  1. Was looking at getting rid of my Tesla for something not Tesla but now I guess I have to pay more to do that. Pisses me off.
  2. Why not just get Joe Mazzulla to coach and Brad Stevens can be his “GM”? They seem gettable with that struggling Celtics team.
  3. Terry is a really nice guy and a very good assistant coach but as a head coach he can’t build a roster and sucks as a game day coach. Don’t let the door knob hit your ass on the way out.
  4. So, just saw the below on NBC news. Is this normal? Seems like something Putin would want but not in America’s best interest. Go figure. Trump admin considers giving up NATO command that has been exclusively American since Eisenhower
  5. So basically, when Trump is done tariffing every item and country on the planet, all trade with other countries will slowly cease and we will only be able to purchase items from the US which will be more expensive than we are used to since US companies won’t be able to sell their products worldwide? Seems like a genius plan.
  6. So I drive a Tesla Model S that is now 4 years old and out of warranty. Thinking of getting rid of it and getting another EV but not Tesla. Anybody have any thoughts on Lucid? I want a sedan (no truck or SUV's since the wife has the SUV for the family). I charge at home and rarely ever go on road trips. As an example, my Model S has 25K miles after 4 years.
  7. Thanks Biden
  8. Tesla liberal here but my wife really wants me to get rid of it based on the politics of Elon and not the car. Been looking at Lucid's way too much the last week.
  9. A real man eats the biscuits and gravy with a side of pancakes/waffles and maple syrup. Not the real maple syrup but the high fructose corn syrup maple flavored syrup because it tastes better! Oh, and don't forget the sausage and bacon on the sides. I would have said eggs also but I would have to take out a second mortgage on my house to be able to afford eggs at this point.
  10. Look at the positives. With Canada our 51st state I can finally buy property in Banff without being a Canadian citizen. Then again, with Banff being part of the US we will probably turn it into Branson north and destroy why it's so great. Then again, maple syrup may be cheaper in the future. See, think positive!
  11. So how long until Trump announces we are going to sell Alaska to Russia for a million dollars and half the country cheers this on?
  12. It's almost like something like this scenario would greatly help Putin. America destroying itself from within and with its allies. What a coincidence.
  13. Fixed that for you. Oh and about the Ukraine thing, I am guessing if Putin told Trump to attack Ukraine with missiles and drone strikes it would happen immediately and the Republican politicians would explain what a great move it is by Trump.
  14. You sound like James Carville. I think he said the below a week ago. Renowned Democratic strategist James Carville has delivered a stunning prediction that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble within four to six weeks. Carville, 80, on Friday urged his fellow Democrats to play “possum,” stay out of the way and let Republicans implode as President Trump plows ahead with his dramatic overhaul of the federal government. “What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” Carville mused to Mediaite founder Dan Abrams.
  15. Also, this is all an act for his base. Trump wants an excuse to pull all help for Ukraine to let Putin take it over. Hell, he will do the same to the rest of Europe if Putin asks.
  16. Listening to it now. How anyone can listen to Trump and think this asshat deserves to lead this country is an idiot. Trump getting angry is laughable. He is so in the pocket of Putin it’s obvious.
  17. The problem I see with your example is that both Trump and the American Right are huge steaming piles of shit. No flies whatsoever.
  18. This right here. I would like a summer townhouse/condo in the Pacific Northwest in the Seattle area and if things go bad and I have the cash I won’t feel bad if I steal a home up there if things really go to shit in the economy. Then again, hopefully I don’t lose my job.
  19. Wife and I never watched succession and are binging it now and your reference was the episode we watched last night.
  20. What the hell you got against The Big Ragu!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Mid 1970s? You mean they are gonna bring back disco, tie dye and feathered hair? I can dig that actually.
  24. 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?
  25. 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).
