0930 game time for me and a tee time at 1pm. Gonna be a long day of beer drinking.

Spent 2 weeks in Sheffield with my undefeated (at home) u-14 youth soccer team. We thought we were hot shit…until we got to England. I think we went 1-5. Side visits to Blackpool and Skegness.It’s 48 years later and still the most memorable trip of my life.

I heard the vikings coach say that they had beds/ bunks set up in the plane for the players to help fight jet lag and time differences. I'm not sure how that would work, though.
Just so the Packers watch out for the crime in England.
@Timmy! posted:For those that haven't tried Shepherd's Pie, I certainly recommend it.
Like some foods, there are some more traditional recipes that can be an acquired taste (lamb and/or other animal 'body parts'), but the recipes made with beef are quite good.
Oh there's a handful of tasty English foods...but as is most cases, it all comes down to the preparations.
If done correctly, savoury pies are excellent. Only pie I couldn't get used to was the eel ones. That is some fucking foul shit.
Although not English, haggis is also not nearly as bad as it sounds...it's basically like a sausage. Black pudding on the other hand...you gotta not mind the irony taste from the blood...which full disclosure I was traumatized as a child being forced to consume blutwurst from my German grandmother.
Rather ironically, the UK is becoming a facsimile of the USA in terms of food choices...those pasty fuckers have taken to American franchises like fish to water. The same shit franchises that rule the roost in Merica for some unknown reason, Dominos, Pizza Hut, KFC, etc. are way popular over there. You can get Krispy Kreme in every Tesco (massive chain grocery store)...10 years ago, you couldn't find an American donut in the UK.
Brits queued up (lined up) for 12+ hours to get chicken sandwiches when the first Popeye's opened in London last year.
Not coincidentally, the UK has seen a massive rise in statin prescriptions...we specialize in the export of heart disease and big pharma!
U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!

That started to happen when I was stationed over there 30 years ago. I have a horror story about their KFC back then. Well one fine drunken evening we saw a sign for KFC and since we hadn't had it in a little while we stopped. Well back then the Brits fed their chicken fish meal. So the chicken tasted like you guessed it phucking fish.
But I give them props for their beer and scotch. Love a good english bitter ale.
Tied for 2nd in most explosive plays...who knew?

Do the opposite.
I like this proposed new offensive line that the Packers are apparently talking about: https://wisportsheroics.com/re...sXRHoaq255K1XBRUBi3m

Also 6th in total offense and 5th in total defense. Only the Bills and Eagles have both units ranked that high.
@AdamSchefter: With Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) both injured, Giants are working out QBs today, including Jake Fromm, who spent time with the team last season.
@MikeGarafalo: Among the QBs working out for the #Giants today is A.J. McCarron, sources say. He was with the #Bills in 2018, so there’s your Brian Daboll/Joe Schoen connection.

It’s a long flight and might be hard to get comfortable. Do the players sit next to the coaches?
Agree. These are the things Barry needs to take notice of, then adjust to.
Poor read/trigger from Savage here - and I don't prefer him as a 'come to balance' tackler because this is what you get

TBF I think at that point Amos was out, and so he was probably filling that role.
Who is Eric Wilson and why did we sign him? Special Teams maybe?
Need another ST guy named after a president.
Why didn’t I think of that!
Probably because you're not smart like Fedya.

“ @zackkruse2: New #Packers LB Eric Wilson's special teams grades at @PFF during his 4 years with the Vikings:

To quote McCarthy, we'll get that fixed:

That nearly got Winston Churchill killed in America back in the day. He was doing a speaking tour and in NYC got out of a cab and forgot we drive on the proper side of the road and he got hit by a car.

I've seen that more than several times. Tackles like that, not the film.

That’s nice. But I kinda hope he can fill in some at MLB. Quay is still learning and seems a bit hesitant at times. I believe that Barnes is on IR?

Barry is from Colorado..."Denver Macho" just doesn't have the same ring to it...
savage isn't large enough to play that role, perfect for amos/butler size guy
please, queen, now that you're in the spirit world, would you do a bloke a last favor for saving y'all's asses years ago and find the GBP 3rd string qb hex and smash it to pieces? righto, much obliged
love ya bill hicks
+++1 for the topic name, love it.
There is nothing rong with round abouts. Ihave to drive thru several and I see it almost every day. Even though there is not a car or orther vehicle in sight some people come to a complete stop before proceeding.
They do save lives, even if you had an accident, cars aren't going fast enough to result in fatalities. A lot of deadly car crashes from people blowing through stop signs on rural roads.
It’s coming
@itszacharyj: Aaron Rodgers on @PatMcAfeeShow said that there were times when a rookie Davante Adams wasn’t getting a ton of targets but he was consistently getting open. “You’re thinking, ‘Man, this guy is open. Often.’ It’s like that from time to time with Christian [Watson].”
Can you yield and take a right turn?
then you should be able to fucking navigate a round a bout. It ain't that hard
My first roundabout was in our rental car in Shannon Ireland. We just got our rented car from the lot at the Shannon airport and yikes the steering wheel is on the opposite side of the car!!!!! Then about 2 miles from the airport a roundabout!!!!! So we’re in a car with the steering wheel on the opposite side of the car AND a roundabout. Needless to say we found the first pub, stopped the car and stayed for the night in a B & B, drank a couple of room temperature Guinness and left the next day. Whew........

So throw him the football dumdum.

Similar experience but flew into Dublin and out of Shannon a week later. After a week driving I finally got somewhat used to sitting and driving opposite. Always had to really remember to pay attention when turning right.
