Only you


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

How many of you have one of those friends or family members that just seems to be a magnet for weird s--t happening? You know, the kind of stuff that just makes you look at them, shake your head and go "Only you, dude; only you."

For me, it's my sister, the one whose 'moments of infamy' include things like spraining her ankle getting off a toilet because she sat there till her legs fell asleep.

Who do you know like this, and what's their weirdest story?

(or is it you?)

That's my sister too...minus the "dude".

What are your best examples?

(don't worry if you've posted them before)

My neighbor setting my house on fire with flair gun, almost getting arrested on new year... I had both hands against cop car when fireworks begun. And many many more.

I'll start this off with this... I love my Mom, but she's had some crazy things happen to her.

1) She tore her ACL jumping up and down while waving a dish rag in a desperate attempt to get the fire alarm in the kitchen to turn off. She probably shouldn't have been wearing heels at the time.

2) She crashed a moped while in Bermuda on a cruise vacation. My sister was on the back while I was riding with my dad. We were coming around a corner of a winding road, she lost it and her handle bars scraped against the entire side of a car driving on the other side of the road. They go down and slide 100 yards along the road without getting hit by another car and end up in a cactus bush. Ambulance came, they went to a Bermuda hospital, got patched up (no serious injuries, just scraped and cuts), and then we enjoyed the rest of our vacation (without mopeds).

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
