Re: What would you call your top BIGGEST upset wins by the Rams? - 7 months ago

Of course the wins over Dallas and Tampa in the 79 playoffs rank high for me. However, even though they were seeded only one spot behind the Cowboys, I wasn’t expecting much from the Rams in the 83 wildcard game at Dallas. So for them win that game was pretty memorable for me. Leroy Irvin coming up just a few yards short on a long pick 6, big runs from Dickerson, and Preston Denard’s performa

Re: Ram23 - it is with great sorrow…. - 7 months ago

A sad day indeed. I tried to channel his enthusiasm when he was still here during all the losing of the mid to late 00’s, but I was just too bitter and disappointed by the terrible football that I was watching every week. Sending a KRAAAAAAAAACK! In his honour.

Lirim Harjullahu is 4 for 4 in the Grey Cup tonight. - 7 months ago

Rams had him in camp few years back. Another former Ram (ever so briefly), Cameron Dicker is also 3 for 3 on extra points tonight.

Every scene, always hilariously ridiculous. Love all those movies.

Think relaxing thoughts to keep your HR and BP down. I’ve had 3 previous stress tests. Im due for another one soon.

Glad I’m not the only person who has experienced this! So many times I thought that I had it figured out only to find out otherwise.

Re: Does Anyone Have A Google Nest "Smart" Thermostat (Or Similar)? - 8 months ago

We got one a couple of years ago. I don't notice any significant savings. You're likely smarter than I am, but if you do get one spend some time figuring out all the settings. My better-half does not love it because the Google Nest seems picky about letting her control it with her smartphone. I've had no issue controlling it from anywhere as long as I have the phone. Sometimes when she is at home

Re: AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH - 8 months ago

I guess when I video a race in swimming or rowing I can see it unfold for a long time. So there aren’t usually any sudden moments to shock me and my camera hand. I’ve had to bite my tongue many times as I’ve watched parents film a child’s race in portrait.

Re: I wonder if the Vikes have been offered a Stafford AND Kupp package deal?? If I'm the Vikes.. - 8 months ago

They have some great young receiving options already. Plus when TJ Hockenson gets healthy Stafford already has some great chemistry with him.

Re: Ever film your kid/grandkid in sports... - 8 months ago

I’ve videoed both of my daughters competing over the years, first at swim meets now at rowing regattas. I am a pretty quiet person by nature so I tend to remain calm even if the results are good. Sure there’s probably a couple of videos where you want to mute the volume at the end, but for the most part I’m pretty steady. Speaking of parents videoing their kids, one of my pet peeves in life is

Re: So what are you expecting from NY? - 9 months ago

They seem like one of those team of destiny stories right now, or at least the loveable underdogs. Lindor would be MVP if Ohtani didn’t exist. If Alonzo heats up they’re even more formidable. I’m no expert but I think the Mets have a really good starting rotation, Overall the Dodgers seem to have the more talented roster though. Go Blue Jays!

Re: I've heard nothing but great things about it - 9 months ago

I’m glad Iowa mentioned that it’s getting great reviews, that way I don’t feel like I’m overselling it. I look forward to finding out what everyone thinks about it when they finally see it.

I watched “The Wild Robot” in the theatre today. - 9 months ago

It is absolutely beautiful in every way. I had to work hard not to ugly cry several times. So many messages beyond the surface. Amazing animation. Best movie I’ve seen in quite some time.

Nooo - 9 months ago

I grew up a Reds fan and remain one now, although proximity has made the Blue Jays my main team. My childhood memories of Rose are still the strongest. All of the stars of the Big Red Machine could do no wrong as far as I was concerned and I still see them all through that lens. Even when Rose’s warts became obvious later on, I still mostly saw him with my 10 year old eyes. The never quit attit

Totally with you on point 2 and notmally would be on point one - 9 months ago

With the beefing up of the interior oline, I was excited to see the Rams establish a running game early this year. However, it seemed like they weren’t going to have any luck versus the Lions. Not sure how much of that is related to injuries and how much was the Lions stout run D. Anyway, I didn’t get too worked about the lack of rushing attempts in game one as so many of the passes were of the

“Baseball, Ray…” - 10 months ago

Of all the many, many of movies that I’ve loved Jones in “Field of Dreams” is the first movie that I think of when I hear his voice and that includes Star Wars. What a loss.

Re: Another perspective of that draft... - 10 months ago

Yeah, not a terrible draft by any metric. Late round picks who are still kicking around the league and Atwell, Jones and Brown are still important pieces on their teams. Aside from the Rams not taking Creed Humphrey, I don’t have any major criticisms regarding this draft.

Re: Men's 4X100.... SPOILER.... don't read if you haven't seen it... - 11 months ago

Up here, we Canadians know that our best hope for success in the men’s 4 x 100 is the Americans struggling with the exchange. What a race! De Grasse had to fight for it on the anchor. Nothing was decided at that point. My favourite moment of the Olympics.

Re: Love Wyoming, South Dakota...just too cold. - 11 months ago

We had a nice winter last year, but the last few winters up to that were pure hell. I questioned my sanity for choosing to live here on a daily basis. The six months of freezing temperatures make me really appreciate the other six months though. It also makes me appreciate family trips to warm beaches.

North shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.. - 11 months ago

Perhaps that’s cheating because I already live on the North shore of Lake Superior in Northern Ontario, but that area of Minnesota instantly relaxes me every time I am there. So much to do if you are into the outdoors. Amazing trail systems on state park land, rivers, waterfalls. Great alpine skiing at Lutsen, great Nordic skiing on the already mentioned trails once the snow flies. It’s just a be

Re: Warning: Uniforms Question - 11 months ago

I ask the same questions all the time. Unless a player has his head positioned at a particular angle the horns look like crescent moons to me.

Totally agree. - 11 months ago

Additionally, I found the coverage on Canadian TV (CBC) cringey. They were interviewing athletes on the boat and it just felt uncomfortable for me, not sure that I can articulate why I felt that way, but that’s just how I felt. I’d have much rather watched them walk into a stadium, I felt like I was watching a bad version of the Rose Bowl Parade on water.
