Don't know whether to laugh or cry

In reference to the title of the thread. Always better to laugh when given the choice.

And believe me, there are a lot worse situations your kid can get himself into at that age. If getting his truck stuck in the mud is the only thing you have to cry over, consider yourself blessed, take off your flip flops, get in the mud and enjoy having a great kid.

Sounds to me like a couple of great country boys. Nothing to worry about.

This! :iagree:

I bought a brand new Toyota straight off lot. Got off work that night, went 4 wheelin', I couldn't see out of the windows on my home!

The part about getting "unstuck" and not going home, that's part of the game. Pull it out and keep on going! :driving:

Sounds like fun to me. We used to say "if you don't get stuck' you ain't 4 wheelin'"!

he needs to understand that a k5 is not a mudder without serious weight loss. Also, I've been in that exact situation quite a few times and hell figure it out soon. Tell him he better get every spec of mud out of the underside of the truck. It will be in hard to get places but it's important unless he wants a rust bucket.

I've got a 90 K5 with a 383.

As a metrosexual who loves city life, hair gel, fine wine, and reading GQ and Esquire magazines, I have have absolutely nothing to contribute to this thread but it does sound delightful.

we can go up the street and get hammered while they get all dirty n'poo in the mud, shoot something with antlers, shoot something aluminum or whatever it is they do out there.... :)

Great story.

And yeah, it could be A LOT worse.

You are not the parent bailing a drunk underage kid out of jail after he T-bones a family of 4 coming home from Xmas shopping, so best to laugh this one off.

Though I'm not happy about the quick turnaround to dick mode.

He should still be calling you mommy and groveling for at least a week, as well as on call for any shitty chore you want done.

this reminds me of all the fun things I did growing up... from yanking stuffed animals across the street at night while hiding in bushes to making homemade napalm or ringing doorbells at 10 or 11 at night..

good times... at everyone else's expense..

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
