Maybe these refs are just bad. That wasn't unnecessary roughness on the Lions.

I think we're getting to the point where the bad officiating is starting to ruin the product a little bit....let the players play.

They have been in every game with opportunities to win the games. Moore isn’t the problem. Dude is in his 2nd year. Relax. Scouting and front office. We’ve known that for years. We are aren’t far off from being in contention. We lack depth and 1-2 DUDES.

That's the NFL. Almost every team is talented enough to keep these games within one possession. Most spreads are one TD or less.

This was a year where the division was easily within grasps. To start off 2-5, especially with our pretty easy schedule, is shameful.

I think two things can be true.

We can be happy the Saints won while also realizing that this game looked like two bad teams going at it and that the quickness in which everything fell apart in the end against a third-string quarterback (essentially) was disturbing.

I guarantee you they hear much worse shite from players on every single drive of every single game. If you’re going to talk to the refs with no respect then they should reciprocate.

Look, if the player was talking crap to the ref, then that's one thing. But this was just an incidental collision...it was completely out of line from the official.

EDIT: Looks like you're referring to the McBride video. Who knows if he was talking crap or not. I was thinking about the Vikings game video where the player literally did nothing wrong and the ref exploded.

Manning had an impressive comeback, but his stat line was really pedestrian.

Look, I'm not saying Manning played like a Heisman winner last night, but you will rarely see a game with a statline that misleading.

His one pick would have given him like 50 extra yards and literally bounced out of the receivers hands right into the defender's hands.

And then he had a touchdown taken off the board because his best receiver literally missed an easy catch he makes 19 times out of 20, if not more often.

He led his team down from 20 points against the number one team in the country. The statline doesn't do his game justice.

My biggest work meeting pet peeves are when someone is clearly just asking a question to look engaged or just to suck up and the person asks some ridiculous, irrelevant question that extends the meeting longer than it should be.

Texas A&M curb stomped LSU, Vandy did a mercy-victory kneel on the goal line, and Ole Miss beat LSU last year too.

Let's see how Lane ends up doing next season before talking crap.

Your cardio and weight training isnt helping you one bit in the heat baw.

Three summers ago, I had what had to be heat exhaustion and nearly had a heat stroke playing tennis outside in the summer (felt like I was going to collapse, full body cramps on the drive home, etc.).

Was in excellent shape, could run and never get tired.

I was so confused why I was suffering from the effects of heat, being extremely fit and having grownup in Louisiana and having lived in Florida, as well.

It dawned on me then that heat exhaustion/heat stroke isn't about fitness. I don't think it's always even about how used to it you are. I used to do fairly-long distance running in Louisiana/Florida in the summer time and play tennis in that weather, as well.

I think it can sometimes just be a combination of direct sunlight on you, combined by high temperatures, and lack of proper food/water.

Growing up in the southeast can help, but if you're not properly hydrated, didn't eat properly that day, and are standing in the heat with the sunlight beating down on you for a long time, then eventually your body is going to crack, regardless of fitness level.

I am so sorry to hear this.

Were you looking to potentially make changes to your life? Were you unhappy in your career? Sometimes, I feel, an unexpected life event can be the best thing that can happen to you in the long-term.

Short-term, of course it's going to suck. Long-term, this could be the kick in the butt that you need to make the changes necessary to find more happiness in your life.

I absolutely believe this.

The world that a lot of 50-60 year olds grew up in, that I'm sure many of them think still exist, isn't there anymore.

The job market sucks, inflation is extremely high, gas prices are horrific, it's a lot harder to date than it used to be with the dating apps now...and then once you find a job, a lot of the times apartment rent prices are completely out of control.

A lot of middle-aged and older folks don't realize how extremely tough it is nowadays to have a nice house in the suburbs with a stable job nowadays.
