He’s going to be part of an ownership group for the Memphis Grizzlies. I don’t know how much of his time that requires but I doubt he wants to be a lowly QB coach.

Thought of the day.

Manning: 17/32 (53.125%), 145 (4.53 YPA), 2 TDs, 0 Ints, 3 sacks

Well, the thought of the day got me to thinking. So, here’s what I think.

A good D and a game-managing QB can win, but I’m also thinking that there has to be a little more output from the O than what the Rams were putting up.

Somewhere I seem to recall reading that the Rams needed 20 points per game to win. That was their magic number.

And, that’s what Denver put up yesterday. They just let it get a little toooooo close.

True but this wasn’t a good example to cite as support for that idea. Denver got lucky. They didn’t win the game as much as they didn’t lose it.

Yeah, they did get lucky. They had absolutely had no business giving up 2, not one, but 2, 4th down conversions on that last drive. 4th and 10 & 4th and 6, I believe. Geeze, major pucker time there.

The Broncos defense was getting worn down. You could see it.

The second half reminded me of a Rams game. The Broncos were getting heroic play from their defense while their offense kept going three and out. They needed Manning the weapon not Manning the game manager late in the second half. They were very fortunate to win. It was a great victory though.

However, I want an offense that can control a game like that. In the second half Denver’s offense couldn’t do anything. Because of that the Broncos were just trying to hold on while the Pats pried their fingers off the ledge one by one. Lucky for Denver the Pats ran out of time before the Broncos ran out of fingers.

It’s the 2 defenses.

Each with a completely different task in front of it.

Plus it’s the last meaningful football game for decades!

That’s right, decades!

0.05 decades.

I’m glad it’s Boras. Continuity with coordinators is what this team needs. All things being the same, even Case Keenum could win a lot of games next year

Well, I’m not sure Boras is a good coordinator yet but as people have said, with Fisher in the last season of his contract it was going to be hard to get a proven coordinator. They should have extended Fisher.

bnw you are going to love watching Rams games at 3:00 in the afternoon on Sundays. Just think, you’ll have the whole day pretty much to do whatever and you can still catch your favorite team.

Grits

Better yet 4 pm for me. I agree it is the best change for me. I hate 1 pm starts. Cracking open some beers after 4 pm is more to my liking and the day is mostly mine which is cool. Can go hiking in the mountains with my son then catch the game on the way home. Looks like I get a minimum of 11 late starts each season so I can probably drop Gamepass too. The sports bar in the next town always has an idle large projection screen room with sound at that time so it might be better in that I used to take my son to the place for years to watch the games but 10 years ago they changed the law where he couldn’t be admitted. Now he says we should go so he can beat me in shuffleboard. No one beats me in shuffleboard.

Where do you live, bnw?

I prefer 4 o’clock starts as well. Now I’ll be able to watch a full day of football. When the Rams lose I don’t feel like watching other games so the 1 o’clock starts meant I usually didn’t get to see the late games.

I will do my darndest to watch both games.

There’s only three games left then 6 months of oblivion.

Gentlemen, I am honored, every day to be a part of your world.

I feel the same way. It took a few moves to get here (PD board to the blue board to various versions of the herd to the huddle board to the buzz board and then to the huddle 2 board).

Just a few more moves, and we ought to have this thing perfected.

I hear Nittany snuck a double-secret clause into the board-contract.

If this board doesn’t finish in the lowest tier
it can be moved to

I’m moving the board to San Antonio in accordance with Stan’s plan to move the Rams there in 2021. Oops, did I say that out loud? Lord Kronke won’t be amused….

See, what makes it even harder is knowing that walking away from the Rams means walking away from news like this about the Nittany email. Where will I get my information about Nittany’s communications if I don’t stick around here? My bet? I won’t. Unless I find myself working for the NSA. Which is unlikely. Which means that I will probably never know about the email that Nittany gets when I walk away.

I have heard that Snowden has
the contents of the Nittany-email
in his files — but Snowden said the contents
are so shocking, so scandalous, that its better
if the American public remains in the dark.

It is to laugh.

NSA? Snowden?

Please.

I’ve used Klingon encryption technology to protect my emails. Pissants like the NSA and Snowden could never begin to understand it let alone crack it.

FOIA requests? Finally something useful.

You can never have enough toilet paper.

Thanks for posting that, Isiah.

I didn’t find the film particularly moving. I doubt it had the impact Demoff alluded to. The owners were swayed by dollar signs not nostalgia or sentimentality.

As you wish.

To summarize thus far…

1. zn sent an email to nittany.
2. zn posted a notification about said email on this forum addressed to nittany.
3. zn “bumped’ the notification on this forum to increase the likelihood that it would be observed by nittany.
4. The ‘bump’ had its desired effect and was observed by nittany. nittany read the email and replied.
5. nittany responded to zn that he replied to the email on this forum within the same thread that was originally established as a notification to nittany that zn had sent him an email.
6. zooey asked to be informed of any further developments pertaining to the email discourse between zn and nittany on this forum.

There. You should be pretty much up to speed. You will be notified of any further developments. Keep in mind the notification may take the form of a phone call at 3AM Pacific time.

More wins, huh?

Hmmm…

Would you settle for a new tie?

I saw it too. Good movie. As is often the case, the villain was more interesting than the hero. Hardy was excellent. Not to say Dicaprio wasn’t good too, cuz he was.

SPOILER ALERT

The scene where Hardy tells DiCaprio that all he has to do is blink and he will end this and watching DiCaprio helplessly struggling not to… awesome scene.
