  1. Three Days of the Condor is another remote drop film for me, along with All the President's Men. RIP, Sundance.
  2. Enchubben sounds EXACTLY like my late FIL. UT grad '66. Enlisted in the Army immediately after graduation, did a tour in Korea as an ambulance driver at a MASH unit. Got out, married, started a family & went to work at his dad's successful RV business in SA. He fucked that up so badly he was passed over by his younger sister's husband to be the GM. So he quit the family business due to the insult & tried selling cars for Benson & McCombs. Couldn't hack that either. So his wife put on the pants & was the breadwinner for the next 25 years while he smoked, drank, & came up with lame ass ideas that never panned out. He had a special hatred for government employees. It severely damaged his relationship with his daughter who's been a gov't employee her entire career (but no the son who was active duty USAF for 25 years). Why did he hate gov't workers so much? It seems he applied for a civil service job in SA in the early 80s & didn't get it. So in his warped mind, the only way a white, male, veteran TexasEx wouldn't be hired is due to minority quotas. I mean, there's no way an alcoholic with no computer skills & a checkered employment history with major gaps wouldn't be a dream candidate for any hiring manager, right?
  3. I'm fully anticipating a Christian Ponder-esque career for McCarthy.
  4. Burrow is quickly heading down the "What Could Have Been" expressway.
  5. Chiefs 0-2. Emergency meeting scheduled for Monday morning in Goodell's office to ensure they aren't in danger of another loss before Thanksgiving.
  6. This Browning kid is throwing it all over the yard in Cincy. Makes up for the boneheaded INT w/ another long bomb to Higgins for a TD.
  7. Rodgers tried to thread the needle in the endzone. INT.
  8. Burrow w/ a left toe injury. How many weeks will that keep him out of the lineup?
  9. Lions just went right down the field on Chicago.
  10. Huh. If true he was hit from 200 yards away than gunny Sgt Hartman approves of the marksman's training & discipline.
  11. As a Vikings fan who gets up at 4AM, my tried & tried formula for prime time viewing worked like a charm: If they're sucking shit through a straw at half, turn it off and get some sleep. If they make a miracle comeback to win you start the day w/ a pleasant surprise & can watch the highlights later. If they're tied or even leading at half, turn it off & get some sleep. That way you don't waste the next few hours anxiously watching them blow it & compound the pain with a lack of sleep & being a grumpy asshole the next day. Next opportunity to use this is Sunday night vs ATL.
  12. There's a Caleb special.
  13. Ready for my Vikes to let me get my hopes up before dashing them into a million pieces sometime around November. Skol.
  14. Legion of Booooooooo....m'kay?
  15. Darnold airs it out!
  16. Johnson bailed Campbell's ass out numerous times when he went full meathead. But if Detroit can't move the ball with the skill players they've got things will turn toxic quick, fast & in a hurry.
  17. Denver D comes up big when needed.
  18. Denver in full FAFO mode.
  19. Purdy with a bad ball over the middle.
  20. ATL has zero idea how to use their skill players.
  21. I get the 2 PT attempt but trying to drop that pass into triple coverage in the corner of the endzone by Fields was the wrong choice.
  22. He doesn't seem to have the desire or aptitude to compete in this new era. OK State has made him a very wealthy man. He should exit stage left & look for a job as a color commentator or studio host. Hell, with some polishing he could make his way up to the Gameday set in 5 years.
  23. Now that what a PF on the punter looks like.
  24. Oopsie, Mateer.
