    Love fly fishing...this is from one of the rivers on the Seward Peninsula near Nome from a couple years ago. Going back this summer!

    Whatever Happened to...

    Don't know why but was reminded of Ancalagon (sp?) the Black and bobzmuda in going through this.

    TV Show Discussion Thread

    For anyone with kids in the 8-12 range who is comfortable with mild, good-natured & obscure adult-humor, I highly, highly recommend Brooklyn 99. Absolutely love that show. Chris, I've heard good things fwiw. I hope you're able to enjoy it!

    The Musical Instrument Thread

    Have heard really good things about the Heritages as well as in respect to the non-Custom Shop Gibsons being not that great and very pricy - i.e. much better value going to Heritage or Collings.

    The Musical Instrument Thread

    Thanks man!! IMHO the biggest factor in the way a guitar sounds is the player him/herself - all of the other things in similar (if slightly different) words to RedWolf, change the vibe/mood/style/attack but don't fundamentally change ability/sound/acuity/etc. I'm not sure where you are on...

    The Musical Instrument Thread

    Came back to work on this - still really, really useful but man, the outfits, the hairy arms, the guitars, the vibe, the models...so late 1980s/early 90s...

    The Long Road to a Happy Ending in Hell (or how my book found its publisher)

    Congrats man!! - without naming & shaming, any rationale given by the would-be publisher? Was it one of the smaller houses or a major like Penguin Random House / FSG?

    The Stadium Thread

    Oof. That doesn't feel great. Why exclude the NHL and MLS though?

    The Stadium Thread

    If tailgates are to become a thing of the past, what do fans want to replace them that they think the team has a reasonable chance of providing? Is there anything?

    The Stadium Thread

    In the ongoing timeline of any franchise, change is obviously inevitable. Increasingly, stadiums are designed to be occupied continuously instead of just on game days and as real estate plays to draw continual revenue irrespective of the season/weather/success of the team. And in this way, the...

    MLS Anyone?

    My younger son does youth programming with Red Bulls and NYCFC. So I guess we're fans of those (rival) teams....! MLS has gotten much, much better in recent years. Not quite like watching EPL but it's gaining ground quickly IMHO.

    Let's keep it at recommendations then - was certainly not looking to turn this into any form of obligation.

    do you think a book club could get any momentum?

    Tell the Truth Monday- The 2025 Crystal Ball Edition

    I'm of two minds here. On the one side, we artfully build from the 2024 season: plugging gaps, solving the run defense issue, etc. etc. all to culminate in an even better performance in 2025. Super Bowl? I don't know...but maybe. On the other side, the pressure of increased expectations...

    I'm not surprised for you to react that way (!) but it may be what you need to do in order to figure out whether you're getting "fair value" for what you have. You could even do one line item per year if you have complete sets too with average condition. You might look at the tools at places...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    Thinking out loud here, I wonder if there's ways that the team could continue to honor the legacy of the old name in the same way that e.g. the Carolina Hurricanes wear Hartford Whalers jerseys from time to time and they play Brass Bonanza. There's a way to do it artfully that doesn't trip up...

    Sports Cards

    What I'd suggest doing is, to the extent you have time or desire, put everything into a spreadsheet or Word doc with a few columns - maybe something like "Brand, Year, Card Name, Rarity, Condition, Auto (Y/N), Memorabilia (Y/N)" or whatever makes sense to you. The more precise you can be, the...

    Josh Harris Speaks... Commanders is permanent name.

    Of course it is! But it's underlying truth (IMO) remains totally valid. The frustration that's felt here about the name (and in other threads about the jerseys etc. etc.) is valid but would be of a totally different caliber had the team been losing and finished at the bottom of the NFC...
