    College Football 2019 - 2020 Season

    I'm in Austin and was at a sports bar for that game. People were real sad. And getting real drunk.

    There's just as high a chance of the Bengals signing Chad Johnson again. At least that would be fun.

    NBA 2019-2020 Season: Kawhi Saved Us

    One of those Finals teams that lost was not loaded with talent. No Durant. No Thompson. Completely exhausted of depth. If the Dubs managed to win that Finals? Toronto should have felt bad. 3-1 Finals comeback bad.

    NBA 2019-2020 Season: Kawhi Saved Us

    This is patently false. He took literally over the exact same team Mark Jackson had the year before. Went from a first round elimination to a title. Sure, Kerr has some questionable rotations at times, but he's definitely one of the better coaches in the NBA.

    Not as bad as Game 1 last year. But this is pretty damn bad.

    You sound rather unique. I don't think there are "many" of you. Weed is hella popular across all demographics.

    This is what I mean by deals that look good but aren't quite what I'm looking for. I'm probably gonna end up paying full price even with Black Friday deals because they aren't the exact models I want.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    These teams are worse. Way worse. Combined 1-18 record. You have to consider the fact that they might play 0-16 teams three times if it wasn't for the fact they play each other this year. This is indisputable.

    Yeah Astros definitely huge favorite. Nats shouldn't have even made postseason haha. At least at early year evaluation. I honestly don't have a preference. As both a Reds and A's fan I have "rival" status against the Astros but they dealt with some real shit years for a while. So as a Reds and...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    C'mon, Uber. I get your schtick. But the Pats play their own division and the AFC North. You only play the opponents in front of you, but the season doesn't offer many impressive adversaries. Offenses are favored more than ever, but this season is loaded with more bad teams than ever. And the...

    Movie sets up a lot of the jokes for the show. I will agree that the show is probably better overall. But the movie has some classic jokes in it.

    Pretty sure they'll still make playoffs. Unless you think Curry, D-Lo, and Green are incapable of being better than world beaters like the Grizzlies, Suns, T-Wolves, etc.

    The build I'm shopping for is looking to be around $1500. Hoping Black Friday deals can reduce that considerably. Unfortunately not sure how flexible I want to be in my build and the exact pieces I'm looking for might not even be on sale.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I really don't know. You'd think the talent on this team is not 0-7 bad, but this team's offense is historically terrible without AJ Green. It's been that way for the entire Dalton era. AJ is necessary for the success of the offense. I just don't see a possible win until Jets. Though part...

    That's almost exactly what I did. But I added way less butter. That's probably my problem. When in doubt add more butter.

    I actually sauteed them first for about 60 sec each side, then pressure cooked them for two min. I tried to get trendy and made a cauliflower puree. Didn't turn out great.

    Is this really a thing? Purely anecdotal, but I go to my fair share of baseball games - all across the country due to business travel - and I see plenty of young people going to games. Sure, I'm not "young" anymore at 33, but a lot of my friends are really into baseball. And all of them except...

    I thought he was gonna be great. I remember shitting on the Cavs for getting rid of him but it may have been one of their better moves. Even though Kevin Love wasn't great, he was probably way better than Wiggins for that title.

    One of my favorite NFL memes. Megatron STILL accounts for like 25% of Stafford's total yards thrown. It's ridiculous.

    Couldn't colder weather also account for this? It always happens in the postseason. Weather gets colder, balls don't travel as far.

    I made lamb chops in my instant pot tonight and goddamn they were some of the best I've ever had. I love lamb chops, but it's usually a pretty time intensive cooking process. These took no more than 10 min. Turned out fucking great. The flash from the camera was a little much, but when I...

    Alcohol is so good they can't make it illegal. When it was illegal, it practically caused open warfare on the streets in major cities for who controlled it. I've done a number of drugs in my day and nothing fucks me up more than booze.

    Tried the Bacon Jalapeno Chicken sandwich from Wendy's today. Been wanting to try it since it was announced. Very disappointing. A normal spicy chicken is much better. The sauce is messy and does not provide enough flavor to justify the mess and the "crispy" onions were a disgusting soggy...

    Going to Austin for a business trip next week. First time there and I'm flying in early to enjoy the weekend. What's a fun area to stay in for someone that loves live music and wants to experience that scene of Austin? I've heard East Austin?
