  1. Johnson bailed Campbell's ass out numerous times when he went full meathead. But if Detroit can't move the ball with the skill players they've got things will turn toxic quick, fast & in a hurry.
  2. Denver D comes up big when needed.
  3. Denver in full FAFO mode.
  4. Purdy with a bad ball over the middle.
  5. ATL has zero idea how to use their skill players.
  6. I get the 2 PT attempt but trying to drop that pass into triple coverage in the corner of the endzone by Fields was the wrong choice.
  7. He doesn't seem to have the desire or aptitude to compete in this new era. OK State has made him a very wealthy man. He should exit stage left & look for a job as a color commentator or studio host. Hell, with some polishing he could make his way up to the Gameday set in 5 years.
  8. Now that what a PF on the punter looks like.
  9. Oopsie, Mateer.
  10. Did you recently emerge from a coma? When has ou ever been anything but trash at every opportunity?
  11. This is gonna be a high profile cripple fight where two average teams look elevated against one another.
  12. They've got nothing to offer to recruits other than to be developed & snatched up by a school with means in 1-2 years. But why go & get your shit kicked in on national TV (occasionally) & risk your health in the process? They're not competitive now, and if they finish in the bottom half of the conference again they'll be irrelevant.
  13. Not since he cut the mullet.
  14. That Gundy Consumer Cellular commercial is...not good. But he might as well cash in on the biggest moment of his careeer.
  15. The only chance okie State has in this game is if the Ducks start taking bong hits in the huddle & smoking joints on the sidelines. Pokes aren't even close to being able to compete physically.

  17. If BCBS can't update their coding profile for the new C-19 vax within the next week I'm just going to pay for it out of pocket and seek reimbursement later if needed. When I attempted to get it last week (along w/ flu and TDAP) the tech at CVS did all she could to get approval from my insurer but no dice. I asked then what it would cost me if I just paid for it myself and she estimated "around $200." I've heard of at least six coworkers at satellite offices here in the city having contracted it in the last few weeks. And my sister (also in Austin; works in healthcare) had her 3rd bout with it 6 weeks ago. This insanity is going to continue. If I've gotta drop a couple hundred bucks then so be it. I also realize there are millions of at risk people in this country for whom that's not an option.
  18. Just ordered this book. I've always been impressed w/ Larson's writing and the depths of his research.
  19. So you, me, and a handful of other assholes, huh? My wife (3 meds) and cat (one) are doing their best to average out our household.
  20. YES!!!! A true Holy Grail moment from the vault. Rumored for decades, Bruce was denying it existed in any complete form as recently as 3 months ago. Just in time for the release of Deliver Me from Nowhere. Here's the 2nd version of BITUSA (between the acoustic demo and the full E Street Band hit) The box set has the complete electric Nebraska, outtakes from Nebraska, a remastered original release, and a recent solo theater recording of the album on vinyl + Blu ray. I've had the CD bootleg Alone In Colt's Neck for about 20 years now. The original version of BITUSA is on it, plus Pink Cadillac, Losin' Kind and Child Bride (which later became Working on the Highway).

  21. Such an underrated film. RIP, Graham. You always delivered.
  22. Search Amazon anti-Trump shirt. That's where I found it. Multiple color & fabric options available. Under twenty bucks. Wore it into my local dive pub that could be rebrandaed as MAGATS for a fantasy league draft and the people who got it laughed & high fived me. The knuckle draggers never seemed to notice.
  23. What can I say? I love hummingbirds.
  24. Whatever you do, make sure you get the 2nd. A buddy of mine got a rough case of shingles late last winter. It was right after he'd retired and was dealing w/ trying to get Medicaid. He got the first shot for Shingles in 2019 when he was 62. Then the pandemic hit and he just forgot to go back and get the second one. That decision came back to bite him in the ass big time.
  25. That was my experience w/ the shingles vax 2 years ago (first dose kinda suck; second had me doing the fever/chills/full body ache for about 12 hours). I got my flu and TDAP vax this morning. Tried to get the new COVID-19 vax but no dice due to insurance coding issues. The tech at CVS was very helpful and spent a good 10 minutes trying to get things worked out but no dice. She even called me after we'd left to tell me to try checking in again next Thu or Fri to see if the coding issues are fixed. The pharmacist who gave me my 2 shots told me they just received boxes of the new C19 vax yesterday and they're just taking up space in storage now.
