  1. DW has great chemistry with WF and they brought out the best of each other. He will definitely be missed.
  2. 10-6 and 11-5 are very doable this year, especially with all of the division games left and Cleveland. But no speedy deep threat is a big concern.
  3. Serious speculation from an NFL doctor the Fuller tore his ACL.
  4. The offense would be a lot better if there was a true RPO, but that's out the window with DW's injuries. If he gets healthy later in the season, the horrific OL won't be nearly as much an issue.
  5. Luc made a big difference also. On talent alone they are a 50-55 win team, but will have a short run in the playoffs.
  6. Coutee is hurt again and will probably sit out Thursday. The receivers and TEs, outside of Hopkins are made out of glass.
  7. Last week's podcast of This American Life was all about coincidences. Some of the stories were fascinating.
  8. I really didn't like this season. It was even more unbelievable than any past season and much less funny.
  9. Davenport is the stupidest O lineman I have ever seen.
  10. Braxton Miller, Stephen Anderson, Trestan Decoud, Nick Rose and David Quisenberry cut.

    Conan

    His only competition for guests in LA is James Corden so he always gets the A-listers first. And Jimmy Kimmel.
  12. Yes, he's not coming to Houston with the opt out. Either LA or SA, depending on Leonard.
  13. If you’re interested in Atmos you will need a 7.2 system. Virtually all new receivers support Atmos. I would run the wiring in case you want to do it later.
  14. No word on their replacements yet.
  15. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mike-leach-spends-fathers-day-arguing-twitter-heavily-edited-barack-obama-conspiracy-video-050851547.html Mike Leach spends Father's Day arguing on Twitter about heavily edited Barack Obama conspiracy video Jack Baer,Dr. Saturday 9 hours ago Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email Mike Leach’s quirky reputation has taken a dark turn. (AP Photo). Mike Leach could have spent his Father’s Day doing so many fun things, like a family dinner or golfing (okay, probably not golfing). Heck, he probably could have just spent the day recruiting like Nick Saban probably did. Instead, Leach honored the occasion by tweeting out a clearly fake video of Barack Obama and spending hours arguing about it with strangers on the internet. The video itself is 19 seconds long and features Obama supposedly discussing an all-powerful sovereign controlling the lives of ordinary citizens. It is painfully, obviously fake. Leach decided to share the video with his 100,000 Twitter followers and ask them to text and tweet their thoughts. Leach got his wish. Mike Leach’s fun day on Twitter Leach’s tweet was swiftly inundated with replies from Twitter users pointing out the video was spliced from portions of a 2014 speech made by Obama to the European Union, not the conspiracy theory-laden Bilderberg Group as the video itself claims. As SB Nation breaks down, the video takes the segment of Obama discussing NATO’s international influence, then splices in the former president’s description of fascism. You can see the quotes from Obama bolded in the official transcript below. Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build. The second part of Leach’s video comes later in the speech. But those ideals have also been tested — here in Europe and around the world. Those ideals have often been threatened by an older, more traditional view of power. This alternative vision argues that ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign. Often, this alternative vision roots itself in the notion that by virtue of race or faith or ethnicity, some are inherently superior to others, and that individual identity must be defined by “us” versus “them,” or that national greatness must flow not by what a people stand for, but by what they are against. In many ways, the history of Europe in the 20th century represented the ongoing clash of these two sets of ideas, both within nations and among nations. Leach replied to one of the many accounts calling him out for sharing the fake video and asked for proof. Once Leach was given proof that his video’s content was false, he decided to question the whole idea of something being “false” and invoked the name of President Donald Trump. All told, Leach asked Twitter users to “prove it” nine different times (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) as he continued to march through the internet battlegrounds, conveniently missing the many people trying to provide him with proof the video he shared was fake. At one point, Leach asked a Twitter user a point-blank question that essentially summed up the whole exercise: “What’s a fact?” Mike Leach’s personality meets his politics Leach has always enjoyed a reputation as one of the quirkiest minds in college football. That is buoyed by the success of his Air Raid offense in a sport that loves its odd-duck personalities, even if they have a skeleton or two in their closet. However, that reputation takes a sinister turn with Leach tweeting out a video like this. This is not quirky. This is not provocative. We shouldn’t laugh at this like “The pirate is swinging his sword again!” This is at best an extraordinarily misguided attempt from Leach to gauge the ideas of his followers and at worst an attempt to smear Obama by sharing a video designed to mislead. While tweeting from a position of power as the highest paid public employee in the state of Washington, Leach hides behind the shield of claiming to just want an “open discussion,” but starts it with a completely false premise. It’s a vastly disappointing decision from a 57-year-old man who should know better.
