  1. Was I the only one that yelled at the tv, “Steve, let your nuts hang!”
  2. You are right on both points. There were 6 fumbles in the game. KSU recovered 5 of them. All football data ever proves that fumble recovery is plain luck. At least we came up aces on the 6th one.
  3. You may be on to something. In fact, I would almost prefer that explanation to the alternative. Which is that everyone in the stadium (and me at home) knew what plays he was running. The two 3rd down run calls are inexcusable. There were 9 in the box. They are selling out. Just throw a play action pass to Sanders!
  4. I think Scipio could carry a 30-45 minute pod, for sure. His 2 hour pods with Randy are only that long because Randy rambles and interrupts and takes 3 minutes to articulate the most mundane thoughts.
  5. You absolutely nailed it. For some reason Boone thinks every single thought must be uttered. Why can’t Paul find someone with chemistry? Ian Boyd was worse than Boone and Kevin Dunn literally does not have a sense of humor.
  6. Never had Culture Coffee. But if there’s a better cookie than Levain makes, then I’m all in to try it. Because Levain is eyes-roll-back-in-your-head good.
  7. My taste (and means) is not as high as other folks on this thread, though I would like to go to many of the places mentioned. We just got back from a 3 night stay. For some low key non-tasting-menu kind of places. These aren’t hidden gems or anything but they are great at what they do: I am a big fan of Sadelle’s for bagels and lox or other brunch fare. Make your reservation now. Laid back place, might catch a celeb keeping it casual. My favorite neighborhood just to walk around in, is Greenwich/West Village. I recommend Mary’s Fish Camp for the lobster roll (but other seafood is good too) for lunch. No reservations required, nice and laid back but not a dive at all. Hit it on your way back from seeing the Statue of Liberty. Several folks have mentioned Los Tacos No. 1, and it lives up to the hype. Specifically the pastor taco…it is a game changer. Best taco I’ve ever had. There’s a location in Midtown and in Chelsea Market, and a few others I believe. I liked Mimi Chengs for dumplings—you can hit the UWS location before walking in Central Park or the LES location if you’re in the neighborhood. The best cookies in the world are at Levain bakery, several locations. (But there other stuff has been only okay for me.) Oh yeah, I think it was spanky who recommended Beauty & Essex. Cool atmosphere, good food with playful menu. You’ll need reservations but it is NOT stuffy. Actually have to walk through a pawn shop storefront to enter. I also would recommend Top of the Rock I’m assuming it will be freezing cold but the views are great and it’s totally a “first time in NYC” thing. And if you want out of the cold, MoMA and The Met are beloved museums for a reason. Worth a couple hours for sure. Anyway, those places might be called “basic” or whatever but I’ve enjoyed them on my few trips. Have a great time, man. You’ll love it, I’m betting.
  8. There is basically one play we run that is the foundation of the play action game, it’s the layered concept to one side of the field where the outside receiver runs a go, number two runs a rail, number three runs a little flat route. But Sark has designed it from 100 different formations and 100 different personnel groups. I mean, Helm converted a 3rd down on it yesterday. It’s genius in its simplicity made to look complex.
  9. Go watch Christian Jones on the TD run by Brooks. Dude manhandles TWO defenders. His run blocking is a legit positive.
  10. Great meeting you and your wife as well. And that was an outstanding meal, lived up to the hype.
  11. Wouldn’t lie about food. Do I need to change my reservation? Can Red Rooster handle that much Surly?
  12. Any recs for Saturday morning activity when it’s raining? Forecast is 100% rain this Saturday…we are Red Rooster at 11 but were hoping to take a walk through Central Park prior. That’s likely out. The Met and Natural History open at 10 so not enough time to enjoy them before Red Rooster.
  13. Thanks to both, booked Carmel, looking forward to the visit. Appreciate the tip.
  14. Anybody got a car service you recommend? I could Google but just thought I’d ask.
  15. Reminds of me when Andy told Ron Swanson they should get some burritos: “I don’t much go for ethnic food.”
  16. Bullet Bob Hayes was my first pro autograph as a kid. Nice guy, friendly to a 10 yr old at a lame card show. (Nobody asked, but My 3rd autograph was Danny Darwin of Fannin County fame. Hard to imagine a bigger gap of excellence.)
  17. The Bullet himself is the correct answer
  18. Need some advice: Wife and I are arriving at EWR at 11pm. Staying right next to Penn Station in NYC—is there any issue with taking the AirTrain that late? Preliminary Google search shows ~30 min trip. Seems fine, but I’ve always taken a cab from JFK/LGA.
  19. They make it way harder than it needs to be. Like they don’t even tell us the distance on punts or other info on personnel, stats, etc. Last night saw a rough start for Acho. It initially sounded like a parody…he literally said “Louisiana Monroe runs a zone read offense, so we’re gonna see a lot of zones and a lot of reads.” He settled in to typical banality which is at least not detracting from the game watching experience.
  20. As someone who has had the pleasure of eating CFS at both Cheever’s and Jimmy’s Roundup, I can confirm that both are A+. However, there is a difference between the two. Cheever’s will likely require reservations for dinner. Jimmy’s…well…it will not require reservations. For that matter, Jimmy’s may not even require shoes. But the CFS (and the rest of the menu) slams, goes hard, ad infinitum, etc.
  21. I think it’s entirely plausible that this is the first and only incident of this kind (no sarcasm) from Gundy and that it happened exactly as he described. There is exactly one verboten word in our culture, and everyone knows exactly what it is. We can discuss the merit of “cancelling” somebody because of this kind of singular transgression, but not saying this word is an absolute. A not insignificant number of the young men he coaches and recruits would never take a word he said seriously in the future.
  22. Strooooong page going here. I just gained 7 lbs looking at it. Carry on.
  23. Wait-A-Burger I mean, I still crush WB as much as my arteries allow. But yeah.
