  1. There's a couple things that amaze me about all these dumb asses bashing on the Astros: 1. Right or wrong, cheating has been engrained into the fabric of the game of baseball for as long as the game has been played. People have been caught with pine tar, nail files, thumbtacks, corked bats, steroids, hacking into other teams' databases, etc. and yet you think the Astros are the only team that has cheated? You think the Astros are the only team engaging in sign stealing, something that has been part of the game since the beginning? That line of logic is just unfuckin believable to me. 2. Some former/current players/coaches have come out highlighting the fact I made above....that this kind of thing goes on everywhere. Yet the Astros haters online and all through social media don't buy this, they refuse to accept this shit that is coming directly from people who are or were directly involved in the game. Yet some random ass Yankee fan on Twitter presents a cockamamie theory about buzzers with absolutely ZERO proof or evidence and they treat it as gospel. Once again, that line of logic is incredibly stupid as shit. 3. I love how these people just love to throw around the words "tainted" or "asterisk" as if I or ever other Astros fan out there should give a shit that some ill-informed dumb ass online thinks our title is "tainted". Guess what....that championship ain't going anywhere. My great grandparents were season ticket holders with the Astros ever since they began playing in the Astrodome (I have their ticket stubs from the very first Astros game played there). My aunt worked for the Astros all through the 90s and into the 2000s as I was growing up and I took several road trips to Houston from SA every summer to go see the games with my Aunt. All this is just to say that my love for the Astros runs in my blood. And that joy and excitement that I had watching the Astros win the World Series against the Dodgers in 2017 is something that I will never forget and that I will cherish for the rest of my life and there is nothing that these dumb shits can do to take that away from me or any other Astros fan. You can say it's "tainted" all you want but guess what? We don't give a shit about your stupid opinion, neither the WS trophy nor that gold 17 WS pennant in the outfield are going anywhere. Forever champs, and the rest of the league can suck it! Houston vs everyone in 2020, can't wait to see the hate when we win it again this year.
  2. Got my silver lawn tickets, so pumped for my first Stones show! Wish I could have splurged a little bit for the Gold Circle tickets but I go too many shows to spend that much on just one.
  3. Just a few offhand from MyBookie: Will Demi Lovato use a mic stand or no mic stand for the national anthem? Who will be shown first during the national anthem? 49ers player/coach or Chiefs player/coach? Over/under for "brave" during the national anthem, 5.5 seconds How many wardrobe changes for J-Lo? Over/under at 2.5 Will an ad feature a same sex couple? How many ads will feature dogs? 2 of my favorites for fucked up comedic reasons? Will Lizzo show up in a disgusting thong? Will Demi Lovato re-enter rehab within 30 days of her national anthem performance?
  4. That's correct, it's not an inheritance tax. There is no federal inheritance tax and last I recall, there's only like 6 states that do impose an inheritance tax and not sure where you're at but Texas isn't one of them. Estate tax is a whole different thing but that's typically not on the beneficiaries. If you inherited a bank account or a regular brokerage account from him, that would not be taxable but the death benefit is considered taxable income just as any of his monthly TRS distributions would be considered taxable. You should receive a Form 1099-R with a code 4 in box 7.
  5. Sure, I get that sounds crazy in a vacuum. But there was another game earlier in the season (against Mike Fiers and the A's of all teams) where Altuve's jersey actually was ripped open (and there were no buzzers by the way) and he said the same thing about his wife. But apparently a little basic fact checking is too hard for these supposed "journalists". And if the Astros did use buzzers, why is that any worse than banging on a trash can? Under that scenario, the Astros would be using the same general methods to steal signs and transmit them to the batter, they're just using a different avenue with which to do so, it's insane to me that anyone thinks the buzz from a buzzer is any more cheating than the bang from a trash can.

    Love these guys, been listening to them for a couple months now. The day before Thanksgiving, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and came across the music video for Colors as a sponsored post. They're not really my typical genre of music at all but I really dug it so I checked out the tour dates to see if they were playing anywhere and lo and behold, saw that they were playing the free Longhorn City Limits show just 2 days later so that was pretty cool. I was very impressed with the show, Eric Burton is a great front man. Me and my buddy joked that you could make a shot game, taking a shot every time he said the word "Austin" but we probably would have been passed out by the 2nd song haha
  7. Imagine, a sport where cheating has been engrained into the fabric of the game for as long as it has been around....whether it be through using emory boards to scuff up balls by the pitcher, corked bats, using steroids, using pine tar (looking at you Mike Fiers you hypocritical piece of shit), hacking into other teams' databases, using Vaseline, gambling on games, using Apple Watches and other electronics in the dugout, etc.....and people act like the Astros are the ONLY team engaging in sign stealing? Like this is an Astros problem and not an MLB problem? Get the fuck out of here with that bull shit. Yes the Astros cheated, no they shouldn't have done it, yes they should be punished. But for them to get the punishment they did while others skate by and people still think they didn't get punished enough? FOH with all that asterisk shit
  8. Lol FFS dude. Mike Fiers says the Astros were cheating, it gets investigated and turns out he was right. But then when Logan Morrison says the same thing about your team, it's like, oh why should we believe him? The only benefit you get right now is that those claims haven't been investigated. Get a grip dude, I'm sorry you're piddly team that looks so good in the regular season continually chokes in the postseason and hasn't been able to close out a WS. What about this past year, were the Nationals stealing signs too? Which boogeyman hurt your team last year? The Astros cheated and should be punished, no argument from me here. But to be punished like they were and for others to claim that the punishment is not enough is asinine, it's not a secret that many other teams in the league are doing the same thing so if you want to start taking away rings, it's going to be a lot more than just the Astros losing theirs.
  9. I was in Tampa 2 weekends ago and went to the Bucs game against the Falcons and the Bucs have a male cheerleader as well which was....interesting. With it being the last week of the season, during their half time performance they called up and announced each member of the cheerleading staff individually and he definitely got the loudest ovation haha Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
  10. Welp according to Jay Glazer, the Cowboys have agreed to terms with McCarthy as our new head coach. Less than inspiring in my opinion
  11. People here are actually ok with hiring McCarthy?! Lol what the fuck, this is just fuckin sad Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
  12. For real, the dude is a completely useless piece of shit. They show him several times a game and I don't think I have ever seen him do anything or utter a damn word. It struck me watching the Thanksgiving game against the Bills....the few times they did show Sean McDermott on the sidelines, he was always coaching up his players or yelling out commands to the field and I realized, hell, I have never once in 10 years seen anything like this from Garrett. Then I'm watching the Patriots and I see Belichick on a knee near the bench with his O-line all huddled around him actually coaching them up. Then when we see the Cowboys play the Eagles, Doug Pederson has his head in his play sheet the whole time. You know.....actually doing his damn job. What the fuck does Jason Garrett do?! When have you ever seen this guy actually be a coach instead of a statue on the sideline only useful for hand claps and butt slaps? The thing that really amazes me, that really highlights what a useless pussy he is, is that this guy has been entrusted with the position of coaching America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys (something that used to actually mean something) and he knows his job is on the line, he knows that he is in danger of losing this opportunity and the fuckin guy still can't find it in himself to muster up some pride for himself and make an effort to do anything to coach this team and try to save his job. The dude is a straight up loser.
  13. You make a great point but the reason that everyone shits on the "comfort hire" so much is because the entire staff that TH brought in here was full of comfort hires and look how that worked out for us, most of them were unqualified for the job and it ended with half of them being fired, probably at least a year too late as well. Same thing happened to an extent with Charlie as well. We have PTSD here over comfort hires and rightfully so.
