Have you guys heard Tiger Woods says he is going to play in the Masters this year?

Claypool released a statement saying he was with Haskins in his final moments and Haskins’ only thoughts were making sure everyone else was okay.  
 

Either the pedestrian is in the wrong, or the driver is at fault.  If the driver is at fault, it should be vehicular homicide — no?

even then, still sauce.

I think its more a regional thing. Part of italy calls it sauce and another part calls it gravy.

Italy doesn't use the word gravy.

Gravy is a word of Middle English and Old French origin.

Some Italian Americans started calling it gravy, some call it sauce. 

And it's not clear what regions of the US call it gravy or sauce.

"If you are in America and calling it sauce, you’re as un-Italian as the person referring to it as gravy."

Capisci?

No worries.  They aren't a race anyway.  .  And my wife is Italian... at least partly.  

 

I'm pretty sure for it to be 'gravy', it has to be meat based in some manner.  Otherwise, its just marinara.

I have no idea. I’m embarrassed to admit how old I was until I realized what gabagool was

In Florida all traffic related fatalities are investigated as vehicular homicide.

Well, he’s a smart guy. He will just adjust the goalposts as time goes on. He just is the ultimate optimist about the team and their direction. I envy his optimism. 
 

But that’s the difference in he and RTK when it comes to Hurts. Once Howie moves on, so will afan. He’ll be pro-new QB. Meanwhile RTK will hang on to Hurts for years and feel betrayed that Afan jumped ship.

Nah. RTK is nothing but a fraud that goes against the grain regardless of the topic. Just your typical contrarian troll. Everything he argues for in pro Hurts he argued against with anti Foles. Or maybe he’s just racially biased.

2016: Prescott
2018: Jackson
2019: Murray

2021: TBD, but Lawrence showed enough IMO to feel good about it

So there's been at least one franchise QB in every single draft class over the past 6 years.

That would be quite the plot twist given he likes to push that narrative.

Nah, we have lots of things to talk about.

Agreed.   I got myself into financial trouble early on in my career... but with quite a few less 0's on the end of my paycheck... and with a much longer earning window, where as I work more, my earnings generally went up.  And now, at 44... the only debt I have is investments in my home.   Mortgage and an HVAC loan to upgrade those a year ago, at 0% interest

I don't have extra money anymore... because its all going to retirement savings or a little rainy day fund.   "Discretionary spending" is extremely limited, and budgeted.

Wife and I lived frugally for years even on a decent salary. Both cars paid off, house(s) paid off, college funds for all my kids that should cover a full ride each at the least (if they choose college). We scrimped and saved regardless of how high my income was and now I make 3x more in the private sector than I ever came close to in the service. We never hired any financial manager for this, just were fiscally responsible for the past 20ish years. All this while contributing up to 20% of that income into a retirement plan. When I do retire, I'll never have to work another day in my life. 

 

Then again, I never grossed a fraction of what these superstar athletes pull in so I can understand the lure of big spending. Society expects big earners to be big spenders I guess. Of course, if either of my many kids choose a non-college route I've had my eye on an M8 Gran Coupe for awhile now...

Meanwhile, in Detroit....

You would say that if you have Jared Goff at QB and a draft without a premier rookie QB in it

We are echoing the same things in Philly.  Good to know that we are sharing the same blueprint and rhetoric as Detroit.
