My situation is: My wife and I are both in risk groups. Due to her alertness, I laid in some supplies in February. She almost never leaves the home except to go to the doctor/dentist/whatever anyway. I almost never leave the home except for errands or medical appointment. For the past few...

I didn't even know that. My usual example of such a situation is Charlie Weis.

To be clear, I presume the messing up he was referring to is the theft incident before he was drafted.

Nothing really new; just "I messed up; they gave me a second chance; I owe everything to that second chance." I still found it nice to see, and I stumbled across it in such an obscure way I wasn't sure you guys would see it on your own. :) Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch expects 'big things' from...

Per Wikipedia, I was way off: 1. You're correct about the quote/anecdote. 2. The term dates back at least to the 1930s. Hail Mary pass - Wikipedia

Not directly responsive to the OP, but: 1. Due to defending a Hail Mary, Randy Moss was once the Pats' INT leader a few games into the season. 2. Supposedly the term was coined by Doug Flutie. More precisely, it was supposedly coined based on an interview in which he said that he'd said a Hail...

Long ago, I wrote to the Globe with two complaints about Borges. The lesser was that he was too lazy to know the Grahambo nickname (that's how long ago it was), and had misheard it as Rambo instead. The greater was an OBVIOUSLY false story that he attributed to "sources"; I inferred that he'd...

About the Colts: Doyel: Josh McDaniels is a selfish little jerk, but did Colts, Indy a favor

Does this restaurant have paper napkins?

In case it hasn't been said yet -- McDaniels does not have an iron-clad guarantee to be BB's successor, because of the Rooney Rule.

Your list is incomplete without the junior, junior skyhook.

Dungy's 4-5-6 were Manning, Marino and Brady, as per the Marino part of the article.

Overstated that he didn't cause a distraction. Huge coverage of his dissatisfaction at not being given a clean chance to win the job back, in his opinion. IIRC, it was a Will McDonough piece.

There are only a limited number of ways for fluids to leave the body: urination, defecation, perspiration, ejaculation ...

The Belichick Whisperer Two things I found interesting: Since Zolak ran the scout team while BB was DC, he in a way worked directly for BB. BB went out of his way to explain to Zolak some time after the Seattle Super Bowl to explain why he thought the goal line pass call wasn't stupid...

A lot of the ex-player coaches I thought of were DBs. A number of them were also defensive backs. :) Good call on Berry. Meanwhile, I ran across a bit of trivia -- the hit that ended Jeff Fisher's playing career was delivered by Bill Cowher.

Mike Ditka?

Hiya, While I no longer post here in general, I do have a concussion-related tidbit I wanted to shoehorn into some thread or other, for those who might care. It's simply that one of the better regional hospitals in the area -- Emerson Hospital in Concord, with a second office in Westford -- has...

In retrospect, I mind that wrist-slap less. Some things are their own worst punishment.

Here's what you seem to be forgetting: Whether a team gets compensatory picks at all depends on whether they lose more relevant FAs than they sign. It does NOT depend upon the relative quality or cost of the players. Player cost and quality only factor into the level(s) of picks, IF the team...
