D-League

[MdWIldcat55]

I just heard a classic back-handed compliment. Joe Burrow said the Bengals' offense line play last night against the Dolphins was "the best O-Line performance I've played behind in the NFL."

Uh, Joe. You do realize all your other NFL games were behind Bengals offensive lines, so all you are really saying is the horrible O-line play you've been forced to endure got a slight bit less horrible.

If he had thrown in LSU, that might have been impressive. I'd guess the boys in Baton Rouge had a better o-line than Cincy.

Joe is saying the right things but that just struck me as very funny.

Scottish history and green eyes here. Hazel but mostly green.

I seem to be German, Irish, and Scottish from what I've been told. I have hemochromatosis which is an inherited disease of Irish and German decent so I think that part is correct anyway. (Both parents had to be of Irish and German decent from what I understand from the slight reading I have done.)

Nothing but brown (Eyes and hair) except where I have gray.

I was a towhead all of my childhood and youth and my hair still gets blond in the sun. Some cousins from dad's side of the family are redheads, Scot-Irish, and most of my cousins from mom's side were born blonde and still have light hair in adulthood. A few days in the sun and it would turn blond. Mother had a grandmother who was 100% German.

Well the "Killer" is 87 years old today. I admit in 1957 I didn't think he would make it to 1960 but he has outlived them all. "It goes to show you never can tell"

One of my favorites was an old Sun Record song he recorded written by Hank, Sr.

A long read, but very interesting if you like boxing.

Sonny Liston: The mysterious death that haunts boxing

Sonny Liston was found dead at his Las Vegas home in 1971. A coroner concluded he died of natural causes - but some say the truth is darker.

I've been to about 20 of his concerts.

They are a hybrid so they will not get the blight.

Thanks. I knew there was work towards that but didn't know how successful the effort was.

I guess when the Christmas Song was first recorded, there were still a few original trees left or it was nostalgia for a happier time.

Was Liston a good singer? 😁

I am red haired, blue eyed, large nose et.al.

I am 42% scot by DNA. Of course the next generation is mixed even more.

thank God for the United States where all the curs can interbreed.

"Thank you, FPL (Florida Power & Light)".

Heh, guess her lights are back on. Good stuff.

He is saying that. Bungles realized last year's OL was awful & spent a lot to add three better experienced guys. Either they haven't jelled yet or the Bungles wasted a lot of money.

The Governor is giving a press conference at this very moment and covering this. He is amazed at the speed the utilities are doing their job. Most of the state will have power by this weekend.

The only exception are the areas right on the water where the storm surge completely wiped out the system and it will have to be rebuilt. But if repairs are only replacing lines and poles that is going extremely fast.

Another interesting factor is there is more water damage in Central Florida than the coastal counties. Flooding is historic and as he described it a 500 year event. Some areas had 20 inches and the rivers were not emptying into the Gulf to compound the problem. Polk County was a prime example of this around the Peace River. Same with the St Johns River. It is flooding at record levels but it is big and empties into the Atlantic up in Jacksonville.

I'm half way through this book and it's an enjoyable/informative read even though it's historical fiction. I never heard of the Mitcham Beat War back in 1890s Alabama. Bloody.

My sister lives in Sanford and she lost her power yesterday at around noon. Haven't heard if it's back on or not.

October. Bratwurst month!!

 

[BBUK]

My son stated the winds got rough but he never lost power in Gainesville. I am thankful... May have forgot to mention. I found out I will be a grandpa again in a few months. My son's girl friend has a daughter who I haven't met yet but I will unless the Lord takes me home so I actually have five grand children already as I see my son marrying his girl friend. (He is that kind and I think this one is a keeper from my close observations. She is also a nurse at his hospital... (I don't miss much.)) Six grand babies...................... OUCH! (With the Love of God.) Like I tell my kids, I have plenty of love to spread around. Just plenty...

You all have a great evening, I am going to drink a Yuengling, been a few days. Just me and My Darling the last couple days and she is laying down listening to her talk shows. (Has had a rough cough the last few days. Just got back from Walgreen's a few minutes ago.)

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F, clear and calm. Today's high expected around 88°F.

