6 years sober today. It's said that grateful alcoholics appreciate life so much because they have been saved from a living death. Couldn't agree more. One day at a time...
Scott Van Pelt literally just asked the same question as Skip, almost 2 hours later. Thoughts should be with Damar and his family not stupid Twitter gotcha moments. But unfortunately, that's what many of us are.
No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.
My mom died 6 yrs ago. Don't miss the chance to tell the ones you love what they mean to you. She called me "her baby," because I was her youngest, until the day she died- I was always embarrassed but I wish I could hear it from her again...
Skip isn't a sick individual- he knows the game of TV and plays it well. I know Skip personally,but don't speak for him, to me this tweet looks like wondering real time what suspending the game means for scheduling.He says himself that that scheduling now seems ( is ) irrelevant

Black slaves were chained together and thrown overboard with weights to lighten ships in passage. Women threw themselves overboard with their babies rather than subject them to the horrors of slavery. Think about that the next time you use, or applaud the use of this analogy.
With 11 points scored tonight, the state of Michigan ( Michigan and Michigan State ) have been outscored 72-11 in the college football playoffs.

The Vikings drafted me 30 years ago today. I was bored /anxious after about 15 picks and changed the TV to watch Ren and Stimpy. Coach Dennis Green called soon after and delivered the goods news. Excited to be at the draft for the first time, announcing the Vikings Day 2 pick!
Aaron Donald is a beast. It was a pleasure watching him do his thing. His 110 sacks, are the 2nd most all time from a primarily interior defensive lineman. Who's 1st? My man John "motor" Randle

Teams cut and sign players quite a bit between now and the season. Teams can sign up to 90 players. Most complaining about this either a. Don't like Tebow. B. Don't like Urban. C. Want a loud take for TV, radio or social media. D. Want another bad analogy to bring up Kap
Ran against Carl Lewis in college, played w/ Cris Carter, John Randle and vs guys like Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders- never saw anyone move like Moss. After first practice with him as rookie someone asked how he looked. I said "he'll be a hall of famer of he stays healthy."

on the discussion around Josh Dobbs this week.
While discussing NFL RBs not getting high enough into 8- figure salaries for their liking, let's note real- life heroes like
@johnkriesel
who lost both legs in an IED explosion in Iraq. John gets disability ~1/3 of the pay for members of Congress. Congress sets payments for both
at Packers Week - 1998 - Part 2 - The key plays (as called live by ABC MNF) to the destruction of the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Moss is other-worldly. But, Robert Smith shows how to run a screen!

I just created a dad joke to the best of my knowledge:
Why didn't the spaghetti and the water stay together?
The relationship was strained.
Thank you, I'll be here all week!
Apparently, this is what
@PeteBercich
is doing during games- he sends this pic, with the message " I'm crushing your head!!!!"
No wonder we're friends🤣
Kleinsmasher! He was a great FB/TE combo guy. He was always in meetings with us in the RB room and we all joked that we had the whitest backfield in the league at 1.5 white guys🤣
Even in small telescopes, Saturn looks like this. I was out fishing when I was a rookie in Minnesota, looking at the Moon, and suddenly realized I could afford my 1st telescope. Went to the mall immediately! Saturn was the 1st planet I saw. It was amazing- it looked fake!
I want to give a special thank you to colleagues
@CFBONFOX
I lost my brother unexpectedly last Monday and hearing from you and then working with you this weekend meant the world to me. You are family.
So excited to be back in an NFL booth week 2, Vikings @ Colts. Great storylines. So much uncertainity in the world, grateful to have an opportunity to participate in this season's broadcasts for

This was an hour before the tweet Skip is being attacked over. You missed this apparently. Sick of uninformed twitter mobs attacking people and circumstances they're too lazy or stupid ( not accusing you specifically of either )
to spend 2 minutes investigating themselves.
30 years goes by so fast! Jim McMahon was our starting QB my rookie season. I can still hear him singing "What's going on!" at the top of his lungs in training camp that year!
My dad sent this 2 days ago, never saw it. State meet in '89, my junior year in hs when Ohio State had astroturf field and a track around it The results: 10.68,10.69, 10.70, 10.71. I won and it took 10 minutes for the judges to figure out places. Always lean at the tape!
Many will blame the salary cap, but cap hits can be manipulated if both sides agree on value moving forward. If the Vikings thought he was worth his contract, they would have kept him, if another team thought he was worth his current deal, they would have traded for him.

@LAFitness
is a joke. They made me go into my gym location to get a form to cancel my membership and have been charging me for months claiming they didn't receive the cancelation letter at the national office. Good scam

Very much sober! My dad survived drug addiction, bullet hole through the middle of his chest- the middle, no exaggeration ,and jail time. He's 73 now, living in Mississippi and just got his vaccine- I told him it would be crazy to survive all that and die from

It's hilarious hearing draft "gurus" and YouTube/ internet "experts" in utter shock over the Blackmon pick because they had him graded as a 6th rounder. I'll put my faith ( for now! ) in the people that scout for a living and decided to take him at the end of the 3rd
300 million guns in our country. There is no simple way to meaningful "gun control." People love to blame the NRA - especially when there are mass shootings but the bigger problem of gun deaths in inner cities has many more root causes and issues to consider.
Randall and I used to sit next to each other on team plane trips. Never been more surprised by perception vs reality of a person. Heard he was intolerable as a teammate- he was amazing. His spirituality is genuine. A friend for life to anyone who gets to know him.
Post an NFL player you loved who doesn’t get talked about enough these days. I’ll start with Randall Cunningham, who was doing 21st century QB shit in the 80s.
