Q – Mike, You have
CB JALEN RAMSEY – FLORIDA STATE
OT RONNIE STANLEY – NOTRE DAME
OLB MYLES JACK – UCLA
OLB JAYLON SMITH – NOTRE DAME
Setting there in the first round.
Who is your pick?
Things may change, but as you know I haven’t been thrilled with our O-line, and it’s time to bring in a young LT, hopefully one that can actually stay here and be a standout player for a decade or so. It’s so painfully obvious what a difference there is when #76, Branden Albert is on the field, and when he isn’t. Let’s finally draft our other bookend, and with Pouncey, and maybe Turner and either Douglas or Thomas, we can have some continuity on our O-line. Maybe this OT can start at G his first season so he has value and gets playing experience, and then the following year, replaces #76.
All the other players I’d love to have, and I do recognize we really need a CB here. I suppose I could go CB or LB in RD 1, and then grab a OT in the 2nd or 3rd RD. I’d just hate to skimp on possibly the most important position on the O-line, especially since our O-line has been a letdown, admittedly, partially due to Lazor’s offense.
Really, it’s like switching chairs around on a sinking Titanic. Does it matter? We have a lot of holes to fill, and lord we knows we need CB’s and LB, but since the league is so biased towards offense, get the best you can to make the offense work.
So, with the 11th pick in the 2016 NFL draft . . .
The Miami Dolphins select OT, Notre Dame, Ronnie Stanley
______________________________________________
After 9 games played, the Miami Dolphins stand at 4-5. Not what any of us fans had hoped for, after what seemed like a promising off season. The problems, or holes if you will, are many. While the run game has shown lots of promise, it still remains a second citizen in Lazor’s offense. I can’t think of one good reason for that to be the case, especially with Rookie Jay Ajayi showing he’s ready to roll, and busting out some big runs with few opportunities. The cabinet is NOT bare behind Lamar Miller, so let’s run the ball. Nice 1-2 punch of Miller and Ajayi. It seems painfully obvious that the O-line doesn’t struggle when run blocking, so keep at it!
On defense, far too many holes exist. Grimes is slipping, and although rookie Bobby McCain shows promise, I’m not convinced he’d be starting anywhere else but here, out of sheer desperation. For once, it’s not the CB’s that are the worst unit now. With Jelani Jenkins, Koa Misi and Spencer Paysinger banged up, we have Mike Hull, Neville Hewitt and Zach Vigil. The ALL UNDRAFTED team!
BTW, back to the standings. Miami is in last place in the AFC East, but what really freaks me out is we’re the only team with a negative point differential. We’re -34, while the Jets and Bills are at +33 and +24 respectively, and the Pats are in an other worldly +134.
McPain had a nice sack this past week knocking Eagles QB Sam Bradford out of the game!
OK, so back to the NFL standings, and what it means for our team. As silly as it may seem, we still have a shot at the playoffs, due to how poorly the rest of the AFC is playing. We need one of the 2 teams in our division to fall, either the Jets or Bills. We probably need the Steelers to fall too. We need the Chiefs and Raiders to stay about where they are, and we need the Colts and Texans to stay on their current path as well. It’s a lot, it really is, because along with all that, we need to go on a tear, and I mean win almost every game. Maybe we have a one game cushion, but that’s not necessarily the case. It’s a pipe dream, but hey, why not?

——————————–
CAN MIAMI’s O-Line give Tanny enough time to throw medium range passes?? – – To me, that’s one of the two keys to what’s now a Pick ’em game in Las Vegas. The other key element? –Can the Fins D-Line put enough pressure on Romo to force him into turnovers, either interceptions or fumbles? His royal rustyness hasn’t played a real game for about two months. If SUH brings the HEAT, there will be turnovers. –One final factor. Is THIS the week Jay Ajayi runs for over 100 yards?? If it is, Miami will win this game!!
——————————
A COUPLE of D-1 head footbal coaches have already lost their jobs this season at U. of Miami and Central Florida. FAU’s Charlie Partridge could be the third if the Owls get slaughtered at Florida on Saturday (UF’s favored by 31). Conversely, if FAU keeps the game reasonably close, AND if they win their final game next week, Partridge may yet save his job Partridge is a good recruiter but he’s NOT a particularly clever game day strategist. We shall see. I would not be surprised if he becomes the 3rd D-1 head coach in Florida to be fired this season.

