  1. Social media has allowed every moron with an opinion to weigh in. Then, other morons treat that opinion as fact. Used to be you’d have to read a newspaper or watch the news to have an informed opinion; and it was pretty clear if you didn’t. I talk with people from my hometown who need a hint to spell their names; however, they’re experts in multiple topics related to domestic and foreign policy and demonstrate their knowledge via memes and YouTube videos.
  2. I can’t wait to get back to Tulemar
  3. Like I said, it was his story; however, an unknown walk-on who is 5-9 and playing CB doesn’t stick around and get looks on special teams unless he shows something on the field. As my brother told it, it was at the end of a half-speed tackling drill and he was supposed to stand there and get hit. He was getting pissed and hit DM when he wasn’t expecting it. The DL line coach got mad, another coach gave him a pat on the shoulder.
  4. My brother is actually a 4.4 guy that had a knee injury ruin a promising career (back in the early 80s). He was fast as shit. If he got the corner in HS, he was gone (one game he had about 250 yards on 8 carries with a 75-yard TD called back). He had a scholarship to Syracuse as an RB but the new coach coming in didn’t honor old arrangements. After that, he walked on at Okie Light. He was mostly a tackling dummy as a freshman but turned some heads with his punt returns and by lighting up Dexter Manley in a drill (his story). Dressed a few games as a sophomore, but then came the knee injury. He doesn’t talk about it much. /csb
  5. Oz
  6. https://apnews.com/article/black-lives-matter-90-million-finances-8a80cad199f54c0c4b9e74283d27366f The foundation said it committed $21.7 million in grant funding to official and unofficial BLM chapters, as well as 30 Black-led local organizations. It ended 2020 with a balance of more than $60 million, after spending nearly a quarter of its assets on the grant funds and other charitable giving.
  7. I got the horse right here,The name is Paul Revere,And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear,Can do,Can do,
  8. That’s actually the premise of a Curb episode
  9. She does. Plus, her sister is an M.D. that loves drinking beer and whiskey and will watch whatever sport. My wife is doing the screening, though. I got really lucky with my wife and her family. For example, their mom has a beer fridge that is always fully stocked when we visit.
  10. Back in 2004 or so when we were living in San Francisco, my wife and I were almost home and stopped at a red light during heavy rush hour traffic. A car stops in the middle of the intersection right in front of us just as our light turns green. I hit the horn and both the wife and I give them the double middle finger while yelling things like “fuck you” and “fucking assholes.” The people in the car look at us in shock. The intersection clears, we turn left and are behind the other car. Next intersection, we have to turn left to get home (a lot of one way streets in our neighborhood). The people we cursed out turn left. “Maybe they’re heading to a different highway entrance to the Bay Bridge?” says my wife. Our condo was on a little one-way side street off Folsom St. Nobody turns onto that street unless they live on it. The other car turns onto that street. Fuck. “They probably live down the block” I say to my wife. We’re right behind them and before I can open the garage door to the parking garage, it starts opening and they pull in. We drove around the block before going into the garage. We saw them a few weeks later in the elevator. No words were spoken. But we all knew. Cue theme song.
  11. Received dose #2 today (Pfizer).

    Get that pandemic!
  13. These arrived yesterday
  14. Shall now means mandatory. Good to know.
  15. Just binged the season. Excited to watch it again when my wife watches it for the first time. I’m going to add CC so I can catch the dialogue. Barbecue sauce.
  16. Exactly. Her statement doesn’t negate her statement from 2018 that 9/11 was staged.
  17. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/hal-holbrook-dead-dies-emmy-tony-winning-actor-mark-twain-1234898102/ Who’s next? Jerry Jones? Matt McConaughey?
  18. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/939yu8/ron_livingstons_band_of_brothers_video_library_112/ The videos are pretty cool. Wish they were combined into one video to avoid having to repeat the same intro 12 times.
  19. Since DET didn’t post a link to the song.
  20. Unfortunately, it’s not going to happen.
  21. Fuck. My thoughts are with you and your family. We’re all here for you.
  22. In reality, you never left your room
  23. Hedging?
  24. Fuck it. I’m in. If it turns out the GOP prevails, I have more booze (and edibles) to ease the pain.
