Avery OK, I will stay out of here. E mail if you have anything good. You have a great day.

      No, no. You don't have to go away. She just posted in the block-piece spread her usual thing about please respect the thread. This thread is fine.

          Avery Sorry but I am having trouble with the BS being put out and especially bothered with talking to a seriously underage girl about chastity belt when she claims she was forced into a belt against her will or while drugged. I think that is awfully close to needing to be reported but that is admin's problem. Probably is all fiction and she is 20. I sure hope so.

              I've thought about some of this stuff a lot. Twice I've gone away from the "forum" for several months. But I come back and try to do some good and it's fun talking football and joking around with people like you so I have accepted it. Frankly, my current take on that Charly person is a 16-22 year old male in a technical school who knows all about GPS and the advanced belts and has invented this scenario to get his rocks off so I no longer worry about it. Hope you stick around.

                  Avery I have no doubt that it isn't real but just a discussion with someone with the claims they are making casts a cloud over the entire Foruml I am sure those responding are trying to help but the correct help is to turn it over to the local authority.

                      this is what we say to every girl who is in such a situation. what a girl does then is another matter, writing here helped me a lot, more than if i would go to the police, in the end everyone has to know for themselves.

                        bdsamm The Chiefs play at 2:05 MST so you should be able to cheer them on as well.

                        So, pretty good game, eh? Looked like it might be a blowout very early in the second. Much better quality game than what we've been watching in New England.

                            Avery yes, pretty good game and the end was OK but Mahomes had too many interceptions. Does not matter what else you can do, if you keep giving the ball to the opponent, you will lose.

                            Thanks for your support! We needed it!

                              Avery The Patriots game this evening is probably too late for you. On at 6:15 here so will be pretty late when it is over.

                                  Yeh. Even the first half won't be over 'til ten. And I always like to have some quiet time without any kind of screen time just before bed. Lots of talk here in the media on how this game has some consequences for Belichick, at least that a loss will make ownership demand some changes, e.g. bring in coaches with offensive experience. We'll see.

                                      Avery The Pats have a much better record than the Cardinals but everyone says the Cards have improved a lot recently. Oh well. You have a good night.

                                          bdsamm Congratulations. It was and "interesting" game. The Cards were awful. Very sloppy play. Fumbles, interceptions, etc. If you recorded it, it is worth watching. I missed part of the third quarter because I wanted to watch something else. Have a good dayl

                                              7AM here now. I just kind of fast-forwarded through the second half. It's good to see them making use of rookies like Pierre Strong, Jr., whom I had never heard of, and Kevin Harris. Defense was good though the Card's offense is not so good and Arizona had their backup in there. It's nice Pats are back in the top seven so the playoffs are still a possibility but we will see. Many feel it will come down to the last game against Buffalo. If the Bills have clinched the #1 seed they may rest people giving NE a chance to win a game they probably will need to get into the playoffs. See ya.

                                                Not sure whether you follow college sports as much of the pros. NCAA has just announced retiring MA Governor Charlie Baker has been appointed NCAA president starting in March. Interesting to me since I run in the NCAA and he's been our governor for 8 years and we saw a lot of him during covid. Not sure what the NCAA president does. Probably has more effect on football and basketball since that's where the money is.

                                                  Avery The local university here is has been very big in basketball but recently got some NCAA sanctions, They are also tryiny g to improve their football but not much luck so far.

                                                  I looked for running and it is almost like a sideline. They have it but hard to follow and no news coverage. Maybe the girls need shorter shorts. (Just kidding)

                                                      It certainly isn't a major sport. I believe you're in the Mountain time zone. So in cross-country at the NCAA Women's Championship there is BYU 2nd in 21, won in 20, 2nd in 19; Colorado won in 18, 2nd in 15; New Mexico won in 15, 2nd in 18. So the Mountain teams are holding their own.T BYU seems to push all sports. Kind of a muscular Christian thing maybe, like the Chariots Of Fire movie.

                                                          Avery BYU is definitely a sports school and they seem to do very well. The University where I live is known as a bit of a party school and that may hurt their ability to attract top athletes. But they did very well in basketball a few years back until the coach retired.

                                                            The Patriots have been practicing in Tucson, AZ before heading up to Las Vegas to face the Raiders.

                                                              Right. The sports talk TV shows have been doing segments most of the week from the workouts. Of course, the press is barred from a lot of the pre-game workouts.

                                                              Lots of talk about the Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels having been the Pats offensive coordinator and Mac Jones coach last year and why this year Mac Jones has not made the progress people hoped. Also, the Raiders record is mediocre and two of the Pats top advisers Matt Patricia and Joe Judge were former Pats coaches and both were fired last year as head coaches by Detroit and NY Giants respectively so why don't Belichick proteges succeed.

                                                              We need this game. With Cincinnati and Buffalo on the schedule playoff hopes are dim if we don't win here.
