  1. They come from PSA with Magpul furniture. He replaced that with AKM/74 furniture. They look pretty slick in the Magpul config IMO. They have black, gray, FDE and OG color options.
  2. I got a PSA AK V recently. Similar to an AK but not gas operated, in 9mm. Based on a Russian sub gun which shares a lot of parts with the AK74. They make a few configurations, mine has magpul furniture in FDE. All of them have a rail on the dust cover. It shares mags with the Scorpion, which is nice because they are cheap; And its a cheaper gun to get into at around $760. Early models had some problems but they made some tweaks to the design and reliability has gone way up. I have shot a few hundred rounds of various loads and only had one malfunction. I did not clean the gun initially and they tell you to, so may have been that. Was the 5th round of the first mag. AKOU in the middle of a 5K round test now here is the latest at 2K
  3. He has a two hours and change podcast interview with Clay Travis released today. I have not listened to it. It's under Outkick the Coverage and Wins and Losses, however you get your pods.
  4. Yeah I am super hyped for this and a couple weeks back didn't even know it was a thing. This is supposed to be a Stadia launch title right? So that would mean its going to be out by November of this year?
  5. The thing I can't square though...the way he acted with respect to his injury is so out of character for him before or since. He was a quiet grinder who seemed all about the game. His team mates seem to love him. His opponents respect him. The whole dog and pony show from him, or by proxy through his people, seemed unnecessary and counter productive for him from a financial and reputation basis. The way he handled the situation still does not make sense to me. I guess the only situation I can see him doing what he did making sense for him was that if the Spurs told him they were not going to give him the 5 year deal and then his people were just in his ear about that and every other perceived slight that he said fuck it, I want out. Hard to imagine the Spurs taking that deal off the table though as he'd still be in his prime at the end of it.
  6. Raptors shot 50/40/90 as a team last night. I wonder how often that happens in the Finals?
  7. My wife watches tons of Bravo shit. This is the only show there I watch with her. I think its hilarious. Last two seasons have dropped off a lot though in terms of the get the popcorn factor. They are less fun the older they get. Jax does not deserve Brittany. James Kennedy is a huge douche and should have had ass kicked about 100 times more than he did growing up.
  8. When UH games were played at the Dome they sold beer. This was 25+ years ago, not sure what year it started, but they definitely did in the 90s.
  9. Yeah it's really killed most of my interest in the NBA. I am not sure I have watched a complete regular season game in the past two years. In retrospect, its amazing the Cavs took that series from them. They should be working on their 5th straight title. Hopefully Durant leaves after this year...even then they are going to be formidable if they can somehow keep their best 4 on the roster and healthy.
  10. It is shocking to me how badly these guys, D&D, are shitting the bed. I went from "This is my favorite show of all time I can barely stand the wait between the end of season 7 to the start of season 8" to thinking these dudes should not work in the industry again in the span of a month. Some of the shit in 8.3 and 8.4 are just so unbelievably stupid its hard to see how they made it into a draft let alone to the fucking screen. HBO should redo the final season. I never thought I'd say this, considering book 5 came out during the first season of the show and we're still waiting on book 6, but maybe this shit show will finally light a fire under GRRM and he'll get another book out before he dies. I mean this 100%, I'm convinced they could have crowdsourced a far smarter and satisfying final season from hipster dorks on Reddit than what they are putting out so far.
  11. Haven't listened but I see this kid was on the 2nd hour of DP Show today.
  12. I ordered one of these based on the recs in this thread. I also appreciated the actual color vs the first pic of it posted here. I was a little worried it was going to be closer to Tennessee orange than Texas. I love the open assist. I am not a huge knife guy so I had not seen that before and it took me a few days to figure out what that was. I wish the blade was a little larger but I have taken to carrying this vs my other knives most of the time.
  13. So I think Arya/Dany/Jon/Hound for sure survive Ep 3. I think Theon is 100% a goner. Not super confident in any other predictions but I think one of Brienne or Jaime dies and likely Beric (probably saving the Hound). I am going to be really bummed when this show ends.
  14. The dragonriding get away was the weakest part of the episode. GOT meets the Bachelorette, the tone of the scene had no place in the episode given what is at stake. Also if you're going to do that, if you must include it...where is the sex? Not that anyone should be watching the show for sex or nudity given the Internet but I mean, come on. Middle of nowhere next to a sweet waterfall, new relationship...they would have banged one out for sure. Aside from that I thought everything else was...necessary. I really wonder why the last two seasons got cut down so much. They are leaving so many potentially great extended scenes completely to the imagination. I was disappointed in the time they devoted to Arya's reunions with Jon and, especially, the Hound. He's clearly been off her list for a while. Regarding what she was requesting from Gendry...there are stills out there and the diagram is very simplistic. It shows a shaft and a detached spear point labeled dragonglass with an arrow pointing toward the shaft indicating it is supposed to attach...but I think that its perhaps going to detach, as in be some kind of spring loaded point to be used in case of an emergency. Like when you need to kill an undead dragon maybe. I expect next week to be more well received as more shit will happen. If the WW storyline is resolved completely after episode 3 that will surprise me. The 20-21 months or so between S7 and S8 were brutal. I am going to miss the shit out of this show in a way that I have never missed any other show that ended.
