    That was my little digression leading up to the point I wanted to make. I'm super-duper sensitive to "vegetal" smells in wine. LOL where some (maybe a lot of) people get grapefruit smells out of New Zealand sauvignon blancs, I get tomato plant. Not something I want to smell in my wines.  🙂   

    There are two wines I just love to stick my nose/face into the glass and just breath. A really good Napa Cabernet or a fine Zinfandel from Amador County, California which used to be the best kept secret for Zins. Well worth a day or two where some wineries even do barrel tastings.

    A little remiss, and certainly off topic Ag. But be on the lookout for Carol Shelton Monga Zin.  Cucamonga Valley way south in California. Best zinfandel ever on the low side of $30.

    The only one I could find here is the Carol Shelton OV Zin Wild Thing.

    However at that abhorrent Xmas party I got drug to and felt a need to get drugged at, they had a great drug to try that turned out to be quite good. It was a bottle of 2014  7 Deadly Zins. 

    I had a couple of deep wide-bodied glasses that I could keep breathing in and liked it so much I went home and looked it up. Unbelievably it not only got a 91 rating from Wine Enthusiast, but only costs $10.99 + tax locally. However the store I go to has a 10% discount to all veterans if you pay cash. Dropping by there today because I know my son-in-law loves Zins better than any other red wine and I want to serve it for him (& me) for Xmas dinner along with the sweet white swill I got for the rest of the in-laws.??

    Yup, I consider 7 Deadly Zins a  "best buy".  Now if your ever want to spend a lot of money- Michael- David who make the former- name their top end zinfandels after the seven deadly sins. Lust, sloth, gluttony, ect. Maybe worth it.  When you get into that price stratosphere,  beside those I like the Ridge Lytton Springs, and Elyse Morosholi vineyard. 

    BTW, Merry Christmas to you and yours.  🙂

    Same to you Larry.......................................Bill?

  • Never been a fan of 7 Deadly, but it's been a while.

    For a long time Brazin was my go to Zin, but even it faded in its last vintage and I shifted to Cline Old Vines.

    Merry Christmas from one wine-o to a couple others...

  • FWIW, ward is for sure concussed again in the 4th quarter of a meaningless game for all intents and purposes.

    I really hope this isnt the start of something.

  • He sure looked dizzy...and that was dumb by ward.  Make sure the fans know your name...not the medical staff

    Yeah but what if that one makes him decide to retire. I love the kid but i rather him get a concussion now if he decides to retire than in week 1 next year and he decide to retire. We know CB is an issue if he does and even if he comes back depth is a concern. Like i said love him he's probably my favorite defensive player on the team but he needs to practice rugby style tackling if he is going to keep playing and if he hangs it up due to concussions I don't blame him.

  • Ward, for sure! Worried about his future...

    How may ccs does he have?  He doesnt strike me as the retiring type.  I think you need a xanax.  Your jumpin the gun.  Don Beebe is still alive...relax

    I thought this was his third this year. But here he says that last one was his first

    As far as the Xanax comment. When you are under 25 like he is your brain is still developing and one concussion is bad but having another on the first shot to your head after sitting out for two weeks due to a concussion is absolutely awful and scary. He's a smart kid and already has enough wealth don't be surprised if he doesn't really consider retirement.

  • The more Baker plays the better off this team will be.  He needs to gain experience as a QB and with the talent on the field with him.  The only reason I would have given him the week off is if the team had won the division.  Weighing injury vs. experience I would prefer the experience.  He appears to be getting better each week.

    As for Ward, sitting him if he is not 100% post concussion would be in the best interest of all parties.

  • I wouldnt let Ward back on to the field until he knows how to properly tackle and protect himself...

  • And what was wrong with the tackle?

    I'm going to go with I told you so. The hit did not even involve his head. His head just snapped to the side and that was enough.

    all i thought was that there was no reason why Randell did not wrap up and make the tackle

  • The head snap did it. 

    Love the toughness but Ward shouldn't have been out there today. 

  • There probably is no choice with Ward next week

  • PLain Dealer is reporting Wards injury was a shoulder.

    Yep. I think he took a forearm to the chin or a shoulder. Head snapped back and goodnight. I'm officially worried. Why he continues to go high, I don't know.
