R. Lee Ermey was buried at Arlington National Cemetery Friday with full military honors.  He died in April 2018, so he must have gotten pretty ripe.  As I stated before, anyone who has been through Basic Training would say, "Ol' R. Lee nailed it, but my DI was worse."

There is no doubt in my mind that I will be taken out and shot, lynched and branded a negative hater for this post.  I can't help it.  It's just the way I am.  No decent control at all.

I probably first heard the T-I-G mating call before most of you got out of diapers or grade school.  It has always reminded of this classic:

LOL. I called him an idiot and he went off on me. Poor guy. Doesn’t realize the Harley guys actually like me. Well, I think they do. I never see any of them. And damn, Sam. The hurricane is going to miss me too. Of course I’m in MONTREAL so I think I’ll be OK.

Thank God that you are out of danger.  I have learned from Graber's YouTube posts that he is quite the badass and very adept and experienced at killing.

Really nothing unusual here. Anyone on this board with executive experience at a large company would tell you this was bound to happen.

It happens in the M & A ( Mergers and Acquisitions) business all the time.

The initial bidder....becomes the "stalking horse" bidder....their bid is subject to higher and better bids.

With nothing formally signed, Paramount Matrix surely expected this might happen.

Or, at least....they should have.

Shrewd...on the part of our Law Director and the consulting law firm...

OK, sheriffjohnstone, but was this a M&A effort or a sealed bid process?  I don't find the M&A argument persuasive.  From what I've read, Massillon wasn't seeking a M&A with anyone; they were trying to unload a white elephant.  If it was a RFP/sealed bid process (and it reads that way to me), then allowing a losing bidder to modify the terms of his proposal after the terms of the winning bid were made public, just seems a tad unethical.

I'd assume the same video/crew/broadcast is used for the live stream and the replay on MCTV

I meant network connection(s)...

I watched the livestream of the St V game last and here is my opinion.

• Cameras & Angles.  Nicely done. 3-4 cameras including field level. A nice mix of long, medium and close-up. Each snap and ensuing play was done was in sort of a medium-close focus that showed the O & D formations and the following action.
• Replays. Yes, they had a few replays and they were mixed in with live action without interrupting the flow of the game.
• Announcing. A play-by-play announcer, but no color commentator. I judge that the play-by-play was done by a 16-17 year old young man. He did a very good job.
• Commercials. Yep. They had a few commercials. They were nicely spaced and did not interfere with the natural pace of the game. And I got to see something that I haven't seen in far too long - John George's sandwiches being made!

Given that FOX, CBS, et al have millions of dollars of equipment, technical crews and announcers with decades of experience, and, given that the WHS-TV production is the effort of high school students from a small town in OH, WHS-TV comes out favorably in a comparison.

The kids did a damn fine job.

I agree Buddy but, what if he's not blowing smoke? He may be ready to to make Rambo look like a cub scout!

Jim, after this video I am becoming inclined to agree with you and Al.  Something may become really unwound on Tremont.  N+1 cops showed up at Graber's house about brandishing or threatening with a firearm.  Garber denied it to the cops, but in his comment accompanying the video he wrote: "I had brought my shotgun out and cocked it."  By "out" he may mean outside his house on the front porch because it appears that MPD took the shotgun off a chair on his front porch while Graber was behind his front door.  If so, it's bad craziness to leave a firearm, unattended, lying around on the front porch late at night.


Here's a link if you care to read the comments.  They get pretty ripe.
