  1. Been spending time across the pond with family and my Irish sister in law pulled up The Young Offenders for us to watch in the evenings. Highly recommend if you like sitcoms but I would recommend watching with subtitles as the Irish accent from Cork (where filmed) is laid on thick.
  2. Iā€™m curious about how Buffalo and regular nickel differ. Apologies for lowering the tone of the discussion somewhat but (as an immigrant to this country) what I learned about football over the years came primarily from playing madden. Madden has Nickel formation in most playbooks and Big Nickel available in some. The principal difference seems to be where the 5th DB lines up. Weak side in Nickel and strong side in Big Nickel. Is Maddenā€™s Big Nickel equivalent to the Buffalo Nickel you guys are talking about?
  3. I seem to recall reading that they brought in Dantzler for a more veteran leadership role. Reading between the lines, it seems thereā€™s no clear leader in the DB room. Fuller is most senior (followed by Curl) but seems to be a quiet guy and heā€™s potentially a short timer anyway. The others are all young and still finding their way. They just significantly retooled their defensive back field but this is now a very young group. Dantzler may be needed to help teach these kids to be pros
  4. For what itā€™s worth, I came away with the same impression
  5. We are not surprised though, right? Filling positions of ā€œNeedā€ has been Ronā€™s MO since heā€™s been in place. However, it can be argued that for a team this consistently mediocre, you could throw a dart at a list of positions and always hit an area of need. Not much has changed..
  6. Do we have a new O-line coach yet? Last time I looked no one was listed as such and I donā€™t recall seeing any new signings.
  7. Yeah OT or trade back would have been ideal at 16 but s*** happens soā€¦ I was meh on the Forbes pick as well but it does make sense to me. The correlation between turnovers and odds of winning games requires no explanation. Only 5 teams that failed to reach double digits in INTā€™s last year and guess who was one of them? Rivera clearly saw Forbes and his ball-hawking skills as an impact player capable of immediately improving those numbers and consequently increasing odds of winning in our favor.
  8. ā€œSheā€ will be missed! Huge talent and so, so funny. RIP Barry
  9. Dougel: ā€œTed, is it true Jack once had a trial for Liverpool?ā€ (Reference to soccer tryout) Ted: ā€œNo Dougal. Jack was once on trial IN Liverpool!ā€..
  10. My family are huge fans of the lads from Craggy Island, so itā€™s always fun to see Jackā€™s ugly mug! Mine has some basis in Sacred Geometry or Alchemy, I think. I donā€™t recall honestly..
  11. Negative on both counts. It will require power and an independent circuit/& circuit breaker. No such thing as an ac unit that produces its own power. it doesnā€™t require ductwork however The Mr Cool brand is not familiar to me and I was in the ac business for many years. After years of trial and error, we settled on Mitsubishi as the ONLY brand of mini splits we would install. Best overall quality, customer service and more importantly, access to repair parts. Youā€™re going to need them eventually

  13. I have no dog in this fight but thereā€™s a vid out there of Logan Paulson, Craig Hoffman and John Keim talking about the possible OC candidates. In it, Keim and Paulson speculate on the possibility of the new OC wanting to bring staff along with him. Consensus is that Ron would not want to ā€œrebuildā€ the current staff.
  14. Saw that tour too. LA Sports Arena.. One of a kind bill.. ****ty sound. Sports Arena has/had a tin roof and the sound was horrific! Highly recommend the film of him at Ronnie Scottā€™s in London. First rate audio and video.
  15. Kliff Kingsbury is available but I donā€™t know anything about his system or if it would be a match for Howell
  16. Itā€™s a toss-up between Spurrier and the bingo caller, whose name escapes me. But was the bingo caller actually Snyder?? if not, Spurrier is the worst, for sure
  17. Came of age listening to these guys. Been with me and giving joy for so long it's like they're embedded in my DNA...
