  1. Pig now deep in their own territory with 2nd and long and Texas with only one TO. Pig gets 2nd half kickoff. Won't surprise me if Pig chooses to run out the clock.
  2. Nothing like a 21-yard net punt. Moore and Simmons combine nicely on first down, though.
  3. Nice looking drive derailed by pure stupidity.
  4. Just a fucking stupid decision. Throw the ball into the ground or into the bench.
  5. If you're referring to the third down play where the pig crowd wanted a flag on Barron earlier in the game, the receiver slipped on the play. Or are you referring to a different play?
  6. Fucking refs likely cost us 4 points. That was PI.
  7. Gotta take advantage of that shank.
  8. Their slot guy on punt protection was wide open over the middle. NOt sure if their punter can throw the ball at all, but if he can, that's something that I would watch out for in similar situations later in the game.
  9. Another TNF game where the refs cover themselves in glory
  10. Well, they were probably trying to get the gold.
  11. This. Any other game they're throwing a flag if an O-lineman so much as flinches, and they miss that?? Is the NFL recruiting refs from the Big 12? That might explain things.
  12. I'm currently working on chile habanero bottles from El Yucateco and Mexico Lindo, and I prefer the El Yucateco.
  13. Gotdam!
  14. Sorry to sound callous, but I wonder what species was the perp. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dingo-dinkelman-youtuber-known-south-000000703.html Dingo Dinkelman, YouTuber Known As South Africa’s Steve Irwin, Dies After Snake Bite . . .
  15. Wtf is that on his head?
  16. Understood. No fanbase is perfectly well-behaved. The game 1 incident was different from last night's arm wrestling match, though. The guy in game 1 didn't grab a player's arm, hold on to it, pry open the player's glove, etc. He just reached into the field of play to catch a ball. That's fan interference as well, but that kind of interference happens from time to time [*coughjeffreymeiercough*] and doesn't involve physical contact with the player. The incident last night? I had never seen anything like that in an MLB game.
  17. FWIW, I'm not a Dodgers fan. And I should have said in my prior post that you are excluded from the "douchebag" comment because you're reasonable. Mea culpa.
  18. Part of me is pleased that we'll have at least one more game. With that said, fuck the Yankees and their douchebag fans.
  19. My grandpa drove a 1946 Schenley. Rode great but he could never find parts anywhere.
  20. Yeah, before and after pix would have been interesting -- both as to the bottles and the participants.
  21. Yeah, I almost added to my prior post the fact that he was having health issues right around that time, which might have influenced the decision to not charge him.
  22. As for the pipe bombs, IIRC he claimed to know nothing about them when they were discovered and asserted that they must have been hidden away in his residence by some ex-con friend who had stayed at the location for a period of time previously. Pretty thin explanation if you ask me, so I'm not sure why charges were never brought on that basis.
  23. Very talented and intelligent. And hot, too. RIP.
  24. The inclusion of the maiden name (or a name very close to it) from that cipher was the most significant piece of physical evidence from that series, IMO. It was kind of a "whoa" moment for sure. But I know lots of Zodiac-philes have been questioning whether that cipher is legit because it was received by an Albany paper (all of the Zodiac's other communications had been received in CA) years after the killings known to have been committed by the Zodiac occurred, and because the writing seems different from the other ciphers that authorities are certain came from the Zodiac. One can definitely understand how/why so many people have "gone down the rabbit hole" and are completely wrapped up in investigating this case. It's really fascinating.
  25. There's a ton of circumstantial evidence against Allen, and that Netflix series only adds to it. If those Seawater siblings are telling the truth, the case against Allen just got even stronger. But the series glossed over the fact that the cops could never marshal any physical evidence against Allen despite serving multiple warrants. And the initial handwriting analysis failed to show a match. I know very little about that Gary Francis Poste guy. In scanning the article about the "Case Breakers," a lot of the "evidence" seemed very thin and/or speculative. Barring some sort of DNA match, I don't think we'll ever know for sure who the Zodiac was.
