No.  Ours was hazy cloudy.  The total darkness was cool though.

I don't believe I have ever been awestruck before.  It was an experience I'll never forget.  Just AMAZING

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. @Nadine

Hello NFLfan thanks for inquiring.  We dodged a bullet here in the Rochester area.  Only a few inches so far.  Not expecting too much more.  An hour and a half towards Buffalo and it’s really bad.  Orchard Park is buried.  It looks like they are off to a big lead in the snowfall race between Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.  Here’s hoping it stays that way.  Lol.  Take care and stay safe as well.

@stitches What about McCall from Coastal Carolina?

Have not watched him. No idea

started a thread about 2023 prospects. I'm watching mainly QBs so far:

Yes I would like to participate.  Thank you for the invitation.

Okay, we will discuss this further after the Super Bowl.

Enjoy the upcoming games. 

My power goes out every hour and is 17 degrees currently thanks for checking up 

Stay safe. Keep your phones and/or computers charged when you do have power.

Still living the same except practicing social distancing and washing my hands more. I shower daily too  . In Indiana a lot of places are closed and traffic has died way down from the norm. Grocery stores and gas stations are still open. Fast food places are open too. Where I work at is a food plant so we are consider essential, we aren't closing. Business is slow so I just sit in my office and chime in here a lot  . Anything that has to do with food or medicine will stay open. Hospitals are of course open too. I have no problems going to work and back regarding the police. I haven't seen many out actually. How is it in NY as of today?

It is similar in NY but there is a some fear and anxiety. We have so many cases of COVID-19. @Nadine had posted something on the Coronavirus thread in Misc Section. It says NYS is expected to lose over 14,000 people (deaths) by Aug 4th. Indiana was much lower but still large. 

I'm ok, working from home. I leave my home just to shop for food and other needed items. I'm thankful that I am still working. So many people are not so fortunate. They are all in my thoughts and prayers. So are those in hospitals, supermarkets, and pharmacies who still have to leave home to work. I hope this ends soon.

I have some life long friends who have moved to the area and I haven't been able to see them yet.  Been trying to find a housewarming gift online but most things I thought of were closed because of covid-19.  I talked to them yesterday and found out that they are struggling to find cleaning supplies and paper products.  Then I had a genius moment.  The perfect gift is toilet paper and disinfectant! Scored some this am and am dropping them by their house today!

The Vikings had a very impressive game! Defense looked good and the offense took over. Dalvin Cook was on my fantasy team, and he helped me do quite well. 

Colts very close to pulling off a win but no cigar. Could meet later in the playoffs. So far so good on Jacoby B!

@NFLfan, Wow! You're Vikings were lethal against the Falcons in Week 1. Talk about taking the dirty birds to the woodshed & clipping their wings. Amazing!

Gary Kubiack was a tremendous new hire by Mike Zimmer too. Overjoyed for your club my friend. 

Thanks for the kind words regarding the Colts as well. You Rock!!!

Yep, that was quite an accomplishment indeed.

Now, I wanna see women break the glass ceiling as CEO's in business as well as the American Presidency--It's long overdue. I'm getting sick & tired of sexism let me tell ya. 

Well done ladies; Well done. Bravo! 

Every win is a must win. The Mets should be a much improved team this season.

I hope. I have been following the Mets SB Nation site called AmazinAvenue. The folks there are excited about the upcoming season... The Vikings have taught me not to get too excited. 

Although the Cubs didn't make any big splashes this offseason, they are still very talented. Bryant is 100% healthy and I have been hearing Yu will be ready when the season starts. Lester and Hamels both are older but still are considered #1's on some teams and #2's on most teams. The Cubs will attempt to make their 5th straight playoff appearance in 2019. They have made the playoffs = 2015-2018, winning the WS in 2016, great run. I am excited for Baseball to begin.

Merry Christmas to you as well!!!!!! 

Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family as well.

A Colts/Vikes Super Bowl would be a dream come true.

i wondered the same, did a search and found this post.  looks like he last logged in on Tuesday.  hoping everything is alright 

@aaron11 Thanks. I noticed that while he last logged in on Oct. 23rd, the last time that he posted a comment was 2 weeks before that on Oct. 9th. Hopefully he is just taking a break. 

@oldunclemark Glad to see you logged in. Many here were concerned about you. We missed you. How are you doing? Hope you're well. 

Awesome thank you for rembering and sharing.  We had a great Father's Day together 

, thanks so much!

Good call on the soothing sounds of the 70's NFLfan. I couldn't agree more.

