Did anyone else notice on the play in the 2nd or 3rd qtr where TT had his pass batted at the line and he tried to punch it away? Did he hurt his hand there? and could that be why they only tried something like 10 passes in the 2nd half? thoughts on that? I'm curious. My stepdad and I figured he did something to it on that play. Why not put EJ in there (do they not trust him that much, or is the run game doing enough at that point that they figured they could get by?)
Also, great showing by our D. We have top 5 scoring D again, tops in turnovers or TO differential (I can't remember now), and great sack and pressure stats again. If we win the next two, I may need to buy tickets for the NE game...

I hear you, dEnnis. My dad and stepmom thought they'd won their appeal for continuing her Medicaid coverage last month, but hadn't gotten the official letter yet. They found out on Monday when they tried to refill one of her prescriptions that her coverage had been terminated. No advance notice, no explanation. Apparently the DSS is trying to pick and choose when they apply eligibility rules for a household of 1 and when they apply them for a household of 2 in order to void her eligibility. They're trying to fight it again, but right now she's a diabetic with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression who is uninsured and unemployed. F*ck the system.
That is seriously messed up. Hopefully she continues to improve!
:(
That is just crazy bio! Bes tof luck to your parents. It's so difficult dealing with the insurance.
My dad moved into an assisted care home at the start of september. Two nights ago they found him passed out on the floor. When they woke him up, the side of his face was droopy, so they thought he may have had a stroke. Yesterday, at the hospital, they determined that it was bell's palsy and not a stroke. In the process though, they found a mass in his brain. He's scheduled for surgery on monday.
Sorry to hear Shrader. Praying for the best.
Just had confirmation- my safety net is gone. I don't know what I'm going to do in the spring.
I know it pales in comparison to the other things in here. Sorry.
:(

Well yea, married with kids is a whole 'nother ballgame. Presumably by retirement you're no longer going to be supporting them, paying student loans, or a mortgage.
IMO if you're spending $5000 a month in retirement you're either really unhealthy/unlucky or living a fairly lavish lifestyle (before any snark ensues, I'm not saying this in a judgmental sense at all... if you were able to set yourself up to live this way, good on you). Don't think this is a likely monthly expense amount for your average person.
haha all good points

medical insurance. While I am grateful for it, as it saved my wife an me over a quarter of a million dollars with our twins stay in the NICU, the things they are fighting us on is ridiculous.
24 hours after our twins were born, they had to be transported to a higher level NICU in Syracuse (Crouse). The insurance tried telling us that their transportation was not an emergency and therefore they would not cover it. I spent 2 and a half hours on the phone with the insurance explaining to them why it actually was an emergency. I then asked who denied the initial claim, and apparently, it never made it out of their claims department for a medical professional to review. Got that one reversed.
Then we're told that our one son needs a helmet to correct his plagio-and brachio-cephaly (flattening of the back and widening of the side of his head). It was mostly caused by his stay in the NICU. The doctors placed him in the incubator thing the same way everyday, and the machines were always to one side, so he only ever looked to his right, so his left side of his head is flat. No problem. It's fixable with a helmet, as long as you put it on around 4-6 months, and can leave it on for 4 - 6 months. The longer you wait, the less fixing the helmet can do.
Well insurance didn't feel they need to cover it (it costs $4k out of pocket). I had 4 (FOUR) medical professionals write a letter to the insurance company, with all of the objective evidence required by CIGNA, and I was told that the proper procedure was not followed and I needed an appeal. Filed the appeal, with a request to expedite because my kids are now 6 months old (this started when they were 4 months old). Request to expedite denied, they will mail me a letter on Nov. 13, which I won't receive for 3 - 5 business days, and that letter will have their decision in it. If I disagree with that, I can request a peer-peer review. My sons orthotist calls the insurance...and they haven't even had a medical professional review the case file. WTF?!
So we paid out of pocket (My wife's grandparents loaned us the money). Luckily, the Hanger clinic doesnt charge full price to patients whose insurance are heads. So it was a little less than half. But still. I am so fed up with calling the insurance company, getting a different person everytime, along with a different story. Bunch of pricks.

