    Isn't TNT going to cover the WCF? That's what they've done in the past.

    Do they? That would be great, then. I thought the conference finals all went network.

    Damn you still got that childlike flame. I respect that. I was fucking Ob. Sessed. with the league from about 2011-2021. I look back fondly but don't miss how ridiculously emotionally invested I was. 

    Tomorrow's game for some reason is an ESPN game. Unless this Dallas series goes 7 or if there is a night game on Sunday, tonight will be the last TNT game. Then we gotta deal with Screamin A for the rest of the season. That is severe depression worthy.

  3. I honestly get a little depressed for a few days every year when they sign off for the season. Hoping at least one of these series goes into next week.

  4. Man I don't hate on anyone. But Denver is putting Watson on Rudy and Rudy is calling for the ball deep in the post but no one will pass it to him. 😭😭. Edit nvm that's Justin Holiday and it was a switch.

    Yeah I like the slant-back soft top better than the square one.  That's what I put on my Jeep.

    Still pretty new to the soft top thing with the Bronco. It is pretty fun, though and I'm kind of falling in love with the vehicle and starting to tweak stuff. I think I'm getting addicted. Crap. 

    So far I think the Bestop top would be fine. It would be similar to the hard top with the front two panels and middle panel being off. The soft top in "position 1" would also be similar but this is definitely the worst look of the 3 in that position imo. But I'm driving so IDGAF how it looks. 

    To take the soft top fully down you have to remove the rear 3 windows. I've never owned a Jeep but apparently this is pretty standard practice? I timed it, it took me and 2 minutes to get all 3 removed and about 7 minutes to put them back. 

    Also I stand corrected on the engine which explains the gas mileage. I thought I had the middle engine but I don't. The Wildtrak has a 2.7 6 twin turbo putting out 330 HP. Definitely need that for my trips to Kroger and the school drop off line. At least I know it can haul my smoker right?

  6. I just finished the season last night. I enjoyed it. I know it has been called out but I'm going to piggyback. The using the nanofibers thing to quietly murder everyone onboard and completely destroy a 120000 ton steel ship while being confident that they wouldn't destroy an 8" hard drive was an interesting plot choice. Almost up there with JCVD punching a snake in the face in Hard Target.

    Wait what did Hart just say to Reggie? Hahahaha. He got an f bomb on TV.

    The crowd was chanting Fuck You Reg-gie!

    Hart told him what they were saying. Crew still playing dumb. Somehow I don't think the guys in Studio J will be complicit. 

  8. Holy shit that was great. I was going to say how is the crew not even going to acknowledge this chant? Hart did it for them. 🤣🤣

    Also, I'm a little surprised it's so difficult to do the swap.  I think Bestop makes the OEM soft tops for both Jeep and Bronco, and on our Jeep it's super-easy to swap back and forth.  I can do it in bout 15 minutes at this point, and all hardware was included with the soft top (that I bought after-market but it's the same as what Jeep will sell you straight from the factory).

    I assume that as the Bronco platform matures, more of this stuff will end up plug and play, as it is with the Jeeps.

    My understanding is that if you order a hard top from FMC and add the option of a soft top, they provide you with the Bestop top on a pallet. However the Bestop top is different from the factory top that comes on the vehicle if you just order a soft top. I believe that is a Ford part. I did some looking around prior to deciding that I wanted the factory soft top, and the thing people don't like about the Bestop vs factory top is that the Bestop doesn't fold all the way down in the back like the factory does. 

    But yes they made this way harder than it should be.

  10. Seems mostly like a Toyota thread but I'll chime in with a few thoughts and food for thought on the Bronco. I bought one in October. 4 door hard top Wildtrack with the Sasquatch package. No I will probably not ever use some of those features unless I get stuck in the snow but all of that aside it is a bad ass vehicle and I love it. Mine has the 3.6 turbo and it moves. The gas mileage sucks but it does have an eco mode and I don't drive a ton of miles.

    It is finally warm enough here that I started messing with the top panels. I wanted the hard top because of where I live and also because at the time Ford wasn't selling the factory hard top and I read that if they were going to in the future it would be 5k+. My plan was to buy a factory soft top on the secondary market and swap out the hard top for the soft top in the summer. Found a soft top for $1k and grabbed it. Changed them out today and it wasn't easy. I found removing the hard top panels for the front and second row pretty easy and a one person job. We'll see how much I like the soft top in the summer but right now I'm thinking sticking with the hard top may be the way to go.

    One thing that is fucking stupid is Ford does not give you all of the parts you need for the soft top if you get a hard top even though they all fit on the vehicle with the hard top on. They don't even sell a conversation kit. There's about $300 worth of bolts and brackets you have to source on your own to install the soft top.

  11. An apk for an app that I can no longer find in the play store or even on downloader. All of the links are dead. The device has USB ports but somehow I do not have a single USB to USB cable in the house. Is there a way to do this wirelessly somehow? If I had a damn USB cable I could move it onto a laptop and then from laptop onto my other device. Google search produces results for things I'm not trying to do. Yes it does have a single HDMI port but it's not for sale. 

  12. I have two comments. First I'm not sure if he's disabled or not, but at this point I don't fucking care. Get that damn kid doing his fancy selfie jump hitting that pose in the Pixel commercial off of my fucking TV. Now.

    Second, why does my algorithm seem to think I give a fuck about that Stephen A has to say about anything? He is just a loudmouth obnoxious fan. I am sick of his shit popping up on my Twitter and IG. I do not follow that clown. Why is he even on TV? The TVs at the gym this morning were tuned into some other god awful round table diarrhea salad show and they were doing a fucking segment on some statement that Screamin A made about LeBron and the Knicks. He is not even on that particular show. Who holds this guy's basketball opinions in high regard exactly?
