Traveling by train can be pretty nice.
We took coach the entire way. From NOLA to Chicago it was rough and particularly around Memphis the other commenters were rude and flat out disrespectful, but from Chicago to Denver it was much smoother and the commuters were much nicer and respected the rules around the non commuter car.
Sleeping was a bit rough, but certainly not unbearable.
I decided that you probably meant "commuters" in that one sentence, though commenters was probably fairly appropriate. I expect to take a train to DC next year, and will get a roomette for that, as I don't have any desire to sleep in a coach seat for several days.Quote:

Sanders going in the 5th round was surprising. I heard Colorado has proposed retiring his number (someone else too but I can't remember the name). I thought that was strange considering they didn't retire any ones number from their national championship team.Quote:

To be honest, I'm surprised that the Saints picked that guy from Louisville over him. Gayle Benson needs to sell the team if she can't bring herself to fire Mickey Loomis.
The draft is such a crap shoot. Being a football fan for over 50yrs I've seen first rounders after first rounders flop. I believe Brady was a sixed round choice. Though your odds of picking a pro bowler improves with someone that has demonstrated high quality athletic skills.
Some teams do tend to produce more pro bowlers than others. Is it their drafting skills or their coaching skills?
I tend not to get very excited about the draft. The NFL is a different beast than college football. Though it does feel like the QB's coming out of college now are able to preform at an NFL level more quickly.
Hard up come with how this guy thought this was right. https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/s...ich-rcna203222
Feel bad for Sanders. The draft was rough enough without this happening to him.
Yeah, I had seen that. Really messed up.
He really needed people to tell him that was a bad thing to do?
Yeah, he was sixth round, and Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant, the final pick of the draft.Quote:

That means that EVERYBODY they face in the NFL will be about as good as the best they face in college. Hard to prepare for that.
I guess so. It's not like calling someone and asking if their refrigerator is running.Quote:

Wish you'd quit using words I have to lookup the meaning. :wave:Quote:
