  1. Headed to Seattle in the middle of March to visit my son, who moved there a few months ago. I've been to Seattle many times but have done very little touristy stuff. We are staying at the Mayflower Park hotel and won't have a car. I read through the thread to get a feel for restaurants and activities. Appreciate people posting their recommendations and experiences. We will probably be visiting the area often and will do the national parks, Victoria, San Juan islands, etc on future trips. This one is pretty much focused on just Seattle. We are there for about 3-4 days.
  2. When you think about performance vs expectations, it really leans toward QB or RB. Given that, Simms and Gray are the two biggest disappointments.
  3. The Malcolm Brown pick is a little unfair. He just played for shitty Texas offensive lines. He played six years in the nfl and had a few productive years.
  4. So does Texas win it all with Cam Ward instead of Quinn Ewers? The cousin of Quentin Jammer and Quandre Diggs. What could have been? https://sportstalk.substack.com/p/cameron-ward-miami-2025-nfl-draft
  5. Simmons is right now almost a carbon copy of Micah Parsons. He’s been incredible. Once in the NFL, whoever drafts him has to understand how to use him effectively. Micah and Simmons are both 6-3 245. Maybe Simmons grows some, which would solidify him on the Edge position and less in LB coverage. At various points Dallas has struggled a bit with how to best use Parsons. In coverage too much and he can’t keep up with speedy receivers on cross routes. But if you line him up every play on the edge to stop the run, he sometimes wears down because he’s not quite big or heavy enough to go toe to toe for four quarters with a huge OT or TE. So Dallas will move him around and let him wreak havoc. They will need to do the same with Simmons if he doesn’t grow 2” and 25+ pounds. Either way, he’s a unique highly coveted nfl quality talent.
  6. Clinton was a more centrist candidate. And being tough on crime can be appealing to centrists. Just because a person supports being tough on crime does not mean a person is racist. The bolder portion of your post is horseshit. Your perspective on that past period and the Biden election is a very biased perspective that simply isn’t fully factual.
  7. That show, especially the dad, always creeped me out.
  8. I have been slowly preparing for the inevitable raping of the sports media consumer for several years. I’ve managed to move the Cowboys to the who gives a shit pile, along with the Mavericks. The Rangers and Astros are teetering. The Dallas Stars are safe for now. College football is still a tough give up but a few more egregious price hikes by the streaming services and we will join our kids and subscribe to nothing.
  9. So Im definitely going to toss out the precise calculations performed by the world’s most esteemed scientists who say there is a 2% chance of the event, and instead bet on some amateur bull crap based on your college astrology class and declaration that the chances are infinitesimal.
  10. Sounds like you’ve never watched Blades of Glory
  11. I’m just amazed someone is so dumb they can’t see that Choice was an extremely good and important coach, and RB coach in particular. It truly is mind-bottling stupidity.
  12. Including being bribed by the Mexican cartels.
  13. They want to wait an extra year so that the Chris Beard Redemption Tour is far enough along to rehire him!
  14. Ah got it. Lazy Austin reporting.
  15. Texas sets NFL record by having 14 players invited to the combine. That is both awesome and frustrating at the same time. How the heck did this team not win it all.
  16. And there it is. Rocketing to the top of the list for the dumbest post of 2025 so far. I’m sure it will be surpassed eventually, because the poster will continue posting.
  17. Damn I need to take social security early.
  18. "Obviously, [Lakers general manager] Rob Pelinka even said it in his press conference introducing Luka, that it was a gift. And I think that's how a lot of my colleagues — don't want to speak for them — but how we all kind of felt.”
  19. Of course. And it includes CBS. With the Super Bowl and college football over I was just about to finally switch over to YTTV. Look for me to finally cut the cord at the next millennium.
  20. When the wife wanted a February wedding, I said fine but that means we never celebrate Valentine’s Day because I’m not dealing with two things within a week of each other. She said fine. 36 years and counting.
  21. Dang I was excited about Mickens, but knew that it was a long shot. I think Freeman is as well liked in the coaching community as Sark.
  22. We are staying in Cuiilen Hill hotel in Portree and The Scot in Oban. Decent showers and hot water?🚿 Also, why Landranger maps. Can’t I just download the country to my iPhone and use gps?
  23. The Ticket read an interesting email from a fan. The fan said the new ownership is tossing people out because that’s what they know - running casinos, where they toss anyone out they don’t want in there. I despise this new ownership group.
  24. I need affordable, good quality caiman or gator boots, preferably in black cherry if available, but will take any color if not. What brand am I buying?
  25. CDC didn’t make a mistake on the Tom Herman press release. It had already been decided that Herman was gone when he spoke, but they needed a little more time to sew up the Sark contract. So CDC, in order to keep things from spinning out of control for a few weeks, accurately said that Herman was the coach. The press actually inaccurately reported it as a vote of confidence and as an indication he was staying. Go back and read the exact words CDC used. I am 100% sure that it had already been decided that Herman was going to be fired when CDC spoke
