Re: Oh, did you pick Dallas? They... seem to be having a spanking.

Speaking... of spankings--

We waz... robbed!

We... robbed!

BTW Did FR go down or was that one of the many crazy dreams I had sleeping away near the whole damn weekend?

[big'ol_freeper]

FR has been on and off

[Bender2]

Re: FR has been on and off

Kind'a like your Battlebyrds... and Bendy's Dallas Lite Crustboys if my computation are nominal--

[trisham]

Thank you, Danny!

[InvisibleChurch]

Thx!

Coach Stoops gonna need to find a QB with an arm to run Mumme’s system now that Landry Jones is out... not that he was playing really all that well in the first place.

Maybe run the wildcat?

[OKSooner]

Please add me to the ping list, so long as communicable diseases of dubious Chinese origin can be kept away from it.

Re: Coach Stoops gonna need to find a QB with an arm to run Mumme’s system now that Landry Jones is out

Well, checking the XFL's Team 9, there are 4 quarterbacks there and Googling their names does not give much if any info:

Joe Callahan (born June 4, 1993) is an American football quarterback for the XFL's Team 9 practice squad. He played college football at Wesley, a Division III program in Dover, Delaware. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2016, and was briefly a member of the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, and Seattle Dragons.

CJ Collins Height: 6’5″ - Weight:225 - College: Southwestern Assemblies of God University

Garrett Fugate Height 6'3 - Weight 210 lbs - Birth Date (Age) 1994-02-14 (26) - Born Overland Park, KAN - School Central Missouri State

And could find very little on Marcus McDade--

Do any of these... look like what Bob needs?

Sadly, NOT... that I can see.

What to do... what to do?

Simple-- thank the Football Gods... for split personalities! GO BABY OILERS!!!!!

Meanwhile back at chemo ranch... "Well, no nausea so far but the other end is working overtime when I think about my Dallas Lite Boys--

Anywho, my picks for Week 6 is... Houston over Meow York, Big's Battlebyrds over Tampa, Dallas over DC (As if I could ever call of the Deadskins Lites to winover any Dallas team--) and finally LA Wussiecats over Seattles--

[big'ol_freeper]

Joe Callahan impressed me when he was with the Packers.

Houston over NY
St. Louis over Tampa Bay
DC over Dallas
LA over Seattle

Re: XFL Statement: Currently, the XFL will not be playing its regular-season games. However, all players will be paid their base pay and benefits for the 2020 regular season. All XFL ticket holders will be issued refunds or credit toward future games. The XFL is committed to playing a full season in 2021 and future years.

Here's to unity... and a quick return of XFL Football--

A... MEN!

[big'ol_freeper]

Because of the Chinese Virus or have they gone the AAF route?

[PfromHoGro]

Amen!

[Impy]

At this rate ESPN may go out of business!

[moehoward]

Time to roll out the nostalgia races and games

[OKSooner]

Hey, if there’s no football to watch anyway, why not?

[Bender2]

First, let me say I am more than pleased in how my chemo and radiation treatments have been going. No nausea at all from the chemo and outside the pain from the arthritis in my shoulders holding my arms over my head for 15 to 20 minutes during radiation, I am not suffering much at all. Oh, I am down in the dumps at times and have fatigue to the max. I am sleeping about 16 hours a day.

All in all, the whole experience has been much better than I ever expected and all thanks to you all who gave me their prayers and support. I am so thankful to y'all!

Now, back at the ranch-- Coronavirus Insanity is real! The drive by media and the DemocRATS, never letting a crisis go to waste, are trying with all their might to kick fear into hyper-drive against President Trump and the Republicans and a part of it has hit close to home--

Hell, it has hit home right here in Corsicana, Texas, 56 miles south of Big D.

I went out for my last radiation treatment for the week at noon and then went down to the local HEB Grocery to get some milk. Now, granted, I have not been out and about much other than to get my chemo and radiation treatment, but as I drove up to HEB the parking lot was crammed to the brim.

Finally finding a parking spot, I made it inside and found an empty handicap cart and entered a land of folks filling grocery carts to the brim. Oh, I was able to get milk, yet I found there was not a roll of toilet paper to be found. Just a whole wall of empty racks where it should be stocked. Nor was there any hand sanitizer either. And thinking of my need to use distilled water in my COPD unit I went to get a couple of gallon jugs. Yep, the water section was just as empty as the toiler paper area.

I waited in line for nearly 20 minutes to pay for my milk and a couple of other things and then went down the street to Brookshires' discount brand grocery and found they were also out of water, too.

I realized I had several extra distilled jugs at home, so I figure I'll try again early in the morning when the trucks make their grocery deliveries. Getting home, I took the two distilled jugs I used as drinking water out of the fridge to save for my COPD. I filled up four empty jugs with water from the sink faucet and put them in the fridge for drinking.

I am concerned about the Coronavirus but not to the extent that the drive by media and the DemocRATS are proclaiming to be the Apocalypse because Donald Trump is the President. I believe he will do what is best and not lose his head. Heck, isn't that what the Dems and their media cohorts do all the time? Politicising everything to place all the blame on Trump and the Republicans

Putting my faith in God and trusting the President to do what is best, we will weather this storm.

All y'all take care and God Bless.

Love,
Danny

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of weasels.

[BenLurkin]

It ticks me off because the XFL contests were getting quite good.

[RedMonqey]

"At this rate ESPN may go out of business!"

I'd just cry in my beer over that (Snicker, snicker)
