Most crushable of the year, sure. Not my whiskey of the year, but not a bad choice. https://www.breakingbourbon.com/article/1-whiskey-of-2025?utm_source=brevo&utm_campaign=Breaking Bourbon Whiskey Wednesday Newsletter - 202551&utm_medium=email

Houston Texans 2025 Season Thread
What are the practice squad rules? Can the Texans sign any DT on a practice squad in the NFL if their current team is unwilling or unable to move them up?!

Very curious. The Brewzle guy has interviewed a couple mom and pop owners and they’ve basically said they’re getting squeezed by the distributors to charge less on anything that isn’t allocated. I remember Old Ezra 7 Rye at $40 was a bottle that was singled out. Methinks he hung up a $130 dollar handwritten sign for Heritage and his Jack guy rapped him on the wrist. That was a cool store. You could routinely find allocated stuff for 125% of MSRP. Of course it went straight to hell after Covid.

That Village location selling anything above Jim Beam at MSRP is quite shocking.

All things SNL
The dorks at the Saturday Night Network podcast have been clamoring for SNL to cast a black female cast member during the winter break. It would kill 3 birds with 1 stone. 1) Sketches with black female characters again 2) Eliminates the need to put Wickline in sketches when they need another warm body 3) Reduces Padilla’s work load. It makes too much sense for them to not do it.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Good: - Durant blocking shots and getting deflections like it’s the 2018 Finals. - Alpie trading blows with the 3 time MVP. - Reed hit a clutch 3 near the end of regulation. Bad: - I hated how they defended Murray. Amen or Okogie needed to be in his pocket all night. You’re going to lose when Murray scores 30+ because Jokic is going to get his regardless. - They missed a few free throws here and there that would have really helped. I understand missing a couple in the bonus, but they have to finish and 1’s if they’re not going to shoot 3’s with anymore of volume. - Turnovers. Denver is a middling defensive team. They have no business forcing 16 turnovers. Durant had 5 and Alpie had 4. I get they initiate the offense and they get trapped on every play. But Okogie had 3. He either needs to tighten that up or they need to bring his minutes way down.

Simmons is on Code Red about the possibility of Texans at Pats in round 1. He reiterated it again on Sunday. He would much rather the Pats play the Chargers. Let’s make that happen for him.

Jones has the ugliest shot I’ve seen in recent memory but he’s nailed 2 daggers.

Thompson needs to be guarding Murray. Fuck this switch everything bullshit.

Why the fuck is Murray shooting the free throw?

Fully prepared to get fucked here.

I think the Nuggets are cool with fooling 17 out if it buys Jokic a few more minutes of rest. They’re a tough out when Murray’s shot is falling.

Eason in street clothes. Shaking my head. Yeah, I’d be fine with letting the glass menagerie walk, and using the boat load of savings to sign Grimes.

1 update on DFS since September has been astonishing to watch.

His handles in transition are G League below average.

Pretty obvious why the Nuggets aren’t playing Cam Johnson more. The guy couldn’t defend a ham sandwich. Okogie looks like shit tonight. A walking turnover.

The next time they sell me a hazmat bottle, it’ll be the first. Glad to get one north of 135 proof. Reviews have great. I’m excited to try it, but it’s probably going to have to wait until January.

Eason hasn’t checked in yet, so I assume he’s not playing tonight.

You could probably tell me into a knock down shooter who plays decent defense with good handles. Needs to be a taller combo guard. At least 6’4’’.

I knew when they said it was a chest injury that he tore a pec. This sucks.
