Why don’t you just give me $20 and I’ll kick you in the nuts out back
I think this is the best RB room in years however they’ll only go as far as the Oline lets them.
The whole season revolves around an improved Oline and an improved Qb.

Impossible to predict this coming year’s team. New OC. New OL coach. Basically, a new OL. New RB carrying the rock. The offensive side of the ball is going to be entirely new. I’m cautiously optimistic. The defense should be a bit more “like the past.”
I'm sure we have at some point, but I can't recall last time it was a reliable strength. I can't remember the last time it wasn't a liability. Even under SOS. One year he started immediately pulling any OL who had a false start.

Those lines with TJ Johnson running center were pretty nasty.
I get that your name and logo are about pooing on Clem but can you get that orange paw out of here?
I foresee a 4-2 start to the season, loads of optimism and even more "IF ONLY" at that point and then, 2-4 to close the season for a 6-6 record.
Beamer keeps his job and the fans say "things are turning around, the new OL coach and OC made a huge difference". Beamer is safe for at least two more years and the beat goes on.

I hate cats. I prefer dogs.
But I will never own either (again). My wife had a cat when we got married, so we had that until it died. The one good thing about a cat is that you can go out of town for 2-3 days without having to arrange any special care. Also, it was an exclusively indoor cat, so it never had to go to the vet for anything. Just load it up with food and water. The downsides, though: hair everywhere, litter tracking all over the place (I tried every gimmicky litter that claimed to be non-tracking), hairballs, the cat randomly deciding to poop outside the litter box.
I would take a dog over a cat except for the reason that you can't leave town, even for a day, without making sure it can get outside to do its business and that it gets fresh food and water. Unless you got a non-shedding kind, you also have the crazy hair issue. Just too much work involved. My nephew got a dog and now anytime the family gets together, there's a huge amount of negotiating that takes place b/c my dad doesn't want a dog in his house. That leaves my nephew, who lives an hour away, with a 6 hour window in which they can be away from the dog. Nonsense.
If we ever ended up living out in the country, I'd be cool with a good outdoor dog.
I am not a pet person. I understand why some people are, but I get no gratification, enjoyment or companionship from a pet.
Don't want anything I have to take care of or find someone to take of it if I decide to go out of town. Like not restrictions to just pick up and go.
We have a cat, I always have. I think cats are close to the perfect pet. Ours is indoor/outdoor, we don't have a litter box but the cat's food is always indoors so we aren't feeding all the raccoons and possums in the area. We can leave him for a day or two (I'll put some food outside on top of the grill, where it's harder for raccoons and possums to find) but if we are gone longer than that, we have to get someone (usually a local high school girl) to come by twice a day to let him in and out. He is a short hair, like all of our cats have been, and he stays out most of the time, so his hair isn't an issue. A litter box holds no interest for me.
I love dogs too. We always had a dog growing up. That was a different time, dogs could run free in the neighborhood. Unless I lived out in the country where I could have a dog that wasn't fenced, I don't want one. A dog will destroy a yard and I'm not going to be a slave to walking a dog twice a day so it can crap somewhere and I have to pick up the crap with my hand and bring it back home. My daughter and son in law have a dog and they are slaves to that animal. They have the same schedule limitations your nephew does about how long they can be gone. When they go on a trip, they have to board the dog.
When our cat goes on to his ultimate reward, we won't have a pet of any kind.
My mother-in-law moved in with us last year, which is fine with me, except she has a dog. We are moving soon and we'll be getting separate places, so I'll be back to a pet-free house, thankfully.
That dog's p*ss has wrecked the yard.
At least this year the OC and the OL coach are on the same page from working together in years past.
Shula and Teasily were not.
Thats gotta help, right?
That is one drawback, but I've always had a cat and a dog or two as long as I've been an adult. They just are family.... in a sort of secondary family sort of way when compared to real family.
My wife and I foster dogs on occasion in concert with a couple of rescue organizations, several of whom have made it into our family over the years. If you connect with a dog, or a horse too for that matter, you will see a legitimate soul on the other side of those eyes. I get it that many people don’t feel it though; to each his own.
As long as people can compartmentalize that "soul" as not being human.
I have some friends who lost their 7 yr old Chihuahua a few yrs ago. They were devastated beyond what's normal.
Makes you wonder.

Reminds me of my earlier years. My wife and I had some pets that were our "kids", right up until we had real children.
I tried to explain this to a coworker who had no kids but a couple dogs. She kept insisting that I didn't understand, these were her "kids". I could repeat to her that i said the same.....right up until I had real kids, but it didn't sink in.
I'll agree that I can see a soul in my dogs, heck even the cats. But yeah, they are not the same as human.
Heck, some dogs may be better than humans.
pure love.

The Mr Kitters channel features several indoor/outdoor cats, some sporting gopro cams. The footage gives you a a good idea what they are up to while outside.
Any time someone tells me they love their dog/cat/horse/turtle/rabbit/etc. "just like a child", I ask them this question:Reminds me of my earlier years. My wife and I had some pets that were our "kids", right up until we had real children.

"Would you give up your life for that pet?"
If they say "no", I tell them they don't love that animal like their child. If they say "yes", I can dismiss them immediately as completely insane.
Well, this is where I disagree with animal lovers, lol.Reminds me of my earlier years. My wife and I had some pets that were our "kids", right up until we had real children.

I've had people tell me how much their pets give them unconditional love, and I just laugh and say "Yeah, so long as you feed them, house them, take them on walks, give them treats, pet them, scratch their bellies, etc. Leave that dog with someone else for a couple weeks and they'll unconditionally love that person."
I am frequently told "You just don't get it" to which I readily agree!
I don't actually mind the pet concept so much, except that pets have been elevated to near-human status in our society. They get their name listed on Christmas cards along with the rest of the family, included in family pictures, they are given equal standing with humans when folks have to make decisions about plans (well, we can't b/c the dog....).
To your first point, my wife was never cat crazy...I could not have handled that...but there was a precipitous drop-off in the amount of petting the cat received after we had our first kid. By the time we were on kid #3, it was basically a business relationship. Food, water and clean litter box every few days in exchange for a roof over its head.
ha...I have done the same!
Craziest thing I ever heard was pet health insurance. When I was growing up, there was one outcome for a sick pet. Either they get better, or.......
My mother-in-law's dog is on anti-anxiety medication. A dog. On anti-anxiety medication. I would love to be in the vet's office to see how a dog is diagnosed with anxiety.
We had to put my wife's down a few years ago. The kids never actually played with the thing, but my son got weepy when my wife told them the cat was dad. He was standing at the top of the stairs sobbing and then said "can we watch Bluey?"

Being a Vet is now what being a doctor used to be when it comes to the financial rewards. I can't believe what they charge and people will pay without question. Less hassle than the doctor route due to the hospital ownership issue but the same problem is encroaching on the vets with corporate ownership taking over the Vet market. Our dog was bitten by a snake a while back and it costs thousands of dollars.
Even the George Rogers OL? Steve Gettel, George Schecterly, et al.
Also the 1984 OL?
