  1. My feelings would be much different if Jerry hadn’t kicked me in the nuts with that Dak contract. I think it kicked the rest of the team in the nuts too, seeing all their money or jobs going to a loser. if he season was going exactly like this, but Dak was playing out his final year, McCarthy and staff leaving, and high draft picks, new QB, and a new coach coming I’d feel way better. Instead this team is fucked for years. Dak won’t be curable until after 2026 and doing a Russell Wilson cut and eating $62 mil in dead cap (in the unlikely event his contract isn’t restructured with a shit ton of void years. ). Dak will murder this team until 2030.
  2. Jeff George had an incredible arm combined with an average brain but a monstrously outsized ego. The most arrogant QB perhaps to ever play, the Neidelmayer of football. He was with the Raiduhs when I lived in the Bay Area. He was loathed by his teammates. There was a game with Kc and he got sacked 8 or 9 times. The sports guy did a video of each sack, and his linemen ignoring him, never offering a hand up. That is why character counts. No QB comes into the league prepared to play nfl level football. Ginormous playbooks, complex reads, crazy route trees and timing schemes, unparalleled speed and power, unnerving intricate blitz schemes. It’s why it’s a crapshoot. For every Peyton Manning are a dozen Ryan Leafs
  3. I started doing this years ago when we lived in California. Was asked to make “real Texas Chili” by the host who was Canadian for a Super Bowl party. Asked to define it, he said “ you know, chili, beans, sorta spicy…the real thing!” i told him I’d need some room. Anyway I didn’t compromise the real lines. I was the only Texan, the rest were Bay Area locals, New Yorkers, midwesterners. Having eaten out with them often they had zero clue and little heat tolerance. Made a simple pot of ground beef chili with gebhardts and crushed tomatoes. A pot of beans. And lots of add ins. It’s evolved and expanded. I have a DiL from west Oklahoma so it’s bean tolerant. my last big one: big pot of Red (ground 80/20, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, onions, garlic; they love it and I figured out doing a chile paste and chuck roast is lost and waste of time and money) pot of green chili (ground pork, pork shoulder, onions, jalapeños, poblanos, anaheims, tomatillos) pot of pinto beans made with bacon grease, bacon, ham hock, chile, beer) Mexican rice, Fritos, tortilla chips, saltines, chopped fresh jalapeños, chopped onions, biscuits or flour tortillas (great with the green), sour cream, shredded cheese. A bunch of other shit. if you’re have the notion ill grill up hot dogs or links. I like wrapping one up with chili cheese and onions in a flour tortilla. Always a hit and something few have had. My dad made them when I was a kid.
  4. Tomlin with some questionsble calls. Should have made them go for it on a long 4th and 2.
  5. All I remember of that movie is nekkid Rene russo
  6. The other what if on Godfather was that 3 was supposed to be about jfk and the mob. Would have been better than a Vatican financial scandal.
  7. Daisy was on live after the ep and cleaned up nicely. Cut her hair. Flipped off before any questions about her and Gary. the cliffhanger had the partial about to crash into another boat so maybe it goes down with all hands.
  8. I’m intrigued by the cotton bale in the back. Is it an actual size bale, meaning that must be a whiskey bottle the size of a Buick. Are you a giant?
  9. All of this. And how much of this was Stephen’s weird vengeance over being cucked by his wife for his son. this could have been so much better. I think the stupidity of her office, her husband, the hospital staff, etc was they were going for a Hitchcockian falsely accused vibe but couldn’t pull it off.
  10. My son made this today. It’s “over the top smoker chili”. I put it here as he’s in Oklahoma, married to an Oklahoman from the panhandle, who has a midwestern palate and insists on beans in chili. So I expect it has beans in this. the meat is venison, ground 80/20 beef, and chorizo. This was a test pot as he’s planning on making tweaks to this for Thanksgiving weekend. he didn’t send a pic of the finished product
  11. Is that a steak for just you or for a family? We got invited over to a colleague’s home some years ago. My wife called his wife to see if there was anything we could bring. “ No, Jim’s cooking steak!” We got there and it was four adults and two teenage boys. his wife told him it was time to put the steak on. He came out to the patio with a single strip about that size. When she said steak she meant one fucking steak. This dude made probably $250k in the early 00’s. We got like three slices each. A plain salad and some instant mashed taters. we had to stop and pick up burgers on the way home. B
  12. Not a criticism of Godfather II but a what if. I’ve read that The original script had no Frank pantangeli but it was Clemenza originally in that slot. Richard Castellano made some demands that were rejected and refused, and died offscreen. I think The pivot to Pantangeli was masterfully written and was perfectly acted. The scene between him and Tom at the prison was powerful stuff. But what if it had been Clemenza in those scenes? Different but I’m doubtful they’re better.
