  1. Played the Ocean course yesterday in Kiawah Island. Been waiting for months for this round and the weather was mid 40’s, 20 mph winds and pouring rain. No refunds so we went out and played. It was pretty miserable even with 4 layers, rain gear, rain gloves, etc…. I think our caddies were wishing we didn’t play. We had fun but it was fucking miserable out there. I was in the sand all day long. Now I want to go back another time and try again with good weather.
  2. Eddie was the comedy highlight for me. That fucker is still funny I guess. Paul McCartney playing Golden Slumbers and the end of Abbey Road was the best part. I haven’t seen any of his concerts but is that something he plays in concert? His voice is shot but still that was awesome to hear it live.
  3. Mid 1970s? You mean they are gonna bring back disco, tie dye and feathered hair? I can dig that actually.
  4. So now that Trump is in charge who gets honored next year at the Kennedy Center lifetime awards? Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and some Christian rock band?
  5. Not sure the stats above really matter as during the first part of Brady's super bowl runs, he was more of a game manager and the defense of the Patriots is what lead them to those Super Bowls. It was around 2006 when Brady started throwing and 2007 when Moss showed up (then later Gronk) that the offense became the center piece of the Patriots, but then the defense actually started to suck. Mahomes is amazing and his best chance in my mind to receive the GOAT talk was to win 3 in a row which Brady didn't do. Then someone could argue a three peat and say 4 or 5 Super Bowl wins is better than Brady's 7. The hard part Mahomes will have is what has been mentioned above about coaching and the team around him. Belichick was younger than Reid when the 20-year run started, so he stayed for the whole thing. Mahomes most likely will get a new coach in another year or so and will he be as good as Reid who is one of the best ever? Will Spags retire at some point and the defense gets worse? The other issue is Belichick as the GM built the team around Brady multiple times. You had an amazing D with Seymour, McGinest, Harrison, Vrabel, Brushi, Law that became a D with totally different players over the years like McCourty, Wilfork, Revis, Gilmore. If you look at the offense it had to be changed over multiple times with different WR's, TE's, RBs, and an offensive line that was always pretty good with different great players over 20 years. The only way Mahomes reaches Tom Brady's 7 is if the GM of the Chiefs does an amazing job and restocks that roster over and over again (which nobody has been able to do except Belichick so far) or he starts to pull a Lebron James and jumps to different teams every few years that are stacked (Similar to what Brady did when he won his 7th and went to a loaded Bucs team).
  6. Hard to go against Jordan or Wilt but since I never watched Wilt play I say Jordan. That being said…. “If I had to choose a player to take a final shot to win a game I’d choose Jordan, but if I could pick one to shoot to save my life I would pick Bird” -Pat Riley
  7. In the words of Anthony Jeselnik, “My uncle runs a summer camp for kids about to be molested”.
  8. you forgot salt
  9. I think it had to do with the music rights NBC bought/didn’t buy, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong. If you are watching on Peacock they have all the music performances until like 1980 I think. They also have the complete episodes in those first 4/5 seasons or so and then it switches to kind of a best of epidsode for everything else and loses the music performances. It sucks because I can’t imagine the great performances from the 80s-90s that are lost forever I am guessing. Would really like to watch Lionel Richie when he sang “Truly” on the Eddie Murphy hosted show in the early 80’s. For some reason that musical appearance is something I remember seeing live and in re runs years ago.
  10. Plus, the $3 for a 10 cent hashbrown and the $4 coffee plus tax means you can get a nice breakfast at McDonalds for $20. Thanks Biden
  11. I am shocked the refs gave a bad spot to the bills on a crucial call.
  12. This shit is too fuckin' big for you all. It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma.
  13. I feel bad for the GM that takes him in the first round. Not sure if you can teach him not to false start.
