  1. I like having Jank on the staff. In case of emergency, break glass and toss him in the microwave for a few seconds and he could probably get a clutch hit or great defensive play once in a while. And having ANY new third base coach is probably addition by subtraction.
  2. I rarely record anything, but there is also a very cheap plastic box by Mediasonic Homeworx with a built in tuner and recorder, you can program it, and I think you can even replay while it is recording, but I don't do that. It's like $40. Gotta be careful not to drop it and break it, but it sure AF works great if you're a cheapass like me.
  3. Antennas can be really funny. That one I put up recently also had a hard time picking up the ABC channel. I was pointing it and communicating with the viewer inside looking at the TV, couldn't get it dialed in. One would think that pointing it in the direction of the station would be the trick, and away from any major obstacles. But then while I was holding it up, I just laid it on the ground to take a piss, and they said "that's perfect!" So I just left it there and forgot bout it while we watched the game. It laid there for a couple of weeks until I went back again later to put it up on the short pole it had been on, it was shitty again. I ended up pointing it right at the wall of the house which would be well east of the target and it came in perfectly.
  4. Ugly people can't catch a break. The more famous and better looking actors even get most of the best the animated roles.
  5. They've been doing that for ages, ain't nothin' new. Hot actresses do that to try to prove they can act, when most of the acting is the makeup, but they get rave reviews and rewards for sacrificing their beauty. See Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron, for example. Hollywood has always been bullshit.
  6. I still have my old 8-foot c-band dish outside. I'm almost ready to investigate what I can get on that thing after all these years. Probably zipola, but I hate the whole streaming multiple parties model, and my internet here is shit.
  7. Used to be able to get a signal amplifier for about $30 that helped with weaker signals. But they are getting hard to find at a reasonable price and find one that actually works. You can try hooking up a second antenna aimed the other way and Y them together. The little plastic cover ones you can sometimes find in stores tend to be total crapola.
  8. LOL Great game management. Total shitshow of a game allowed me to salvage a fantasy win in which Bo Nix and Brock Bowers combined for 9 fantasy points,
  9. They could have almost punted it straight up in the air to hang for 10 seconds out of the end zone and it's basically over.
  10. fecals coach went full retard.
  11. Cool. Been a long time coming.
  12. This NFL week is ending like it started.
  13. I like it this way. I'm holding on to a narrow lead in fantasy.
  14. Hurts was extremely lucky on that last possession.
  15. Nice! I keep saying I'm gonna build one for years, but been to lazy. Couldn't build it much cheaper for those prices. I may have to get one of those.
  16. I said for years that Darnold was a good qb waiting for a team that wasn't a total dumpsterfire situation to work with. His first two stops, which weren't his choice, were about as bad as it gets. Lots of potentially good qbs get ruined that way. Also see Baker Mayfield.
  17. Right. It's the same cable used for DirecTV and such. Just find the other end and bypass the junk, hook up the antenna to the end of it. I hooked one up like that for a friend of mine about a month ago. Got a GE like this, about $40 at Amazon or Wal Mart, sometimes in store. I use the same model out in my barn room. v
  18. Some people already have antenna cables running through their house from ages ago and don't even realize it. It still works if it ain't broke somewhere.
  19. Dicker the Doinker.
  20. When I watch a game on DirecTV that I'm actually interested in on local channels, always have a second TV with the OTA feed. OTA is about 15 seconds ahead, so you can watch the play, then watch it again on the other screen instantly. It really is a great way to absorb the game and see and process everything. Watch a play, then watch it develop after seeing the result, you can really see a lot more about what went on. Great for football junkies.
  21. Awesome DIY rig. OTA should become everyone's starting point before lubing up for streaming crap.
  22. I'm old enough to remember when ESPN was the best thing on cable TV since scrambled porn. Now, the world will be a much better place when people stop watching them ruin sports and just let them crater into the abyss under the weight of their own arrogance.
  23. Underrated cats, right there.
  24. Bye week, yet we have something to hate for. Fudgepack vs fecals, who to root against more? Gotta go with potential help getting the fudge draft pick a bit earlier. By the way i bowled a 216 last night in Marshawn's honor, my best game yet. What did you worthless motherfuckers do for humanity? Anyway, hope that changes the discussion a bit. I will accept all hatred in order to get that done. You're welcome, sports fans.
