Canton Mike

Should the above be in PINK? Mike

Beats the hell outta what I drank once celebrating a promotion & relocation in the Army.....I celebrated with a 6 pack of Colt45 (16 ouncers) & a pint of Bacardi.....I have never been drunker or sicker in my life!! (I was 19 then. I'm lots older & a wee bit smarter now) Mike

I'm trusting Dorsey on this. PERIOD! Mike

Duke is MADE for the Pats style of play. Mike

Well, there's always Jackson & Horton. 🙄 Mike

WHAT super bowl? You mean the Ref Bowl? I'll be tying flies on Ref Bowl Sunday in preparation for this coming fishing season. Mike

Around games & snow related duties, I have snacked & drank beer today. Just one of those days. Mike

This is as good as soup gets!! (my "tweeks" are in bold). I got this recipe from the Ohio Game Fishing website: Here is one of my favorite cold weather recipes. It feeds 6 people.1.5 pds. mild or hot italian sausage (I always use 1/2 mild & 1/2 hot & I prefer Giant Eagle's)3-4 cups beef broth (I use beef STOCK & always add up to 32 oz more if soup gets too thick)1 (28oz) can crushed or pureed tomatoes1 onion chopped1 large carrot chopped1 square package frozen chopped spinach1/2 teaspoon garlic powdersalt and pepper to taste (I ONLY use fresh cracked pepper)1 package frozen CHEESE tortelliniRemove sausage from casing and brown, break it up. Drain sausage and transfer to pot. add remaining ingredients to pot, EXCEPT TORTELLINI!!!! slow boil or simmer for at least 45min-1hr, until vegetables are tender. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get. (I cook this in a crockpot on low, that's why the extra beef stock).5-10 min before serving, place tortellini in pot. Tips##Make sure you buy CHEESE tortelliniBeware, addiction is possible. Mike

Bill, there are many various recipes online. Just brown the beef, chop the peppers, and throw it in the crockpot with your other ingredients. I like food a good bit spicier than Colleen does, so I grind black peppercorns in it & maybe add some hot sauce after I fill my bowl. Mike

My Bride made stuffed pepper soup yesterday. Great with garlic bread & beer. Just picked up some Old Leghumper (Thirsty Dog Brewing) & Conway's Irish Ale (Great Lakes Brewing). Mike

Lupoi would also know, from a Coaches perspective, any Alabama potential draft picks this year. Not a bad little side benefit. Mike

PLEASE put this in pink!!! EDIT: Your friendly Moderators aim to please... Mike

One name that popped into my head is Carson Palmer. He just retired in early 2018, knows Freddie well (in fact, was instrumental in getting Freddie his life saving medical help), & could be a tremendous assistant on the offensive side of the ball IF he would be interested. Just a thought. What names can you folks think of, particularly on D. Mike

Yesterday, our tailgate was mostly pretty standard stuff (burgers, 'dogs, brats, bacon wrapped smokies, etc) but I made a good sized batch of my beef jerky & it was a hit. We decided it is good luck, so it will be added to standard fare at our future tailgates. Last home game I took bacon wrapped olives which are good IF you like olives, but most of our guests do not, so those are now off the tailgate list. Mike

The Chiefs have Mahomes & they are happy with him. He's NOT here. The Browns have Mayfield & I (for one) am happy with him. He IS here. I see no need to discuss the other when we have our guy! Just my opinion. Mike

Flugel broke the news to me via text while I was at the game today.I was (am) absolutely shocked & we, as a community, have lost a good man. Stan, thanks for the win today. I am sure you had a hand in it. Prayers for your Family & loved ones. RIP. Mike

I certainly won't disagree. We'll be watching, won't we Gip? Mike

Greg's message seems clear...LEARN from the negatives & BUILD on the positives. That will lead to growth & improvement. Mike

Add me to your "barbarian" list. It's about time a VERY stern message gets sent! Just do it soon. Mike

My Prayers are with all affected by this tragedy. Mike

Anymore, I'm a beer guy. I do have a set of Browns' shot glasses surrounding a 5th of Bushmills Irish Whiskey that will get a workout with the first win. I have never even looked at fake ice cubes & I'm not "techie" enough to worry about temperature. IF I have ice, it's 2 small cubes in about 3 shots of whiskey. When we beat the Steelers, it's a shot of Bushmills chased with an Old Leghumper porter. Mike

Rum, whiskey, scotch, etc......NEVER mix the good stuff!...EVER!!! Mike

If he had, he'd never have made it out of the parking lot! Mike

Ah, the descendent of Thacker's Hamburgers on E Market St in East Akron near where I lived when I was young. At Goodyear shift change time you couldn't get in the door. I haven't yet been to Hamburger Station, but I hear they're just like the old Thacker's. Mike

I recently (without thinking) ordered a double cheeseburger at the drive up. When I pulled up to pay & questioned the price, I was told I should have ordered a McDouble (for 40 or 50 cents less)! The difference in the sandwiches?...ONE slice of cheese. Mike
