you know goddamned well tons of players today are just as fucked up as Watson. Absolutely. In one way or another.
So, if you still want to debate his character, I understand. However
...the character of a football player. right? Since when has that ever been the criteria for who starts and who doesn't? Or who's drafted and who isn't. No, it's always been, can they play football to a high level? Can they stay out of jail? But now-a-days there's all kinds of social media 'insiders' looking for 'scoops' to blab about so their names are always alive in a news feed. The higher the profile of the player, the more they're scrutinized for something to blab about.

My mom sold party plan jewelry and always had a team of older women working for her. It was a fucking field day for me back then. I don't know why but I had a lot of fun.
Question for you Mr G. (if you can or care to answer, PM if you want) was your dad (JV) an usher at our church -and- was your mother (MV) one of those amazing ladies that made the BEST pyrogies with onions and butter in Youngstown and even all of Ohio ? The ladies that made them by the thousands in the basement of the building across the street from our beautiful church ?
They were an amazing fund raiser for building the "new" church in Austintown, Ohio for all those many years. I know that i ate my share from when i was about 10 until i was welll into my teenage years. Oh those years it seemed like forever for us but went by in a flash and i graduated and starled at YSU in 1968.
CCD classes, Ukrainian language classes and those years with Mrs Bilon among others. Then when the new church was complete they split the parishioners up between the two ...... and nothing was really the same after that. Oh well progress I guess, the main excuse when some things just. "happen". mjp.
.... edit note, I can see where we sat during every mass we attended, 1st picture by the 1st side window.

Michael, I am happy to answer your questions as they are from my origins as well.
I don't know that my Dad, Charley was ever an usher, perhaps on a filli in occasion. He contributed to the church more in the way of handyman, and special building/decoration projects. I will post a couple photos for you.
My Mom was very active for a time, 1960-1970 in making pyrohy in the basement kitchen. When Helen Zarconi became the self-imposed ruler of the pyrohy brigade, my Mom, and a few others also departed. Lol, Pyrohy Wars for reality TV if it was today.
For whatever reason my Mom sent me to St. Brendan's so while my Ukrainian heritage was my foundation, I had to go through the motions with the Roman Catholic horseshit. Often times creating weird conflicts. For instance my First Communion was at Holy Trinity, but I had to sit through the same classes at school and have 2 group photos.
I learned Ukrainian from my family and never attended CCD or Ukrainian classes.
Regarding St. Anne's, this was a sore spot for my family and a lot of old timers.
Mrgr. Adamiak was a visionary. In the 60s he recognized that the inner city was going to die. He single handedly arra get the purchase of the land in Austintown, and sold his higher ups on his future plan to build a new church, full 1-8 school, and all the associated accoutrements.
If you remember the swimming facility, Rose Lake which sat on the property, was a popular summer resort spot and generator of revenue.
Adamiak built the first complex with some of the school and a big gym and cafeteria room to have receptions and serve as a makeshift church until the full blown, new Byzantine style church could be built.
At that point the Ukie/Byzantine authorities screwed Mrgr. Adamiak, took the St. Anne project away from him and turned it over to newly appointed, asshole, Father Walter.
Walter was a power hungry narcissist and an underachiever. He closed Rose lake because the people he appointed to manage it caused the water to be contaminated (tried to save money on treatment), and the full school and new church were never built.
While less than 2 miles from home I never once in 25 years even thought about going to Mass there, and always drove to our roots on Rayen. Father Lubomyr is there now and seems to be faithful to what once was. I buried my Mom w service there in 2017. It was surreal for me because as the service progressed, all the voices and faces you hint at we alive and calling out to me.
Long live Holy Trinity.
Hospodi Pomiloi!
You guys brought back a lot of memories!
I'm so old I remember the little rectory adjacent to the church before they tore it down and built the addition in the back. Behind the church was a parking lot I believe.

For Watson Over or Under
_______________________________________________________________
238 yards passing under
25 completions over
3 passing TD's under
30 yards rushing under
2 rushing TD's under
For Watson Over or Under
_______________________________________________________________
238 yards passing under

Over barely.
Best bet is #2 being under. We will play from ahead and this will be Chubb/Hunt 40 times type game.
UnderOver. I think he has a couple big runs.
Under

Browns at Texans
TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for the Browns, but everyone else on the active roster is set to play.
The Texans ruled out WR Brandin Cooks (calf) and CB Derek Stingley (hamstring). RB Rex Burkhead (concussion) is listed as questionable.
Rex BURKhead
has a BAD head

How are the Browns only 23rd in the NFL in rush defense?
That almost makes it seem like they are mediocre vs the run, when in reality that are abysmal.

That's a very good question! The only thing I can come up with is that #24-32 are still awaiting their bye week.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
Under seems very live in this game (47)- what do you all think?
Deshaun will have some rust. Gameplan will be vanilla. Lots of runs.
Njoku out.Texans top WR out they will run because Pierce is good but that will eat clock.
Browns want to get out of here with a win. I see a 24-13 type game

The inside story of Anthony Schwartz’s mental health struggles this season: ‘Don’t be scared to find a solution’
“I was just in the locker room like damn near breaking down, almost having a panic attack,” Schwartz told cleveland.com on Friday. “That kind of just set it off where I was like, I need help. Because if not, this isn’t gonna be fun for me, and it can really affect my life.”
And so began Schwartz’s journey over the last three months to improve his mental health and deal with the anxiety that was impacting him on the field. It’s a journey he now wants to share for the first time, starting with the NFL’s annual My Cause My Cleats charitable campaign this Sunday. Schwartz will wear custom cleats representing the United Way of Greater Cleveland as the Browns take on the Texans...

Rankings are yards per game. Such that number of games doesn't matter. It says Run D slash G. And many times we're not talking many yards / G separating several teams. Take a look at the Pass D per game. It's a fraction of a yard per game separating 3 teams. (15th - 17th) Texan have given up 2380 yards passing. We've given up 2377. Both teams have played 11 games.

See a doctor and get on the right medication.
Maybe medication and therapy and whatever else is needed to get him on the right track. Whatever it takes ..... hopefully sooner than later.

Nope. Just get on the medication that's right for him. And he might only need a little. 10 - 20 mg.
Oh yeah ..... "calling Dr Feelgood, Dr Feelgood wanted in the blue tent. And then 15 minutes later the player comes back roaring and ready to play.
I thought that they didn't do that anymore.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

All four of these women piled on me unmercifullessly for what seemed like an eternity every insult, swear word and low-life inference that you can imagine.
...so these women didn't know that you were bonking them? You did this while they were sleeping? Or in some other vegetative state?

Did one of them sing that song "I Learned the Truth at 17?"
I just read all the Reverend Ghoolie in Training stuff on another thread dating back to when he was an altar boy. If I had to guess what finally ended the altar boy experience - I think he ate too many Brownies (before they were naughty Girl Scouts). That, or he told the wrong kids that only gullable Fucktards still believed in Santa Claus. I didn't even like it when he told me that when I was 55...