C’mon man, you know Dolphins LOVE the water, it favors the Dolphins!
Pigs too
See now THAT,I didn’t know
Its baffling to me that Ryan Tannehill is not allowed to audible
I think its time to give him this option
Agreed- unless there is a reason they won’t let him… outside of them just being stubborn, I mean.
From that David Hyde article:
“Did Joe Philbin (and his staff) misjudge the talent of receiver Rishard Matthews in the same manner they did linebacker Jelani Jenkins?”
What does this even mean? We all know what the deal has been with Matthews and Jenkins started some games as a rookie, and has been a starter since his 2nd season now in his 3rd.
he’s just pouring it on
I think he means why did Matthews was not involved more in the offense like he is this year
but I think that is a wrong assumption
day 3 draft picks usually don;t contribute right away
I think Matthews has developed into what he is now and a lot of that is also just good chemistry with Tanny which has developed over time
I think Jenkins was starting fairly early into his career
Right. This is not the first year Matthews has made plays. But Matthews also had some discipline and concentration issues with drops his first few years as well.
I love how vigorously Tim defends the Dolphins organization
Well when David Hyde is basically making stuff up I point out how wrong he is. He’s totally clueless on Jenkins as Piggy also pointed out.
It’s not just Hyde Tim, and it’s OK. You just have a definite history of defending coaches and the organization in general. Nothing wrong with that.
OK, so Tannehill can’t audible, or isn’t allowed. Or is he? Will we ever know the truth on this?
he isn’t allowed to audible
Isn’t that what everyone is saying
why he is not allowed is a different question
Does anyone really know that for sure though? Maybe that’s what the Dolphins want everyone to think. I have no idea. I’ve heard broadcasters say it a bunch of times, criticizing Tannehill and the Dolphins for it, but maybe they’re wrong.
Mike E, I’m not defending coaches, I’m pointing out inaccuracies because I follow the team and that’s not how it went down.
If Tannehill simply doesn’t have the wherewithal to audible – we’re screwed
If they don’t/won’t let him – we’re screwed
We need big league coaching. Can Joe Madden coach football? Cause we need him.
I think too much is being made of it and I don’t think Hyde really knows the details. You can see changes being made on the field based on what the defense is doing. Remember passing plays have multiple options anyway.
The biggest issue we have on offense is Lazor calling too much shotgun and gimmicky crap and not committing to the running game enough.
Campbell said it not Hyde
It’s obvious they don’t audible, I’ve noticed it, because sometimes we’re in a bad play against certain defensive alignments, you can see it’s gonna be bad and we run it anyway.
There was one play last game i heard what i thought was an audible from him. Could be it was faked, part of the play design, but he turned to the back and called something then the players shifted before the snap. It wound up being a epic fail of a play too so im ok with him not being able to audible if that’s the results.
Either way it was one time and i would say i dont generally ever hear him audible otherwise.
Dan Campbell said on Wednesday that Tannehill could audible his first two years under offensive coordinator Mike Sherman but the feeling was, “it slows him down and his rhythm.”
That is a pretty damning statement right there. No coach is going to come out and say “He just can’t do it”. But when the coaches think you’re better off NOT using audibles, what conclusions are you supposed to draw from it? What kind of offense doesn’t audible?
It goes back to his ability to read the defense. It affects his downfield passing reads and his pre-snap reads. It might be a limited football IQ at thispoint in his career and having such limited experience at QB in college but there have been times i have seen the defense telegraph like crazy what they are doing and therefore he should know what route is likely open and he misses it pre-snap to make adjustments and post snap looking away from what they are flat out giving to him.
Between Lazor’s ineffectiveness at disguising plays and Tannys inability to read and make adjustments, there are times i can tell this is going to be a big ole failure of a play before the snap, and if i can see it just think how someone like Rex Ryan, etc feels about our offense. They feel emboldened to put their ears back and just throw everything at him whenever they want.
It’s a frustrating offense to watch.
I also wonder if maybe Lazor’s offense with all it’s moving parts, the shifts and motions, make it more difficult to audible. With all the presnap movement it may limit what you can do.
Son, what I’m saying is most plays have options going in, it isn’t just one option. An audible is a total play change so that’s not what we do. But Hyde said he wrote about this a month ago or so and that Philbin didn’t really explain it so it’s not just based on what Campbell said.
Again, our issues on offense at times is not because of audibles.
On any play the receivers could have multiple options, and generally at least 2 options depending on what they see of how their defender is playing them. Tanny has to see that same setup and therefore be on same page with what the receiver runs. When you see plays where the QB throws the complete opposite direction of where the receiver cut, thats generally when they weren’t on the same page. So chemistry is big for that.
I also really think Tanny just hasn’t gotten there with the reads, and i mean looking at the defense and how its lined up and having an idea if they are zone/man/press across the DB’s and LB’s. He definitely cant spot the blitz packages, but Pouncey is suppose to call those out. Good QB’s though can read it and already have their pocket plan in place when they see it.
Auidibles are for when the play thats call has 0 chance of success looking at the defensive alignment, like you have a power run play called on a run blitz defensive line up. Thats going to fail, so you might want to audible to a screen or middle crossing route to take advantage of the gap that will be there when the LB’s blitz. Only really football smart QB’s should be calling audibles a lot.
So this is the type of people who are joining ISIS now.

