QuoteJamesJM 'circumstances' that led to, or forced, 'on the fly' decisions.... but as to what you describe - how is it that they weren't aware that the torpedo planes before the dive bombers was a suicide mission? Or DID they and and simply sacrificed them thereby forcing the Japanese to land to refuel knowing that this would create a window for the dive bombers? - JamesJM The torpedo planesby zn - Bucky's Pub
Kansas City radio host Kevin Keitzman out after comments about Chiefs coach Andy Reid Kansas City sports radio station 810 WHB and host Kevin Kietzman “have mutually agreed to part ways” after recent comments in which Keitzman tried to draw a link between Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s family life to the team's handling of child abuse allegations levied against receiver Tyreek Hill.

QuoteExample: At Midway, as presented in this video... the USA was losing EVERYWHERE until very near the end of the battle when a scant few dive bombers took the Japanese Carriers out.... why were these dive bombers deployed so late in the battle? What was the purpose of the previous sorties that lost every single plane and achieved nothing at all... not a single hit on any Japanese vessel? Theby zn - Bucky's Pub

QuotePHDram 4/7. Am I missing something? Thanks for asking but no, the numbers I did when doing percentages were calculated from the original 10 picks. (Looking back, I wasn't clear about that.) So combining red and blue bold players, in 2014 it would look like 7 hits out of 10 picks. But in retrospect only the blue bolds count as hits, and that was 4 hits out of 10 picks.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRampage2K- So all QB's stats and numbers should only be taken from their worst games??? / Uh...no. B) If however they have a consecutive series of lesser games, we should not pretend that did not happen. Particularly when they come at the end of the year.

Quotejemach Zeke is on...not when Dak is on...which is rare. They won with an OL and running game...not on the arm of Prescott. Zak Prescott getting $30 million would be moronic. I don't care if it's his 8th contract. He is a 2nd tier QB talent. I'm betting Blake Bortles would perform better. It really gets down to this.

Quote2017 Draft: Six players out of eight are still with the Rams. 2018 Draft: All eleven players drafted in 2018 are still listed on the Rams’ roster in 2019.

QuoteRich Eisen, from I think some NFL fans need to recalibrate their negative attitude towards paying quarterbacks.
