OT: Thread About Nothing (part # who cares)

[NJDevs26]

Jake Paul is a bully. He only fights people he knows has no chance of beating him. I don’t know what people were expecting.

I asked how boxing turned from something everyone knew into something completely irrelevant, and the answers I got were MMA and corruption.

Yeah that and every big fight being behind insane paywalls...at least some of the shit as recently as the '90's was 'only' on HBO or Showtime.

Rough week for me last week. My dad died on the 5th. I feel more relieved than sad because the past year or so, he was living without dignity in a memory care facility. He had dementia as a long-term effect of full brain radiation in 2007, and pandemic isolation really kicked it into high gear. If not for that, his deterioration would have been more gradual, perhaps another 5 years. Luckily, the entire family was there- my mom, my sister, both of our spouses, and my foster baby. I'm fortunate to have been there, and so was my sister since she lives on the other coast.

Sorry for your loss.

I see your account is relatively new as well so welcome to this forum. Hopefully the Devils can give you a good season in light of all the stuff you have had to go through recently.

Anyone vouch for this getting the best hot dog in NJ title?

I honestly never heard of these guys.

Never tried them but seriously doubt they are better than Rutt's Hut, Hot Grill or Johnny & Hanges.

Well I hear Johnny & Hanges ain't what it used to be...not sure on that these days.

Johnny & Hanges and Libby's used to be spectacular. Libby's closed and Johnny & Hanges changed hands in the 90's....I heard when they were sold the recipes didn't come with the sale.

Had venison burgers tonight. First tasting of the Kansas whitetail. It was phenomenal. Maybe the best venison I've had.

The most meat I've ever gotten from a east coast/NJ/NY/PA whitetail is roughly 60 lbs. But high 30's/40 is more like the average...this animal yielded 97 lbs. Unbelievable.

Not sure how I got it out of the field and into the back of my car by myself to be honest. I'm still sore a week later.

Who was the Canadian native player who used to go bow hunting and kill a moose or elk and field dress it and carry it out on foot with a sled like 15 miles to his cabin. He was a tough guy but I can't remember his name. Like mid 90s player.

Chris Simon?

Chris Simon?

YES! That's him.

 

[JimEIV]

YES! That's him.

He committed suicide in March of this year. Sad. I remember driving across Canada in 1997 somewhere between Sault St Marie and Thunder Bay on the TransCan highway and we passed a billboard on the side of the road next to a bar that said "home of Chris Simon and Denny Lambert"...I remember saying to my wife imagine the shit that went on in that bar. I knew he was First Nations...I didn't know about his hunting.

So many NHL players hunt. I usually just pay attention to bowhunters.

Brad Marchand is an avid bowhunter and actually owns a lodge/outfitting business in Newfoundland with Kevan Miller who used to play for the Bruins also.

Obviously Scott Stevens and then Mike Fischer, Eric Gryba, Louie DeBrusk have all been pretty open about bowhunting...but I think a lot of guys keep it quiet to avoid any potential backlash or controversy.

Isn't JT Miller an avid hunter as well?

How do you hide your scent when you hunt?

I don't. I play the wind and morning and evening thermals.

I don't know about JT?