Man, Telvin Smith was a 5th rounder for the Jags, he’s a good player.
Yeah he has. I think he would have been a higher pick has he had better physical attributes. I think there was too much concern that his college position and play would translate to the NFL where bigger players would affect him. Turns out he has played very well.
You see what stories like this creates. Now people immediately go into Tannehill isn’t smart enough to audible and shit like that. The media throws out a lure, people bite and start going off making all kinds of assumptions when nobody really knows the depth of what we do on offense.
This sort of stuff has happened so many times and then you find out it’s not totally accurate or a big deal. But we spend 48 hours making comments about it not really knowing much about it.
Its not intelligence but i would agree with football IQ criticisms. Its because he still is just barley where a rookie QB would be in terms of experience at the position, due to how little experience he had at the position in college. That kind of thing for most QB’s is a developed trait, only really rare ones seem to have it instinctively.
What?
It’s no different than the stories about how good we are and then we spend 48 hours jerking each other off about how good this team is, lol. Best WR core in the league, best defense in the league, and so on. Then reality sets in and we find out we suck 🙂

Lazor has been the OC since last year. Why game 10 of season 2 are we talking about Tanny not being able to audible?
Because his coach just told everyone he doesn’t and can’t
Why did the topic come up?
Becaue last week it looked as if he did call and audible and it was an epic fail. Some of the media people probably caught on about it and asked about the audible and they defneded it saying he isnt calling audibles, and then next question is “well why isnt he allowed to call audibles.” I think they kinda got set up and now media is making more of it than there is there.
Because we have an ineffective offense and it’s only natural to talk about the reasons for that. Lazor is definitely a big part of the problem, nobody disagrees with that, but this isn’t Tanny’s first OC, nor the first that doesn’t have him audible.