  14. What a bunch of pussies, "oh no, we're going to become Oregon now". Really? It's a fuckin shoe. Our program is turning into a dumpster fire and ya'll are over here complaining about what color cleats we're wearing
  15. Apparently it included several plays from last year as well. Embarrassing that we have to go back to last year just to show enough good plays, couldn't find enough from this year
  16. Well I hate to break it to you but you were wrong then, at least so far. I completely agree with you that it was a joke that he won the Thorpe that year when Deshon Elliot was better in almost every statistical category. Buttt Pittsburgh's defense completely turned around when they traded for Fitzpatrick. After a quick Google search....through his 1st 10 games with the Steelers, Minkah Fitzpatrick had "five picks, he's recovered two fumbles, forced a fumble, knocked down nine passes, and scored two touchdowns (a pick-six and a fumble recovery score)". He has 5th best odds for AFC defensive player of the year right now. Deshon should have won it though.
  17. Than OU?? 100% yes, how is that even a question lol Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
  18. Grace? She passed away 30 years ago! I pledge allegiance, to the flag.....
  19. Not to twist the dagger but fuckkkkk Paul George Says He Wanted 2017 Trade to Spurs to Team Up with Kawhi Leonard https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2863537-paul-george-says-he-wanted-2017-trade-to-spurs-to-team-up-with-kawhi-leonard
  20. At work so can't post anything from Twitter but my Dad just texted me this tweet from Bob Ballou "For the 5th time in 7 Big 12 games Texas does not score a touchdown in the first quarter. On Monday, I relayed the stat (4 in 6 games at the time) and asked Tom Herman why they were getting off to slow starts. Herman: 'I didn't even realize. It's not something we talked about'" What the actual fuck? You didn't realize that shit? You are the head coach of The University of Texas football program, you get paid millions and millions of dollars to know basic ass shit like that. We all realized it, how the hell did our own head coach not realize that? The gulf between the arrogant know-it-all perception that he tries to give off and the actual reality is incredible really. The guy is a complete baffoon. He's no better than Charlie. I held on to the Herman train longer than most but to hell with this dude now. He ain't the guy and never will be, he is completely incompetent in every way.
  21. Luckily I'll be at the game in Waco so I won't have to hear 3 hours of that story over and over again this year. Wait, I'll be at the game, I guess I'm not so lucky after all. Can't wait to drive 3 hours from SA to Waco to watch this ineptitude again. The alcohol will be flowing very heavily that night
  22. Right or wrong, I was actually on Kaep's side for the most part throughout this whole ordeal....I thought it was ridiculous that he didn't have a job in the NFL over a lot of the trash ass QBs in the league right now. I thought he should have had a spot on an NFL roster but after the shit he pulled this weekend, I'll admit I was wrong to ever give him the benefit of the doubt. The dude is a straight up fraud in every sense and I hope his stupid ass never sniffs an NFL field again. The NFL bended over backwards to provide NFL teams the cover of scouting him and giving him a chance and did it in a way that they have NEVER done for any other player before, by giving him concession after concession and yielding to his demands. He gets the chance that he has been whining about for the last 3 years....and not 5 days before when he first found out about it, not 4 days before, etc. etc., but the day of, decides to make a stink and move it to some high school field because the NFL finally refuses to yield to his overgrowing list of demands. He had exactly what he wanted presented to him, to shut up and show that your committed to being a QB in this league and he showed exactly why no team/owner wants him, because even a damn workout, he will find a way to turn into a giant distraction.
  23. What the hell? Based on what, you dumb ass? What did you see all game that made you confident in our ability to run the ball against them? Not to mention the stupidity of assuming 3 straight incompletions after what the offense did on the previous 2 drives after they finally abandoned the run game. This arrogant prick has his head so far up his own ass, I've lost hope on him ever being able to pull it out. This is not high level stuff, this is basic shit and 3 years into his stint here and 5 years into his career as a head coach and he still doesn't get it.
  24. I got the notification on my phone and couldn't help but crack a smile. I have doubt that it actually happens but please let this be true! I was never a big fan of the addition but had hopes for him that just hadn't panned out. He doesn't really fit Pop's system or really any system in today's game, it's time to move in a different direction.
  25. Mike Fiers-"I just want the game to be cleaned up a little bit" Also Mike Fiers-Getting caught using pine tar on his glove during his no hitter. The cheating is really not acceptable, I'm an Astros fan but I won't defend that. However, that does not change the fact that Mike Fiers is little bitch
