Haven't listened to a word Kiper has said since he ripped the colts for drafting Faulk - then Polian got on air immediately afterwards and put Mel in his place - then Faulk has a HOF career

The best part was early on when the ignorant were laughing saying everything Trump was doing was going to get tied up in court and portraying the situation as if that had never been considered when the strategy was clearly to get many things to scotus asap

exactly - they are asking for a subsidy but calling it unity and order

we have inherent advantages in terms of raw materials, geography, natural resources, etc - giving that away makes no sense - when you have the better hand you play it

Yes China - that is what we are doing

There never has been and never will be a bigger bada$$ than a WW2 marine.

It's them at #1, every other WW2 serviceman #2 and they are so far ahead the rest of the list doesn't matter.

Undoubtedly the greatest generation - fortunate and proud to have them as grandparents.

I'd say I'm undecided to a pollster and definitely not left leaning - I'm voting Ken but like having clueless pollsters

5th grade classroom - it was science fair day - my project was on the history of flight - from the wright brothers to a clean record for nasa - that went to hell - on a lighter note my teacher was the grandmother of my wife of 25 years....

re: Who is more revered in LSU Basketball history, Shaq or Pistol Pete?

Pete was before my time so he's more of a mythical figure for me.
like a Babe Ruth would be in baseball.
Just a god that was hanging out with mere mortals.

I'm not much younger than Shaq so I remember him well at LSU.

Shaq was dominant and amazing to see, but there is just something about legends before your time that just have a special aura about them.

you stole my answer - was at dale's camp when Pete was supposed to be the guest/keynote speaker but passed away - had pizza every night with Shaq and Vernel that week on the steps of Kirby - one is mythical to me - the other a legend I was able to interact with - dad was in school with Pete - his stories are great - no wrong answer here

I'd go better than pretty good - especially for a true freshman - he will be a great leader for the rb room

re: Catholic baws: what are your favorite hymns, Christmas or otherwise?

Posted by htowntyger on 12/20/24 at 10:52 am

You nailed it. One of the best parts of Christmas is the first notes of O Come All Ye Faithful as the mass entrance starts.

Silent Night is up there for me because we inherited a tradition from wife's family of singing it together on Christmas Eve.

I think this is the key - failure is part of it all - learn to fail as a child so you can learn how to win as an adult

I always have that nagging concern in the back of my head that I'm doing something or not doing something that I don't realize

Seems like that's just part of it all too - I'm with you and try to just accept that it's never going away - those that came before me say it never will and I trust them

I don't realize and that today's societal norms will be stronger than my parenting

Worried about this too but, per my 18 yo daughter, nothing is stronger than that.....if it worries you you're addressing it and it will be ok - they will be prepared

Posted by htowntyger on 12/16/24 at 11:15 am

My grandfather swam for his life at pearl harbor on the day after his birthday then spent the rest of the war in the Sea of Japan. Refused to speak about it. The only time I saw any emotion from him on the subject was when I was with him on the pearl harbor anniversary watching football and we came across a project on tv saying we were wrong for dropping the bomb. Papa was having none of that.....He was in it to win it at all costs. You would never meet a more gentle and kind man - until that subject came up - then he became the biggest bada$$ I've ever seen - truly the greatest generation
