    Is it sad I'm still rocking (2) Panasonic plasmas (50G15 & 60GT50) and never want to change to the new TVs? I just cannot get over how the new generation of TVs look in terms of color (not talking "showroom" brightness & color blasting) and their motion-blur technology (even though it has gone...

    Bourbon: Larceny (bang-for-buck), Russell's Reserve (10 or Single) for a more middle-uppermiddle. Scotch: This is always hard as some like peat, some don't. And scotch is generally more expensive than its American cousin (Bourbon). But can never go wrong with a tried-and-true Glenlivet 12 (or 15...

    True... But doesn't surprise me he didn't win gold on the 100m Butterfly. I cannot imagine the amount of strain and lactic acid buildup in his body after all the heats, semis, and finals he did over the last few days.

    2016 Olympics. - Brazil

    They are both freaks, but Ledecky may become a more dominant force in swimming than Phelps with the way she's winning and shattering records. Only downside to Ledecky is she is a freestyle-only swimmer whereas Phelps does basically everything.

    Him, Ladecky, and Hosszu (Hungary swimmer) are all freaks of nature. Ladecky was 7 seconds faster than the 2nd place swimmer in the 800m Freestyle Heat. That is insane

    Who's more corrupt? NFL, FIFA or the IOC?

    What I am trying to figure out is most of these teams have a contract in place with the city/count/state in terms of lease agreements and repayment. The Diamondback were threatening to leave, but their contracted lease is for another 12 years. In what voodoo-magic legal agreements are in place...

    Who's more corrupt? NFL, FIFA or the IOC?

    The big issue with these NBA, NHL, NFL teams is they are not disclosing their financials to the public when they come crawling for taxpayer money. If you want us to open our pocketbook, you have to open yours first. They all seem to throw out that they don't have the money to build these...

    Damn... Kelsi Worrell (Univ. of Louisville graduate) didn't make it to the finals (100m fly). No idea what she was doing, but she glided in at the end causing her to be .03 of a second off from qualifying.

    You talking about Ultimat Vodka? Tito's is pretty good straight, a tad hot on the finish though. I recommend Jean-Marc XO vodka if you want something to drink straight (or for a Vodka + Tonic) if you are willing to spend premium vodka pricing ($40-50). It is a phenomenal vodka and really good on...

    Who's more corrupt? NFL, FIFA or the IOC?

    Yes, the NBA does "scam" the public for arenas. The Milwaukee Bucks marketing to build a new stadium was hilarious (in the video around 9:30).

    Still think it is funny how the USA men's and woman's basketball teams are staying on a luxury cruiseliner, basically giving a big 'fuck you' to all other athletes that are basically enduring living in a 1-star hotel. USA Olympic committee should've just footed the bill for another cruise-liner...

    Never tried Swift, I'll need to see if it is anywhere around here to buy. Four Roses Single is indeed delicious. Their "small batch-barrel strength" limited yearly release has to be my 2nd favorite Bourbon of all. It is stupidly good and barrel strength stuff generally is my favorite.

    Monkey Shoulder is a pretty darn good blended Scotch, especially for the price. Very similar to things like Larceny or Johnny Drum bourbon. Cannot beat the taste and quality for the money. I'd say it is better than some of the more expensive variants

    So that picture of the train I posted looks to actually be GR. Just would've been strange as Hellfire was used for like a total of 10-15minutes out of the whole season (and was basically fodder during the fight scenes) but yet gets a big marketing push. Did not make much sense
