "it didn't help much did it". He kept saying I don't want to scare you, but..... you have the shoulders of an old NFL veteran o-lineman. It sounds vain, and believe me I'm no gym rat, but not being able to stay in shape after the surgery is what scares me the most. Well that and paying for the next set out of my pocket. At least right now I can do certain exercises with very light weight and limited shoulder movement, I'm afraid that will come to an end after replacement. He said I can't do much more damage so I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing until I can't. Luckily I have a great crew that works for me so my income isn't affected. I guess it's time to give them a hefty raise to keep them around.
  21. Overuse from my early 20s to late 40s, lots of overhead work. Any simple movement can be very painful, but I'm able to do limited movements with very light weight in the gym. It's been a learning curve over the last 6 years. It's the everyday functions that seem to hurt the most, reaching for something, standing with my arms crossed then putting my arms down, and probably the worst is sleeping. Half of the ball on my right humorus is worn down, its completely flat on one side.
  22. I need both shoulders replaced at the ripe old age of 52. Doctor told me shoulder replacements are basicly shit right now and if I stay active I'll need to replace them again in just a few years. Problem is my insurance probably wouldn't pay for it again. I'm just hoping my ortho doctor is being a little overly cautious. New model just came out, but he doesn't recommend being a guinea pig. Question is, has anyone had a shoulder replaced, and what are your limitations? I'd also like to have both replaced in the same calender year so I only pay the deductible once. From what I hear this guy is supposed to be one of the best. He works at Methodist in Houston and is one of the doctors in the group that takes care of the Texans and Astros. I'd like to still be able to hit the gym with some light weights, anyone tried it? I don't know anyone that's roughly my age that's had it done, the people I know that's had it done are older and not very active. Basicly I feel like I'm screwed either way. The pain is unbearable sometimes, but I can see myself deteriorating quickly if I have the surgeries.
  23. What were they doing in the valley?