  13. A reference for size: a regular McDonald’s burger is 1.6 oz per patty. We’d make them for ourselves like a smash burger and cook them to where the meat was cooking thru and then flip for just a few seconds, season heavy with salt and pepper, throw some grilled quarter pounder onions on, cheese it, put like four on the bun. it’s basically crunchy meat and melty America. also if you have the tool, grind up a chuck roast and use that. It makes a hell of a difference. a griddle is best. If no blackstone use a gas grill with a cast iron griddle and crank it hot.
  14. Well your OG joints would sell for at for $12 a lb as it would be whatever they caught in their traps. Panther City is likely using a craft raised product fed only organic shit, the wagyu of rats. So $35 a skewer sounds right.
  15. One has to wonder how many Michelin rec’d places have been shut down for rats and filth issues a few months before being announced. Panther City will probably raise price on brisket to $65 lb, but are adding a rat on a stick for tighter budgets. it’s obvious they don’t look online to see if they’re still open, had health inspection issues, or been involved in various lawsuits. I’m surprised Valentina’s didn’t get a rec just based on their embarrassing scandal.
  16. When it comes to barbecue I put far more trust in Daniel Vaughn over Michelin.
  17. Hot Rod magazine when testing the 70 w30 said it pegged their machine and estimated it was quite a bit stronger. It wasnt alone; the Buick 455 and Pontiac SD455 among others were way above the understated factory specs. maybe they had a shitty gauge from TG&Y.
  18. Watched both eps. Great cast with superb comedy chops. Unfortunately nothing funny happened. Terrible writing. About as funny as Me and the Chimp. We were both disappointed .
  19. Dak’s contract, with void years, is likely to extend into 2031 or so, and that’s if Jerry doesn’t give another contract after this one. It’s devastating to the team. It is stupid and devastating. And this injury will make it more so. i thought earlier maybe a little sanity had arrived after last January. New coaching staff. Dak gone. Trade Micah for picks and dumping some bad contracts. Total rebuild for 25. The team is fucked with the Dak contract as it squishes all that. It’s a fucking fungus that cannot be overcome. they need to prep for disaster. Dak might end up more fucked up. Draft a QB high and use that cheap contract.
  20. Buyouts like this $63 mil for Norvell and $45 mil for venables is going to have boosters at each others throats when they find out they spent a jillion bucks on fucking Jethro Bodine. I’d expect they start putting in some basic performance reqs or else coaches will get a big deal and spend their time playing angry birds.
  21. I went to high school in the mid70’s. Rich kids had crap like that wheezy TransAm with all the gold decals. Or a Bricklin. Or likely a GMC conversion van. The working stiffs had true muscle cars. I had a 70 442 with that was 365hp stock but put out an estimated 1000 films torque. That was before headers, a Lunati cam, some head work, and a Holley 780. A buddy had a 70.5 TransAm, in white with blue stripe as God intended with the badass 400. It was the fastest factory car I was ever in, and it handled. You could get a hemi cuda for $800. So the lot was full of all kinds of cool cars: GS455 Skylarks, Camaro split bumpers. Tons of mopars. Mustangs. It would be a me on auction goldmine. But I’d have still driven that black TA , slow as it was factory, if Sally Field had been in the copilot seat.
  22. We’ve hung with it and it’s a slow drag race into a brick wall.
  23. Cristina doesn’t show the goods. She’s a good Italian girl, unfortunately.
  24. He’s got a big buyout if they want to shitcan him
  25. Ali G banished her without listening to her, poisoned his son against her, partnered with Kevin Kline and sided with him, and then just said “ I’m. Sorry!”. Glad she told him to fuck off.
