    But don't forget Terry Bradshaw, Jim Kelly, and Dan Marino are all in the HoF with a score of 15 and there are plenty of really high scores that didn't succeed in the NFL. Obviously higher is better, but there's more important factors in playing QB than IQ.

    This happens to up and coming teams all the time. Expectations go through the roof when they are probably still a year out from actually being a contender.

    Silicon Valley

    Obviously it's not everyone, but I don't think there's one other city in the US where that would happen. This wasn't Westboro Baptist, just a regular Christian youth rally, but it might as well have been a KKK meeting from the reaction it got.

    Silicon Valley

    When I lived in the Bay Area there was an event for Christian teenagers scheduled in some venue in San Francisco and there were protests and lots of newspaper editorials and whatnot about how terrible it was and that was 10+ years ago. It's a real thing.

    I have a friend with one very similar to that if not identical and they like it. The only problem they have had with it is getting it to hold temperature when it's very cold outside but I've seen some people wrap them in a welding blanket or something similar. The only thing I would say is...

    Just watched last night and I thought this was a great episode and no I don't think this is a setup to end the show, I think it's setting up for next season with Carrie as a real CIA agent again. I suppose the death angle could be a possibility, but as a writer I don't know why you would put...

    You can definitely smoke stuff in a Kamado, but the temperature control isn't real precise and you have to watch it pretty much all the time. I tried to automate my Big Green Egg with a thermostatically controlled fan which worked okay, but you still have to keep an eye on it and if you need...

    I bought that Talenti gelato twice and both times it was all full of ice crystals. Maybe I just have bad luck. I do prefer Häagen-Dazs or some other plain ice cream these days to B&J just because it seems like they have gone overboard with just filling their ice cream with random shit when a...

    I have cooked a lot of shit in a weber kettle and maybe someone will disagree with me, but I don't think you can touch it for bang for your buck and I say this as someone with 3 grills that all cost over $800. Hell I've cooked 2 tri-tips at once in my $40 Smokey Joe and it worked great and that...

    49ers keeping Reuben Foster despite felony charges This is sort of interesting. Sherman's been there less than a month and he's going to court with Foster? I guess he's trying to be a leader, but it seems a little weird to me. With regard to what the team is doing, we're right in the middle...

    The problem is the jump in logic. "Gold has applications in space travel" is a hell of a long way from "Our civilization was enslaved by aliens in order to mine gold for them until some point where they flew away without a trace except for one guy carved something into a rock that looks a...

    You have to consider though, that the History channel is 100% trying to make entertaining television and they don't give the tiniest damn about facts. It's compelling because they made up whatever bullshit they needed to to make it sound compelling. Any assumptions of integrity, scientific...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I don't understand why you think that an ancient civilization for which there is no evidence whatsoever is so much more reasonable than aliens for which there is no evidence whatsoever. You're still just pulling an explanation out of thin air and then asking for concrete proof that it isn't true.

    I tried the new sliders at Hardees on Tuesday. They were shit. Dry and flavorless. I was very disappointed because I very rarely get to Hardees and there were a lot of better options i could have gone with.

    What do you want to cook on it? Nothing close to that price range is going to be as versatile as the Weber kettle. I have never used a cheap propane grill that I didn't hate, but I haven't tried the Broil King mentioned above so maybe they exist. My Mom has the Weber Spirit which is the...

    Every once in a while I see somebody and I really wonder if seeing themselves on TV will be painful for them. Chris is one of those people. He one of the least self-aware people I've seen on the show, like a less entertaining version of Coach. That 11 person meeting at the water well was so...

    With those restrictions and price range, a classic Weber Kettle is really the only option. It's not a bad option though. Charcoal takes a while to get going, but you can sear steaks, smoke brisket, and do anything else in between with a little skill in that thing and since they're Webers they...

    That video was pretty great. And the piano woman is similar to a fashion model. It's too common to just have a conventionally sexy chick, they have to look weird but not in an unattractive way. They usually have unusually large eyes too.

    I wonder if the parent is clearly driving drunk if you could refuse them. Being related to a stupid junkie who has a small child, I think there are definitely times when it would be clearly better to send a kid with someone other than their parent, but that's some tricky legal territory there...

    I'm not trying to shit on it. If you're having fun, more power to you. I don't think it's for me though, I would rather just lay on my back and contemplate the entire sky and look for the ISS or meteors or whatever. What I meant with the technical photography thing is that I just don't feel...

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I just can't relate. To me the idea of seeing it on your computer decouples it even more from the experience, to the point where it seems like you could just google and get 100x better pictures of whatever it is you're trying to photograph with your thousands of...

    What the article says is that you don't need to soak it, it's just on the surface regardless of how long you leave it in there. You could have put it on right before you cooked it and gotten the same result.

    Marinating meat is mostly a waste of time, because the flavor doesn't actually penetrate and if you're cooking with a decent amount of heat, the marinade is just going to burn, especially if it's got sugar in it. People think they're making meat better and more tender by soaking it for hours in...
