  1. I’m just glad that they finally did away with the “thing” where a DV plate was allowed to use the spots, without the need for a placard.
  2. I did, and I do not. Doesn’t hold a candle to Narcos.
  3. Right. My point was that the idea proposed was not some novel idea.
  4. Worse than that…courts actually WILL intervene to ban/get rid of products they deem unsafe that have been approved by regulatory agencies. See, for example, the federal courts overturning/fucking with the FDA approval of the “abortion pill”. The revocation of the approval was overturned by the 5th Circuit. It seems like this expected SCOTIS ruling might give the 5th the precedent they need to revisit that issue and rule differently.
  5. It’s worth a read. I didn’t know him that well but any time his name came up, I was always talking about how much a nice/solid guy he was, deserving the success he was achieving. The tributes do a great job of showing how much he meant to people. He had been on a serious health kick over the last several years and was in really good shape, which is the real motherfucker to all of this.
  6. Is this thread really just going to not mention Saltburn?
  7. Lol. Maybe he was just dejected that we lost generally. Maybe he didn’t like the play call. Maybe he didn’t like the OL failure, etc. You have no fucking idea what he is specifically thinking with that reaction.
  8. Re: Colt’s thoughts on that play, how do you know that’s what he was thinking?
  9. Worthy actually was looking back for the ball, but in a totally different area. It was just weird.
  10. You’re confusing two different plays/flags. The “cut block” was the below the waist called on us when we were on D. Replay showed he did not initiate contact below the waist. The block in the back was committed against Watts, but likely after the play was over. In any event, because I’m not sure, can you block in the back at the LOS?
  11. At one point in the 1h. We stopped a guy short. Sideline ref immediately waved the chains ahead. Then when they actually spotted the ball, after the chains had moved, the ball, spotted correctly was at least a foot short.
  12. What’s bizarre is that the flag was for just a run of the mill block in the back. I’m cynical, so my theory is that that official told the others what he flagged, at which point they said, “nope. Couldn’t have been a block because the play was already over”. White hat then says “I guess that settles that then!” * Obligatory disclaimer: The refs did not cost us the game, but that non-call was some fuckery (of the incompetent variety, not some conspiracy/fix).
  13. What was the risk of going for two and losing? Makes no difference to the Lions going forward.
  14. No. Fuck Goff. When he played us in Austin, we had a player go down with a shoulder injury (didn’t play the rest of the season). They stopped play when Hoff was trying to go fast. Goff went off on the ref like a maniac complaining about us “faking an injury”. He should have been flagged, but wasn’t. He’s a Cal cunt just like Rodgers.
  15. Just checking in to this thread for some Christmas discussion, as our 7 month old was the star of the show, even though he has no idea why. He started teething this week, so…yeah.
  16. Another option no one has mentioned ruined is betting UW +4.5. Make some money back if we lose or potentially make money if we win but don’t cover. Obviously without the plus money odds, you have to add a decent chunk more to your hedge stake, but it’s an option, I guess. I crunched numbers for a while and made my best guess. Essentially, I didn’t love the actual seating sections assigned to the RSVP lower level seats (deep endzone corner). I ended up just pulling the trigger on some club level seats in 333 for $2,900 each. I compared that to buying Bama/Michigan rsvp combo and somehow it made sense to just get the tickets, n a better location, IMO, and sit with Texas fans.
  17. How did they catch all of those illegal crossers with the current open borders that we have?
  18. Checking in to note that we just had our first in May 2023. I’m 48. Wife is 42. Doing life backwards I guess.
  19. I just learned two years ago about “luck of the Irish”.
  20. I’m assuming that you are referring to Sugar Bowl tickets. Wrong thread, but cool.
  21. I wonder how it would work to just organize regular trips through Little River-Academy trying to bait people into reporting/suing people. Maybe just shoe polish the car windows to say “New Mexico Abortion or Bust!”?