——————————————–
It gives him less time to plan pre-snap. Offense shifts, defense shifts with it and he has to re-read, and call the play. Since we arent going up-tempo but shifting like we are, it means he has very little time to re-read and adjust. It doesnt present a lot of opportunity to audible.
Tannehill, I was noticing in the Eagles game, seems to cut the field in half quite a bit. A couple of times he took massive hits from the blind side and never once looked left. Besides not looking that way he must also not have very good peripheral vision because he just had no idea.
From snap to sack his eyes never went left
I have seen him glance back and still not see it. The strip sack vs buffalo, he looked back and if he didnt see Fox getting absolutely obliterated he is blind as a bat. He then turned his back to him and drew his arm back to pass at which time he got stripped by Hughes and Hughes recovered it.
Like on the play where nobody picked up the blitzer?
There were more than 1 that I noticed but even in the instance of a free rusher if looked that way at all he would be able to throw it over his head or god forbid make a play with his legs.
Tim, there are plays where no one is there to pick it up…. Its on Tanny to read the blitz and have a plan to step out of it. Im not saying there arent breakdowns you cant account for but he stood there like a statue back in the first buffalo game when Bacari Rambo came on a safety blitz up the middle, with him in a naked backfield and he didnt move one step, the safety telegraphed the blitz, he came from semi deep in the secondary giving him plenty of time to pick it up and adjust and he didnt move one step. He steps just to the side , either way on that play and Rambo runs all the way to Jacksonville and hopefully finds the guy who is in the zone Rambo was in for a completion.
ME and Coach Rambo both……why leave a weapon unfired?
——————————-
Tannehill has just 17 carries for 44 yards this season, a huge step backward from last year, when he had 311 yards on 56 carries. Campbell says the Dolphins haven’t taken Tannehill’s runs out of the playbook, and they’re hoping to get Tanehill more active with his legs.
“That’s certainly still in our package,” Campbell said. “Would we like to run him more? Yeah.”
I’d like to see Miller and Ajayi run more.
Ajayi looked really solid last week. I would love to see him get more carries against Dallas.
They need to get Tanny in the film room and put a defensive lineup on the projector which is displaying over a whiteboard. He needs to be shown a shot of the defense before the snap and then he needs to draw out the players x’s and o’s style and then draw where he thinks they will be going based on what the defense is showing. They need to advance the frames and show him where they wind up and then explain to him why he was wrong. They do this day in and day out he likely will begin to see the defenses pre-snap and the rest will wall into place.
Do that with the receivers as well and see where they differ on opinion and then let them talk it out and get on the same page.
Are you saying this hasn’t already been done?
The front office is against white boards Mike, Duh.
No he’s never done this, he’s only played QB at a major college and has been in the NFL for 4 years. 😉
Well if they have then he isnt getting it still, you have to assume what they have tried isnt working. Im sure they have let him watch film and discussed it with him btu i dont know if they have ever made him predictively draw it out and then figure out why he thought the wrong thing.
Son, QBs have to trust their OL, TEs and RBs to pick that stuff up, especially the blind side, that’s why they call it that, it’s the blind side. Tanny’s not the first QB to get blind sided and as a matter of fact, he rarely gets blind sided, but it did happen twice last week. The one that rocked him a bit where you saw him taking deep breaths on the side line could have been called a penalty on the blitzer for launching himself into the QB.
If it’s the play I’m thinking of, that wasn’t Tanny’s fault. Albert doubled the inside guy and left a free rusher on a stunt. Wasn’t even a blitz.
I’m recalling a play where he was able to stand in there for ample time to get rid of the ball or at least scan the left side. I noticed it several times.
That is different than the one I’m thinking of then. The one I’m thinking of, Tanny got hit pretty quickly.
Yeah that was completely on Albert, i think he thought his guy was going to cover a zone instead of rush because he paused before rushing. Albert turned inside to assist Thomas (who didnt need it that play) and then the guy rushes and Albert cant correct and get back to him.
Yep, that’s the play I was thinking of.
QB’s have to trust their line and so forth yes but they also have to get rid of the ball in under 2.5 seconds so when you lock on your receiver and wait for him the pocket is breaking down, he at times has to come off and see more of the field. Watch him Sunday, quite often he never looks to one side. This is how he has missed uncovered receivers or the deep ball when his receiver got past the corner.
I think Tanny is takes enough hits on passing downs. I’m actually ok with the fact they are running him less. I have my criticisms of Tanny but he is the best QB we have, and it’s not even close. If he gets injured, the season gets really ugly.
But if you establish the threat of him running it softens up the coverage and makes them change their schemes. And I’m not saying he needs to fight for every last year after contact or even get into contact.
It seems this year defenses are closing that QB rush down more effectively and for Tanny to make it an effective play he has to take a hit which I’d rather not see. Admittedly that could just be my perception, but I don’t see those free rushing lanes for him like we did last year.
True on that — seems the DCs have adjusted to the read option. That might carry over to the roll out…..but heck Tanny can run. Would still like to see him take off more.
LOL, what I just said earlier about how people run with a topic making all kinds of assumptions with limited knowledge of the situation is in full swing now.
Like your knowledge of the situation and how you are running with it, same as the rest is with better knowledge? Again, i put up there what i think would help him, you said it was already being done but wouldnt that be an assumption on your part just like it was on mine? You know for certainty they do that exact drill with him.
Also this knowledge that Tanny is fine, the audible situation is normal, etc comes from some insider information where you know the situation and the rest of this are just jumping to conclusions?
I think the discussion here is just fine despite the differences in opinion.
He’s under .500 for his career, under .500 this year and has zero playoff appearances now I may be of limited knowledge but I’m not blind either.
He is or the team is? 😉

