  1. You're not totally wrong here, but I think it's the very high talent level and depth plus Self getting the benefit of the doubt on making it all fit together that have people high on Kansas. You can make an argument that this is the most talented team he's ever had. The best perimeter defender in the Big 12 will probably not start and Azibuike is probably the third best big on the roster. The bodies that they're going to be able to hit people with is going to be incredible. If we're looking back at a 9 loss team that gets bounced from the tournament in the round of 16 or something, I think the most likely explanation was that they didn't get enough perimeter shooting...but they should be between above average and elite at everything else. Ceiling is high.
  2. Unload both barrels on Okie Lite.
  3. It's a lot harder to manage the jury when you're the leader of the alliance and you/your showmance are winning every damn HoH. I don't necessarily think Kaycee managed the jury better from a gameplay perspective so much as by good fortune. Either one is a worthy winner, IMO. They've both played very well.
  4. It's nothing like fishing dumbass, but congrats on your freedom.
  5. I really want Baylor to tick down to -7
  6. Limits are lower on mobile, too...if you care/are bumping up against that.
  7. I'm high on Jimmy G, because of the Chiefs secondary...but Fitz. It's possible he's a pretty good quarterback that's always been saddled by having shitty weapons.
  8. This is overstated some. For the vast majority of the game, what he wanted happened to be aligned with what Tyler wanted, so he was “pulling the strings of his big, dumb puppet” without actually doing anything. But some of the times, he got in line when he realized he had no chance (in fairness Tyler did a couple times too when the house had an opinion). He made one move in the game by pulling on jealously strings of a complete idiot, which Scotty confirmed for the idiot...because the worst alliance in the history of B.B. had to make their mark (I guess). And LOTS of comps have nothing to do with strength or size, so the blank until yesterday is big in my view. Even excluding the sexual assualting of Tyler, JC has been an awful player that’s gotten a great edit from production.
  9. It’s been overshadowed by Mahomes, but the Chiefs secondary is brutal..I’d say Jimmy G and it’s not that close.
  10. Cafe Blue is decent enough, but it’s one of those semi-trendy, above averages places that are popping up all over. It should probably be in the Domain. I was there for a friend’s birthday party, it’s cool for that. I wouldn’t do a date night there.
  11. Similar...mine is “it’s a good thing you’re pretty”. I like the edgier implication of how hard life would be if I wasn’t around to do all the thinking.
  12. And a reminder that if you make a girl rich and famous enough, she doesn't even care if you hammer through some strange. I should actually write that down.
  13. If being shot in your living room strips you of your fourth amendment rights, I think doing that shooting should lower the barrier to probable cause. At a minimum. Maybe we could even, I dunno, detain the shooter while we figure it out.
  14. They're are probably starting to dry up, but I got my launch day space gray 256 max at 7 this morning (Verizon).
  15. You asked why they would search her apartment because "the murder didn't happen there". Is that no implicit support of searching the victims apartment? Is his bedroom any more germane to the investigation than her apartment? If it was another black guy that wasn't a cop, do you thing the non crime scene apartment gets some attention? To me, searching the residence of someone that killed another person seems like something worth the time of the police department...you know, just in case.
  16. How does weed in his dresser drawer have any more bearing on a guy getting shot in his apartment?
  17. I just poked around quite a bit on the Apple website. With pickup at the Domain selected, as of 7am most phone size and color combos are still available for Friday if you have Verizon or AT&T, fewer options with the other carriers. I would say generally more phones available than I remember from previous years. Interestingly, the Max seems to have a little more supply than the regular. I wonder if Apple stuffed the channel figuring it would be more popular or if they finally found the general public’s puke point on price. I can’t ever remember the regular being in tighter supply than the plus. The Max screen ultimately reeled me in, so I reserved one for Friday.
  18. 7+ sorry...I mangled the numbering timeline. The flagship phone the year before the X. Were those folks in the IUP program? I still swear those inventories are more generous.

    NFL Week 2

    Saints. Overreaction line...should be easily double digits. Some stray +3s showing up for the Dolphins, so I grabbed it to fade the Jets looking amazing. I’ll probably talk myself into the Giants +3 soon but don’t have it yet.
  20. Two sides to every story, I suppose, but Bell seems to think he’s getting QB money once he’s free of Pittsburgh. He ain’t.
  21. I don’t think either one was luck, I think Apple stocks the channel with IUP specific phones. When I didn’t upgrade to the 8+ right away two years ago, new inventory turned up through the upgrade portal, while being sold out on their site, every morning. It was actually that process which wore me down and had me reserve one. Ever since I’ve had the IUP deal, it’s never occurred to me to battle the masses for a phone in the middle of the night.
  22. Do people on the upgrade program wait up to try to log in at midnight? I did the pre-setup stuff last year a couple days before then logged in mid morning on preorder Friday and reserved a 256G X for the Domain Apple Store and had my choice of launch day pickup times. Edit: Two years ago for an 8+ I waited several days to order and still got one on launch day but had to go to the Barton location to get my size/color/carrier preference.
  23. Who in the hell is pounding Kansas in a road game?
