    When Dodger manager Dave Roberts bullpen is successful he looks like a genius , when it fails he looks like an idiot. But let's be clear-he has made some truly idiotic decisions!

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    Amen to this stupidity. In a game in which the entire object of the sport is to get "Downfield", penalizing a player for doing this is beyond ludicrous. This seems like nothing more than a second tier ref getting a chance to throw a flag so his grand kids can see him on TV....

    NFR College Football 2025

    Little was learned from the Charlie Weis debacle at Notre Dame. His payoff was only $19 million, paltry by today's standards but shocking then and it took ND six years to pay him off. Kelly was never a great coach and couldn't win the big games. In addition he was a whiner and a crybaby and his...

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    By any measure that was a truly ugly game. It rained yellow flags. Neither team looked ready for prime time. Questionable coaching, play calling, refereeing, everything seemed to be a step off and out of sync. Bad mojo all around.

    Baseball 2025

    Whoever wins it will have a tough assignment with the Dodgers. They are rested, focused and have been there before and are not intimidated by the big stage. They had the most come from behind wins in baseball this year and are just damned hard to beat when the chips are down. But after seeing...

    NFR College Football 2025

    It is damned crazy indeed to think that sports coaches can make tens of millions of dollars while teachers are underpaid and often have to work summer jobs to make ends meet. Sports stars can now make millions while still in college whereas many students graduate with overwhelming debt that...

    Fire starters

    On YouTube I see a number of different attempts to make fire starters out of sawdust and wax and the effort, time and expense of doing that. Most attempts seem counterproductive considering how few starters you get for all of your efforts. The wax cost money and you need a lot of it and it...

    In the overwhelming Dodger sweep their much maligned starting pitching staff gave up 4 runs in 4 games. Three home runs by the starting pitcher along with 10 strikeouts and no runs has set a high bar that will probably never be seen again. Glad I got to see history made, the Dodgers 25th NL...

    Baseball 2025

    Us Dodger fans have little concern at this point, it is pretty much a cinch that they are going to the World Series. 8 wins against only 1 loss in the playoffs is pretty damned dominating. Just one more win in four chances against a team that can't score against them and they will be in the...

    Baseball 2025

    After going all season without ever seeing the M's once-blacked out on MLB TV-I finally get to see them and they are at their best. Hopefully you fans will be rewarded for over 40 years of patience and get to see them in the Series. As a Dodger fan for almost 80 years I am hoping they get to...

    Bend area in middle of October (updated with trip report)

    I haven't been there for 27 years so this is useless information. But I used to like to put in at the first launch point I came to and kick clockwise down the left side to the white slide. I caught some nice browns there over the years and hit a mayfly hatch near the white slide that produced a...

    Diesel heaters?

    Anybody using them? I have thought about one for years but the irritating click-click-click of the fuel pump always made them a non starter to me. I simply could never get to sleep with that incessant pump noise. The good ones, like Webasto, were prohibitively expensive and still are. In the...

    NFR Things I Never Knew In My Family

    Robert, my good friend Margaret was born in Manzanar and was married to my fraternity brother John. In the over 40 years that I have known her I never heard her complain about it once.

    Not just local fly shops are closing (not that Orvis is anything but a clothing store now)

    It has always been a good time to be cautious with funds! I see people doing such stupid shit with their money and then complaining that they don't have enough. Enough to do more stupid shit. Today I read about a lady that paid $88,000 for a new SUV a little over a year ago and wanted to trade...

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    I have been watching pro football since the days of Paul Hornung, Y. A Tittle, Night Train Lane, Merlin Olsen and others and thought I knew what pass interference was. Not any more. I see receivers getting absolutely mugged before the ball arrives and only the most blatant examples getting...

    NFR College Football 2025

    Having watched college football since the invention of television, it has now lost it's meaning and is no longer eagerly looked forward to. The breakup of the PAC 12 was the last straw but coaches getting millions of dollars while students graduate with thousands of dollars of debt also dimmed...

    A heater for small spaces

    When we have any type of flame in an enclosed space we are betting our lives on a happy outcome. The proper gas detector will assure us that we win that bet.
