I am going to be in South Florida for a couple of days next week. Flying into Ft. Lauderdale, staying in Hollywood, but will be driving down to Miami at least one day to check out South Beach, Little Havana, etc. As some of you know I am a rabid homebrewer and love to visit breweries when I...

Starting a new Steelers thread for the offseason. I will be periodically updating the thread title when there is major news.

So long time FBGs will remember that I have been home brewing for many years. About 6 years ago I took it to the next level and invested maybe $15k in equipment and I now do 1/2 barrel batches and have 9 beers on tap at my house. The name of my fictional brewery is Thursday Night Aleworks...

Watching the playoff games this past weekend and was thinking how the NFL would have handled the Damar Hamlin situation if it occurred yesterday. I am guessing they would have suspended the game on Sunday but played it on Monday. What do you think?

Pittsburgh Steelers hall of famer Franco Harris has passed away at age 72, days before the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. The Steelers had only appeared in one playoff game in their 40 year history and had never scored a postseason touchdown. All of that changed with Franco...

Probably 5-6 years ago parents in our school district began putting signs in their front yards with their kid's names. It started with football players, and then cheerleaders and then other sports teams. And of course they leave them up even in the offseason. The past few years parents...

I've tried for years to get FAAB in our league but to no avail so we are still stuck with Waiver Order. I held the last draft position so I was given the #1 slot on the WW list. I have found in the past that being #1 can hamstring you into waiting around forever for the "BIG" FA to become...

AFC East - Bills AFC West - Chiefs AFC North - Bengals AFC South - Colts Wildcards: Chargers, Broncos, Ravens NFC East - Eagles NFC West - Rams NFC North - Packers NFC South - Bucs Wildcards: Cowboys, Saints, 49ers

Have one team pick up three 3 guys this week from the WW and is starting none of them.   One of the pick ups was a defense where he already had 3 defenses rostered so he was 4 on his team now. I don't care, he certainly is within his rights, and the transactions cost him cash and add to the...

Back Story: My elderly mother was on oxygen for the last 12 months of her life so I had purchased a portable oxygen concentrator machine so she could still be able to go to the store, dinner, etc..  About 3-4 months before she passed away in the O2 machine stopped working (it was under...

Covid-19 positive 

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 12mThe #Ravens cut short practice today after CB Marcus Peters and RB Gus Edwards sustained potentially significant knee injuries on back-to-back plays, per me and @MikeGarafolo . The team is having tests done on both players.

Continually get these.  I guess they must be profitable or they wouldn't be doing them but my question is who are the people foolish enough to sign up for them?   

Last year we allowed up to 4 players to be placed on Injured list for players that were out only due to Covid. This year I want to propose lowering it to 2 players but open it up for players that are listed as OUT. I am wondering how other leagues police the use of injury rosters spots.   ...

Tough situation here... We played last year but did not have our end-of-season meeting where we give the trophy and distribute winnings because of the Covid pandemic. Last week I sent out an invite for our annual summer meeting in August where we discuss possible rule changes and we draw to...

Taking first post-Covid trip at the end of this month and going to Nashville with wife and a few friends.  Flying in on a Friday evening and flying back home on a Tuesday evening.   Staying at the AC Marriott downtown and looking for stuff to do. I am a big home brewer so definitely want to...

12 year old whirlpool side by side refrigerator/freezer in my downstairs bar not working since Saturday or Sunday.  Neither side gets cold. 1. the external coils underneath fridge were a little dusty but not bad and I did clean them.  2. I can hear the compressor click on initially when I turn...

Aside from the essentials are you isolating yourself from family that doesn't live with you, friends, neighbors, etc.?

The wife and I are going to NYC in April on a Friday morning and coming back Monday evening.    We have tickets to see Hamilton on Saturday.    MY wife definitely wants to see the 911 Memorial Musuem but aside from that we have no other plans.   I was thinking we would also check out Central...

Let's put the injury-plagued 2019 season behind us. On to a new year. It sounds like there is a good chance the Steelers will be the subject of Hard Knock's: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/five-nfl-teams-are-eligible-for-hard-knocks-this-year-and-one-of-them-would-be-a-perfect-fit/