I remember as a kid wondering why we never had “ends meat” for dinner cause they sure talked about making it all the time.
Guess your family was able to afford the middle of the roast.
D, have at it then. I think it’s a topic that is spinning into all kinds of other criticisms because you and others feel like criticizing RT. Didn’t we just win on the road where he played pretty well? It’s as if he’s the only QB who doesn’t make a mistake here and there. The Eagles DL and front 7 gave our protections a tough time but we hung in there and got the win. Games aren’t always pretty.
He was ok but didn’t do shit late second qtr or at the end of the game for the most part. In other words it was a normal outing but the D just happened to show up.
Well you can blame him for it but this offense has lots of issues including the guy calling the plays. I’m not saying Tanny is awesome and has no flaws, I just think too many people put it on him when there are more glaring issues that are a problem.
We saw and read reports like Pouncey got steamrolled by Cox and really struggled in the Eagles game. That’s a pretty significant issue to have when your center is having a rough day. Other OL also had rough moments. Then you have an OC calling cutesy plays when there is no need to. The entire offense needs to get better from the HC to the OC to the players. Focus on what you do well instead of fucking around with all these other plays that aren’t necessary.
No i dont think he played particularly well and the team didnt really play particularly well with exception of the usual suspects. We backed into that win, and in fact the winning TD was a very bad pass by Tanny that LUCKILY was a tipped pass we got to and not them. Tipped passes, especially those that bounce that high in the air almost always go to the defense, and if that had happened, it was game over for us.
That tipped TD was at the beginning of the 4 qtr, that wasn’t game over. The Eagles would have had the ball at the 20 unless they ran it out of there which I doubt they would have done.
Can Suh go on the 50 greatest Dolphins list yet?
What is ends meat?
The end of the roast or cut, which is not the best part.
So “can’t even make ends meat” means can’t even afford the cheap stuff.
I had to take a second job to make ends meet.
i give a thumbs up to trypods response.
Rishard Matthews leads the Dolphins in receiving yards, touchdowns and 20-plus-yard receptions.

Agreed about them not running it out if they had picked it off. It would have been incredibly stupid of them to it out of the endzone after a pick unless they had a very clear path…
Yeah it was a jump ball not a pick and run type play.