  16. Went to the Big Apple BBQ Festival in NYC this weekend. Salt Lick was there--not too good, but there were really good and different ribs from a place in Illinois and the best thing all weekend was a pulled pork sandwich from Bob Gibson's from Alabama. All in all, a nice fun time.
  17. It’s a beautiful day here in NYC and I’m really looking forward to going to the track. It should be a lot of fun.
  18. Practicing for Jews?
  19. A teenage girl learning to drive in the parking lot of a shopping center in Philadelphia struck and killed two men on Monday, officials said. Philadelphia Police told FOX29 the crash happened around 9 p.m. at a shopping center in the city's Port Richmond neighborhood. The teenager was driving with her mother and two others the SUV when she struck the two men outside a Dollar Tree store. "She was navigating into a parking spot and made a mistake," Philadelphia Police Captain Mark Overswise told WPVI. "The vehicle lunged forward striking two men who were seated at the wall of the Dollar [Tree] store." Authorities said a 50-year-old man died at the scene after getting hit by the SUV, and that a second 50-year-old man died after being transported to the hospital. The crash remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed as of Tuesday afternoon, according to FOX29. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/05/teen-girl-learning-to-drive-kills-2-men-in-pennsylvania-parking-lot-police-say.html
  20. My friend and I are going to the Belmont. Any helpful hints from anyone who’s been to the track or the race? TIA.
  21. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article211164094.html Seven small dogs — all with legs shorter than an adult's hand — mauled an Oklahoma woman to death while she was outside of her home last week. Tracy Garcia, 52, of Ardmore, was attacked by her neighbor's dogs on Thursday and died from her injuries, KTEN reported. One of the seven dogs was shot after charging at a deputy who was responding to the attack, KXII reported. The other six dogs were taken to Westwood Veterinary Hospital, where they were euthanized at the owners request. Shelter co-director Tena Layton told The Daily Ardmoreite that six of the dogs were about one year old, and the seventh one — about three years old — was possibly the pack's mother. Read more here: htt:/www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article211164094.html#storylink=cpy "A predominant breed in these dogs is definitely standard dachshund," Dinwiddie told the TV station. "They have really noticeable characteristics like their knobby legs, knees, very short legged dogs and their coats." She said all of the dogs were less than 40 pounds each. None of the dogs had legs longer than an adult’s hand, The Daily Ardmoreite reported based off of photos kept by the shelter. It is unclear what led to the attack, The Associated Press reported, and the investigation is ongoing. The dogs were infested with fleas and ticks, according to media reports. There were no other visible health concerns. "We were cleaning ticks off ourselves all day," Dinwiddie told KXII. "They are very covered, you can tell they have been living out in the woods." The dogs were not tested for rabies, and there are no plans to run those tests. "If there was any possible issue of them biting someone else then it would've been (done)," Dinwiddle told KXII, "but the dogs are deceased as well as the victim so there's just no reason to go spend the thousands and thousands of dollars." No arrests have been made.
  22. The average window replacement cost is $300-500 per window based on the quotes we got. The cost wasn’t worth the energy savings for us for 33 windows.
