Yeah, that's pretty good. Not totally sold on Joe Burrow, but that means that Mixon is going to do well.
I'm not a Fantasy Football player, myself. There's just too much of it around.
Race that was the post.
First past that post.
Who’s on post?
What’s on race?
The post race was
becoming
waayyyyy to serious.
For the Browns to win the AFC North they have to get past the ex-Browns and I really don't see that happening even without half the freakin' team on injured reserve.Quote:

At least you catch a bit of a break this week.
Wow, the Browns are more beaten up than I had realized. That's a whole lot of missing pieces. They were lucky to get by Denver.
We may be getting enough rain in the next few days to make even those in Louisiana think it's at least humid. I know I shouldn't be getting my hopes up, but when it comes to rain, we're so frequently disappointed that hopes are all we usually get.
Apparently Baker Mayfield fractured his shoulder?!
Humerus, but it's really not that funny.Quote:

Alec Baldwin's prop gun has killed more people than my real gun has.
Too soon?
It was like the day after Challenger that NASA stood for need-another-seven-astronauts. Seems humor as a band aide is a real thing.
Yeah, it was a bit too soon...I had no idea what you were talking about. You kind of have to wait until the news gets out there before you can joke about it without a 'hunh???"
Still, it was a weird story. At first, I assumed the gun was loaded with blanks. This wouldn't be the first time that somebody was killed by a blank. Blanks still shoot 'stuff' with enough force to blow a hole through a can. In this case, though, it sounds like somebody put a live round in a prop gun....though as I write this, it was just reported that it isn't clear whether there was a live round or not.
We're getting the rain, so far, and Sunday is supposed to be the big day.
Praise the lord.

Weird, the image has a preview in the forum test but none here.
Heck, it doesn't just lack a preview, it isn't even valid. This is an issue that people have been having. I expect that somebody around here knows how to solve it, but that person is not me.
Yesterday, in a little deli just one suburban town away from New Haven, CT, this here went down...
I decided I wanted a turkey sandwich on a roll, went in to the deli - half a dozen people already waiting for orders. Mother with maybe a 4 year old, climbing on chairs and being the only life in the whole place.
Standing in front of me is a nicely dressed youth - all in black, sneakers, pants, hoodie tied close around his face. His order comes up - he quickly grabs an orange juice he had stashed in the ice cream cooler at the front - hoping to get it colder, I assume. I thought - smart move!
Overweight guy sitting at a small table at the front - eating his lunch - he can see out the window...
Kid with hoodie processes his credit card - my order comes up next - my credit card goes into the machine...
Kid goes out the front door - I'm punching in my CC PIN...
Bang- bang - bang - silence...
CC machine beeping for me to remove the card...
I turn around and everyone has moved to the back of the store - hiding behind coolers and clutching children...
Little 4 year old girl lost her shoe - it's right on the floor next to me.
...bang - bang - bang - bang - silence...
Guy at the front eating like nothing is going on!
Joe - the owner casually asks someone to lock the front door.
...bang - bang - bang - bang...
The opposing silence to these bangs was remarkable...
I finally realize these are gun shots right outside on the sidewalk (I'm obviously late for the game on this one!) - and I decide to move to the back with the rest of the folk...
I hand the little girl her shoe - her mom thanks me...
CC machine still beeping for me to remove the card...
Joe on the phone with the cops...
3 or 4 minutes of slow motion continues for all in the store...
Guy at the front mentions that the shooter has ran across the street into some backyards - Joe unlocks the front door.
I realize my CC is beeping away in the machine - grab it - Joe hands me my lunch in bag, and out the door I go.
I looped around my car looking for bullet holes, hop in, and pull out onto the main drag as three cop cars come flying in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to same deli today, they tell me that the shooter went out the door, saw a car with rival gang members and just started unloading bullets into the car as it drove away (on a busy 4 lane avenue!). 11 shell casings were recovered - all around my car since he was shooting from the sidewalk. Joe told me they taped off the whole street - I was lucky to get out while I could! Passenger was wounded - cops waited for that car at the hospital. Shooter used a CC - cops know who he is, unless that was a stolen card...
Wow, that's insane! I'm glad that you're alright.
The guy eating his lunch probably figured it was just the entertainment.
Must have french blood : I'll die but with a stomach full !
@dday9: didn't forget you, I just didn't had time to make all the research I wanted. Give me a bit more time.
Strange the perceptions you have without even knowing it. I never pictured gang violence in CT. Living in CA all I picture in CT is rich white people and the movie White Christmas. Glad your Ok.
lol same!Quote:

