    Schwinn? Boy did they spoil you or what? We got the Sears special of the day. Helped my older brother sell fresh donuts door to door every day so he could save enough for an "English Racer" 3 speed.😁

    I had to settle for a second hand bike bought at a second hand store.  We were kind of poor.  My one older brother bought an 'English Racer' with money he made from a paper route.

    Means he's a really good college QB on a really great team.

    And arguably, statistically light years ahead of Rosen, and a better NFL ready pro QB.

    Even in Rosen's game vs Texas A&M, they only gave him a 77.6 grade for the game.

    https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pff-draft-watch-week-1-qb-overview

    Steve Palazzolo: Rosen led one of the most incredible comebacks in college football history, but the tape wasn’t nearly as good as the credit he got in the aftermath. The comeback was fueled by two of the luckiest touchdowns you’ll see, including one that should have been a game-ending interception that snuck through a safety’s hands for a score. However, there were some positives, including Rosen’s toughness and his work at the intermediate level where he went 13-for-19 for 214 yards and an NFL passer rating of 141.1. Despite the hype, this game showed how much work Rosen still has to do before being locked in as a top prospect.

    I wrote a very similar assessment of the Rosen comeback game here at the time. What's your point?

    Statistics? How do you separate the quality of the player from the quality of team from the quality of the competition using QB stats?

    yeah D Bone life was a lot different back in my day. i had the don draper dad. we lived (as kids) on a small 200 yard residential block with all families having like 3 kids so it was a free for all everyday. all the men got together and sat on porches or garages and drank their martinis and smoked their pipes as they bet on which one of us would fall of their schwinn and bust their teeth out that day.

    note: there were no bike helmets back then....just blood and gristle.

    Still amazed seeing kids on the bike path with those one speeds...   

    But speaking of "speeds"- when I started doing serious bike riding back in the late '70s, the rear gear cluster was 5, then 6, 7, 8. My 5 year old custom painted Browns color Waterford has 9- and it's now getting hard to find replacement 9 speed parts. Here's my latest- it's up to 10, and that still isn't the end- by a long shot. They're selling 11 speed gear clusters now. I asked my bike mechanic Roger if that's the limit- & he said nope- Shimano is working on 12. Asked him why? "Because it's more than 11."  🙂  Who in the hell needs that many gears? I suppose guys riding in the Tour appreciate the one tooth difference in cogs, but nobody I know rides that precise. While I'm at it- the manufacturers must think no one does loaded touring anymore, or there's old guys who need that 3rd granny gear for going up hills- because 3 speed cranks are going the way of the dinosaur too.  🙁

    i still think we will get  a win....you just dont go 0-16 after going 1-16.  the odds of being that bad are too high

    we will lose a close one to the packers as they are still in the running for a wildcard even though they are slim to none.....the steelers will probably be playing fro home field so they will beat the Sheet out of the clowns once again...the ravens will probably still be in a wild card possibilty so they will beat the Sheet out of the clowns...now, the bears...they stinko but they are at home and we are el stinko on the road...a close one...maybe just maybe we win that one...that is the only shot....what a Shmucked up organization the cleveland shitstains are....

    i have a schwinn varsity i bought in 1977...wonder if it is worth anything...used to live out in the sticks in eastern pa yrs ago...rode it alot...been living in atlanta now for over 30 yrs...no where to ride unless you want to get run over by the traffic...became an avid runner now for 30yrs...so the bike is in pretty good shape...guess i need to check out ebay...

  • i have a 'giant boulder se' hanging from my BR ceiling that i've prob ridden 5-6 times. have a great bike/jogger path right out side my window that goes from yonkers to albany. right overtop the original aqueduct system that brings water down from the fresh water reservoirs. not about biking for me. more about the other assholes who could give a flying f if you lived or died. the crossings from street to path are dangerous yet the millennials act as if there isn't anyone else in the world besides themselves.saw a dude hit and run/killed a baby deer the other day in a 2 lane race coming up the hill where i live. lady yelled at me for not 'scooping' my dog's Sheet up while i'm 50 yards in the woods where the deer, coyotes and other wildlife Sheet for free. what's riding worth if you have to stop every minute to watch some fag stretch in the middle of broadway while people roll their window down and shoot caps in the air?

  • over two years in today's nfl?

    that is *hard* to do.

    It requires:

    -bad luck

    -bad coaching/game planning

    -bad acquisitions/drafting

    and then some more bad luck on top of that.

    in today's nfl 1-27 just isnt supposed to happen.

    Just take solace that your status as a d.i.c.k. has not been superseded by  auto correctness or political correctness! 😛

  • every 1-1.5 years, this same sht. Bring someone new in surely things will get better. And they don't. How many 1-2 yr coaching staffs do we have to go through before some of you clowns get it?

    Until we get a group here that knows what the hell they are doing

    it doesn’t take 3 years to win in the NFL 

    Teams turn around every year. Except this team. Because they keep hiring to wrong people

    If this regime stays they might go winless next year too

  • John McKay had a better record in 2 years with an EXPANSION team

    Heck even Cris Palmer won more with the 1999-2000 crap team 

    All these people should be fired

    How many miles per battery there Mik?  Got out on a long ride today, looks like the last of the 50 degree weather for awhile. We're very fortunate here in Dayton to have one of the best Rails to Trails systems in the country. Literally 100s of miles, and never have to worry about getting on a road, unless I want to. Though I sometimes do- I can take one of those trails 25 miles out of town, and then it's country road. I can ride for miles and not see a car.  

  • on that electric bike? i think like 10...??? HA!! 

    but to run down on that to another village that has amenities i need at 9 in the AM when half in the bag....priceless.

    best fried rides his victoria like 50 miles from his hometown in elmsford up to mt. kisco and back like 4x a week. it runs parallel (from parkway to path about 20 feet) along one of most dangerous idiot infested roadways in the world. don't know if you remember but the lady who drove on entered pkwy on wrong side of road with 4 kids in minivan and empty handle of vodka and did head on collision that killed everyone on both receiving ends? then her husband said she never drank but blood test came back drunk and high as hell? yeah that one. that's what i deal with daily. i've been through dayton many times back in the day on the back and forth between sandusky and ft. knox and it's like eating fluffly wedding cake to this crap.

    nothing comes close to NY assholes on the road. well maybe boston and arizona. lived in all 3.

  • And the Yucs played 14 game seasons those two years...

    ... and then went 5-11 in year 3...

    ... and then 10-6 and made the playoffs year 4.

    So what's your point?
