This is the perfect kind of weather for youngsters playing tackle with friends. No pads. No helmets.

Man, ain't that the truth . . . cold/snow?   pffft!   :-)

FYI: :)

Civilians often wonder why the US Army Flag Patch is reversed. The answer is: not all Army Flag Patches are reversed, but only those worn on the right shoulder. The reason has to do with proper display of the flag.

The blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor. When viewing the flag on a wall, the highest position of honor is the upper left when displayed horizontally, and at the top (upper left) when displayed vertically. When displayed on a “moving object” like a person or vehicle, the highest position of honor is the front, and not the rear; so the field of blue should be displayed to the front.

Wow...never heard of it!

“GrassMaster is a hybrid grass sports playing field surface composed of natural grass combined with artificial fibres.”

Isn’t the “natural grass” growing in soil?

They need some artificial mud to add realism.

Love it. Good old-fashioned smash-mouth football. Passing is for wimps. ;)

Only the Packers and Eagles play on it. The Patriots have a practice facility that uses it. Pretty much every major world soccer team plays on it.

He pardoned that stupid turkey.

He should have squeezed this game in.
He should return to showing up for the opening Baseball game in Washington.

Just another way of reaching the ‘common folk’.

Remember what RR did to endear us on his first state of the union?

Paused for a minute and then about 12 wheelbarrows(??) full of paper were wheeled in and he proclaimed it was the budget which Congress had ‘managed to get to him the day before....

Right out of ‘Miracle on 34th St’ where the PO delivered all the ‘Santa Claus junk mail’ to the courthouse after the judge said Kris Kringle needed absolute proof to him being Santa Claus....

PEDJT was there last year. I am glad he’s not there to be outside in a snowstorm this year. It was more important that he was in Mississippi today for the opening of the Civil Rights museum. He will attend future Army -Navy games.

= = = = = = = = = = =

True BUT it does pay to be well read..

Says someone who would use the WaPo or NYSlimes as birdcage liner because it would mean bringing it into the house.

Back as a young EM we had a sort of reading club which included Ayn Rand and others...
used to JOKE the JOs thought we were well rounded, the SO’s thought we were ‘Communists’ and the Boatswains Mates figured E3 shouldn’t know how to read.....

True..

I sometimes ‘forget’ that once over 70 I/we shouldn’t tempt fate by doing ‘foolish, unnecessary acts’.

Easy to say ‘he should be there’ from the comfort of your living room’.... ha ha

Hey, Army Navy is a tradition that’s been around way longer than you. Don’t watch if you don’t want but this isn’t political (geesh). This is old school rivalry and maybe you wouldn’t even understand it.
