  1. Maybe now we can rip the Band-Aid off the "DT isn't a political space"? No? I'm shocked.
  2. I quite literally laughed. Fuck you.
  3. Imagine life in prison or even the death penalty for murdering Charlie Fucking Kirk.
  4. That's what I took from it.
  5. By the way, I'm not saying that defensive adjustments to take away more explosive plays don't warrant a reaction in offensive playcalling. I am saying that the optimal adjustment might be minor, and that regardless of defensive tactics long extended drives are potentially to be avoided.
  6. You can say that again and again and again.
  7. Well, you kind of assumed the defenses aren't capable of stopping the explosive plays. I assume the success rate drops as a team tries to move the ball farther per play. Sark is just saying that the math still supports that style of offense as opposed to old school 3 yards and a cloud of dust carcinogenic black pellets.
  8. I went to that first Lollapalooza dour. Dallas stop. You know, the first (second?) stop after NiN dropped out and was replaced by . . . Violent Femmes. Fuck me. (Not that I don't like Violent Femmes, but they weren't exactly a powerhouse of a band.)
  9. Then the math should show a shift towards more productive extended drives, and it apparently isn't, so . . .
  10. Sark literally (literally!) said in a press conference this week that his philosophy is to gain yards on explosive plays because the analyticis show that scoring drops precipitously when an offensive is predicated on long, grind it out drives.
  11. Let's call it good stuff for as long as we can. Joe Ely is probably in my top 5 live performers of all time. He hs been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia. This doesn't end well. Pour one out for Joe:
  12. He's the worst kind of ally. Ignore him. Same shit, different day.
  13. Our conference schedule would be stronger if we didn't have to play A&M.
  14. And they have nowhere near enough dumpsters to handle it all. Both our younger kids rotated out of that area over the last couple of years, as the "condos" are essentially mid-century modern prisons and the flith between buildings is remarkable. It's like parking. They should have enough capacity to handle the trash. They don't.
  15. I really like the band EXCEPT for Tom's "wheedle wheedle" guitar theatrics. But yeah, he's a very smart guy with a strong moral compass.
  16. It's true. I turned onto the west mall just the other day from the drag (excuse me, "Guad") and almost stepped on a still-hot s'more. That place is a hellhole.
  17. They didn't go mainstream and sell out, their debut album rocketed off the charts.
  18. I got stranded at DFW for damn near 24 hours a few years back. Yeah, I tried the airport BBQ. Shouldn't have.
  19. My favorite part of dog stick stories is when they're big enough to carry a stick longer than the entrance door is wide. Gets 'em every time.
  20. Did he make it?
  21. My wife and I got married in late September here in Austin, and the weather was phenomenal. Way more years than not Mother Nature repeats herself. It doesn't need to be in the 60s to be glorious.
  22. Wow, she has a great voice.
  23. Love me some Supertramp. My music geek fans can't understand why I don't like ELO, they see them as similar bands. Supertramp's records sounded SO damn good.
  24. Well, Arch & Wingo need some more time to get on the same page. That will help. Moore & Livingstone round out a nice WR corps along with Endries who appears to be even better than advertised. I'm not so down on the OL as some, and I think a healthy pairing of Baxter and Wisner will make very serviceable if not particularly exciting RB options. Getting Colin Simmons off the brainfart express along with cleaning up a few other dumb mistakes and I think this team is absolutely playoff caliber. Most every team I've seen this year has issues. We are not alone.
  25. Oh no, the man who has enriched his family by billions of dollars this year still owes $83M. How will he afford it?
