Yeah, the #3 seed means a home game against Broncos or Chargers. #4 seed gets Baltimore or Pittsburgh, then @KC in the second round.

2024 Houston Texans Season Thread
We could pass the Steelers/Ravens, especially if KC sits Mahomes next game against us. Our offense isnt exactly firing on cylinders, if the plan is to sit CJ for the next 3 weeks.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Good set of B cups is great, except when they’re keeping you from a spectacular set of C cups you’ve had some nice initial experiences with, just sitting over there waiting to be motorboated.

- McKinsey to Pay 650M To Defer Prosecution in Purdue Pharma Case
The article said they were paid $93m over 15 years for multiple products, not just oxycontin. So their dealings with Purdue were a loss, but better than execs going to pound me in the ass prison?- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Tucker gladly would've signed a 8+ year deal at $50m/yr in previous years if we bypassed his final years of club control and he went straight to $50m. He wasn't signing a deal like the extensions Yordan and Bregman signed in the past.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
George Springer's looking pretty good now, eh fellas?- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Yeah, please take our trash too, Chicago! Sounds like their offer was just Paredes and Smith and we worked to get Wesneski added. Hopefully it works out in 2026 and beyond.- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York
I've been through several *device* approvals (or rather, clearances) with FDA. FDA's primary charge is safety, so they default to being conservative on the preclinical and clinical data they want before letting products hit the market. They charge user fees and others to companies applying, in addition to their demands of data that can cost $100k's for the most simple products, to $10m's on the high end. These costs come after years of product development, where many products in the pipeline fail due to not working or risk of not making it past the FDA. The typical FDA review group is a manager (who will be working for a Pharma company in 3-5 years), an experienced reviewer who is a lifer and satisfied with being a career federal employee, and 3 or 4 eager and inquisitive young scientists fresh out of grad school with little perspective on industry or how their tangential questions result in major $$$ to the applicant company. It's very challenging for new, smaller companies with limited money and resources to break through. This hampers innovation and competition. It's also why big dogs have hundreds of employees in the regulatory department to strategize and try to streamline the process and minimize time and cost to get to market. What level of safety risk is the American public willing to accept if we direct the FDA to be more lenient (and less expensive) on approvals? Other countries benefit from USA innovation in drugs and medical devices. FDA approval/clearance (or the data you acquired to get it) gets you 90+% there towards approval in foreign countries. American patients pay for the innovation and FDA approval costs through higher prices than are paid elsewhere. We can cap prices or profits, but there will be undesirable effects. There are a lot of levers to pull that impact expensive healthcare is in America (pharma/device company profits, insurance company profits, FDA regulation, physician costs, medical school costs, etc. etc.). I stepped on a couple Surly doctors' toes in an earlier post that suggested physicians' income and fees were one of those levers.- Skeleton Crew (Star Wars Disney+ show)
I watch the animated content but don't read the books and comics. Apparently "Crimson Jack" is a space pirate during the rise of the First Order (25-30 years after Skeleton Crew). I don't know if/what the connection is. Probably just another fake alias Jude Law's character uses.- Skeleton Crew (Star Wars Disney+ show)
The show is set in year 5 ABY, meaning about 24 years after Order 66. If the character is even close to Jude Law’s age (51), he’s older than Ahsoka and may be closer to Anakin’s age.- Texas 2025 SEC schedule
SEC did a solid for ACL and F1 with no October home games.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
I'd prefer something like this (trading Framber for Correa, taking Springer off the Blue Jays' payroll, flipping Tucker for top prospects, trading Chaz and/or Jake for whatever they can get) over paying Bregman $400m. Someone send Dana a link to this thread.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
The Astros had the #3 to #7 highest payroll last year depending which site you look at, and are sitting in the top 10 for 2025 before resigning Bregman or whatever they end up doing. It's not like we have the A's, Rays, or Pirates ownership. They shipped prospects to get Verlander back in 2023 and to get Kikuchi last season, and haven't restocked the shelves. Crane burned himself with the Abreu and Montero contracts, but all of us were thinking Abreu was going to be crushing a lot of dingers to the Crawford boxes when he signed. It would be nice if Crane admitted he made a mistake and spent an extra $30m more than he planned to in 2025 to offset the dead money of those two contracts. Mega contracts in baseball are never worth it. You'll get some good years and some bad years, but you'll be paying top dollar every year. By the end, it's just a money sink that really only NYY, NYM, and LAD seem to be able to afford.- CEO of UHG Shot and Killed in NYC - WTF is wrong with you New York

- FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Effectively yes, but the committee could lower them and they are only guaranteed a bye if they are in the committee’s top 4 conference champions. The committee dropped FSU to 5th last year based on the QB being out.- FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Learning from FSU, Georgia will wait until after the rankings are announced to report Beck has a torn UCL and punter blew out his ACL.- 2024 SEC Championship Game: Texas vs. Georgia - 3pm on ABC
Quinn throws off his back foot 90+% of the time. His elite arm talent allowed him to thrive in spite of poor mechanics in high school and against poor college defenses. Sark and offensive staff probably should’ve worked on this the past 3 years to make him better for Texas and his draft stock. When he’s under pressure from a rush, dealing with an injury, and/or in a high pressure situation, it gets magnified and he floats balls.- 2024 SEC Championship Game: Texas vs. Georgia - 3pm on ABC
Arch at QB improves those rushing numbers through his runs as well as opening things up for Wisner due to threat of Arch run.- 2024 SEC Championship Game: Texas vs. Georgia - 3pm on ABC
If Sark is getting scared/conservative here because he can’t trust Ewers, then Ewers shouldn’t be playing.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
