    We lived in Memphis when I was young. Most of my relatives would pack sandwiches and food for the trip from Texas. No cooler, though they owned coolers. Just a bag of baloney or ham and cheese sandwiches and a couple bags of chips. Maybe some apples and bananas. A thermos of tea passed around. I guess a throwback to long drives in Texas where there might not be a place open for miles. Wrapped in wax paper. They sucked. Warmed in a car that was unair conditioned or barely so. My dad lived on the road and knew where to eat everywhere. We didn’t pack shit to eat. “Cant we pack you some sandwiches. It’s so expensive eating on the highway”.

    I think the bike is outside in a pool cabana or garage. For some reason they like detached garages in Chicago. She’s on the bike huffing her vape. Consumed with her failed art career. I don’t know who they got to do barb’s art out there but my 5 year old granddaughter draws and colors better pitchures.

    I like the el patio salsa but wife can’t handle the medium. I’d grade it better than ok but I likely won’t rebuy unless in sale. The chips though are killer. For those out of range Tom Thumb now has the el patio chips but they’re on an endcap not in the chips aisle. Go buy some so they add them to the assortment. They are close to the chips at el Fenix with the little bubbles in them.

    Unless I’m doing the Baltimore blue crab feast I’m not picking little crabs. Living in SF and Oregon spoiled us on big dungeness and Alaskan varieties. (99 cents apiece!). It’s why I usually just go with big ass gulf shrimp.

    My grandmother made that congealed salad. But subbed tuna fish. Canned fucking asparagus is horrible but that was fancy eating to my mom and she preferred it over the fresh. It’s why I avoided it until later in life. She’d make this salad for fancy dinners with canned asparagus, le seuer peas, lettuce leaves and blue cheese. The congealed salads all had some kind of lofty name. Jello made a fortune selling basically boiled cow hooves to all these ladies.

    When those were the team unis everyone hated them: the fans and the players. They were ridiculed. Opposing teams made fun of the “flamboyant” pirate on the helmet.

    And where was Barbara during all this that night? Her husband is not home obsessing over his lover breaking up with him. Her teen ager daughter took her car to go murder death kill. Her teen ager son out riding around spying on Carolyn. For such a doting mother she sure seems disconnected.

    Does that mean there’s a Jeff fisher coming to completely fuck up their dragon career?

    When Jerry moves on Charlotte will be the CEO of the family corporation. Stephen will head up football operations. Jerry Jr will just live on the yacht.

    The under dash Pioneer SuperTuner 8 track. Probably paired with some Jensen TriAx 6x9s or some MindBlowers. It was a killer unit and the tuner ungodly. I probably owe my career in electronics to that single product. I learned to install car stereos when I was 15 and it was a little side business thru high school. I installed dozens of those Pioneers. Fast forward 15 years and I’m the buyer for Pioneer’s largest dealer. Great product.

    Worst helmet design ever. I hated the creamsicles and they were losers in them.

    That’s 20 big name big $ QBs against the rank and file many of whom make less than a mil. It’s obvious the owners can’t help themselves in regards to QB salaries so they usually come up with things like a rookie cap and the salary cap. I would do away with void years first. That alone could fix the issue as it games the system. And would force front offices to deal with real money against real contracts.

    On my dad’s side family get togethers usually included that most dreaded of Texas food traditions : the congealed salad. My grandmother and her sisters would make these awful things. Like lemon jello with tuna fish, pineapple and pecans. Or lime jello with mayo and sour cream with pimentos, peaches, ham, and marshmallows. Awful. My dad just made me try a bite of everything. If I didn’t like it fine. But those jello salads were always terrible.

    They need to hammer out a salary cap for QBs. Is Dak not going to play for $25 mil? Of course he will. So will all the rest. You just have a rule that no single player can earn more than x% of the cap.

    That’s a good looking Beagle. I’d take her if we were able. Wife’s having major spine surgery tomorrow and recovery will be months. Hope someone here takes her.

    As stated, the fact that your SIL now recognizes her husband has a serious problem is a good step…for her. Al-anon can help her cope, encourage, vent. The truth is until your BIL desires to quit drinking and seek help no treatment or therapy or begging or threatening will work. He’s got to hit rock bottom and maybe his wife and family can accelerate that instead of enabling him. He’s probably planning the alcohol for the wedding reception and will use that as an excuse.

    Yeah right. Owners nor rank and file will approve it. The Brock Purdy model is the way.

    The players get paid collectively all the same by each team thru the cap; the only difference is how it’s divvied out. Were I a GM I would probably divy it up differently than you. I don’t think every QB up for a contract deserves more money than the last simply for the timing of their contract. I don’t like FO stupidity. I don’t blame a player for where they are drafted or accepting money that is negotiated. I think in most cases teams paying outrageous percentages of cap to QBs will regret it simply because they can’t build a truly sustainable football team with adequate depth to get thru a season. I think the Ravens will regret that contract as will the chargers and browns and the Cowboys are and will if they Coro ate Dak. Most can’t put together an o line with 5 decent starters much less the backups that will be needed during a long season.

    The addition of a “true GM” does nothing in terms of success or failure with any team. For every Howie Roseman you have two or three Terry Fontanots. The most successful franchise in recent history had no GM just the head coach. As someone who has worked in companies from huge multibillion corps to sole proprietorships and everything g in between, I can say having the correct structure had nothing to do with the general stupidity of the brains involved. Business schools fail completely in quantification and measurement of the role of stupidity in failures. You’re saying you are tired of Jerry Jones. But you somehow believe he will hire this dream GM that will make everything right? Not going to happen.

    Seasmoke prefers the high heat rapid cook over the low and slow methodology. Has zero fucks for wrapping or 321 tricks.

    She likely fried the taters in bacon fat. My parents kept a huge crock of it. Depression food. When most of us were poors. Though they didn’t have pre sliced bread back then. My old man would grow tomatoes and when they came in we’d have tomato sandwiches. Most of us have. But he’d go back to his Depression years growing up and make a BGLT…bacon grease, lettuce, tomato. He’d griddle the bread in bacon grease. So fucking good. Mom was picking cotton at 5. Think about that. I looked at my eldest granddaughter when she was heading to kindergarten. And thought of my mom at the same age, pulling a long bag in the Texas heat, cutting her hands and legs up on cotton plants, getting slapped by my grandmother to speed up. Going home to a tarpaper shack with a dirt floor and eating greens and leftover cornbread. Life was so hard back then and they were so tough. She never complained about it but was less nostalgic than dad about the food from then.

    That fucking sucks. D line always has a hit or two in camp. Musically it’s a ped suspension.

    It’s those void years that fucked them up. They did that going all in the past two seasons to make a run with those teams who had the talent to win it all and failed to do shit in January. Restructuring Dak and paying him more bonus than salary and using void years. They are the sucker bets of the cap. Dak can leave taking his money and cowboys get stuck with $40 mil in dead cap. Still I wouldn’t extend fucking Dak.

    We had tuna fish all the time but she’d sometimes do that putting ham or leftover roast thru her meat grinder for a salad. I loved that stuff.

    I guess we’ll soon see Nigerians adorned in Biden 24 shirts.
