Rock, paper, scissors.

They passed out the roster at last year's game. So far as the rosters go, they used to use "eenie, meenie mynie moe" but that was (correctly) deemed racially offensive in 1974 and replaced with rock, paper scissors.

Flip, while I understand what you are saying about "eenie, meenie. . " I bet the younger posters (born after 1975) on this board have no idea why it would be racially insensitive.Flipper wrote:They passed out the roster at last year's game.

whats wrong with "catch a tigger by the toe"?

Older versions of songs weren't about tigers' toes. They were about something else. Similar spelling to "tiger," starts with the letter n.PGY Tiercel wrote:whats wrong with "catch a tigger by the toe"?
The "enie meenie, mynie moe" part -- if there is something offensive in that, I have no idea. Perhaps Flip will edumacate us.

Yes, I was aware of the song being about "Brazillian Nuts" thats why I spelled tiger with 2 G'sSchadenfreude wrote:Older versions of songs weren't about tigers' toes. They were about something else.

Is putting Sharon and Jacobs on the same team fair?

Yeah, but they're "stuck" with BJ Lane at RB... Turner gets to hand the ball to Pope and/or Macon...BGDrew wrote:Is putting Sharon and Jacobs on the same team fair?

Perry and Hutcherson are listed...I thought Perry was sitting out and I figured Hutch's "issues" would have lead to his departure...

I believe it's an ellipsis. An ellipse is an ovular shape...the shape of a planet's orbit.Flipper wrote:Perry and Hutcherson are listed...I thought Perry was sitting out and I figured Hutch's "issues" would have lead to his departure...

And I also love to use an ellipsis...
