Rob, are you going to bump this up so it shows on the front page?
VikingPhilip-you said the other day you have a zero turn John Deere mower
hiw many hours does it have on it?
I have a John Deere, but not a zero turn. I have over 900 hours (actually rapidly approaching 1000 hours) on it.
Mine has over 2500, I’m thinking about getting it fixed and trading it in for a new model
That’s getting up there in hours.
Probably about time. I take mine in every spring for an annual maintenance and it just keeps running. I keep telling my wife that it is just about time for a new one. (A new riding mower, not a new wife).
A W better than a L, regardles of how it looks. Also, it’s nice to not be bitching about the O-line, 8 years is enough.
for the moment anyway
So, your name is just Rob?

Cool. @I was just_wondering.@
The Skoloholics site is like having a strip club right next to a church. If you are wondering where everyone is at, the degenerates hang out at the strip club.
Do strip clubs still exist? I haven’t seen one in 35 years.
They do here
heard that from a friend
hawt
We are 2/3rd the way to the win total that some predicted for this year. Whoohoo!
Does the Pew Orleans *aints Offense Stink?
Heck yes. The Saints have scored 13 combined points in the first three quarters through three games. Jameis Winston produced his 28th career multi-interception game in Sunday’s 22-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers (LOL), but the interceptions had far less bearing on the result than an early Alvin Kamara fumble, a blocked field goal, and a series of penalty-exacerbated first-half three-and-outs. When Winston’s turnovers aren’t your team’s primary problem, you have some real problems.
But the Saints Have Hope Because:
They face the Minnesota Vikings in London next week, and there’s no way Kirk Cousins doesn’t find a way to screw that up.
“Over the last two weeks Cousins has thrown 87 passes and gained just 5.5 yards per attempt. ESPN’s QBR, which weighs QB performance against situation on a 1-100 scale scored Cousins a poor 21.9 in Philadelphia and 42.0 against Detroit. In those two contests, superstar receiver Justin Jefferson has nine catches for 62 yards — or about one-third the yardage that he had in the first half against Green Bay in Week 1.”

@too bad we don’t have anyone else the throw the ball to.@
@I know, should have gotten better WR2 and 3@
That Theilen guy will never be more than a wr4 or wr5.
What a discouraging win.
Vikings should win at home against Chicago, but they also should have played much better yesterday.
*aints in London next. I’m not getting my hopes up.
Miami before the bye. That game is looking tougher and tougher.
I don’t know, I re-watched it twice & I was encouraged by how the team kept fighting, stayed in the game, and in the end, came away with the W. We didn’t see them doing that the past couple years, we’d lose games like that in 2020 & 2021. Cousins eventually figured it out, the defense figured out how to avoid giving up points, the running game was humming along (should’ve used it more, TBH).

Hutchinson was hurt and his 2nd string backup was out. He either stays in the game or Gillian gets to play…
That had to hurt.
Eventually the NFL will be flag football.
I didn’t think anything could sound worse than watching the Pro Bowl.
I remember way back in the day that the Pro Bowl used to be fun. Not so much in a long time.
NFC North sucks. The FTP should’ve blown out a hobbled TB but they suck.
we played a close one with the lions… and we both played like crap.
CHI stole one from SF bexuase they didn’t want to eat crow for drafting Lance in bad weather and won the coin flip vs. HOU.
it’s going to be a long year.
On the bright side, I think Kirk will get another coach fired after two more seasons of failure.
