    You guys might think that this is stupid, but...

    My wife has got me hooked on Our Town, on HGTV. Great young couple who have made it their mission to renovate her small hometown of Laurel, Mississippi. 

    Love their passion and love their desire to take a rundown and declining town and bringing it back to life. The talents they were both have are amazing.

    Great to see that this world, or at least this small part of it, is in awesome hands with the next generations.

    Namath had a good game in SB III (17/28/0/0) not great. I always thought Matt Snell should have been the MVP (30 carries 120 yards and the only Jets TD). The Jets won with one of the oldest recipes for winning football there is...great defense (4 turnovers) and a running game.

    We'll, I'm a little torn on that. He was the first QB to throw for over 4,000 yards in a season, and the only QB I've ever seen that had anywhere near his quick release and arm was Marino. Plus, the burden of those knees...

    He wasn't a talentless hack (and I know you weren't saying that) but he only completed 50% of his passes, and threw more INTs than TDs. 

    But, he did QB his team to victory in one of the two most important games in NFL/AFL history (the other being the 1958 NFL Championship that put pro football on the map).

    He played in NY...

    And he was a cultural icon...

    I know those last two shouldn't factor in, but they do...

    You forgot to mention that, to my knowledge, he’s the only pro football player ever to appear in pantyhose 🤓

    I am almost 63 so I was around and watched Super Bowl III. 

    I don't remember so much the hype leading into the game about the Colts being favored so much. I am sure that was a major story line leading up to the game, though. I wonder if the reason many/most remember that game as the Namath guarantee game is because the media today focuses so much on that when they look back on that game and, frankly, there is nothing else in Namath's career as memorable as that guarantee, and how he backed it up with his play in that game.

    On the other hand, Shula's career high point absolutely was the undefeated season. Again, the media plays that up every year when the remaining living players get together to celebrate once the last undefeated team loses their first game. 

    For an NFL historian, Shula's team losing when such overwhelming favorites might be his defining moment. But imo, for the average football fan the undefeated season is his claim to fame.

    My neighbor ordered 10 tons of stone to rebuild his sea wall. Sounded like a lot to me but once it was delivered it really wasn’t. In fact, he just had another 10 tons dumped yesterday.

     I need about 75 feet of lakefront rebuilt and need to figure a way to calculate how much stone to order.

    Envisioning many wheelbarrow trips back and forth to move that much stone

    Unrelated to the draft, but this just kind of popped into my head.

    Over the years, the Patriots developed into the most disliked team in the NFL, at least in Indiana.  I never really took the time to analyze whether the root of my dislike was more Tom Brady or Bill Belichick.  

    Now that Brady has moved to Tampa, if the Bucs and the Patriot were to meet on the field (regular season game), who would I root for?  I think if it's a regular season game, I would root for the Patriots.  My disdain for Brady is just a touch more than my disdain for Belichick.  If it was the Super Bowl, I would have to see how I felt if that moment came.

     

     

    Bucs. What Bruce Arians did for the Colts while Pagano was sick is worth my allegiance to him. Will root for Arians as long as his team is not playing the Horseshoes

    That's another thing about running. You usually don't hear someone get up really early to do a lot of hobbies, but it is like a rule with runners.

    I'm hoping to get there. What was it about running you enjoyed?

    Out on my own. At that point of the morning, the only one out in a car was the newspaper delivery person, and they knew to watch for me. Just the peace and quiet....let me think, pray, figure stuff out. Loved the feeling when I was just about finished for the day...sense of accomplishment.

    Running also allowed me to eat a lot of calories, because I was burning so many off.

    Does anybody here actually enjoy running, or do we not have anybody that crazy on this board?

    Man, I just can't convince myself to enjoy it yet. I'm sure a large part of that is because I suck at it haha.

    I used to run 4-5 times a week. As I have an hour commute to work, I'd get up at 4:30ish to get my run in. Loved it. Two knee surgeries later and I am now a biker. Miss running with a passion

    That's the funny part. As a Bears fan I say this. Burton is being paid the absolute minimum by the Colts. Bears have to pay him $4M in guarantees already. Essentially the Bears are paying the Colts to find out if he can recapture the same person he was a few years ago. I swear....Ryan Pace. Every day I find a reason to despise this idiot even more.

    Yes, the Colts has their own version in Grigson who tried to run the franchise into the ground. 

    Hopefully, the Bears can find their Chris Ballard

    Two for the price of one from Erma Bombeck

    -"I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage."

    -"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?"
