Happy Sunday glad I don't work on Monday

September 1, 2024: When things become too difficult, take the time to see how you can streamline your activities to make things easier on yourself and still fulfill your obligations. It is not good for you to live your life being overwhelmed. You need to find ways to release the stress and get your necessary rest. Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

There was a play in the first half where if our db would have turned his head he would have had a pick. Matthews maybe? I don't know who it was but he played the receiver and run thru him. I thought they were going to flag him but they didn't.

It was Matthews. Hard to expect a DB to turn his head while he is recovering from getting beat and trying to catch up to the WR. Also, good no-call as the contact was minimal.

September 1, 1939
The Start of World War II


On the evening of August 31, 1939, members of Nazi Germany's paramilitary organization, the "Schutzstaffel" (SS) occupied a radio station in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia — then Germany and now Gliwice, Poland. They pretended to be Polish soldiers and broadcast a message in Polish calling for armed struggle against Nazi Germany.

The goal was to give the impression that Polish soldiers had attacked and taken control of the German radio station. As "proof" the men left behind the body of an imprisoned Polish civilian framing him as a perpetrator. They had murdered him for this very purpose. The false flag attack was part of a series of similar provocations staged along the border. Germany's Nazi leader Adolf Hitler wanted a justification for war in order to seize Poland and his plans for expansionism towards the East.

Less than 24 hours later, early on the morning of September 1, the German military, the Wehrmacht invaded Poland — without having declared war.

That same day, Hitler made a statement in front of the lawmakers in the Reichstag in Berlin that was broadcast on the radio into virtually every German home: "This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory. Since 5.45 A.M. we have been returning the fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs. Whoever fights with poison gas will be fought with poison gas. Whoever departs from the rules of humane warfare can only expect that we shall do the same. I will continue this struggle, no matter against whom until the safety of the Reich and its rights are secured."

Why doesn’t @Jaws post anymore?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What ever happened to the Witch Doctor. Bones don't lie etc. Random I know, but I feel like the night shift will know. TIA , TIFWIW, SIAP, etc....

I don't know..I think somebody said he posts on TOS, but iirc somebody else said that was an imposter, but then somebody else said the guy that had been posting here was an imposter..

I have zero clue what actually happened to him or who was who...but I have not seen whoever it is post on VNRF in a loooong time.

 

[Devo182]

Couldn’t agree more

The talent is just lagging behind, but it will be coming into its own soon enough:

2021 (transition Pruitt's class) - 89, 88, 86, 83
2022 - 88, 87, 87, 86, 86
2023 - 92, 90, 89, 88, 87
2024 - 93, 92, 90, 89, 88, 88, 85 (McMurray)

Lol

Missed out on the ground floor, but the way each team played, have a hard time not seeing it as still bigly +EV.

Vegas is basically saying a ~32-25 game. Does anyone really think we'll be held to just 32 points with 4 quarters of Nico? Not me. Otoh I could see giving up 24-28 points potentially.

40-27 feels about right. Maybe orange tinted idk

Seems about right to me. I don't think they clear 30 or hold us under 40.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We aren’t playing for stats…we are playing for championships. Doing stupid stuff like that is how you get guys hurt unnecessarily.

I 100% agree.

 

[drvenner]

Hate to say, but similar impression of OL (in the run game). I thought protection was good for the most part.

Was surprised we couldn't open up gaping holes to run through though.

Oh well, we've seen the OL start slow the past few years then ramp up to top notch form.

Didn't we run for 300 yards?

 

[VolsnCards5]

He’s been watching HBK highlights

 

[BigTimeVol95]

Didn't we run for 300 yards?

Sampson had over 120 yards in the first half. But the holes weren’t big enough!

 

[Jackcrevol]

Seems about right to me. I don't think they clear 30 or hold us under 40.

I think 30 wins that one.

Biggest question is how soft will we play? Really think we will outphysical them.

I think 31-21, that range.
