    All the complaining about the calls or no calls. Take the game out of the refs hands. Catch the ball. Make a 4th and 1.

    Facts are facts and it doesn’t matter how they got them…Mahomes is going for a 3 peat. Wanna stop it? Out score them.

    Bingo – Haters are always going to hate.

    I really don’t get all the KC hate.

    whether you like to admit it or not, KC gets a lot of calls that end up going their way. so many so that its becoming hard to watch.

    As far as KC getting more calls going there way. Almost all the calls that people have bitched about all year are looked at the following day on ESPN. Almost every time they bring in a head replay official and they end up showing that most all the calls in ? were correct as per the way the rules are written. I’ve watched a ton of other games this year and there are plenty of calls that are in ? in almost every game. The media and fans just like to make a Big deal on the questionable calls in KC games. I think half of the new rules are total BS, but the players have nothing to do with those rules and how they are called. The whole Tush push crap is a joke. How any official can tell where to spot the ball down in that massive pile I have no idea.
    There are always going to be questionable calls. Even with replay they sometimes get it wrong

    One of the biggest thing for me when fishing the waters near me is dropping all the way down to see if I can pull something off the bottom. A lot of guys mentioned drilling a ton of holes; often I see nothing at all on my flasher, but I’ll drop all the way down with a wax worm or plastic, bounce the bottom & lift up just a little and see movement.

    Like I said, that happens once in awhile. Most of the time those tend to be real inactive fish and you have to work real hard to get them to bite. Most of the time active fish are up off the bottom far enough to easily mark them on a flasher. I just find that waiting to find active fish to bother to fish works way better for me.

    Add Denver as great place for opposing fans to visit. Had a blast both Vikings games I have been to there.

    also been to Denver to watch a football game. Their fans are Great

    Does the weed line theory work when the weed line is so shallow due to extremely green water in the summer?
    Some of the lakes I fish have a weed line that is almost cliff like at 10 feet.

    to me a weedline is a weedline. Rather its in 6 feet of water or 25 Feet of water. weedlines always hold fish. Somedays fish roam a little farther off them than others.

    I would guess Elway or Jim Kelly

    Id guess the same. I don’t think Kelly won any of them

    This time of the year panfish will often roam out in deep water basins as well. It takes a lot of work to find these fish and they often move around a lot. They are rather easy to spot on electronics and are often rather aggressive once located. Will need to drill lots of holes to locate them and keep drilling holes to stay on them.

    I’d start will a good map of the lake. Find any larger weed flats. There should be panfish both on the flat as well as just off the edge of it. Then like others said – Drill, Drill, and drill some more. Use you electronics to check each hole. If not marking fish I’d keep moving till you do. I won’t even bother to fish a hole without marking fish. Yes its possible to pull a fish in that may be outside the cone angle or hugging the bottom, but till I mark fish I will not even bother to drop a line.

    Go to any opposing teams stadium in your gear , I would expect razzing. Eagles fans no different

    Razzing maybe – What they do at Philly is more than just razzing

    There use to be small trolling motors that attached direct to a out board motor. Looks like Minn Kota makes one:

    I’m sure there are others as well.

    I will say it ended as I projected. All my buddies said I was crazy picking both Philly and KC. I just can’t pick against KC. Until someone can beat then in a playoff, they are always the team I will pick. Not a real big Philly fan ( Hate those fans ) That said I do like Barkley and the way he plays the game. I really don’t get all the KC hate. I guess some people just don’t like teams that win and always want to cheer for the underdog. Personally I like KC. Great Coach, Great QB ( Not the best QB – But as of now the best in the playoffs ) He just makes plays when it matters the most and does what’s needed to win. He doesn’t seem to care about personal stats. Just wins. They are not the team with the best players. They somehow always seem to get the most out of their players when needed, whoever those players are.

    I was thinking gloves…I just reread and he said warmers.

    Yep correct on gloves. Bulky and don’t like getting real wet. I hated mine. They get really smelly and cant be washed.

    What are you using them for? If it’s for ice fishing I wouldn’t recommend them. They are bulky and can’t get wet.

    I use mine all the time for ice fishing. Just slip one in my pocket or in my hand muff. Never had a problem with them being bulky or getting wet. My wet slimmy hands are on mine all the time. Are we sure we are talking about the same thing.