Happy belated Fathers Day Out There to all the dads. Here's hoping you all got something more than a tie, toolbox, grill, or set of golf clubs. Unless you actually wanted those things. LOL!

I didn't follow Prince much, but have to admit he gave an outstanding halftime show.  

RIP. 

Prince was one gifted individual. Very underrated musician. He wrote some great songs that were made famous by other artists. (Manic Monday/Bangles, Nothing Compares 2 U/ Sinead O'Connor, Stand Back/Stevie Nicks, How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore/Alicia Keys, With This Tear/Celine Dion.....etc.)

One of my favorite halftime shows & an even better super bowl.

Cool Prince post @NFLfan! It makes me fond of this cover by Jeff Beck & Beth Hart. I swear to God this woman can sing anything & make it her own.

Happy belated 60 Prince! It's a shame you're no longer around anymore.

Good luck to your Vikings this year! BTW, I was glad to hear that former HC Dennis Green will get inducted into the Minnesota Ring Of Honor at the stadium as well. Well deserved honor indeed.

Love it. Laughed out loud at the line about LA now having a team & a half.  I really hope Teddy comes back better than ever. I picked him up a couple weeks ago for my FF. I'm stashing him till he's ready to go. (my league is QB heavy & my current QBs are awful)

I hope Teddy bounces back and has a solid career.

Such a senseless act, hopefully the people that were injured recover. To the people that lost their lives, RIP and my condolences goes out to their families. Not sure how we can put a stop to the violence but this is the USA so we aren't backing down from any terrorists.  

"...this is the USA so we aren't backing down from any terrorists."

Amen! 

A former NYC policeman said in an interview that he thinks this kind of thing is the "new normal." I tend to agree with him, as scary as it is. These kind of attacks are happening too often, and it's just become a part of our lives now. Depressing to think of it that way, but how else could we consider it? Dangerous world we live in.

I'm still cleaning upi after hurrican Irma here, so don't spend much time in research these days.  So I can't give you a link until I have time later.  but in the meantime, think of these things.  Injured players must be paid. period.  If you want to waive them, there must first be an injury settlement. IOW, they must be paid for the amount of time it would take them to be fully rehabbed.

Money (especially elite players) - not only is their contracts high, so is guaranteed money.  That money is paid to the player up front at signing (unless a contractual alteration is agreed to). So the team 'Cap Hit' is spread out and manageable.  The owners 'Cash Hit' , however, is immediate and much larger.  A team cannot recoup any of that cash, and I'm pretty sure the cap hit stays with the team as dead money, since it is on their books as already paid.  Superman would be better to consult on these items. So any team would absolutely want to trade for injured elite players, but it appears there is no incentive for a team to trade that commodity away, considering the enormous resources already put into them that cannot be recouped.  So whether their is a rule about trading a n injured players rights or not, looking at some of the details of the deal seem to prevent it from ever happening.

Oh, and there is a trade deadline too, I think it is Halloween this year.  Try Superman, I'll be the could explain more and better.

Back to cleanup and helping out the neighborhood however I can.

Thanks. Sorry to hear that. About a third of my extended family lives in South Florida, east and west. So, I have heard about the current conditions. Glad all are safe. All the best with the recovery and clean-up.

The more I read, the more I am assuming that there is no rule against trading players on IR or PUP. I read an article that recommended that the Jets trade for A. Robinson, WR, Jags. I believe he is on IR. The writer also thought the Jets should trade for Teddy. Ugh. I would hate that. Giants maybe, not the dysfunctional Jets. 

Take it easy, if you can.

Hey I hope all is well with yours as well.  My internet is down....on my phone now...going to try to post some Steely Dan in memory of Walter...

Still trying....ughhhh.

No worries. 

Coltsfansince65, what do you think of picking up JJ Nelson. He is playing against your Colts but the Cards are thin at WR. John Brown is out. Nelson may be a good pick up. 

NFLfan,  Sorry I didn't see this any earlier. I don't think that's a terrible idea. If you didn't pull the trigger & hope you grabbed someone else who can help you.

@coltsfansince65

I was making the recommendation for you. I took Cooper Kupp earlier in the week. 

Is that Neil Schon? Yes, he does look a little like Springsteen. Neil has been around for a while. He was actually the other guitar player with Santana at the original Woodstock in 69.

Glad you enjoyed the show. Posting pics is a royal pita. I would post more pics if I didn't have to go through photobucket.

They are not clear because I had to re-size them to fit here. The original pics look better.

Well, that didn't go as planned................

Things usually do not go as planned.
