  1. Toy factor and table presence are absolutely a thing, but $240-$300 for Catan seems like a lot. For less than that price, you could pick up one of the giant CMON or Awaken Realms Kickstarters that have buckets of plastic and have a game that would more easily justify "event" status, albeit with more rules overhead.
  2. I understand fans feeling like something needs to be done to the defensive scheme, and there does seem to be some low-hanging fruit there. But I'm curious: what would you like changed on offense? It seems like most of the really obvious points we're leaving behind are due to QBs missing wide open passes and WRs dropping them when they do manage to arrive. We can quibble about blocking schemes and rotations, but it's not like this offensive scheme isn't putting players in a position to score.
  3. I'm generally sympathetic to this view, and there have been plenty of coaching fails this season, but the reality is that there's only so much a coach can do in a regulated amount of practice time. Our best teams had enough self motivated/enforcer players to establish a culture that pulled everyone up. You think the same person who sent this video out to his friends for the lolz is doing voluntary workouts and prep work?
  4. I'm willing to discuss licensing it for an exorbitant fee.
  5. Your screen's phone? I can't decide if this email was written by the head aggy milkman or Bill Little.
  6. That video appears to show a ULaLa pimp cane. We're going to win 35-0. It's science.
  7. I can't think of anything more appropriate than this:
  8. For those of you who like social deduction games (Secret Hitler, The Resistance, Avalon, Mafia/Werewolf), Scape Goat is an excellent low player social deduction game that flips the normal hidden role mechanic on its head. It plays extremely well at low player counts that other social deduction games fall apart at, too. And it's like $15-$20. Definite recommendation.
  9. Per multiple sources, Mike knows a lot about defense. If you lock him in a room and tell him to watch film and help with game planning, he's probably got some use other than eating any leftover bags of dicks you have around. He's also a huge bully/coward, so I suspect his raging asshole tendencies tend to come out less around people he considers his peers, and he's got Saban as a moderating influence. In that vacuum, hiring him probably does make a lot of sense to Sark. Unfortunately, Mike is spectacularly bad at literally every other aspect of being a coach, and it doesn't speak super well of Sark that he doesn't realize "knows football" and "good coach" are two different things.
  10. There's a huge difference between bringing Sark - considered a good coach and possibly sober alcoholic - into Bama's established halfway house for wayward coaches as analyst and bringing Stoops - a raging asshole and shitty coach - into a place you're trying to get started off on the right foot as an actual coach. It's particularly troubling if you take into account that he/CDC were told, "Not just no, but fuck no," and tried to do it anyway.
  11. https://www.captiongenerator.com/2107502/SurlyHorns-Reacts-to-the-Coaching-Search Enable subtitles if you're watching embedded.
  12. Learn your zip code and quarterback's full name. You never know when you might need them. Explain to your wife that airplane doors should always remained closed during flight. If a player is shitty at football, it's okay not to play them, even if they're in the schematically appropriate position and seem nice and have tried really hard during practice and are older than their potential replacements.
  13. Fry them. Or if you're looking for something a little less labor intensive and brassica-newbie friendly, I suggest these oven roasted sprouts.
  14. This is such a remarkably shitty take I assume you just forgot to log into your futureman account.

  16. This is a very wholesome post for something that made me think, "Wait, did I click on the Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do thread?"
