wvParticipantJohnson, cause I think he will be the better value.
The idea of ‘value’ being that you can sign Tru
and then have more money left over to do
other things you need to do?w
vwvParticipantSomewhere I seem to recall reading that the Rams needed 20 points per game to win. That was their magic number.
I just went through the Rams schedule last season.
If the Rams had scored exactly 20 points in every single game last season, they would have ended up with a record of 7-9.
As opposed to their actual record of 7-9.
DeMarco Farr stated that during one of the game’s broadcast this season. 20 points was the magic number…..
Check your math… Rams would be 9-7, potentially 10-6 if you count the Vikings game if the Rams score 20 in regulation.
20 points would’ve resulted in victories in Baltimore, Minny and vs Steelers.

Oooh, an Algebra Battle
between JoeMad and Zooey.I love the offseason.
I doubt if i watch the SuperBowl
this year. Though I’d smile if it was a low-rated, old-school,
knockdown, mudbowl, game that ended 4 to 0.
In overtime.Next year the Rams will win ten games,
the Rams will make the playoffs,
and every poster on every board
will sing the praises of
Jeffrey Michael Fisher.w
vwvParticipantI’m still wonderin why Fisher got rid of Jeff Garcia.
Fisher kinda raved about Garcia,
and found a spot for him, and then dumps him
after one year. Wonder why?w
vDidn’t Garcia say something about being QB? Maybe they are going to give him a try out?
I would rather have Bert Jones.

vwvParticipantSo Disney couldn’t work magic cuz all they had was a stadium.
Yeah, Disney was stuck with the non-magical
facts.It wasn’t about the ‘presentation’
it was the facts that the presentation
showed.w
vwvParticipantPassing game cant get any worse,
right?Thats all i got.
w
vwvParticipantPeyton’s stats didnt look impressive.
Looks like Defense and a game-managing-QB
can still win.w
vwvParticipantThe lemur is right. Only 1 inch here.
Lemurs are always right.
I dunno how much we got. Looks like
about 18 inches or so. I love
the quiet. No traffic on the roads.Friend of mine spent half the night
making a snow-maze.w
vwvParticipantI cant imagine this lame version of Peyton
getting further than almost all of the healthy
versions of Peyton. I just cant see it.So, Denver will probly win, of course 🙂
w
vwvParticipantWell–it’s here–and they weren’t lying.
Let the dog out today and she bravely(with a tap on the butt)went out into the snow and promptly turned around and looked at me and said with her dog face: “Are you fucking nuts?”
And came back inside.
I must shovel her a path.
I could be wrong, but I ‘think’ this is the most
I’ve ever seen in one night. Man.w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantThe Great Snow of 1943
So in the midnight the great snow
Covered over the dark ground;
Feet were hobbled and wheels spun;
The hydrants smothered, sank, drowned.The great snow bandaged the street lights,
And banked the doors of the bright shops
And hid the hot little cars deep,
And mounded over the train tops.Careless and pure, the snow fell.
This was the finish, we all knew.
So man expired in a white dream.
It seemed like a damned good idea, too.Morris Bishop.
wvParticipantFor me it’s all about Carolina/Arizona.
For me its all about shoveling the driveway.
Or…finding the driveway.
w
vwvParticipant“…it’s fair to wonder how difficult it will be for them to add to their staff with Fisher entering the fifth and final year of his contract.”
Gee thats so obvious
but i never thot of it.w
vYeah, but it depends on the contract they offer Shurmur. Or anyone else. Are they guaranteed money? For how long? Is it tied to Fisher’s deal?
Fisher isn’t going anywhere. In fact, I will be surprised if he isn’t extended before the end of the season.
Really? An extension before the end of the season?
I suppose so, but only if he has a winning record
after ten games or so.w
vwvParticipantWell a lot of us cant afford subscriptions
so, it would be nice if people who can access
the articles, would post the article
and not just the Link.w
vwvParticipant“…it’s fair to wonder how difficult it will be for them to add to their staff with Fisher entering the fifth and final year of his contract.”
Gee thats so obvious
but i never thot of it.w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantWeakest group, by far — TE. Truax and Hollohan.
Good players, but…an ALL-Time team? Nah
w
vwvParticipantI havent said this in a long time, but you guys — this small
group of outcasts and science-geeks, and atheist-mystics,
and dog-lovers, is a joy to post with. Yall are so
fucking funny, too.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

deals Snisher has ever made.Sign the man.
I really wanna see Barron and Ogletree on the field
at the same time.w
vwvParticipantI’m submitting a FOIA request for the contents of said email to be disclosed.
The board demands transparency.
Sure. Went like this.

Nittany–I want to start a thread on the huddle about email notifications. You in?

zn–thank gawd this isn’t another one of your endless emails trying to sell me yet another one of your daughter’s woebegotten hand-knit scarves. For that reason alone, yes, I’m in. PS did you know that birds are really dinosaurs?

I would gladly pay you Tuesday
for a woebegotten hand-knit scarf.But only if its a throw-back. Blue and White.

“Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ….get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.”
— Abraham Joshua Heschel“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state–it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle….
Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions.”