    I’d say hard to beat a 4MM Tungsten jig or even a 3MM when the bite is tough. I prefer a larva over a wax worm, they last much longer on the hook. Although on Crappies somedays tipped with a plastic will out fish live bait. Depends on the aggressiveness of the fish

    I’ve stored and used mine many times in temps below -4. Never a problem. My wife jump started 2 back to back at work during the last cold spell. I charged it back up and back out into her car it went

    QB – Fear the Most. Maholmes ( proven winner ) Allen ( probably Best Skilled QB ) Daniels ( Youth and playing freely ) Hurts ( Without a great RB he is probably average at best )
    Like to watch the Most – KC, Buffalo, Washington, Philly

    Side Note – Daniels now has 2 playoff wins as a rookie. That is one more than Kurt Cousins has in his career. I don’t think a rookie QB has ever won a Championship. Not even sure if one has even played in one.

    I would have only been correct in 2 out of 4 games. I’m not a KC hater like a lot of people. until someone can beat them they are still the team to beat. At this point I think a Buffalo and Washington championship game would be cool. I don’t think it will happen, but who knows.

    I’m with Big G on this one. If he had caught that ball cleanly that would have been a sure TD. They would have reviewed it because all scoring plays are reviewed – But it would have stood as a TD

    I’d say I eat waterfowl more than most. Probably three days a week average. A couple good snow goose hunts yields a lot of meat in the freezer. Plus all the duck and other gooses. About half is processed in to various goodies.

    Sure hope the Snows are mostly processed into something. Not sure how you could eat many of those nasty tasting thing. We use to shoot a pile of them. 99.9% ended up ground up and made into Jerky. You could not pay me to eat one baked.

    $13 a day for a soda/energy drink and a pack of cigs, 5 days per week….totaling roughly 250 typical work days in a year.

    That’s well over $3000 a year even if you don’t work every typical work day. Then factor in what that will likely do someday to your health and the surrounding expenses, and what you get is increased health insurance rates for everyone!

    Although not probably as bad for your health, but people with their fancy coffee habits probably spend just as much a year. The # of coffee places here in the St. cloud area blows my mind. All of them always seem to have cars lined up around them or line’s full of people. Its really crazy with younger people. Lots of them having 2-3 high priced coffee’s a day.

    Mid winter Can be a challenge for sure. There are still plenty of fish to be caught. I find you have to watch the weather and pressure for sure. If the weather remains stable for a few days and the pressure remains fairly stable the fish will bite fine. Start of cold fronts and rapidly rising pressure is by far the worst. Catch period after a few stable weather days and possibly a slightly falling pressure and the bite can be grreat.

    I can’t stand the stuff. Brings tears to my eyes.
    My Dad used to make it or should I say, had me make it, at least the grinding part.

    I believe myself and all my cousins still have eye damage to this day from having to grind horseradish as kids at our grandparents house. No goggles used in those days. Us kids would have to take turns running up to the grinder and filling it and cranking it. We would all end up looking like we had been sprayed with the best police mace there is. I still don’t know how we did not end up going blind from all we had to grind. My grandparents would eat it on everything. Full German

    Milk
    21/2 to 3 gallons/week

    Wow – That’s a lot of milk. I’m on the opposite end on Milk. I can count on one hand the # of glasses of milk I’ve drank in the last year on one hand and have fingers remaining. Have some every once in awhile on cereal. but other than that and cooking, almost 0

    Lions and Bills in the super bowl. Neither team has won one. They played a month ago and it was like watching a video game.

    I would not mind that matchup. Right now the Bills would have to get past Baltimore and then most likely the Chiefs. That’s a tall task. There is no way I could ever bet against KC. Until they get knocked off, they are still the team to beat.

    Just wanting to cut down on the amount of equipment floating around in my sled and not wanting something that would easily be lost.

    Fastening a ruler to the scoop or dremeling/engraving into the scoop are more along the lines of what I was thinking!

    The folding rules would be great. Small in size and can be used to measure ice thickness or fish up to 60″

    Fishthumper egg prices are absurd and most of the store bought eggs taste like nothing after eating farm raised ones. My daughters sell ours at $4 a dozen and as soon as I send a group message out to family/friends we’ve got people lined up.

    Our break even cost is about $2 per dozen to cover feed.

    I wish I knew a local farmer around here to get eggs from. My wife eats a crazy amount of them. So these cost either she is going to need to cut back or we will go poor.

    Matt,
    You gotta a good spot? I’m always looking to broaden my Sushi experience. Love me some good Unagi. waytogo

    Believe it or not here in the St. cloud area both Sam’s club and the Coborns do a great job of sushi. Easy to stop in and pick some up on my way past often. Like everything, I wish it was not so expensive.

    Lately it has been pickles, usually baby dills, I go through 2-3 jars a week.

    I love me some good dill pickles. Went on a bender on them a few months back myself.
