  1. Who was the Texans QB a while back, Carr or something like that? That dude spent his entire career in Houston eating turf. David Carr.
  2. Close this fucker out tonight and get Roope all the rest & therapy he needs.
  3. 'Course I left out the Panhandle, and a lot of people do. But Carthage ... '
  4. Not sure that's a great example. Aikman was a tackling dummy his first couple of years in the league. They were teeing off, and they were allowed to absolutely punish the QB back then in ways that would never fly now. I've never seen a QB take a worse beating for so long. The OL didn't get good until later. He took 58 sacks and a helluva lot more hits those first two years, in just 26 games played, while the team went 8-24.
  5. LOL, like when Scherzer did it last year? Ronel got 'caught' the same way Max got 'caught' last year and others have been 'caught' since MLB went to this super-precise method of enforcement. Rosin is legal on the pitching hand but not on the glove hand. It's an idiotic rule that's enforced based on the umpire sticking his finger in a glove and judging between not sticky, a little sticky, sticky, stickier, real got damn sticky, and the stickiest I evarrr seen. Very scientific. It was stupid then, and it's stupid now. Fucking MLB brass could fuck up a wet dream.
  6. Being only 5.5 back after this start is just insane.
  7. This is a year old, but it might as well have been written tonight, replacing Max Scherzer's name with Ronel Blanco's. Apparently what had been legal for the whole game suddenly became illegal based on an Ump's judgement of level of stickiness. So fucking stupid. There were already problems with this enforcement for years, and it's still a complete shitshow. Major League Baseball has a sticky stuff enforcement problem Max Scherzer's ejection highlighted the inconsistencies in MLB's regulation of pitchers' use of grip-enhancing substances https://sports.yahoo.com/major-league-baseball-has-a-sticky-stuff-enforcement-problem-041733758.html
  8. I mean, that's a given! But why is it legal on the throwing hand but not on the glove hand? That just makes no sense at all.
  9. So, rosin mixed with sweat inside his glove? I had no idea rosin is illegal on the non-throwing hand. Why is that illegal?
  10. Yeah I thought she did as well as anyone could expect her to do. It's not an easy job. Good for her.
  11. Unfortunately for Spaghetti, you need 3 outs to get out of an inning. Seems like it's always like this with him. Gets 2 and then takes a little vacation or something.
  12. Haha fuck you Stripling. Bitch.
  13. This just in: Play-by-play is is hard af.
  14. I saw another wrapped CT at the Slaughter Lane HEB yesterday (it was open). The color of the wrap? Yeah ... flat gray. You can't make this shit up. In other news ... nsiap. Musk's SpaceX is quick to build in Texas, slow to pay its bills https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/musks-spacex-is-quick-build-texas-slow-pay-its-bills-2024-05-13/
  15. Yeah he really got excited about that. Very professional.
  16. Yeah I gotta disagree with that move. But who knows ...
  17. ... and NeweyVision.
  18. It's ALL about the money they think they'll lose by letting Andretti in. 100%. Every single excuse of the many you've heard from them or FOM is pure, fabricated, easily debunked, laughable nonsense that reads like something a 1st grader came up with. Remember when the college football bowl games fought tooth and nail against any kind of playoff system because they wanted to be in control of the money that was made, even though they stood to make a lot more money by participating in a playoff? This reminds me a lot of that.
  19. Yep. It's terrible and wasn't even really a thing when I started watching F1, or at least you didn't see it much. It drives me fucking crazy. Some drivers railed against it for years. Alonso, mostly. But people wouldn't stop doing it and there were rarely penalties or even investigations for it, and as we got more paved runoffs it became more and more prevalent.
  20. GM issue battle cry in Andretti F1 bid after 'outpouring' of support F1 has stirred a hornet's nest inside GM as it 'will not let Andretti fail' with its bid to get on the grid. How long will the fight continue? https://racingnews365.com/gm-issue-battle-cry-in-andretti-f1-bid-after-outpouring-of-support
