I’ve been to the falls in early October, but even then I worried. I know how to drive in snow, but I’d just as soon not.

* – Sunday night games in Weeks 5-16 subject to change; Week 17 game TBD

TBD?

Tampa Bay - Detroit?

[xzins]

You nailed it. Lol

[but they have the best chicken salad sandwiches in the world]

Awesome. There was a place I went to about a dozen years ago - fantastic turkey / bacon sandwich. I went back for a 2nd one - took them 45 minutes to make it. Perhaps it was somebody new that day.

The NFL exists to sell beer, trucks, securities and ED medication and selling that ad time has not been difficult.

Not so much ED medication, as of this year. Both Viagra and Cialis lost their patent protection earlier this year. As a consequence, the manufacturers of both (Pfizer and Lilly, respectively), knowing that continuing to advertise the two drugs can only benefit manufacturers of generic competitors and not themselves, announced that starting in 2017, they would no longer advertise on NFL broadcasts.

This also explains the financial shortfall that has befallen the NFL...two of their marquis sponsors, Pfizer and Lilly, are no longer "in the fold."

I know. It’s a losing battle.

Is less money lost money?

When Robert Reich said that cutting the rate of increase
in funding for a program was a cut in funding, we had a good laugh.

No more Viagra ads—great news for the new year!

It’s usually the little places way off the main road that have the best food and atmosphere. If you saw this place and you were from out of town, no way you would go in. LOL We have been going there for close to 40 years but never see anybody but locals there. The service is always perfect and the food is always good and prompt. It’s our place to go when we don’t want to dress up and we want good southern hometown charm. :-) You know it’s good when all the local cops go there at lunch. Having a room full of LEO’s doesn’t slow down business at all either.

The argument that “I got 150 bucks this year and I’m expecting 175 next year but you’re only giving me 160” less than you were hoping to get extra is a cut.

But, if last year you got 150 and this year only got 140, then there was a cut.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

BOOM! And so it begins.

[SaveFerris]

Nice. Know a lady that runs a Mongolian BBQ. Been going there for 20 years. Rare when it’s affordable these days.

Nonetheless, doesn’t look like much from the outside. I went there for a going-away party with my clients for the manager. This guy was working in the World Trade Center in 2001. His contract ended about two weeks before the terrorist attacks and he was back in the Midwest when it all went down.

Did you leave out a “not” somewhere?

[Keyhopper]

I hated these a holes before the pulled this kneeling crap.
Rather read a book or watch a movie
Nothing but bread and circus routine to distract us from what’s really happening around us.
Some people are easily entertained

[windsorknot]

My plan not to watch Sunday Night Football has not been cancelled.

[jacknhoo]

Good and good riddance to bad rubbish.

[xzins]

That was not the most understandable writing I’ve ever done. There are some grammar police on this thread already. Maybe they’ll straighten me out. :>)

Basically, if you got 150 in 2017 and were told your were getting 175 in 2018, but then that was revised to 160 does not mean you have taken a cut. You’ve actually had a 10 dollar increase. But the left calls it a cut.

And I’m not even sure if that paragraph is clear. Lol. Send me back to writing class.....

Your husband is showing leadership—from a hospital bed.

Outstanding!

(I am sure the nurses talk about it with their co-workers and friends—and the message gets out there just a little more...)

[sparklite2]

I gotcha. That’s what my Robert Reich comment said, too.
We are of the same mind.

[SaveFerris]

The commercials, the displays in stores, it was all too much.

As you say, bread and circuses; almost a religion for some.

All the while 1/2 of the country sat back and thought all was fine and dandy under the Kenyan Usurper as he worked to trash the nation.
