You might be delusional if: You think you can post something like this and have it result in people everywhere spontaneously clapping their hands.

I did it.

 

[Mingo]

I did it.

I wasn't referring to you Pump. First problem would be @Draft Crazy isn't tall enough to make sure everyone stood up.

I could stand on your shoulders (because of course you would be standing)... Then we would all be standing.

Not yet. Have had a hybrid for the last 12 years, and it’s been great. I’m watching and waiting - currently not in the market for any car.

I'm thinking Seth Williams will be a much better looking WR with Wilson tossing him footballs. Tyrie Cleveland is still around - he compares as an athlete to Tim Patrick.

We don't hear about Drew Himmelman but the big dude got the highest amount of bonus money to sign as a UDFA last year and the Broncos like him at OT.

There is a lot of depth at WR and Oline - that I think the Broncos would deal for a pick.

Did anyone else see the video of Russell Wilson bringing the TEs and WRs to his home in San Diego - which just happens to have a football field in the backyard?

Oddly, even then I could still be seated.

Somebody has to tell @LGM that just because he has been active - that doesn't mean this holiday is about him.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Hey guys.

Holiday? Is Tax Day something that special?

Nobody accuses @LGM of being an "active" taxpayer.

 

[WalkerBoh]

Hey guys.

 

[Mingo]

Happy Easter mi amigos.

 

[SpringStein]

And to you, as well, Mingo! And a wonderful Passover to anyone celebrating that as well.

Ken Burns shorted Benjimen Franklin with just a 4-hour Documentary and then misused his themes. He gave the subject a hack. Too bad because this country could use a refresher course in Ben Franklin right now.

I just watched that too. Glossed over a lot of things that were more important than his affairs in France.

Spot on.

Burns could have pointed out that the Franklin Stove - allowed the populace of the day to get the same amount of heat for only 1/3 the amount of wood - or smoke. That took a lot of work out of a person's day - since they had to chop it themselves.

Or Burns - could have pointed out that Franklin was the top socialist of his day, introducing lending libraries, fire departments and reliable timely mail delivery (with Franklin has postmaster a letter mailed in Philadelphia was in New York for delivery in 48 hours. Fortunately - he got those concepts in before Socialism became a thing. Contrasting those ideas - Franklin was also the national #1 capitalist - as he franchised print shops all across the colonies and then split the profits for printing Franklin's almanac at the same time. He owned the printing platform and provided it their most popular content. He measured the distance between towns to make sure the postal routes - delivering the news from around the colony was as efficient as it could be making news timely and relevant.

Burns did mention that Franklin measured the ocean currents on every voyage but didn't mention that American ships using his routes sailed to Europe two months faster than the British navy could with their routes. Consequently - Franklin knew about the Battle of Saratoga and the Surrender of Gen. John Burgoyne weeks before the British knew.

He was the only patriot to have signed all five of the USA creation documents. He was the #1 humorist in American - the was the best know American - he was America's best diplomate. He found and sent to the US - Gen. Von Stubben the German character who trained Washington's army and built the US army field manual - most of which is still in use today. He sent Thomas Paine to the US (and then printed his patriotic pamphlets. He found Thadeous Kosciusko - a self - trained polish engineer and recruited him to design defenses to protect Philadelphia from British ships., Kosciusko also shaped the Saratoga battlefield for Arnold and it was Kosciusko's plan to protect West Point - the Arnold sold to the British. Franklin also sent Lafyette the 2nd richest man in France to the American Revolution.

Burns could have mentioned that without Franklin's help from France - the Coloneys didn't have any gun powder - all of it came from France - because of Franklin.

Climbs off his horse and finally ends discussion.
