"(A sign of personal growth:…

"(A sign of personal growth: I only thought and believed these things. I did not tweet them.)" -hysterical.  I of course, though not tweeting, did go immediately into meltdown mode much to the dismay of my wife after the first Gopher TD.  I hadn't had one of those tantrums since February or March :(

Yeah - Dead for me too.  I saw them at Crisler in '89.

Rocco's dad seems a little toxic...probably the source of Rocco's mean streak.  Best of luck to him with the Irish.

Yep - as usual, it's the "adults" ruining everything for the rest of us.

NB:  By "adults," I mean ethicless, gangster fuckwits.

All due respect to Liverpool…

All due respect to Liverpool for their outstanding season, but sheesh, if my beloved MUFC was third, then you know the EPL was garbage this year.  Well, I'll take third and a Champions League slot anyways.

His story and the name…

His story and the name change are why I'm going to give WFT one more chance before I completely give up on them.  I may reconsider recanting my fandom if Snyder gets the fuck out of Dodge...such an asshole.

I would recommend the Outlander series. It's good historical fiction with a little time travel thrown in for good measure. Much better than it sounds from my description.

I also recently read One Second After by William Forstchen. The other books in the series are good as well. I read them one after the other.

I like lawyer books... and some psychological thrillers as well.

This thread could turn me into a Wolverine Fan. :)

Gabriel Allon series by…

Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva - good light reading for action and espionage stuff.  Israeli counter-terrorist group and their fight against various enemies, including former Nazis, terrorists and Russians.  Good stuff.

Washington Nationals'…

Washington Nationals' reliever Sean Doolittle said it best:  "Sports are like a reward for a functioning society."  By no measure are we really functioning right now, I hate to say.

RFK Stadium during peak Gibbs years was incredible.  The whole city was obsessed with the team.

LOL my wife is a Broncos fan, and she gets PISSED when I talk about that game, even though we were completely unrelated at the time.

Yeah that '91 team was very, very good.  Great defense.  The '83 team that lost to the Raiders in the SB was really good too.

I was at U-M when they won the '88 Super Bowl.  Watched the game at a dorm-mate's parent's house in Birmingham or somewhere like that.  This was the game when they scored 35 points in the second quarter after falling behind 10-0.  Timmy Smith, who came out of nowhere, rushed for 200+ yards and Doug Williams tore the Broncos apart.

RIP Coach Bugel - so many great memories growing up in the DC area with those teams.  3 Super Bowl wins

Had a few good laughs reading this - thanks, Ace.

Weird game, but U-M went on a tear the rest of the season until the unironic finale for Bo in the very same Rose Bowl.

That's pretty hard core.  I've never seen two football games in one day in person.

The talk about drones above reminds of the incident my buddy, his son and his father-in-law experienced.  Xmas a few years ago, my buddy bought his son a drone, which they promptly lost in a field next door in possibly 30 seconds.  That spring, they got another drone, which, you guessed it, disappeared in a similar amount of time.  The good news was when they looked for the second drone, the found the first one which had clearly been run over by a tractor.  lol

As the kids say, "LEL."  Can anyone think that there is a remotely viable chance that McCaffrey (or anyone) this year is a Heisman candidate?  What in the team's history over Harbaugh's tenure would make someone think a QB we have is a Heisman candidate?  The best QB we have had in the current regime is a transfer, Jake Ruddock.

Driving through Baltimore on I-95 one would often see USNS Comfort (I believe) at a mooring.  It is pretty awesome, and there is a positive psychological impact of a big white ship with big red crosses on it.
