I was at that game!
I knew that the TD would stand when they wouldn't show the play review on the stadium's big screen. So did a majority of the fans judging by the dejected looks on their faces.

What a fantastic moment.

Hey ICESHACK149, I see your in Fairbanks. I was stationed at FT. Wainwright back in the mid 90's, from 94-97. Whats the daily high temps for the summer up there.

It's been somewhat rainy so far this summer which is tough since we had an old fashioned 1980's type winter (extremely cold) last year. We've seen mid-seventies a handful of times but it's been in the sixties primarily. That's a bit odd since, if you can recall, by now we should have seen some mid 80's and quite a few mid 70's days.

I'm about to fish the Russian River by Soldotna rain or shine because when you're catching fish, the weather doesn't matter.

Used to pack a half case of beer, fly rod and a little whiskey across the Ferry and would watch the mayhem. Then walk down stream a ways and catch our reds. Great times indeed. Would stay in Centennial Park, hit Good Time Charlies and have a blast. Enjoy!!

That's how you know it's your year. That kind of stuff happens for you.

Redskins? I cancel them every year. This year is no different...meh.

Meachem was a man ahead of his time ... cancelling the Redskins!

Why don't they just assign random 4 digit numbers to teams and have them all wear the same color, filtering for obviously offensive numbers and colors of course? Doesn't that seem like a more woke and egalitarian solution? Why stop there, there's plenty of hierarchical power structures to dismantle!

Why have different hairstyles? They should all be fully shaved so as not to discriminate against those losing their hair.

How about they all wear full body coverings so as not to be identified, with no names on their jerseys.

Since sports is all about it, hell, why don't we require teams to sign and play a certain number of non-athletes, that way I could live my NFL dream completely unfettered by the unfair power structure of competence that girds this tyrannical institution.

Tell me what great leap forward or innovation ever came out of censorship? More freedom is the only way to prosper, not less. If you want to change the name, buy it, own it, and change it yourself; otherwise, go find something else to do that doesn't degrade your mental stability to the point of not being able to function.
