With the wife, our 3 year old and our 8 year old. Flying is almost impossible because of the connections so I'm going Family Truxter/National Lampoon style. I have done it twice before and by the time I arrive I feel like Louis & Clark. So, while you are chilling on your couch this weekend, I'll be paying tolls through West Virginia and Ohio, stopping in Toledo to poop, and hauling some serious ass up to ski and see the in-laws. This is how you build a strong family folks, by making your kids play license plate bingo, Punch buggy, and I Spy. Americana!

Fuggin love it up there...but not in the winter haha

have fun brother

i love trips like that (although we don't have kids in the equation yet). the wife and i did a trip to maine at the end of october. only stopped for three hours on the way up and didn't stop at all on the way back. good times

Post kids, even if the kids aren't with you, those trips have stops every 2 to 3 hours. Enjoy it while it lasts.

i've gotten a glimpse into this world having my FIL on some trips... he destroyed his knee a while back in a motorcycle accident and has to get out every hour or two to stretch out. makes the driving itself more tedious, but i still love the road. i have trucker blood in me

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
