Just watched Baghdad ER the other day. Watching it you really feel grateful for what the men and women of our armed services go through to protect us.

I get upset when some people relate sports to war...I have done both...they are nothing alike

Our soldiers are the bravest in the world and they deserve all of our respect for what they do:yesnod:

The lynchpin of modern history.

On a much less important note....how bout Ben vs. Matt in the movie selection/career path thingy?

Matt makes Saving Private Ryan, Ben takes Pearl Harbor.

Matt gets the Bourne series, Ben does Gigli.

I'm just sayin', they are both very wealthy, successful young men, I just can't help noticing one gets roles that rock, the other gets poop.

Is it the actor or the choices they make?

I took my Mom to Hawaii in 1993 and we were at the Arizona Memorial.

During the Park Rangers tour, I asked if it were true that if you served on the Arizona that you could request burial aboard when you died.

My Mom, (and the rest of the tour group) didn't know this and was surprised to find out that it is true. Park Ranger Divers will take the interred body and place it in gun turret #1. There were over a dozen sailors that had requested it.

She asked how I knew this fact. I told her it was an episode of Magnum PI! And people say that TV isn't educational!

Maybe it depends on what you are willing to do to get the role. *casting couch*

And apparently, Ben is not the performer that Matt is.....:D

The USS Arizona Memorial has 7 windows on the side, 7 on the top and 7 on the opposite side. In a pertetual 21 Gun Salute!

Elvis Presley while in Hawaii filming Blue Hawaii, performed 3 concerts. The money from the 3 concerts were donated to help build the memorial.

The USS Missouri (Big Mo) (The ship that the Japanese signed their surrender on.) Is moored at Pearl Harbor and it's bow faces the USS Arizona. Forever stading watch over the USS Arizona and her men.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
