  1. I can't imagine how much Packers fans can't stand Kerby Joseph.
  2. If I were betting this week Favorite - Spread - Underdog (HOME TEAM in ALL CAPS) ATLANTA 3 Dallas - I'll take Atlanta, at home and I think Dallas is done. BUFFALO 6 Miami - Buffalo all day here CINCINNATI 8 Las Vegas - Give me Vegas and the points LA Chargers 2 CLEVELAND - I will take the Chargers here. TENNESSEE 3.5 New England - I'll go Pats here (based on what I saw from Tennessee last week) Washington 4 NY GIANTS - I think it's DC and it won't be close New Orleans 7 CAROLINA - I will hesitantly take NOLA here BALTIMORE 9 Denver - Balto will win, but 9 points? Give me Denver PHILADELPHIA 7.5 Jacksonville - Jax and the points ARIZONA 1.5 Chicago - Much as I hate trusting Arizona, I will here. That end last week has to have rattled Da Bears Detroit 2.5 GREEN BAY - I will take the Lions, who have exorcised their Lambeau Curse LA Rams 1.5 SEATTLE - Strange spread is begging you to bet on Rams. I will take Seattle MINNESOTA 5.5 Indianapolis - AR was playing like arse, Flacco inspires team. I'll take Colts KANSAS CITY 9 Tampa Bay - Tampa's so scrappy, but too many injuries, I'll go KC here. This is my iffiest game. Other Bet Someone wearing a Browns or Titans uniform today will be wearing a Lions uniform next week.
  3. It's funny. I watched Emergency as a kid. I had to watch it on the little black & white TV in my room because my mom could not stand all the sirens. But I never though that in my 50's I would be watching these shows again and REMEMBERING lines and plots from when I was 7 years old. Anyway, a lot of aspects of the show aged very poorly - especially their depiction of women. It's very cringe-y. I know they weren't the only show that showed women that way, but it does make me a bit uneasy. They're often portrayed as dumb or hysterical, when in my adult life I realize that women are not only smarter than men, they lap us and as far as being hysterical goes, that while yes, women may allow themselves to cry more than men do, it's merely because women are more open. And I have also learned that women are mentally tougher too. One of the reasons is that they have to put up with men all the time. We're mostly a bunch of overgrown children. Remember, single moms continue to get bashed in certain circles, but it was the moms who stayed & toughed it out while the dads took off (in more cases, not all). Anyway, still watch it if I find myself at home sick during the day or on the rare work-from-home day (which I don't like doing). Randolph Mantooth is the most awesome name of all time.
  4. Well A - that should be plastered in ads all over the telly in these last 2 days B - He'll probably roll back child labor laws if given the chance like that troll in Arkansas did.
  5. Indiana seems for real. I am rooting for them big time. Sorry Michigan, your season is done and anyone but Ohio State, right? So I am all for Oregon and Indiana right now.
  6. I think it's kind of a dumb idea to put political signs in your business window or property. There's a used car dealership near me with Trump signs all over the place. I can guarantee you that if I need a used car it won't be from him. And as Rob put it with that restaurant that Trump came to in Dearborn. It's someplace I went once and thought it was overpriced (and the hours were weird to me), but not only is the owner a Trumper, he's a homophobe too. Don't need people like that in my life. I have lost friendships over this kind of thing in recent years, but I just don't want to associate with people so hateful. I have one friend who is constantly going off about trans people on Facebook and I constantly ask how does it really affect his life? He doesn't like it, but how does it really affect his life? Any mention of the Bible will get a response of "do we really want to talk about YOUR history in any Biblical terms? Don't like Transfolk? Okay, don't hang out with them. Problem solved. He's still my friend because we've been through too much, but why does it matter? Never lived his life in any religious manner, why should anyone else?
  7. Well, I'll walk that back, he wasn't Bo's buddy, he was Bo's pawn - to make sure his players would always get medically cleared to play. Again, great guy.
  8. It's not my fault Bo's buddy was a pervert and he allowed him to stick around.
  9. You mean the Big 2 and the Little 8 years? Couldn't win a bowl game. Refused to adapt. Oh, and he let a pervert run loose on his players, too. Great guy.
  10. Penn State - We're always the THIRD best team in the Big 10. Always !!!!
  11. James Franklin = Bo Schembechler. Always ranked, but never the champ + stubbornly hangs onto running up the middle. Which makes what Michigan did to them last year so funny.
  12. I voted last Tuesday. I voted for myself in one of the judgeships. It was because I could vote for no more than 18 and there were only 18 names. So what was the point. I selected none and wrote in myself.
  13. Republicans closing argument: Racism + Slurping sounds. They are garbage. We should stop backing off that statement. When people show you who they are - believe them.
  14. Don't worry..........Franklin will **** this up.
  15. Favorite Team: Michigan Second Favorite Team: Ohio State's opponent Third Favorite: Central Michigan FIRE UP CHIPS !!!!!!
  16. But you know what? Obama won Florida twice. Florida was extremely close in 2016 DeSantis barely won his first term A lot of school board elections have been turning against conservatives the last couple of years Support for Trump with seniors is eroding. I think many of them are embarrassed by his antics (the mic-sucking thing won't help him with this set). He's lost some military voters too. A lot of those older vets are turned off by the "losers and suckers" remark (John Kelly would not have made that up). Floridians are growing tired of DeSantis and his antics Abortion and Weed are on the ballot And boy did they piss off Puerto Ricans. It's certainly not out of the question. Comes down to the youth vote (which seems be be strong this time around) and blocking DeSantis from pulling some sort of shenanigans

  18. He coached in an awful Big 12 when Texas was down. And that's it. Hey, but if I was him, I'd have cashed in too !
  19. Pitt is so bad this year that this guy was actually able to sack the QB.
  20. Republican Logic these days: if they need expensive meds to survive, they should have become millionaires. Why didn't they just take the millions from your parents and use that? Why didn't they just become millionaires? That's their fault !
  21. Not a fan of Reagan, but it was Limbaugh who created this vitriol. He started us down this path, Gingrich with his "Contract ON America" amped it up (and then got out of the way) and reality TV and the horrible behavior of the people on it inspired the type of behavior we see now.
  22. double post. sorry
  23. Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich started all of this. I don't see any common sense people taking control of the Republican party any time soon. I think John Kasich was trying a few years ago. The more pragmatic issue-oriented types have been pushed aside for these extremists and conspiracy theorists and yes RACISTS. The extremists on the left are kind of kept on the fringes. It's at the point where most Democrats just roll their eyes and let folks like Tlaib talk themselves tired. Yes, I believe in some conspiracies. I'll never buy the JFK assassination story. Most of my conspiracy beliefs are sports related (David Stern rigged the Patrick Ewing draft, the Refs were told to pick up the flag against the Cowboys, Game 6 of the 2002 WCF was rigged for the Lakers). But those sports are businesses, those are entertainment and they can run their show any way they want. I'm the sucker for believing it was legit.
  24. Hard Knocks? What's Hard Knocks? Joking.............
