The offense of my youth! I would love to see a bit of that return. Would Villari be the fullback, or might they run it with Yasin and Nixon in the backfield?

 

[Jake]

A home and home spring concept. Pretty cool.

I like the bit where he mentioned they had a bad practice and a coach suggested maybe they chill a bit. Fran says if you say that to me again you're fired. LOL.

 

[Archimedes]

Fran's the best.

That is the most undart thing to say, right? We need buy in from the coaches. The players that come here WANT to be coached and to be driven. No excuses = accountable.

You can't always have bullseyes, but yeah, that's like missing dart board bad.

Phenomenal

Where's the thread for our latest verbal commit? Mark Ingram clearly said his son will play for Fran. Ingram keyed in on the Jersey aspect. I assume he lived in NJ when his dad played for the Giants.

Edit: He was born in Hackensack, NJ

I am a product of Hackensack High School. But who wants a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

All it gets you is a heart attack-attack-attack, you oughta know by now ( I am completely guessing at the next lyrics, I did not look them up). Very clever post on your part.

I’m a huge Billy Joel fan.

Speaking of Billy Joel, here’s a true story: Billy’s saxophone player Mark Rivera went to my church in Brewster NY and his son Dario and my son Matt were schoolmates. One day I hear a crash outside my house and looked outside and saw my mailbox in smithereens. About 10 minutes late I get a call from Mark Rivera telling me his son Dario had just destroyed my mailbox and can he come over and fix it.

My son Matt is a musician so thinking quickly I told Mark that instead of that, could he give my son Matt some guitar lessons (Mark also plays guitar).
So he did! And the best part of it all is that he also gave my son Matt a recommendation to both NYU and Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Next time you see a Billy Joel concert and you see the fantastic saxophone player you’ll think of me lol.

Edit: sorry for getting off track

So, you know Mark Rivera (who also played sax on Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer) and your mailbox is in the Smithereens? Wow!

Yep! You can add Foreigner, Ringo Starr Band and Hall and Oates. I have to admit a little man jealousy. Dude is just too good looking and charismatic even when not performing

I'm a huge fan as well. You might enjoy the Billy Joel A to Z podcast. It can be a little rough at times, but it goes through Joel's entire catalogue alphabetically including unreleased tracks. It's hosted by a couple of NYC comedians.
