  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.
  14. Well, if Ewers can't why should I be able to? I kid. Kind of.
  15. Dare I say Fumblerooski.
  16. I agree. Let's discuss hypothetical's that could happen. What if Sark decides Ol Beantown is the way to go at QB and tells Ewers and Manning to go fuck off and we are going with an unathletic, overweight middle-aged dude who can't throw a ball 20 yards. How would that make everyone feel?
  17. I would be fine with Arch sitting in the pocket next season versus panicking, ducking your head and moving to where the defensive lineman are and sacking yourself or fumbling. Ewers didn't need to be a scrambler. Shit, Dan Marino and Tom Brady couldn't run but they could move around within a pocket and throw the ball. Ewers looked scared out there for much of the time. Appreciate him being a Longhorn but totally glad he is gone. Looking forward to a QB that isn't afraid of his own shadow.
  18. This. If Sark was our OC and we had a different head coach how many would be calling to fire the OC with this ineptitude.
  19. I don't have the numbers, but I am pretty sure when we have a first down play that doesn't gain any yards or loses yards (whether it was a run or a pass), Sark calls a run when it's second and long like 99% of the time. This usually leads to third and long so not a fan of running on second and 10 or second 14.
  20. I am showing 9-11 inches of snow on Thursday with 3 more inches on Friday morning. A foot of snow in DFW would be brutal for days here. Not sure the accumulation would melt (on non highway roads) and they aren’t going to have snow plow trucks clearing all the side streets. Total shit show. I’m supposed to head to Tampa for work on Wednesday but think I may bail as I may not be able to get back.
  21. Totally agree with what has been said. The first time I took the wife and kid to London we did 7 days in London. The British Museum, Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Churchill War Rooms, etc… take days to see and explore. I recommend the British Library also as their “treasure room” had some cool stuff. We also took the train for a day to Stonehenge and Bath. Another day we did Windsor and Windsor Castle. We spent time one day out in Greenwich to see the Royal Observatory and Cutty Sark ship. We didn’t have time to go to Oxford and some other places which just shows there is tons to do just in London and the train rides out side of town. Also, like others have said you do the tourist stuff but you need to spend time roaming the streets, museums, pubs to get a feel for being in London. My wife is one of those plan everything day out fully and it takes away from just enjoying a city so I have had to work to break her from that. Do Paris a different trip as that also can take a week of wandering around Paris and different parts of France.
  22. So is Mike Farrell a dipshit or does he have a clue about football. Listening to him now on the radio and he says Ohio State is far and away the most talented team in college football and should win the rest of their games by double digits easy. Basically he is saying the last two games against Tennessee and Oregon are the real Ohio State and all the other games didn’t matter. He said they were “tight” against Michigan with a bad game plan and that’s why they lost. If they play as good as they can nobody is close to them. I hope our team hears shit like this and comes out with something to prove.