Tim so the way we were stalling on every drive, and without that we would not have had a lead
I know just saying that wasn’t game over. They weren’t doing anything either.
Stanger, I did not know that’s where “can’t even make ends meat” came from.
I guess you were talking cuts of meat.If not google it…
Old saying Tim — sometimes I don’t think people these days realize how lucky we are.
My Dad grew up poor during the Depression. Sunday was a big night — the one day they bought some nice meat. On Monday they had “Gravy Bread.” That was toasted bread with the gravy from Sunday on it. Couldn’t afford meat two days in a row.
my grandfather had similar stories where they got coal from the trains track where trains workers shoveled it over the steam room heaters. The grandparents would use this to heat house and cooking. How lucky are we. Very…
Js — surprised you had to go to your grandfather on that. Think you are probably a bit older than me, but then my parents had me late. Same, same though……these days people on welfare live better than the average person in the Great Depression did.
yeah i’m very young compared to you. I’m a young 37 according to new math on calculating age.
LOL — all that matters is you are who you are Js (and btw I have no idea how old you actually are).
did any of you see the price per pound of turkey this year dropped to 59 cents per pound. Piggy must be happy but we are still having turkey and ham for thanksgiving.
Stanger, I understand what it was like to have meat only one day a week and on Sunday, my family did the same thing. I didn’t grow up poor, but we were by no means wealthy.
Those types of sayings usually come from issues like that. Many wonderful dishes people crave today were pauper meals.
It is funny how some of the “cheap meals” ended up becoming better for you. Sorta like how only the nobility got the gout way back when.
I always thought the expression was “Can’t make ends meet”. I thought it had to do with being able to make enough money to meet the end of month bills. Guess not.
I was going off what I assumed, but you very well could be right. Just googled it and this one is up for grabs…….with versions of what you thought competing with what I did.
remember the days when milk was left at your doorsteps in the mornings. I wonder if our parents had to call in the order?
You think any of the kids in high school know what a milkman really is?
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-mak1.htm
Shiot — looks like the debate has been going on for 900 years……but seems it is at least spelled “meet.” Thanks Herd.
—————————-
It’s old enough that it has centuries ago become an idiom, a turn of phrase that we don’t usually stop to think about at all, though we understand immediately that to make ends meet is to have enough money to live on. The oldest example I can find is from Thomas Fuller’s The History of the Worthies of England of about 1661: “Worldly wealth he cared not for, desiring only to make both ends meet; and as for that little that lapped over he gave it to pious uses”, but the fact that Fuller is making a little joke using it suggests he already knew of it as a set phrase.
I guess that’s how we got the balance sheet in accounting
Tannehill Sucks!
Well he’s no Blake Bortles
wow, are you guy way off. that isnt even close to what ‘making ends meet’ means
I remember milk being delivered. I also remember diaper cleaning services.
I knew about the milkman, but not the diaper cleaning service. People used to send their dirty diapers to an outside service for cleaning?
I guess that must have been when they were all cloth, before pampers and other plastic diapers came about?
we were poor and we cleaned our own. I heard about dirty cleaning diapers cleaning service recently. Makes sense now a days considering how expensive disposable diapers are.
Cav — seems by standard on this board you are a kiddie. 🙂
Yep — exactly what happened. Pampers eventually put them out of business just like 7-11 did the Milkman.
I remember the guy coming by to sharpen lawn mower blades on the old push mowers. He’d bang on his anvil with a wrench to serve as his bell to let you know he was there.
Jetssuck, no order for the milkman, he’d replace the number of empties with full bottles. Glass bottles.
that’s right, we had a wooden box out front. Remember charles chips in the canister?
I never had a milkman, but I did have a soda man. He delivered soda and seltzer, in those cool blue and green glass bottles with the pressure nozzles.
The diaper service business had a resurgence recently but its a small market share.
Charles Chips
^ Not related to the diaper service
no but it is related the great times we grew up in. Charles chips was a service by a potato chip company that delivered potato chips to your front door in a tin can. Now a days people get 4-5 bags of frito-lay chips each week from supermarket.
The first time the expression was uttered it was:
“Ye asshole of ends and meetings”
So that is how it should be said
Stanger watching tortoise porn.
Thanks you just got everyone fired
LMAO
Not to self — time to buy some moisterizer.
i remember the milk man making deliveries too. did your milk man alway leave $2 dollars on your moms night stand also. our always did, he was such a nice guy, he always left with a smile on his face.
I hope you didn’t drink the “milk”
Here is a photo of an unemployed turtle
…sad right?
Look what GDP did!
on a serious note, any of you guys know of a good back ground service. a client just asked and i have never had a need for one.
The term is “..ends mEEt”, not “..ends mEAt”. It has to do with being able to meet your financial obligations with your income. Most likely it has a separate, unrelated etymology- think circles.
…but I was very carnivorous even as a young boy so when my parents talked about making ends “meat” I was all for it!
But could that only be because Thomas Fuller was only making a pun on an already common saying nine centuries ago? Both could actually be right, especially cause the alternative scenario that doesn’t make me wrong. 🙂
I like your turkey/pig avi, Piggs. Looks good on you.

