Every year, I’ve sat back as the names have been read. Last night I’m driving my kids around, so I started getting a lot of texts. “And when you wake up this morning and you look at that list and the names that are there with you, I would say that, and then the names that didn’t make that cut. Guys like Steve Atwater, who I respect so much. Darren Woodson, Karl Mecklenburg. You realize that absolutely you never take that for granted, and I’ll never make that ...

Could Fourth Time Be The Hall Of Fame Charm For John Lynch

... off all the media and wouldn’t sign autographs.”. A quote about Sapp from New England head coach Bill Belichick may have sealed the deal. They were the final words Kaufman uttered in the room. “Look, Sapp and Brooks are the closest things I’ve seen to ‘Mean’ Joe Greene and Jack Ham,” Belichick said. “If you don’t take care of Warren Sapp, none of the rest matters.”. Kaufman was two for two. In 2014 he was called upon to pitch Brooks, which didn’t require any pleading, cajoling or convincing. “Dick Vitale could have gotten Derrick Brooks across the finish line because there aren’t any negatives,” Kaufman said. “Since I’ve been in Tampa, Derrick Brooks is the best player I’ve ever seen from a Buc perspective.”. Last year it was Dungy’s turn. It was hardly rubber stamped. Dungy won one Super Bowl in his career. There are coaches with two who won’t sniff the Hall. Sorry, Tom Flores and George Seifert. “To tell you the truth, some people look at Dungy and are a little bit turned off,” Kaufman said. “They think he’s preachy and holier than thou.”. But as Kaufman pointed out, as he did last year before the Selection Committee, Dungy succeeded in Tampa with ...

State Retirement Contribution Bill Heads To Nh House

... a role in supporting public education and public safety,” Cushing said. “It made a promise to communities it would partner and support retirement costs for teachers… police and fire.”. Cushing said he proposed the state contribute 15 percent because he believes that would be more likely to pass than a request for the state to return to 35 percent. A cost analysis provided by the New Hampshire Retirement System states the bill would have the state contribution increase by $40.81 million in fiscal year 2018, and that number would increase slightly in the following three years. “It’s a claw back in its attempt to hold the state accountable,” Cushing said. One of the committee members who voted against recommending the bill, Rep. Steven Beaudoin, R-Rochester, said he understood local taxpayers would benefit from the state contributing to the system. However, he believes the state should not be funding pensions for any town or city employees and questioned whether tax dollars raised from small towns should be used to pay for employee pensions in larger cities. Beaudoin ...

Go back to your New Guinea contingent,' and closed the door on me.". But Mr Cochrane told the inquiry he remembers otherwise. "It didn't occur," he said. Counsel assisting the inquiry David Lloyd asked whether it was possible Mr Cochrane had dismissed the student's remark because he did not regard it as credible. "No, you don't dismiss those types of claims as a school master," Mr Cochrane replied. "It's horrible. I'm actually a little bit emotional now thinking about it.

You create a circumstance that somebody has a really good idea for a restaurant and you put it on steroids with an amazing business model. Like most things, I think the business model can take over what you’re doing to the point where you stop being what you are. When it comes to American values, the American dream was a ...
