  1. Stephen pretty definitively said yesterday that they are sticking with McCarthy. I guess they could always walk that back, but sounded like a head coaching change is pretty much off the table.
  2. I'd say it was somewhere between 25% and 35% niner fans. There were a lot, but nowhere near majority SF fans and they didn't even come close to having a home field advantage from a noise standpoint. And as has been discussed, welcome to NFL 2022. And I wouldn't waste any more time arguing with that dumbass @Hook1997 if I were you. He already got owned in the game thread so you'd think he would have learned something. But given his clear lack of intellect, I guess it's not surprising he's tripling down on stupid in another thread. Waste of server space.
  3. So, you can't even read and you think you can talk with the grownups? Here's what I said... I base that on Forbes value, which I linked here for you... You know...real, current numbers based in fact. Not internet polls and old op-ed pieces (one you linked below is over 10 years old and both are one writer's opinion)... A team's value is mostly driven by popularity. Period. The fact that I have to spell that out to you in crayon only further illustrates your ignorance. But, in your failed attempt to win an argument, you just dig a deeper hole for yourself and kept moving the goalposts to try to argue that the Cowboys aren't even the most popular team in the NFL, let alone the world (you know, because old internet articles and stuff), at which point I said this... And they are. And it isn't even close. TV ratings alone prove that. Cowboys games accounted for 5 of the top 10 TV ratings in the NFL this year. They nearly doubled the number of viewers from the next closest team on the list. Again...not. even. close. But, you keep moving those goalposts and digging a bigger hole. With nuggets like these... You don't even know what you're arguing anymore. Sorry the Cowboys are more popular than your Bears, but at this point you're really just embarrassing yourself. Like the Bears and the playoffs this year, you should probably go ahead and sit the rest of this one out.
  4. You can’t possibly be this dumb. Bag on them all you want, but you don’t have to be a Cowboys fan to know they are clearly the most popular team in the NFL and it’s not really even close. If you don’t know that, you’re a special breed of stupid.
  5. What do you think drives value? Watch any national sports broadcast and the Cowboys dominate the show. You think networks do that because nobody wants to watch them?
  6. I’ll take Forbes value as an indicator of popularity over google searches all day. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2021/05/07/worlds-most-valuable-sports-teams-2021/?sh=140c9fe83e9e
  7. Yeah I hate to admit it, but some of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life have had some kind of sauce on them.
  8. Haha not even close. The Cowboys are the most popular team in the world, in any sport. aggy…not so much. Sadly, Longhorn fans would have been a much better analogy.
  9. Congrats on winning 'dumbest take of the year' award just 14 days in. That's quite a feat.
  10. Ah, the ole "wanna get kidnapped in Mexico" thread...classic.
  11. My list begins with Lone Star Bar & Grill and ends with Big Texan. In that order. Lone Star is about as authentic legit old school Texas roadhouse in the middle of nowhere as it gets. Been there for like 30 years and is everything that's great about Texas. Big Texan (as mentioned up thread) is iconic must do once in your life as a Texan. Most of the places mentioned you can get some version of in just about any city in America. Lone Star and Big Texan are both special, albeit for different reasons. Thank me later.
  12. I don't think the one in Miami is the same Joe's. Website says locations in Vegas, Chicago and DC... https://www.joes.net/ The one in Miami... https://www.joesstonecrab.com/ Unless they split off from the original or something?
  13. @Lobo might want to invest in some of these thingies...
  14. I think what @Sam Lin is trying to say (and you should trust him, he's pre-med), is that your regular skillet really isn't optimal for what you're trying to do. Pre-heating it is better than cold, but it's still kind of half pregnant. Using a regular skillet on a stove top to get a sear is using the surface of the skillet to give it the sear, as there is no heat source from anywhere else. In that case, skillet's are optimal. But, you're actually using the Ooni much more like a salamander in that you're using the ambient heat in the Ooni as your heat source. So, the cooking surface you're using really doesn't make a difference since the majority of the sear isn't coming from it anyway, it's coming from the ambient heat of the Ooni. Now, if whatever surface you're using is cold, it will actually take away from some of the ambient heat of the Ooni and work against you. Additionally, a normal skillet with sides will actually work to block some of the ambient heat source from the Ooni too. So, using a cold regular skillet (which you did the first round) actually workrd against you double time...cold taking away from ambient heat and sides blocking ambient heat. Just pre-heating that will help, but it will still be working against you as the sides will block heat (which you can see is pretty clearly happening in your first pic). That said, ideally, you should use something flat (no sides to block heat) and something pre-heated (so the cold doesn't absorb ambient heat). Whatever surface that is (iron, steal, etc) doesn't really make a shit. Just be sure it's flat (or mostly flat) and it's preheated and you should get your optimal sear. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong, in which case @Sam Lin can clarify and delete / ban me and shit. BTW...happy new year and congrats on getting the Ooni.
  15. Ya stoopid sip... Georgia beat Bama = Natty Ags also beat Bama = Natty
  16. Not sure I'd use Bama and Georgia having elite D-lines as examples of why elite D-lines don't mean shit. That's just me though.
  17. Yeah, if you can live anywhere, I would literally pick anywhere but California for all the reasons you listed and then some. Other than the weather and maybe if you're in the film biz, that state has zero value whatsoever. Anyway, I looked pretty hard at moving to Vegas about 5 or so years back. Like you, we can live anywhere we want and thought we were ready for a change of scenery. At the time, we were traveling to Vegas for fun multiple times per year and thought it sounded like a cool idea. How badass would it be to live here and be able to do all this shit all the time? As we started to peel back the layers and look at the reality of it all, we realized that it was much more a place we liked to visit and not a place we'd like to live (kind of like NYC). Everyone we talked to who lives there said the locals avoid all the shit we were going to Vegas for like the plague. Assuming we'd be the same way if we lived there, once we looked at anything outside of the casinos/shopping/dining/nightlife/strip/etc, it didn't have much going for it. I mean, I'd definitely rather live there than California, but that's not saying much. Looking back, I'm really glad we talked ourselves off that ledge. We kind of outgrew Vegas over the last few years we went. Everything was starting to feel very "been there done that" and we found it less and less appealing every time we went. It changed, we changed, whatever...but it's just not our thing anymore. We haven't been since Covid and have no real desire to go back anytime soon, if ever. I can't imagine living there now.
  18. It’s great! Literally a more casual version of The Charles. I think y’all will love it.
  19. Just remember to pull the paper before you take pics for this thread, otherwise you'll lose your Italian card.
  20. The argument isn't which one you prefer. Of course we all prefer those 10s that simmer all day with the rind and all the other magic that makes those amazing. I'm talking about the fact that there are, in fact, times when you don't have time and/or just don't feel like fucking with that level, so there are 2 other levels that are just fine in a pinch...a 9 from scratch in an hour or an 8 from a jar in 15 mins.
  21. If you can’t make a 9 red sauce from scratch in an hour, you’re doing it wrong. The hours long ones are the 10s. And yes, I can do an 8 with the right jar sauce. I’ll put a couple different brands from my local Italian market combined with some of my own tweaks up against most peoples sauce from scratch all day long. Agree on the meatballs, parm and pasta though.
  22. But until they figure out a way to structure things equally, polls will always need to exist. There is not a single solution on earth that will change that except having equal conferences/divisions/etc like pro sports, which I never see happening.