  15. This. Second price hike in 13 months and both were after licensing more channels. I am not sure what they are thinking here. Depending on whether or not you had the pre March 13 2018 $35/month price or the post $40/month price your rate is going up either 43 or 25 percent. That is pretty steep when most people probably don't give much of a shit about what they are adding or else they would have been on another provider that offered what they were missing. This will definitely cost them business and I would not be surprised to see them dial it back some. $5 is one thing, $15 is the cost of a Netflix sub. All that said, for me, its still competitively priced with the market and for what I want from it, but for the same price I can move to PS VUE and get LHN. So that is what I am going to do. I am sure plenty of people that don't watch a ton of sports will move to Sling TV or Philo or one of the other cheaper offerings.
  16. Yeah that music in that opening 9 minutes or so is amazing. It is called Light of the Seven.
  17. This was not an alt-NFL though. This was deliberately set up to be a developmental league to the NFL, to not compete with the NFL. They were on the NFL Network, that would not have happened if the NFL felt like they were a competitor in the least. It was 12 weeks of football in the Spring and it was very well received ratings wise. They beat an NBA primetime game with MVP level talent to debut and they beat NHL and golf on the weekend late in the season. I think they thought the NFL would buy them out eventually. What is shocking to me is that they got something this big off the ground with only two weeks worth of runway. That is an insanely shitty business plan.
  18. So California being able to buy standard capacity mags did not last long. Ends today at 5p. The stay was issued by the same court and judge who ruled in favor of the plaintiffs last Friday? What a clown show. I wonder how many mags were ordered to California in a week?
  19. I'll be shocked if Martin ever finishes the books. He is old, fat and probably has never seen the inside of a gym and the gap between books is getting longer and longer. I think we'll see book 6 from him but then some other writer will be brought in to finish book 7 with his notes in like 2030. As for how the show ends...I will be stunned if the Night King or Cersei wins. I think we are going to see the 'good' guys win but with heavy casualties. Arya better not die.
  20. I ended up just returning the Taurus 905. Did not want to mess with it and really who needs a revolver chambered in 9mm? Not me. I took the plunge on my first NFA items, a couple of Griffin suppressors from Silencer Shop. I went with the single shot trust option on both of them. Had to go down the road to get finger printed at one of their kiosks, that was the only pain in the ass part. I could not get the rolled fingerprints to scan 'good' to save my life. Had to do my left thumb like 25 times. It's annoying having to jump through all of these hoops for a suppressor.
  21. Bellagio running a GOT show twice a night for two weeks leading up to April 14. Looks pretty badass.
  22. I think outside of the cities that host the two MLB teams and three NBA teams, yeah HS football is more popular in Texas than the MLB and NBA. I mean obviously in terms of TV ratings there is no comparison, but just in terms of what the average household cares about more or would watch given a choice between all three. Not really a hill I am willing to die on though, I said 'in the running' in my first post. My point was just that football is so clearly the most popular US sport that it was/is surprising to me there has not been a successful Spring league.
  23. The quality of play/player is pretty good outside of QB. I don't think this league will fail. I do think they should try and partner or merge with the XFL. I am not sure why the AAF and XFL would want to compete with each other. It's crazy that until now there has been no Spring football. The NFL has been the most popular sports league in the US going on almost 6 decades now and its only playing meaningful games 5 months out of 12. FBS runs along side it and is the second most popular sports 'league'. I mean shit, in Texas high school football is in the running in terms of popularity with non-football pro leagues like MLB, NBA, NHL, etc. There is definitely room for meaningful football during Feb-August. In San Antonio the Commanders are getting more and more attendance with each game and the fans seem pretty into it.
  24. His opting out was largely symbolic, wasn't it? As in, had he opted in the 49ers could have cut him before a specific date to avoid paying him for the year.
  25. So did anyone think after watching the morning after scene with Colton and Taysha (don't know how to spell her name) that maybe he got a BJ? There was definitely some nut related innuendo in their convo about the food they were eating. Paradise is the best Bachelor formula IMO. It is far more enjoyable than the other three Bachelor franchises (that I know of) put together. The season with Chad the roid raging realtor from Oklahoma was gold.
