Ghoolie is very right on !

Well in his £*€k/&$ way of getting things out and on a screen.  And in regards to this stuff in some way .......

.......  [from ghoolie]   Some of you c*nts just don't get it. This is a fucking football board, not a bullshit, grade school trash talk forum.

 A couple years before he passed, Stan asked me and one other guy to help him and to reach out to members via e mail, who don't post and find out why.

The number one reason? Regulars turning every fucking thread into bullshit personal comments.

Younger posters don't want to join in if they are going to be attacked or ridiculed.

Two mother fucking threads I post to talk about the stadium, and two cocksukers just decide to drag their bullshit over and keep at it.

Seriously, Tom, Dutch, you two, c*nts are like Behar and Whoopie. No matter what the fucking topic, you imbeciles can't resist from addressing the poster.

Talk football, or shut your fucking pieholes. If you were on a construction crew you both would have gotten your asses severely kicked long ago. [end ghoolie] ......

I got ghoolie's meaning out of that the first time I read it ..... now I might reconsider it reading through his murdering the English language.

Or better yet let this thread stay dead and buried.

Yes,  EOM.

Ghoolie is very right on !

Dabney Coleman, 92.

According to his daughter ....

Dabney Coleman, ‘9 to 5’ Star Who Made a Career Out of Playing Jerks, Dies at 92

The Texas native got laughs for his boorish behavior in 'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,' 'Tootsie,' 'Buffalo Bill' and much more.

America's Game of the Week

Good thread  AP1.

-  The.  BROWNS  right now  only have  10  1 pm games,  2  8 pm games and the rest are  4 pm or  TBD  ....  -OR-  subject to flex games. (SEE BELOW).

Evidently  "big things"  are expected from our  Cleveland BROWNS  in 2024.  

          The  "flexible scheduling rules for 2024.

This season, "flexible scheduling" for Sunday Night Football may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and in the NFL's discretion during Weeks 11-17; for Monday Night Football in the NFL's discretion in Weeks 12-17; and for Thursday Night Football it may be used up to twice between Weeks 13-17.

During these Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC), Monday Night Football (on ESPN or ABC), and Thursday Night Football (on Amazon Prime Video) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday/Monday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET.

As in prior seasons, for Week 18, the final weekend of the season, the scheduling of the Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and the Sunday night games is not assigned. In Week 18, two games will be played on Saturday (4:30 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET) with the remainder to be played on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET) and one matchup to be played on Sunday night (8:20 PM ET). Specific dates, start times, and networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.

How great of a hitter was Ted Williams?

During Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, Joltin' Joe hit .408. During the same stretch, the Splendid Splinter Williams batted .412. 

Both greats,  Ted was a bit of a troubled person with a tough family background.

My dad told me a few  TRUE  stories about Ted Williams the man, player and soldier.

TW born in 1918 my dad in 1921 and both in  WWII and Korea at the same time.  Soldiers and sailors sucked up baseball news and games any way they could.  TW played 19 years with BOS but 3 years in WWII  and about 2 in Korea as a jet pilot.  He was good at it because of his incredible eyes and eyesight.

My dad told me that he could read the label on a moving 78 rpm record among other incredible feats.  Comes in handy as a jet pilot too.  Some of his greatest seasons were between his Marine Corp stints ....  like that famous CLE pitcher.

* Can you imagine what lifetime numbers both Ted Williams and Bob Feller could have had ?

When you have time go look TW up.

I've got to get around to getting some tickets for a couple of games...

I think I might have to just get another Six Pack like I did a few seasons ago... It's a good deal, you get one game a month at a reduced price. 

The six-packs are the best things outside of season tix.   Nice flexability.
