My Grandmother had a saying....

If something doesn't work, hit it with a hammer!

My Grandfather came home for lunch one day, to find her hitting the washing machine with a hammer because it didn't work. He discovered it had become unplugged!

My Ex-Fiancée had a pickup truck that had a sticky solenoid in the starter. When it didn't start, I would pop the hood, take a hammer, hit the starter 5 or 6 times and it would start right up. (Eventually, I got tired of this and just had the starter replaced.)

Last night at exactly 11:00PM the smoke detector in the hallway started to "BEEP" every 5 minutes! I barely got any sleep! This morning all was well! (I thought it was the alarm system.)

Tonight, at exactly 11:00PM, It started Beeping again! I'm NOT losing sleep 2 nights in a row! EVERY Friggin' 5 minutes, BEEP!

So I remembered what my old Granny used to say. "Hit it with a hammer!"

My hammer won't reach, but I have a 4 foot long, dow rod! I took that rod and whacked the smoke detector! Now it's just hanging from some wires, but it stopped it's infernal Beeping! :p

So I called a neighbor and he came over with a stool. But it wasn't tall enougt to change out the battery. So he went and got another neighbor who had a taller stool.

So here's my 73 year old house keeper laughing her ass off, at the site of 3 adult males trying to change out 1, 9 volt battery! :rolleyes:

And then tonight, it dawns on me. We should have changed out the other 2, because sure as poo, they will die soon! :lol:

    • 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
