General Discussion / Re: What is Coach Bill Belichick's connection to the State of Maine ??

« Last post by ElvisLives on Today at 02:15:39 PM »

UPDATE: The possible future Mrs. Belichick  just finished 3rd in the Ms. Maine USA contest. Bill had a frount row seat. Last year she finished 2nd in the same contest. Bill is known to not like losers, but she was Ms. Hancock County both years 

Those NFHS Football Case Books should be here soon.....

The longer he encourages her to seek the crown, the longer she is likely to stay in her current physical condition. I would say Bill is a winner. But, time can be...shall we say...unkind?

Of note: Shaw said in Chicago last week that the T-Signal is being discussed to be an invalid signal on ALL kicks, not just free kicks.

That would make our lives simpler.

Both you guys are sniffing down theright path  .   Coach B's current Main(e) squeeze, Jordon Hudson, was born and grew up in Hancock Point, Maine. We have a lakeside cottage in Hancock County, but I can't recall of ever seen her swimming by  . While the spread in age may bother some, we need to remember that the 26 point spread to the Falcons in the Super Bowl didn't bother him  .

 

  You are a truly funny guy, Ralph. Thanks for the humor this morning. I needed it, and now I’m in a much better mood. I hope you have a great day (today and always). I’m off to go mow my yard.

In addition to the ticket price, that will be yet another subscription service.

A time honored suggestion. that has endured for generations is, "if it isn't broke, don't fix it.  Although new technologies often offer attractive/seemingly exciting nuances to offer suggestively exciting improvements to many long standing activities, an unfortunately high percentage, sadly turn out to be "much ado, about nothing", or counter productive. Live, human sports officiating, with all it's suggested "limitations" has consistently proven it's value against unproven, theoretic technical revisions/enhancements advertised to provide improvement exceeding practical limitations and adjustments far more available by capable, and carefully considered practical adjustments, if and where necessary.

Odds are his connection, not hers, considering he’s been around 49 years longer to make a connection to Maine (or anywhere else).

His connection or his girlfriend's connection?

Would it mean anything other than when the ball is on the ground?

If I were writing the definition, I’d say, “The ball is spotted when it is placed on the ground and released by a game official at the succeeding spot.”
Several variables there. “On the ground.” “Released.” “Game official.” “Succeeding spot.” Gotta be on the ground. Gotta be released. Gotta be placed by a game official (not a ball person, player, or anybody else). Gotta be at the succeeding spot (which means the correct yard line and location between the hash marks.)
See. As always, it takes a lot of words to describe even simple concepts. A necessary evil.
