I think I aged 10 years last night...

So this morning I woke up and my son turned 18 and I can't get it out of my head and it's really f*cking with my day. It seems like yesterday he was that 6 or 7 year old boy in the Ricky Williams jersey at the Huddle tailgate which had about 10 of us back then. (Can you believe we have been tailgating together for about 12 years!)

Anyway...now he is a young man at 6' 2" that actually hurts me when we wrestle or throw jabs at one another (not that I will ever let him know that) and dunks over me when we play basketball. I am 37 years old and I didn't realize I was getting "old" until a couple of years ago but today, it sank in much more. I can only imagine how much worse it will be when he heads off to NC State in a few months.

I have always heard people say "they grow up so fast"...well to all you guys (and girls) that have these young children.....those people are not lying. It's defintely true.

Wow JR, how about that?

18 and off to school.

I dunno how I'm gonna deal with it.

My baby girl is 5 and reads everything now, goes to school all day and wants to wear mommy's makeup already. It freaks me out now, I can't imagine what I'm gonna be like in a few years.

But you know what, all we can do is raise 'em the best we can and give 'em the love and support they need. Can't do anything about the passage of time.

Yup, I know how you feel J Rock.

My oldest son leaves foir the Army (Airborne Infantry) next week and my 2nd Son leaves in 2 months for the same with an option to go to RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program like myself and not less than 12 of my relatives).

I look at my 3 younger sons (all under 5 YO) and I'm not sure I will be able to handle this separation and emotional roller coaster again...but I will.

I have to.

I'm Dad.

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
