It's rude to talk about me right in front of me.

I have suggested repeatedly that one fan be selected to wrestle a bear every pre-game but you know how uptight Chicago is. No one get's to have any fun.

Absolutely agree this game is the Super Bowl. It's one of those years that I wish the playoffs weren't divided by conferences. I'm calling it the other way, however. I'm a big believer in momentum at the end of a season and I think Seahawks have that. I think it's @Glenn 's year. I just want a close game final game. There are few things more disappointing than a blowout in the Super Bowl.

He should be doing a happy dance. Harbaugh landed in NY on day 1 and fired everyone and then hired five new people just to fire them also . @Darren. is going to get a coach AND backup QB all in one.

I used to fish year round and, once the ice sealed everything else up, I would go to a cooling lake for a nuclear reactor. I fished a few times when the air temps were in the single digits. Every time I had to wear my Gore-Tex rain gear. The water coming out of the discharge is so hot that you are fishing in steam. Every single thing gets soaking wet and then freezes. The very first time I fished in those conditions I made the mistake of pulling out a rod lined with braid. After the second cast the braid was loaded with water. It freezes as you get it out of the warm lake water. By the fourth or fifth cast I could no longer reel in line because ice had piled up on the tip of the rod. I still fish this in winter but the catch rate isn't good enough to keep me out in weather that cold anymore. Not to mention the boat ramp which isn't salted. I had to pull a guy and his boat up it once. Fortunately he wasn't sliding into the lake, but he certainly wasn't going anywhere without help.

Same.

Heeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...

Well I hope you're sitting down. Fox and SI are reporting that Brian Daboll is leading the pack. Because the team he was just fired from has performed so much bett.......never mind.

Great season! No more magic in the hat. Looking forward to next year.

We deal in ridiculousness.

Right on cue. Bears gameplan is coming together. We want to be down by at least 28 at the half. If the Rams were smart they would let us score a few touchdowns. We can't win if we're winning.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's got it. I'm waiting for it to happen.

I use a 7'3" Jacob Wheeler (the old version) in a M/H. It's extremely parabolic which, it turns out, is not only helpful in keeping a fish pinned with trebles, but it's also spectacular for rolling deep cranks on the bottom. I found that I can bounce cranks in deep water at a MUCH slower pace (when I want to) because the rod is such an "absorber". I actually have a heavy version that I've used for my largest deep cranks (and huge spinner baits).

Oh man. It's you and me against the world, brother! Best description of Josh Allen I've ever heard.

Well...you caught the right one. That's perfect!

Steph and I were blessed to be able to get away for a few days to Bardstown, KY. We already had it booked Wed-Sat when Woodford Reserve announced they were releasing their annual Double Double Oaked Bourbon. That creates a huge traffic jam at the distillery. We just lucked into being there the same day. We got to sit down with only 18 other people for a special tasting with Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall who brought her own barrel pick. She and Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris are really geniune people who took an interest in all of us. They signed our Double Double bottles too. We also got up early one morning to stand in line for some allocated bourbons at Heaven Hill. Picked up our favorite private cask available only at the Chicken **** distillery. We spent every evening with friends at The Volstead Bourbon Lounge. Excellent, relaxing mini-vacation.

On the opening kickoff I thought I was watching the Bears. That was brutal.

Sorry, my opinion and I'm right. I also hate Megabass, Starbucks, viral challenges, IPAs, nearly every Super Bowl halftime show, and fluorocarbon (except for leaders). Your team got an unfair injury to their QB. I hope your backup kicks butt. (I don't know anything about Megabass. I'm just being divisive because it's cool on social media).

Just want to send my condolences to both Bills and Broncos fans (sincerely). What a great game. I like Josh Allen. I'm not a Bills fan so I don't watch all their games and I can't figure out his total failure in playoffs AND overtime games. Seems like he COULD be a contender, but he definitely isn't and I don't know why. It was dumb mistakes that caused the Bills loss and I'm sorry for you. I was rooting for you. Broncos fans. What can I say? What an outstanding defense. I felt strongly that you had a great chance. One ankle injury away. I know Payton has confindence in this backup because he drags him everywhere and keeps paying him more money every year. I hope he's right, for your sake. My take on it is that Payton is, and always has been, a poor coach that stumbles by accident into great teams (occasionally). I hope your backup excels for you. You have a great team. Me? I'm all Bears. I'm guessing this is our last game. HOWEVER, I guessed the same thing for the past 11-teen games. We don't deserve to win a Super Bowl...until we do. Go Bears!

I am old so I keep my display settings larger than recommended. That causes me to not be able to see parts of pages. Make sure your display setting isn't larger or zoomed in.

That's awesome!!!

Well, you're old forum has divorced you. Maybe if you posted more pics of flowers and opened up about your feelings on the forum more often you wouldn't be in this pickle.

When it comes to tech stuff I'm pretty much a drunk person with a head injury. I'm going to assume there are at least a couple other similar users on here so once I finally figured these two things out I thought I would share them: I like to see everything that's new when I log on instead of list of forums. That is this button in the upper right corner. Heck, maybe it has always been there! But I haven't had to find it in many years so...here you go: LOVE the new feed @Glenn. Great layout for seeing what's new! EDIT: And this drop down box lets you make the feed view permanent. Also, DARK MODE. This one took me longer to find. Lower left corner. Love this also. Me too. I haven't figured that one out yet. I just click on the logo to go back to home screen and then the menu button works.

THAT is how you start a year! Outstanding.
