    Find a relative with old school cable, like a Spectrum or Suddenlink, and get their login to their web services (if they are an old, they may not even have this set up, so you are doing them a favor). Use this to log into the ESPN app on Roku or Fire, and watch the LHN that way. Be sure to save that login information, because those assholes seemingly make you re-login every few times you use it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to type ESPN.com/activate in my browser and enter the code, but it allows me to watch the few games, pre and post game shows and the Sark newser on Monday.

    Love this. Thanks.

  2. Does the YTTV account come with a login for ESPN+, and can I get the LHN that way? More specifically, to Longhorn games ON the LHN (I don't really care about all the other programming, just the ability to watch the games).

    Separately, I pay for the Disney/Hulu bundle. Does THAT get me an ESPN+ login, with access to the LHN to watch Horns games?

    Agree that the win showed progress in the program.

    I am concerned that teams are going to sell out to stop the run and short passing game and make Thompson and these receivers connect deep consistently.

    We are not effectively threatening deep much.

    Just think of how different this take is (which I agree with, btw) if Worthy holds on to 3 balls that he's been catching since he was 12 years old. The plays are there, Sark is getting us into positions to succeed, and kids have shown improvement week over week. I'm hopeful.

    He has 0 confidence on the green. He doesn’t get the ball to the hole in big situations when he needs to hole it. He needs to make putts and he’s not.

    Replace with Finau or English.

    Except for birdie on 9 and eagle on 16 in the afternoon match? C'mon man, he putted like total shit in the AM, but lacking confidence he isn't.

    Peak time period:

    Rock bottom:

    Also ...

     

    Peak Time period - whenever it was that you were 12-16 or so.

    Rock Bottom - the time period immediately after that one.

  6. Best Sketch: too many to pick just one. Van Down by the River. Synchronized Swimming. Who Orders Lobster in a Diner? Cheeseburger. If It's not Scottish it's CRAP. Waynes World with Aerosmith. 

    Best cast member: Belushi. Farley. Ferrell. Sandler on SNL was great, regardless of what you think of him now. I'm a fan of the female takeover in the last 10-15 years, starting with Tina and Amy, into Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong.

    I'll probably watch the Sudeikis episode. The rest, nah...

    Rami Malek is insanely talented. I'm down to watch that one.

     

    Brandi Carlile is the musical guest with Sudekis. That's gonna be a great show; she fucking WAILS.

    Rising, who came on in relief of Brewer with 5:24 to go in the third quarter of Saturday’s 33-31 triple-overtime loss to San Diego State, is listed as the starter. Second-year freshman Ja’Quinden Jackson is listed as the backup.

    Lord. Did all of the UT and UT-adjacent QBs go to Utah?

    The fact that Sark wasted no time naming Casey as the new starter says a lot about Card's performance Saturday. Sark clearly watched the film and didn't like what he saw.

    I still think Card will be a baller over time. Just needs more experience

    It's also a MAJOR departure from how our previous two coaches operated, in a good way.

    If we are going to discuss people changing their behavior, perhaps we could discuss Bryson changing his, because he openly asks for this shit by being an unrepentant asshole.

    I cannot possibly agree with a statement more than I agree with this one. 100PCT agree.

     

    He's legit on the spectrum, and he needs better advisors. I don't say that to throw stones, but to observe that his support structure NEEDS to be different than some other people. That's ok, but he's not really taking much responsibility for this shit either.

    They also need a list of things you’re not allowed to call other players.  The list being Bryson-exclusive feels a little wrong to me.  I’m sure Tiger probably heard some shit that made him uncomfortable.  Perhaps the PGA should show Bryson some clips from when Lebron returned to Cleveland for the first time after signing with the Heat.  Or when any NFL team has to play in Philly.  The players should be provided a safe environment, but beyond that you really can’t control what people say, and it’s kind of part of the job as a professional athlete.

    I totally get this take, but also, golf is different. Fans are sometimes within feet of the golfers. The bias towards quiet means a single loud, shouted voice can have a material impact on a swing, a shot, a tournament. There's no 'background noise' to drown out the assholes. And this is way more than just "a few guys giving Bryson the needle." It's fully possible to differentiate some good-natured trash talk from targeted assholery. I'm of the opinion that targeted assholery should be an automatic ejection from a tournament, no refund given, and I don't care what player it's targeted at. It wouldn't take long for some of this shit to die away. 

    For me, even the "mashed potatoes" guy should get kicked out, and also get off my lawn.

    Avoid them like the plague.  If you're going to venture in the grey market, I'd suggest EBay and look for pieces that come with an authenticity guarantee.  EBay holds the funds in escrow until the watch can be validated.

    I was looking a Mad Paris Explorer II and agreed to a price with a seller - seller shipped it to the verifications group at EBay and didn't pass muster.  EBay sent me my funds back that day and booted the seller.

    +1 to @cabowabo - the grey market dealers have a lot to like, ESPECIALLY if you're venturing into your first higher-end watch and need to save some coin. I bought from Jomashop, received a completely-untouched new-in-original-packaging Omega at a $2k discount from the boutique shop prices, and when I needed to submit for a warranty claim, they actually just sent me the original warranty card and told me to call Omega directly.

    I have batch 2 and I paid $120 for it.  I think it was a mistake on the shelf but I certainly like it for $120.

     

    I haven't had any of the later releases more than once in a restaurant/bar setting.

    100% same. I enjoyed batch 1, bought a bottle of batch 2 and really liked it, even at that price point (granted, I'm a sucker for slightly sweeter ryes, so it was right up my alley). Have heard bad things about B3 and beyond from folks that recommended B1 and 2 to me ...

    The wife and I have been re-watching our favorite episodes in anticipation of Season 3... we re-watched "Baron's Night Out" last night. Holy shit. I almost always forget about this exchange until I re-watch, it's SO fucking good:

    BARON: You know what I've always wanted to try?

    LASZLO: Coprophila?

    BARON: Pizza Pie! Is it as good as they say? (turns to Laszlo) ... Coprophilia?!?!

    And then the end when they all get home acting like drunk/stoned assholes is just incredible. 

    Is this the same episode as "We drank some blood. Those guys were on drugs. Now I'm a wizard!"? Because that shit was hilarious.

  15. That trailer looks nothing like the goddamned books. This is going to be an "inspired by" show, and i hate it already.

     

    disclosure - Foundation was the first "grown up" sci-fi I ever read. I read every novel in the series, even the posthumous ones, every 3-4 years. It's going to be very difficult for me to enjoy this. I'll still watch but ... I promise not to Derka these threads, tho.