Oh no! I'm so sorry!
I actually first thought you had a REALLY shiny floor. Then I realized what it actually was. DDay totally understands you.
Flooding is one thing I don't have to worry about....well, at least not flooding from outside. Flooding from inside is a different matter, as plumbing issues could happen. Outside, I'm essentially on the source ground. Water flows downhill from where I'm at, when there is water to flow.
I'm about half-way up an inclined road - so if I get outside flooding then we're into Noah territory. However I few months ago I did have an inside water leak. I have a couple of wood floorboards in the kitchen just laid and not nailed so that I can get easy access to the floor void. I noticed that there was a ridge where 2 met and that they were now overlapping. When I took them up I discovered a leaking water pipe joint and the dampness had warped the floorboards. Luckily the leak wasn't bad and the water was only in one place which was fairly easy to get out. After having the joint fixed I left the floor boards up for a few days so that the void dried out. Everything is now OK. However I hate to think if all the floor boards had been nailed...
We get flooded almost annually but that was the highest one we've experienced. A colleague and his family went to the top of their roof since the flood was higher than him already, I think he is 5'7". Many families suffered the same fate, they were already on top of their roofs during the typhoon.
When I lived in the Florida Keys, I couldn't convince my landlady that she had to evacuate if a category three or higher storm was going to hit the Keys. She said we were on the high ground, which was kind of true, but we were at seven feet. She felt that a storm surge was nothing but big waves. I couldn't convince her that the ocean level could rise 12 feet, or more, which would make the house pretty doggone wet.
Never did get hit, though.
At least not yet. But you know it's just a matter of time.Quote:

Yeah. On average, the Keys get hit once every seven years, but when I was there, they hadn't had a hurricane in decades. Much, perhaps even most, of the development down there had happened after the last big hurricane. There was a fair amount of speculation as to what would happen when it DOES get hit again.Quote:

By the way, as you know, the Browns now suck...but so does the entire AFC.
I'm a bit baffled by some of the teams, this year.
Come on, don't insult the whole AFC just because the Browns let you down. Some of us still like our teams. lolQuote:

Having grown up in New England, you can probably guess which team I'm a fan of, though I tend to follow the whole league.
Still, I might as well insult the whole AFC, this year. The three best teams are all in the NFC, and it's not clear whether a team from the AFC can crack the second three. The AFC is just a mess. How the heck can the Bengals lose to the Jets? Either the Jets made the Bungles look bad, or the Bungles made the Jets look good...and the Jets certainly aren't good.
Now your just trying to sound like sapator. The Bengals are much better this year but being a consistent winner isn't easy in the NFL. Especially for a team that hasn't been a winner for a long time. Every team has talent and a lot of the time one or two key plays will determine the outcome.Quote:

I agree that the NFC has the three or four strongest looking teams at this point of the season but I disagree that the whole AFC is a mess. I even believe the Browns can still be a factor if they can get healthy.
Well, SOMEBODY has to win the conference. Going into the season, I thought that the top teams would be Bills, Browns, Titans, and Chiefs. The chiefs are really struggling to an amazing extent. The things that made them so good for the last couple years just aren't working. The Titans are going to win a super weak division, and the Bills are very likely to do the same, but the Browns need to get healthy. The AFC north has always been a dogfight, though.
Yeah, no one in the AFC is making a dominate statement by blowing people away. I'm not impressed by the Bills, Ravens, Titans, Chiefs. The Raiders are playing better than I thought but they have some real problems with their offensive line and running the ball. But there's 10 more weeks left, plenty of time for any of these teams to get healthy, gel start playing better. Unfortunately there is also plenty of time for injuries to players.
I read the Ram's got Von Miller from Denver, that's scary. He's not in his prime but that defense was real good without him, now it should be even better.
At the end of the year, "there can only be one".
There can be only one!
Bungles will be Bungles and Browns will be Browns. Should be a good game between them on Sunday.
A Browns win and an ex-Browns loss moves the Browns from last place to a half game out of first.
Been a strange season so far and it's only week 9.