Game Day! Let's Go Cats and beat the Rebels! Zaxby's opens around 10:00 am CST. Plan on sitting in drive-thru line by 10:30 am. Got some beer brewed in Lexington by Mirror Twin ready in the fridge for later. Longhorns play tonight at DKR here in ATX.

Taking a hike here after bit. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Saturday Morning

Game Day and I feel good. This is another important one and a win would be another huge step forward.

We have a very pleasant 59° with clear skies and winds at 2mph. Today will be sunny with a high expected to reach 78° and low humidity. Perfect weather if you like the outdoors. Hurricane Ian is gone from our shores now and the work continues to clean up the mess left behind. Several communities have been changed forever. I received word one of my friends and former neighbors lost two boats. One very large one that he had tied up on the pier at his house and another one he used to fish but it was only 26'. His large boat was similar to the ones stacked up in the picture below. His house got hammered too. Continue to keep those who lost so much in your thoughts and prayers.

Time for another cup of coffee.

I am in the mood for some bratwurst. This may be a perfect day for it.

Good morning D-League. We currently have a light rain and 50° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring more showers and a high of 56°.

Go Cats!

Everyone stay safe on this Saturday.

Bring your speed boats.

Good morning all,

Scammers never sleep. Be vigilant...(More to follow.)

Go CATS!!!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning all,

Scammers never sleep. Be vigilant...(More to follow.)

Go CATS!!!

This is good advice for anyone who has damage from the storm. Scammers will be swarming down here like flies on whatever. Yesterday afternoon I started receiving recorded messages from Public Adjusters who are at the top of the list with attorneys for leaches following a storm. I have been blocking their calls since. They are calling and I didn't get any damage. Nothing.

Anyone who signs up with these leeches best beware. You are a money maker for them and nothing else. Have enough sense to read and understand your insurance policy and deal with them direct. If you feel something is not right and are getting screwed that is why states have insurance commissioners. Contact them. Consumer.Services@myfloridacfo.com

Another scam will be from roofers. Watch out who you hire. You will be reading horror stories in the days and weeks to come as repairs get started. Pick wisely. Most of us who have been here a long time understand but we have so many new residents they are easy picking for scammers. And scammers know that.

Trouble with these noon games is I can't drink this early to calm my nerves.

Have not yet tried that brand. My fave krauts are Hengstenberg and Kühne. Add some Thomy mustard on your brats. Heaven.

I spent a total of 11.5 years in Germany minus deployments. Married to a German for a few years. While we ate brats and kraut at home quite often, I never saw an Imbiss (snack-bar/snack stand) offer sauerkraut with bratwurst. Most brats purchased on the street or train station over there are served with mustard and a bread roll.

 

[vhcat70]

^ W/o spicy mustard & horseradish, a brat is nothing.

Bratwurst and pomfritz (excuse the spelling) just a heavenly German street cart experience...

I don't know if I trust my guide on my cable, but they show UK vs Ole Miss on ESPN and the SEC Network. Have any of you seen this?

If so the SEC Network may not stray off to the Yankees.

Good morning D-League. Hoping for a great day for the Cats.

Back from my Saturday hike - 20,000 steps so far today.

I got in a mood as I walked along to listen to music from my late teens that I associate with moving from one town to another following pipeline jobs -- places like Cisco, Utah and Sterling, Colorado and Wibaux, Montana, and Tonsina, Alaska.

This old Ian Tyson song was a favorite. I remember hearing him describe on a talk show how he wrote it in 20 minutes in a basement club in Greewich Village, thinking about his girlfriend back in British Columbia. I think Bobby Bare had the first popular version. But as I get older this Johnny Cash version done very late in his life really moves me. "All these things that won't change, come what may..." Love that line.

My problem is any game dealing with ESPN is not going to be shown on Dish. Should be good to go if you have another cable service.

I would call DirecTV or cable. Dish needs to pay up. Without sports I would not need cable very often outside of news.

I really got into Johnny Cash's music in my 20s...I remember a musician saying if Cash covers your song it's not your song anymore, it becomes a Cash song. Nine Inch Nails did the song 'Hurt' and their version sucks, towards the end of his life Johnny Cash did it and it was one of my favorite songs ever.

Not sure if this is true, but Dish saying Disney wants a billion dollars more in new contract.
