I have an opportunity to move to Honolulu, Hawaii. Has anyone ever lived there? Is it one of those places that Visiting on Vacation is great but Living there is a bad idea? I would only be there for four years max, but is that three years and 11 months to much?

One knock on the place I have is that it is SO FAR AWAY form Carolina Panthers Games...good thing for NFL Package on Direct TV :cool:

Lived there for three years. Great weather, great beaches, good nightlife, but very expensive. Gas and food especially will be higher than anything you are use to.

If you can deal with the cost, its a good place to live. But its a 5 hour flight to California, so you will not get to visit the mainland very much. And watching football at 9 AM on Sunday takes some getting use to. Although Monday night games are perfectly timed for Hawaii.

Thanks for the info.....The job is great and the place sounds great almost to good to be true. How big is the island (not literal size) compared to a city on the mainland I was thinking maybe like the size of Atlanta or a Los Angles size are??

researched it if you have pets they will be detained for 30 days. Sell the car unless you are able to get your employer to pay for shipping it. Same goes with furniture.

Good news is one car (hopefully my truck) will get shipped so I can tow my boat. I heard houses are smaller then on the main land, but when looking online they seem the same size....

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
