Killing time until Sunday and saw this:
"The typical starting salary for a waterboy is $53,000 per year according to stack.com. However, with more experience one can earn a lot more than this. Waterboys are also provided with certain perks that can help push their salaries even higher."
Holy Oleo Batman!
However to be PC, shouldn't that be water person;)
I will not make excuses, Ms M, but, if you could go back [& I did via DVR] look at Marsh in front of the Steeler bench. Must have been hard feelings being let go from us a few months ago. This is what Jerry & I were talking about. This taunting rule makes me smh.Quote:

Ms M,
CeeDee Lamb gets fined $$$ for his clothing but Aaron Rodgers gets peanuts compared to that? Is this the craziest thing ever??
It's beyond the pale Moe!!!!!!
I love the game of football and I understand it's a business but to rephrase something I heard.... different sets of strokes, for different sets of folks. Same oh, same oh. shrugs
I'm doing football all day today and guess what I just heard, Justin Fields a rookie, is getting better at quarting backing by PLAYING quaterback! Attachment 19431 Who would have "thunk" :cool:
Who said that piece of wisdom?
Packers offering OBJ a "Veteran Minimum" contract??
Something I parahrased from one of the football shows. Can't remember which one. Been watching them all day. That reminds me.....LOL...I saw where Marsh was looking at the bench but Moe, he wasn't anywhere close to the bench. He was standing in the middle of the field AND DIDN'T SAY A WORD...but you know what I ain't mad at your Terrible Towels. We've had bad calls and gotten away with some calls too. LOLQuote:

He's made decent money during his career and if he's been smart, he should be in a good place financially but that has to be a big OUCH to the ego!
Packers don't have that much to spend [Cap Space].....I'll bet there's some incentives in there. I think he may turn it down. But, they're a top tier team.
The Jags have money, although OBJ and Meyer would be a disaster waiting to happen. LOL
"Currently, only nine teams have the cap space to pick Beckham off of waivers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter: Jacksonville, Philadelphia, Denver, Seattle, Carolina, the Los Angeles Chargers, Pittsburgh, Washington and Cincinnati. Per another report from Schefter, Beckham is prepared to create “potential issues” for a team that claims him, if the team is not in playoff contention. According to FiveThirtyEight, the only team with over a 50 percent chance to make the playoffs that also has the money to add Beckham via waivers is the Chargers. For reference, the Packers are 1 of 13 teams who have over a 50 percent chance to make the playoffs at this point in time."

Your first sentence made me laugh, Ms M because it's so true!!
According to NFL.com OBJ is going to "take his time." Yawn.......
He's still being paid by the Browns. Anything that he takes from another team is extra, so vet minimum isn't necessarily an insult. His next deal will be for more if he doesn't flame out with his new team.Quote:

So, R&B you don't think there are any rivalries that compare today?
What about Steelers/Browns or Steelers/Ravens? Or Packers/Chicago?
Just asking.......
Today...heck no with these rules...don't taunt,don't touch the qb, smile for the camera, domed stadiums[football is an outdoors game]those riveries still exist moe,but you know what i mean..i'm old school,back when those steelers linebackers would growl and take your head off if you dared run into em..that was football!!
HEY JERRY,I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS BUT THEM[defense playin]GIZZARDS ARE STILL WINNING[8-3]TIED FOR FIRST IN THE EAST,JERRY I AIN'T USED TO THIS,I KNOW IT'S VERY EARLY BUT I'M GETTING USED TO THEM WINNING[OPPS-did I say that out loud??]I HAD A NICE PAPER BAG ALL PICKED OUT FOR THIS SEASON, BUT I MAY NOT GET TO USE IT..HEY WAIT A MINUTE I CAN STILL WEAR IT ON SUNDAYS,THANKS JERRY, I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE ANSWER..YOU DA MAN!!!
Ya know, for someone who is constantly on the hooch you do make a lot of sense about it!!Quote:

A big part of why rivalries aren't what they used to be is due to reallignment which took natural and historical rivals out of each other's crosshairs. Remember when the St. Louis Cardinals, Dallas, Washington, New York Giants and Philly were the NFC East? Cardinals shipped out to Arizona and took some historical vitriol along with them. The division hasn't been the same since.
How about the Falcons, Rams, Niners and Stains being the short-handed NFC West? Rams and Niners still hate each other and Stains and Falcons really can't stand each other to this day, but Carolina and Tompa Boo aren't on the same level as the old days. How in the world would anybody expect Indianapolis to form a serious rivalry with Houston, Tennessee and Jacksonville? They're barely in the same country.
The closest thing to the old rivalries is the AFC North, NFC North and AFC East. They all have original divisional teams in them and coincidentally, they all have original franchise hate when they play each other.
Well that was another interesting game. I guess congrats to you Jerry. [[Enjoy a win while you can:D)
Great post and I had forgotten all about St. Louis.
"Tompa Boo" is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will you still love me when **oops, I actually meant to type** if Atlanta beats Dallas on Sunday? I promise to be gracious in victory.
Asking for a friend... :rolleyes:
LOL....I needed that laugh. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.;)
The Miracle of all miracles......Dolphins beat the Ravens!!! Steeler Twitter blew up faster than you could say free food!! That play near the goal line where [[Dolphins lineman 68 Hunt) would've been a TD had he been eligible. And wouldn't you know it; Steelers OLineman [& my personal fave] Kevin Dotson busts right through Twitter commenting about his college roommate [Hunt]. I have to replay this whole game.......
Oh, by the way......Ms M: we would've gone through a whole jar of olives on this game!! LOL;)
Moe, the Dolphins played their heart out. Teams are going into these games underestimating their opponent and getting smacked up side the head.
Ask me how I know? LOL
Put olives on list....check.:cool:

Not me. I'm watching the replay of the Jerry's Dolphins over the Ratbirds.:cool:
And I just saw Justin Tucker miss that Field Goal!!!!!!!!
Me either Moe. The Ram's have something to prove and the Niners suck. LOL
Ravens fell apart...crap happens!
