A "Fish" Story

Me, my dad and his friend with a house on the lake were in a 14 ft aluminum boat. We would pull up into a cove and the guy that lived there would cast for bass while dad and me dropped lines over the side for catfish. Hooked what I thought was at least a 25 pound cat. Turns out it was a snapping turtle. The guy that lived there insisted on bringing into the boat, said he was going to make turtle soup. I remember the thing being at least 2 ft across. It got loose and commenced to hissing, snapping and chasing us around this suddenly tiny boat. Dad had a .22 in his tackle box for snakes and the other guy pulls out this big old bowie knife. Both of 'em missed the hell out of the turtle from less than 3 ft, sometimes closer. Screaming and hollering like little girls we were. I can't remember how, but I guess we finally managed to get far enough out it's way so it could climb back over the side and into to water. Turtle-1, Tool Wielding Humans-0.

True story. I was 14 years old back in 1974. I'll soon turn 51 and have yet to taste turtle soup. I learned 2 things:

1. Never shoot a firearm into the bottom of a boat.

2. I guess sometimes the turtle eats you (well almost).

Saw Cooter in the thread title and couldn't resist.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