I hope you didn’t drink the “milk”
i never did but my mom always had one of those milk mustaches when he left.
Mine had a chocolate milk mustache…hey wait a minute
One of our favorites as a kid was the Ice Cream Truck Mister Softee.
We had Freezer Fresh
Mint Green Truck
We had Peter Pallagi
Thats a Pedohilemobile
Is it possible that “Can’t make ends meet” was remedied by the movie “Requiem for a Dream”?
Or the Human Centipede
or
or
or
big ass ham
if you didn’ notice a pig’s ass once – try twice
lol @ son.
you may want to do a name change to son brutha of a brutha of a shula
This is why Piggy is a Keaper fan!
I was drunk

LOL @ Mike E on “Is it possible that “Can’t make ends meet” was remedied by the movie “Requiem for a Dream”?”
Yeah thats what i was thinking lol.

The terrorst asked the hostages to quote a religous muslam verse to determine what religion they were—sounds like our potus saying we don’t do that
Son, so some of us had ice cream trucks and where you grew up you had man named Peter Pallagi? LOL
He was the ice cream man, he had a cool truck too
“hey kids, want some ice creame…come inside”

I never had a milkman, but I did have a soda man. He delivered soda and seltzer, in those cool blue and green glass bottles with the pressure nozzles.
—————————————–
Was his name Unga or Bunga…. Also hate to burst your bubble, pun intended, but those “bubbly waters” were his own creation and im not going to tell you what orifice the bubbles were made with but it rhymes with hut-hole. Cavemen were sly salesmen,
His name was Eli. Hammer soda, and C02 seltzer bottles. They made serious spritzers
Tim, notice from Pawtucket RI, where I was born
You were born in 1917?
cool looking trucks- model t?
remember the days or evenings when the family went to drive in movies threathes(sic) ?
How’d they get the car in their house? and did everyone that was watching have to have their own netflix subscription or could they share?
we didn’t even have dinosores for the gas yet, I have no idea why they had outdoor movie theatres first.
I remember before they had 20z cokes, im not sure how we survived. I also remember having to watch football on like a 40″ screen….everyone was so tine you could hardly read Marion on the jersey.
tiny
and Marino ….for fucks sake.
Marion is applicable as well (Brock Marion)
Is that the ice cream truck I hear outside
LOL
OMG

Mike Francesa just reiterated he’s been told that Ross likes Campbell and wants him to succeed but he wants to see him win more and Campbell knows this. Ross has not reached out to any other coaching candidates at this time.
I thought Tannenbaum likes Haley in Pitt, he’s also a Parcells tree branch
I don’t know but Francesa knows Tannenbaum so I’ve been thinking he’s his source. That said, Ross will pick the HC.
Campbell is a guy everyone likes i think. Its hard not to like and pull for him. End of the day its a business though and im sure the decision will be business one and whats best for the team, personal feelings aside. I wouldnt be reaching out to candidate right now either or at least not publicly. The had mentioned previously though that they had inquired about Payton, so im not sure i trust the validity of the source.
latest update—–27 reported dead
The Mali hotel thing?….damn last time i had looked it was 10, up from 3 that was reported early this morning.
thats what i got from newspaper report, not cnn yet
http://www.independent.ie/world-news/africa/mali-hostage-siege-27-dead-death-toll-rising-at-mali-hotel-after-eighthour-siege-34218798.html
reports say it may be Al-queda, which is good itf its them because they are competing with isis then. Brooking think tank had a report published month or two ago says they think it would be good if the two groups competed.
Not sure i want them competing lol. Competition drive innovation and performace, so we wind up with more sophisticated and successful terrorists…
It was a brooking institute that is a washington think tank.They had some idea’s on why it would be good and why it could be bad. It’s was a balanced researched article from the institution. I’ll look for it and post it

D,
get this, and i hope you are sitting down for this one. there was a time you actually had to get up off the sofa and walk up to the tv to change the channel. of course it wasnt a big deal, you only had 3 vhf and 1 uhf channel to choose from.
So inhumane….
we’ve come so far
I always remember 7 stations – 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13.

