I gave up booze and fine cigars all in one day! Since 1994, I've had 1 cigarette and about 1 glass of beer.

Oh, I also gave up beef at the same time! No steaks, hamburgers, and very little pork products. I really feel much better since I gave up beef! You can smell people who eat a lot of beef! They smell like burnt hamburgers!

Good thing my Father wasn't alive. He would have called me a "weak willed quitter!"

When I first joined the Navy I was sent to Tennesee for training, and I hated it. I mean I was completely miserable and got to thinking that joining the Navy was the biggest mistake of my young life. There was not much to do but go to the EM club and I started drinking, not socially, but to get drunk, almost every night. Being 18 we were only allowed to drink the 3.2 beer they served but there was no way I was going to wait for that, so I ended up getting called to the back room a few times to get read the riot act on buying mixed drinks.

I finally got in enough trouble that I was reassigned, and was lucky enough to keep my electronics program, just sent to a different rate. I ended up giving up alcohol for the 8 weeks I was in sub school to try and see if I was indeed an alcoholic (I think my dad was in some way).

My last night at sub school I came to the conclusion that I did not have a drinking problem, I had a Tennesee problem, got pretty trashed with my best friend from sub school and some nurses we met, and everythings been cool since.

I really enjoy drinking and am one of those people who can drink and not have it affect my family or job. So far!

I freely admit that the extra 15 lbs I have right now is due to martinis but I have a plan

that post started out strong and ended badly..

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
