  1. He's upset that so many fictitious characters were "colorized," yet he whitewashed a real person--the King of Pop himself! (Yes, this is now the third time I've used the same stupid GIF.)
  2. Didn't they have a green chile chicken stew back in the 90s? I remember that being quite good.
  3. Always assumed he rode moose. Bareback.
  4. Weren't you just eating barbecue in Abilene the other day?
  5. King of the deadpan. Decent Major Major Major, too. His best friend Don Rickles died in 2017, and his wife passed about a year ago. I imagine Bob was ready. Thank you for all the laughs, you stammering idiot**. ** Said with great affection.
  6. Sir, you settled on barbecue. You upgraded to jalapeño.
  7. Will Peacock stream just the actual events, especially wrt track and field, basketball, etc.? I can't stand all the filler/fluff/featurette bullshit that seems to comprise two-thirds of US-based Olympic coverage these days.
  8. Other than Embiid not looking good (or even healthy), this Team USA roster seems much better constructed than previous iterations. Lots of outside shooting from guys who can still create when needed, bigs like Brow and Bam eager to do the dirty work inside, and defense for days. Once the real games start, I expect the D to get even better--Ant, Tatum, Jrue, et al. are going to lockdown the perimeter. If Team USA can limit turnovers, I don't see anyone coming close. And Durant--possibly the greatest international player ever--hasn't even seen the floor yet. It should be fun to watch. (What a refreshing change from three years ago, when most of the big names were too cool to represent their country.)
  9. Dunno if Timmy ultimately has the athleticism to make it in the NBA, but I do know nobody is going to outwork him. Love that guy.
  10. Spent the past five days camping and flyfishing in the Idaho wilderness. Night before leaving town, I cooked a massive, 2.25-pound rib steak and only ate half of it. Tossed the leftover half (first spoilered pic) in the cooler so it would not go to waste. First night at camp, sliced up the steak, added fresh grilled onions and japs (second pic), and rolled it all into some tortillas (unspoilered pic).
  11. Wouldn't change my vote or comment. Didn't think the USSF had the minerals to do what they should've done 18 months ago ... but they did. So good for them, I guess. And as much as I dislike the Copa for that obviously rigged game versus Uruguay, it was an unintentional favor on their part. So thank you, CONMEBOL!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. I'll see your Flagg and raise you two iterations of another.
  13. KD broke his back carrying that team. Remember how bad they were in the pre-Olympic warmups? I'd give honorable mention to the smothering, lockdown perimeter D from the likes of Jrue Holiday and Tatum.
  14. This style of actuation was clearly invented by and for those who want to rise up and stare at their turds before seeing them swim away.
  15. I find the KFC ones to be very underrated, better than most others. Unfortunately, the spice comes via a sauce, which I dislike, so I just get the regular ones "dry" and then spice 'em up at home. Very tasty and 1/2 off is definitely a bargain, imo.
  16. Waldo's always been a douche.
  17. Calvin did something similar.
  18. Not an untrue word. Between Derek Rae's grating over-pronunciations in game, and Lalas' unceasing obnoxiousness in studio, Fox's coverage has been a beating. Landon's color commentary is bland and sleep inducing. Stuart Holden talks too fucking much. But I would take both 20 times over if it meant goodbye to Rae and Lalas, both of whom are obviously legends in their own minds.
  19. Diego is short, slow and prone to trying to make a miracle pass when the merely simple pass would do. Nevertheless, he's undoubtedly the most talented, creative and effective attacking player in the U-23 pool (excluding U-23 players who have "graduated" to the senior team full time, like Gio). Infuriating that Diego was snubbed. Don't know if there's something going on behind the scenes (attitude, chemistry, etc.), but there better be to justify this mishandling.