An nfl campus.
What will they teach there?

vwvParticipantSee, 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.w
vwvParticipantLOL….
thanks guys, I needed some comic relief. Every artice about the move that I read makes me nauseaus. I dreamt about this stuff last night.
I’m truly sorry brother. There is nobody that doesn’t think it sucks big time.
When they left California, I didn’t know if I could watch again. But that September, there they were, the same guys I had been cheering for, in the same uniforms, playing in Green Bay. Isaac Bruce. Chris Miller. The same guys.
In September, you will turn on the tv and see TGII in that same uniform running behind that same line, with Aaron Donald in the middle of the line. Any you will root for them like you always have I predict. But the feeling of loss takes a long time to go away.

Well its possible that some of the local St.Louis posters
are really just fed up with Zooey, you know.
I mean he’s brought down whole worlds, before.
Whole boards, even.I’m just floating the idea, you understand.
I’m not insisting on it. Just say’in.w
vwvParticipantPlease keep all of us updated on your continuing email interaction.
It’s a slow time of year.
It looks to ‘me’ from what I’ve pieced together,
that zack informed Nittany of an alleged email.
And Nittany claims to have replied.Seems pretty clear that from that
we can deduce that Kronky planned on
moving the team as far back as 1945,
and that Fisher cant draft long-snappers.w
vwvParticipantThey said Roman would be doing an audio spot.
w
vwvParticipantAll true but its even worse. Kroenke’s refusal to work with Clinton torpedoed the Stallions expansion bid. Then Kroenke was allowed to buy in at 40% of the Rams to keep the team in St. Louis. Then Kroenke screws over Khan’s attempt to buy the team only because Kroenke wanted to move it to LA since 2002. He has an iron clad out of his contract and knows he is moving the team based off that alone but needlessly trashes the metro bi-state area to prevent any chance at landing another NFL team.
Still though, all of that is on the Billionaire-weasel-Owner.
Can you separate the anger toward him
from the players and team? The players
had zero to do with any of this. A lot of em
probly didnt even want to go to LA. Their kids
and families were in St Louis.I mean Aaron Donald is a blue-collar
warrior from Pitt. He played his butt
off in St.Louis. Ya know.Horns. Horns iz good, aint they?
w
vwvParticipantBNW, you didn’t upset me. I apologize for not being clear. I just get frustrated when I hear stuff like, for example, Big Pharma is suppressing a cure for profit. If that were the case, then the industry would not have made the strides we have seen with HIV. Now that disease was a cash cow if there ever was one, due to myriad associated diseases it spawns, including various cancers. Cancer is a tough, mean bastard. Just getting new drugs through Phase 1-3 clinical trials can cost a billion and of course may not prove efficacy or have legs to allow a patient to live just a few more months.
The other thing you mentioned, that cancer can go away by itself, untreated. That’s what’s known as spontaneous remission. This lucky group accounts for two percent of patients and doctors\researchers can’t explain it. If I were to get cancer, and most of us will if we live long enough, I wouldn’t leave it untreated. That’s just suicide. I followed two individuals on FB who decided to forgo SBM for quackery and woo. Like diet, Gerson therapy (juicing fruit and vegetable all day combined with coffee enemas) and holistic\naturopathic “medicine.” One died within the time frame for untreated BC, about 18-24 months is the median. The other is about to have a fungulating (sp) tumor burst from her skin. She’s treating it with black salve, which is like acid.
The charlatans I mentioned take advantage of patients like these to make a profit themselves (see Natural News for one) and there’s a special place in hell for those fuckers. As my wife’s caregiver and advocate, I did my D&D and was shocked at what is shilled out there (cannabis oil, essential oils, mistletoe, vitamin c IVs, veganism and laetrile, which has been re-branded as Vitamin B-17. To name just a few) to vulnerable, scared people. SBM cancer treatment -conventional- is not easy to endure. My wife did pretty well in her first go round. But she also thought juicing and a vegan diet would prevent recurrence. She read that somewhere. It didn’t.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. This -is- personal for me. And now, too, for my brother.
Thanks for the kind words, by the way, gentlemen.
I tend to agree on the ‘new-age cures,’ Ozone.
But then I don’t really know much about what the actual
research shows.I read a little book called “snake oil science” a while back
and it helped me understand that a LOT of alternative med-stuff
has never really demonstrated that its better than a placebo.Anyway, I’m glad you are posting here. I wish we could all go
back and have a ‘do-over’ on a lot of that ugliness that
tore the old board apart. Ah well.w
vwvParticipant…’m not at all surprised it fell out the way it did, but it wasn’t a sure thing, so I think Costas overstates all of that. I thought he was good on the inherent nature of violence in football and the way he distinguished it from domestic violence, steroids, corruption of the NCAA and so on.
When I heard, though, that Glenn Frey is dead and realized they were going to talk about that, I ejected, because I always loathed the Eagles.I loathed the Eagles too.
Even with Bradford.w
vwvParticipantYeah. Stan was not interested in St. Louis at all. Plan B may have been London. He wasn’t after a new stadium. He was after Something Bigger.
Yes, something bigger. Money, power, ego, etc, etc.
The Usual.And when Georgia/Shaw took the team away from LA,
it was much the same. Mainly money.What did you think of the Costas audio.
He talks about this stuff.w
