depends. I can absolutely see it changing. Coconut Creek turned into mini Boca Raton

Right but that's more of an indictment of the Falcons not getting generational players than anything. And that will only further widen as today's youth become the core demographic. No matter what people think of him, once the generation of people who never saw him play live become the dominant demographic of viewership, he won't be that popular anymore. Every generation is like that.
When your most popular player in today's world is a guy who hasn't played for the team in over 15 years, that's a damning statement for your franchise.

I don't have any thoughts worth writing about the offseason and Lamar's situation, but I can talk travel forever.
FYI, in case it hasn't been on your radar, this should be a good time of year for seeing Great White Sharks. Head down near the Cape of Good Hope. Plenty of outfitters will put you underwater in a cage. I enjoyed being in one of those that got bumped by Great Whites.

Talking about travel, same. Its one of my passions. I was meant to do the cage diving years ago but my wifes (shes South African) father had a heart attack and then died a few days later so that trip turned from something into something else entirely. I've never been able to make those plans again because her family lives in the NE of SA and of course Cape Town is the opposite direction. We tend to stay in that area of the country (NE) when we go now, which isnt often enough. That said, I get to live out my "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" dreams whem I'm there. This trip we are spending 4 days and 3 nights inside Kruger National Park, Im going on a 3 day, 2 night hunt with my cousins, and we are going to an elephant rescue farm where I'll be able to walk the elephants to a dam and get to help them bathe, get hosed by them, and hopefully swing from thier tusks.
I will dive with white sharks someday, I promise. Most likely off the Mexico coast where I hope to swim with whale sharks as well.
Great white sharks? Man, only way i wanna see one of those is if i have binoculars lol..
Dam.. how is it?

South Africa? Totally awesome and totally scary at the same time. I could write paragraphs with all the insane memories I have so far. Gonna make a bunch more coming up. (Read a couple posts up)
One thing I wish more people would/could do. Travel. Mark Twain wrote the perfect quote on travel but you’ll have to look it up. I’m too lazy today.

Looked it up because I was curious..
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

I love safaris and Kruger is a great place for that - as well as for seeing the southern sky. Close encounters with elephants and whale sharks are among my favorite memories. Enjoy your trip!
You'll get back to news that Lamar has a long term, team friendly deal here.

lol. One of my favorite memories was getting charged by a mother elephant on a dirt road in Kruger. My wife, not so much. She was hyperventilating into a paper bag filled with biltong lmao. That was the day she learned what "GUN IT" meant. She said "what does gun it mean?" I replied "STEP ON THE FUCKING GAS!!!!"I love safaris and Kruger is a great place for that - as well as for seeing the southern sky.

I leave the driving to the guides on safaris.
Kruger is the only safari type park I've been where I noticed private vehicles as being common. And yes, one would learn a lot about the gas and brake pedals there.

Yeah. Every time we go into Kruger its just us in our car. Just so awesome how you round a corner and there'll be lions or elephants or baboons or rhinos or whatever just blocking the road. Just slide that sucker into park and watch them for as long as they take to travel on. We basically plan our days around how long it will take to get to the next camp by nightfall / when they close the "Jurassic Park" gates.I leave the driving to the guides on safaris.
