Football Season

Another topic on rooting
In Tx the old farts would gather at local Dairy Queen on Monday Mornings and discuss the merits of local high school football, cuss or praise depending on whether the HS team won or lost' lots of discussion on college ball,...

Then came the Cowboys, their first year they lost eleven games the first year and tied one.
The Cowboys did not merit discussion.

We still have Dairy Queens, but they've done away with the booths, tables, our local Dairy Queen has two tables, strictly a 'to go' joint.
They want you to get your order, pay and leave.
Old farts are homeless.
 

Old D, K, and others
goggled Dad's root beer, you can order 12 bottles for $36.??. that's darn
expensive root beer.
Your in NY, K's in New England, Bonnie is from (Cleveland?) Ruthann location escapes my memory
Question: In the Detroit they had A and W drive ins-carhops...
sold delicious root beer floats -root beer (big mug) and scope of vanilla
ice cream. Good, good, good- you could get brain freeze if you were piggish.
None down in the part of the world (Tx)

topic has nothing to do with football or rooting, I guess you could make
them if you were a tailgate with a freezer.

Ah yes, root beer floats! Always loved them and still get one in the summer on occasion.

They also used to make Orange Floats with orange pop, which were also good, don't know if they still make them.

There is a small shop in the one-horse town near me with a couple indoor tables, and more outside. It's only open in the summer.

And in another near-by town (Naples, NY) there is a bigger ice cream shop. They even have car shows there on Wednesdays in the summer:

I've been a "casual" NFL fan for years. Then, last year, the KC Chiefs got a new quarterback....Patrick Mahomes....and that guy is really a hoot to watch. He became the NFL "player of the year" in his 1st regular season, and if he continues to improve, and doesn't get injured, he may become one of the best QB's of all time.
We've adopted the Chiefs since that rat Kroenke pulled the rug out from under St. Louis. Great team, so exciting to watch them win the Super Bowl!
 
That should hurt his endorsements when he retires.
You think?
All his great games were in New England; I don't want to remember him in
a Tampa Bay uniform.
 
I hadn't yet seen that the Bucc's were a definite. I know he is definitely leaving the Patriots.
I last heard that Chargers had also made a good offer, as well as the Bucc's.

He has his own personal, long-time TB12 logo and businesses that he can keep.
But all of those superbowl trophies and rings and photos, are Patriots.
 
Yes, I see it now....Brady to Bucc's. Okay......

Hi K, how are you?

Do you, or anybody here, remember the Buccaneers about 15-20 years ago? They had a running back that looked like Yosemite Sam -- real short legs. (He didn't have red hair or pistolies though).

It was funnier than hell watching him. He was pretty good actually, but the normal man's body with crazy short legs was hilarious. If memory serves, this was around when they won the SB, but I'm too lazy to Google it.
 
Dallas, dak Prescott wanted 20 million a season, the cowboys officered
105 million for a long term contact, utter nonsense.

Brady got Prescott and Cowboys off NFL channel-good.
I expected BB to retire also, wonder if he will.
It was Johnny U, then who? Montana, Brady was better than both.
I liked Elway, boy could he throw the ball.
I guess the best QB is the one that plays for your team.

the next week will be filled with: what are the Pats going to do without
Brady?
I hate the Yankees as they trounced my dodgers every year in the series;
however, you have to respect them.
I've come to respect the Pats, wish
Brady had stayed with Pats. wonder if he will have the anticipated impact Tampa Bay hopes for, I'm not sure what a 42 y/o will do with
a new team. There going to have to revamp offense until Brady gets used to their method.

Goggle says Michael Jordan is worth over two billion dollars.
he was making over 100 million on his endorsements in his day.
this world is crazy, just crazy

How 'bout Pats sign P.J. Walker, the star QB of the XFL ? ;)
I don't think they want to, so I don't believe that will happen!!:ROFLMAO:
But if so, you heard it here, first!
:sneaky:
 
It's mock draft time before the real thing in April ...so, from S.I. ......

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
As expected, the Bengals are listening to trade offers for quarterback Andy Dalton. With Dalton on his way out, the Heisman-winning Burrow is a virtual lock to take over for the soon-to-be outgoing incumbent. Described as “the real deal” after his interview with the Bengals, Burrow threw an FBS-record 60 touchdowns last season and rushed for five more. Poised in the pocket and throwing with pinpoint accuracy, Burrow nearly set the single-season record for completion percentage despite facing seven top-10 opponents en route to an undefeated season.
 
okay good, but are they going to have the offensive line to protect him, what about receivers, running backs...I'm not well informed of the Bengals players
enough to form a decision
Anyone out there know the supporting cast on Bengals?

Just a guess, but they probably aren't that great on a supporting cast, or they wouldn't be first to draft.. :ROFLMAO:.
They have AJ Green yet, but he's been around a long time
 
I sure need this bit of distraction topic, from multiple stresses, ....

I had wondered the same questions that
@jerry old asked, regarding whether Cincinnati Bengal's have offense line or receivers, to help Burrows to succeed ….
I too, know very little about that team. :unsure:

Then, the reply post from @Bonnie was so smart, (y)
Of course they don't, or they wouldn't have the #1 pick. :ROFLMAO:
I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. :LOL:

Who might go number 2?
Tua the other QB? Other Heisman trophy finalists? Who were they? Wasn't there one who was not a QB?
There must be some good players available for first round picks.
 
XFL players can be signed by NFL teams, starting tomorrow, Monday March 23rd.

Let's see if any do.

(Like the rest of you, I am not really interested either, but I am trying to do anything to hold onto my mental health and some balance of focuses, right now)

P.J. Walker , QB, to Pats?
 
Risk Adverse Problem

The Oakland Raiders were interested in Tom Brady, but never made a firm offer.
They were interested as their qb, David Carr has a "RISK ADVERSE"
problem.
I had to pause and try to figure out what 'Risk Adverse' meant when applied to football.
David Carr was reluctant to attempt a pass as he was/is afraid of throwing an
interception. The Raiders front office chooses to call it a Risk Adverse problem.
Now that I know what A Risk Adverse problem is, I know it has no place in a discussion about football.
 
PS... @jerry old ... not David, but Derek, the younger brother.

David is the one who was drafted by the Houston Texans in their inaugural season, and he became gun-shy after being thrown into a terrible situation. He didn't have a chance for success.
Must have rubbed off on his brother.
 
Strange but interesting, to call it "risk adverse problem" …..I too would not have had any idea what that meant, and might have thought it had to do with injury risks.....o_O

Also intriguing idea from Bonnie, that his brother's situation might have indeed rubbed off, as he may have seen and learned his brother's overly cautious play, or possibly even had been told by him to be careful not to throw....:unsure:
