DIS Dads DDC XXXIII: Bad Idea Factory!!!

Randall is coming to Indy?

 

[declansdad]

It's the Bruins, they don't travel as well as Hawks fans Seriously, the Preds do not do well with weeknight games as they count on the family with kids draw and the kids are in school that week. Very passionate fan base but small as this just is not a hockey town like up north.

Last time we were to a game in Montreal we paid $124 per ticket and we at this level.

Good Morning Men!

Friday nights game was a good effort with us winning by 24. A little revenge for losing to them last year with DD team. DD team duplicated the effort on Saturday and both teams enter week two at 1-0. DD team plays again tonight.

Patriots win and still have the lead in home field for the playoffs. It was looking pretty ugly through 3 quarters. Good think Edelmann decided to play.

Have a good week everyone.

DW called me at work to tell me about her vacation weeks. Looks like she has a week in mid Feb. Was hopeful that we could do a long weekend at the World and hit Universal. I didn't like the idea of throwing Universal into our normal Disney vacation. I was optimistic until I looked at airfare. Looks like juts south of $2K no matter what I try. I'm going to keep looking though.

OUCH! Thats pretty steep. Around here the prices tend to fluctuate a lot between the weekend and mid week. Good luck finding a deal.

Thanks.

She won her 50 backstroke heat and a candy cane along with it. I posted the picture to FB, but can't get PB to upload it. I'll try later. She also improved on her 50 fly time by 3 seconds and kept the same pace on the 50 and 100 free. Not too bad for only her 2nd meet of the year.

Congrats to her! You did let her have the candy cane right?

Congrats to DD!!! And safe travels getting back home!!

Tonight I have to hand it to the Hawks on back to back wins and taking over first place. Had a great meet up with Mike and his wonderful family at the game, thank you again for the beer and the great meet up! Still say your DW and DD have better taste in jerseys! Lol

Nice meet up guys!

Agree with Randall, nice job guys.

Oh, and Randall, the Rat Birds are going down today.

Umm......Not that I like the Ravens, but I only root for them twice per season. When they play the Jets and when they have a chance to take down those pesky teams supported by my nemie. Congrats Randall! Sorry (well not really) CJ.

Happy Sunday fellas

Go Colts!!!

That was an ugly game for the Colts. Congrats on the win and staying in the hunt.

Sure.

So is it a beer or Dole Whip? I hope you enjoy that erin Randall. He won't even bet with me this Sunday.

Amen Mike! This time of year I usually root for the Falcons, my team before the Oilers moved into town.

Hey, the Falcons are in 1st place in the division and are headed towards the playoffs at 5-7.

There must be a lot of peed off teams at 9-4 out there.

Thought you guys would have closed this thing out by now.

Another runner-up weekend for the basketball team. Three tournaments and three silver medals. Boys played well all weekend going 3 and 1 with the only loss in the final. DS was our player of the game for 2 of our games, pulling down 18 rebounds in one game.

One more tournament to go before Christmas and the start of school ball.

Congrats on a good weekend and to Declan on his Rodman-like performance! Continued good luck.

Congrats to you and DD as well, sounds like both teams are going to be good.

I missed this post some how. Nice for the team and an impressive stat line for your boy! What age group is he in?

Dude...that chaotic. I had them out for a party...left the cooler outside as it was plenty cool enough. Decided I wanted a beer today none in the house fridge. I went to the garage. It only had Miller Lite and I knew something was amiss. It was then I remembered the cooler of beer.

I am not proud of myself.

Miller light gives me indigestion. Clearly you need to class up those parties a little bit. I hope the beer in the cooler was at least worth finding. We keep a few Bud Lights around for the ladies.

There is. I'm prepping my girls. Reality though, it's going to be about something going wrong and people trying to survive. There's only many things you can do with the plot. Kind of like Jaws.

Dinosaurs with Frickin laser beams attached to their heads would be cool.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they have one. Probably need to be a CEO or higher.

Our whole "Christmas Bonus" consists of a form letter of thanks, emaled to the stores and posted for all to see. Ho Ho Ho

And a happy New year!

Last? Had to try it

Wrong thread.

We call it Bantam, it is for kids born in 2001 and 2002. Mostly 13 year old's are playing at the "A" level while the teams with the 12 year old's are typically the "B" teams.

Steelers travel to Atlanta this Sunday. As noted, Atl is 5-7 and facing GB on MNF. That should be an advantage for Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh fan base is nervous as heck. For whatever reason, the Steelers seem to rise to the occasion against top talent teams but sink to the level of lesser opponents (NYJ, TB, NOS). It's maddening as a fan to watch. The Steelers offense is prolific when it decides to be. The D is mud. Quite a change in the team's makeup from what it normally is.

That's what we do with American beer up here.

Hey, watch it there! You'll be sorry when we sign someone that can actually put the puck in the net. I'm not sure you can even drive by the TD Garden without paying $99.

Can you close a thread without actually closing a thread?

And Atlanta will be 5-8 and still a game or two up in the division after tonight. They got old fast. Steelers even playing down shouldn't have any problems. You'll need the win to even have a shot at the playoffs so I think they'll play better. How bad is it going to look when a 6-10 team gets in?

Pats have to go the last 3 games against division rivals after playing the tops of the league the last 6 weeks. Hoping we don't see a let down this week. Home field will play a pretty big part in the AFC playoffs this year. I think if we maintain the #1 seed we go the the SB, if not we are in trouble.

That's what we do with American beer up here.

You get American beer up there? I thought it was all moonshine and KY bourbon.

Thank you,
A friend and I have been planning a Hall of Fame trip to Toronto. We always try to plan it for when they play the Preds, the trip keeps falling through but hopefully one day we will make it.

If you want to get into a leaf game, make sure you have a big wad of $$$ on you, and prepare to kiss it good bye. There hasn't been a ticket available at the box office for a Maple Leaf game in over 30 years.

Last time we were to a game in Montreal we paid $124 per ticket and we at this level.

And in Toronto, if we can get that we high five each other and yell SCORE!!