I strongly believe that macro economics courses should be eliminated in highschool in favor for personal finance courses. Macro Economics is so complicated that a half year course in it barely scratches the surface in any sort of meaningful way. Teaching kids about how to manage their own money is so so so much more important in the lives of 90% of the population.
I completely agree with this.
I've been in the work force for 5.5 years now, and I have around 20k in my 401K. All of that is from the last 3.5 years however, I had another 4.5k in my 401k from my first job, but borrowed that (laid off for 3 months and had a lot in student loans to pay) and didn't pay it back (taxes hurt). I have a high risk portfolio now and It's netting awesome returns. We get 50% matching up to 6%, and I take full advantage of it, plus we get profit sharing at the end of the year into our 401k.
The very notion of spending $5000 a month is hilarious to me. I'll do naked cartwheels around the block the moment I start grossing that each month.
between student loans, our mortgage, and medical bills from the twins, my wife and I spend $4000/month. Doesn't leave much in the tank after the fact (thank god so many people blessed us with diapers and clothes, we've barely had to purchase any). Cannot wait to have the medical bill paid off, as that will slice nearly a grand off.

no need to distort the argument like that.
it's a legitimate point of conversation: taylor does not exploit the middle of the field like other nfl qb's. opposing teams can game plan accordingly.
i do wonder what his pass distribution was like against NE. where do you go for such stats?
okay - pro football reference has the stats (in a roundabout sort of way).
5 of taylor's 39 attempts went over the middle yesterday. something like 12.8%.
Is that number correct? I thought for sure there were more than 5 attempts over the middle

Sammy ruled out for the game :censored:

It will never get any lower than losing to Pittsburgh's third stringers when we were in a win and in scenario.
(Did we need help too? Honestly can't remember. But that was the low point for me, and it can't get lower).
It was win and in :(

Phone hearing: Renaud Lavoie@renlavoietva Sep 28
Phone hearing for Andrew Shaw. #canadiens #tvasports
you've got to be kidding. what a joke.

Am I the only one who still legitimately enjoys NFL football?
I enjoy it, I just don't enjoy 10 million commercial breaks lol
-
If shaw is going to act like that this season, hope someone lights him up real fast.
wow, that was absolutely Terrible!
-
That is what happens when you kickoff, commercial, offensive drive ending in score or punt, commercial, timeout, commercial, 2 minute warning, commercial, injury timeout, commercial, challenge, commercial, and on top of that there can be anywhere from 25-35 seconds of nothing while the teams decide what they are going to do. The result is a 60minute game that takes 3.5-4 hours to play. Most of those commercial breaks are 5 minutes longer or more. 1 hour of ads, 17minutes of replays, 75minutes of watching the players stand around, and 11 minutes of action... how fun!

On top of that every single aspect of the game is sponsored. The Toyota Kickoff report. The Walmart halftime show. The Verizon Wireless Timeout. The CrappyCrapCrappy challenge.
I had a very hard time watching Monday night football because it seemed like after every other play was another commercial break that was 5x longer than the actual game footage we had just seen. Just terrible.

That moment you realize you hate your job. Sure, I will take on that thing that somebody else has been doing but doesn't feel like doing anymore, not like I am the most underpaid ###### in this department. Is it June? Let me know when it is June.
I totally and completely understand this sentiment. I'm in the same boat.
My complaint: sick twins. Sadly, I think the boys ended up with an immune system much like mine rather than their mother's. Not good. Up all night the last two nights with both boys. Coughing, phlegm, throwing up phlegm, just down right miserable 6 month old boys. Makes for long work days for both my wife and myself. Luckily she got the morning off to take both boys to the doctor. I wish I could just make them feel better :(

Thank you Blount!

I read this sentence about 4 times and every time I do it just sounds like you are being a dick.
I don't think that was his intent. He's not wrong though either. McDaniels would be a re-tread.

I've tried very hard, with some success I might add, to forget what I've said here that was wrong lol

Been awhile since I've been able to workout. Last two weeks I've been able to get two 5+ mile runs in, and some smaller ones too. Last night, the twins had their 6 month vaccinations, and were very fussy. I loaded them into the stroller and did 6 miles (albeit I did walk 3/4 of a mile in there). Got home, and the wife wanted to go for a walk, so I walked another mile. Boys got a nice long nap, and dad got to burn well over 1,000 calories.
As an aside, I applaud anyone who has ever run distance whilst pushing a stroller or wheelchair. You want calorie burn that you feel while running? Push twin boys in a stroller. Their 18lbs each feels like nothing for the first mile and a half. By mile 5 or so, you're feeling all 50 lbs of them and the stroller combined lol.

Why list email as a method of contact on your craigslist ad if you're not actually going to reply to emails?

Source on #Bills WR Sammy Watkins' (foot) availability Thurs. night: "He wants to play but i'm not sure if the docs are going to let him."
not sure how much stock I'm putting into that report. I think it's gamemanship by Rex, even though I'm not sure what it accomplishes..