on a serious note, any of you guys know of a good back ground service. a client just asked and i have never had a need for one.
They do background checks where I work. I can send you the info.
Tgst doesn’t read right. We don’t do the checks. We have a company do them on all new hires.
And in spite of that they hired me. 😏
Its because all the murders were before you were 15, and purged on your 18th birthday.

remember when you had to have a bottle opener or risk going to the dentist
^not a good idea
al-Qaeda and ISIS competing still means innocent lives are lost so the best we can hope for is they both are destroyed.
We could also hope for a nice mutton sandwich, so we could hope for more… Where the mutton is lean…
It would be better^
An MLT: mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean. LOL
There you go!🐏
If I’m correct the brooking report said we can hope they destroy each other or drastically weaken one another.
here’s one 4 u guys—-remember when you had to wait to call someone in another city to save on long distance charges. Remember you had to pay 25 cents to call someone in next county even though county was only 3 miles away. Remember they only had rotary phones and before that you had the crank up phone before you got operator?
rotary phones
click click click click click
I remember in some movie they figure out a phone number by listening to the clicks
I don;t remember which movie though
or the unique sounds for each digit. Bill Gates and apple CEO guy movie?
Do you guys remember when pigs were free to roam the Earth
unharrassed by humans
unthreatened by the hot pan of bacon
free without fear of roasting
Dialing a rotary phone was a PITA. When you dialed the wrong number, you knew your fingers would be bleeding having to dial again. lol
remember we didn’thave to dial the area code either. These poor kids now a days
click click click click
You also didn’t know who was calling so when you picked it up and it was Aunt Bertha you were stuck. LOL
Telephone? Calling people? Who does that anymore? With the exception of my mom, I’m 99% all texting now. I get annoyed when people call me. lol
LOL, some people I still talk with, but I text with a lot of people as well.
I can remember going thru a switchboard and having a part line….beat that ya young whippersnappers.
I loved when another line would glitch like a party line and you could hear the conversation and fuck with them. LOL
LOL @ Tim, So true!
Party line….and this was when I was a teenager. 25 foot long phone cord, so you could walk upstairs to get some privacy.
herd,
It drives me nuts when my daughter takes an hour to periodically text me information she could have just called and told me in 5 minutes! Lol
You: Hello!
Aunt Bertha: Hello darling.
You: Oh fuck me!
Aunt Bertha: What was that dear?
You: Nothing Aunt Bertha, I sneezed.
Aunt Bertha: Oh god bless you honey.
You: Kill me.
Aunt Bertha: What was that dear?
You: Nothing Aunt Bertha, how are you?
Aunt Bertha to her Psychiatrist: What is wrong with my family, I called my little nephew the other day and he told me to fuck him then kill him…Why would he say that? what is happening to the world!
LMAO!!!!
Here’s another one. Remember when you were a kid and you had that one chance to see all the Christmas shows when they were broadcast? Peanuts, Rudolph and Frosty? My kids have them all on DVD. Nothing special about it at all.
Yeah
We thought they were special bc we waited to see them and only had one shot
Herd
The thing I remember that was special about all those Peanuts specials and the Christmas specials was that I got to stay up a little later than normal, and that was cool.
party line? man you had it made. i remember having to use these.
LOL @ GDP serving up some hardcore turtle porn. Was that turtle over 18?
are you suggesting that GDP posted shellbait?
LOL
randy,
my daughter is even worse then that. i state over and over, i dont mind texting but i dont want to have a conversation via text. so she will text me something and i text back and she text back so it is turning into a conversation, so i will just call her. now you just fucking texted me i know you are holding your phone and i call you and you dont answer. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG i know she is just looking at her phone going, ‘yeah yeah dad, learn to text a conversation and laughing her ass off’
or as my son will tell me when texting.
‘learn to use your thumbs’

————–
I completely identify with this. My middle daughter communicates primarily through text message, I get to spend 5 times longer working on a message where I say 5 times less than I would if we’d just TALKED over the SAME DAMN PHONES. lol
I don’t like text conversations either unless they’re just brief points, not ongoing ramblings.
I get so frustrated with her. If I try to have a phone conversation she becomes monosyllabic, but she’ll chatter away via text. I have a damned flip-phone so it takes me 10 minutes to type out two sentences, lol.
