A coworker set me up with their niece. It was the last day of work before our offices closed for Christmas, and my coworker said "I really want you to meet my niece." I said "Sure, give her my email and phone number, I'm always up for meeting new people." I didn't think the girl would call - after all, I probably wouldn't call some random girl that my aunt tried to set me up with. So I go home to Raleigh for Christmas (I live in Atlanta), and I'm talking with my aunt. She happens to be a house mother at a sorority at UGA. She's asking me about my love life, and I'm telling her that I've basically just been dating but haven't been back in a relationship since splitting up with my ex about eight months ago. For whatever reason I told her that a coworker was trying to set me up with her niece, and I remembered the coworker telling me that her niece had been in a sorority at UGA. So I told my aunt the girl's name and my aunt says "I know her. She was a member of the sorority that I'm a house mother for!"

I get an email from this girl the next day that says "So, this is me writing you the 'my aunt wants to set me up with you' email." It was a hilarious and cute email, so I called her the next day on my ride back to Atlanta. We went on our first date a few days later, and the rest is history. That was three and a half years ago.

To this day we still joke about the fact that I knew her aunt and she knew my aunt before we even met. I think we're the only ones that find that interesting.

Yeah.

was on the west coast with a bunch of my buddies on a motorcycle trip. We were all on the beach playing volleyball, which seems to be a common thread here today, and two chicks asked if they could join so of course we said yes. We started talking/flirting and 17 years later, here we still are.

PS...happy now Boo and Boo's secretary?

She probably just liked you because you are 8' tall and were playing volleyball.

when I first met my wife, it was 9 months before we started dating.

She was dating some loser in Greensboro, who probably posts here. After they broke up, he kept calling her crying and wanting her back, even for a couple of months after we had started dating.

dated her niece first, then in true jerry springer form i dumped the niece and married the aunt. 14 years later, i guess it was a good call. her niece is still a lil hottie tho, but she's cheated on the husband many times.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
