    How about Babcock?

    I know there are some Leafs fans on here.

     

    I've always liked the Leafs as my EC team. Sharpest uniform (all blue) in pro sports IMO. Surprised to see the firing but they've been pretty pedestrian this year and have high expectations.

  2. I am admittedly -- and ashamedly -- late to the Talking Heads party. I realize I've probably only scratched the surface too. Because "Burning Down the House" was my first exposure to Talking Heads, it didn't really grab me in the mid-80's. I was too far into my Cure, Smiths, REM, etc to pay much attention to Talking Heads. Holy crap was I wrong. David Byrne is a genius. My favorite part of Wall Street is the montage with TH's "This Must Be the Place" playing in the background. It works beautifully.

  3. Finally had this damn thing. Got a regular. Was pretty good though it was a tad dry (very little mayo). Not worth killing or fighting over. Probably not worth waiting very long in line for either. The location by Love Field was "Cash only" today so no telling what kind of scheme the employees were running.

    aggy cracks me up.

    "Probably used a racial slur. He deserved it."

    Johnny Football uses a racial slur against a black man:

    "He deserved it. Johnny is a hero."

    Quote

    In an appeal hearing with the NFL on Wednesday, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett alleged that Mason Rudolph called him a racial slur just prior to last week's brawl on "Thursday Night Football," sources told ESPN's Josina Anderson and Adam Schefter, an accusation the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback strongly denies.

    "Mason vehemently denies the report of being accused of using a racial slur during the incident Thursday night in Cleveland," Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said in a statement. "He will not discuss this accusation any further and his focus remains on preparation for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals."

    EDITOR'S PICKS

    On Wednesday, Rudolph told reporters he didn't say anything to provoke Garrett or escalate the situation.

    Contacted after the allegations were reported, Rudolph's attorney Timothy M. Younger said: "According to ESPN, in his appeal, Myles Garrett falsely asserted that Mason Rudolph uttered a racial slur toward him, prior to swinging a helmet at Mason's uncovered head, in a desperate attempt to mitigate his suspension. This is a lie. This false allegation was never asserted by Garrett in the aftermath of the game, never suggested prior to the hearing, and conspicuously absent in the apology published by the Browns and adopted by Garrett.

    "The malicious use of this wild and unfounded allegation is an assault on Mason's integrity which is far worse than the physical assault witnessed on Thursday. This is reckless and shameful. We will have no further comment."

    Garrett made the allegation as part of his initial comments during the appeal hearing in New York, sources said. It created an argumentative exchange between both sides about whether the allegation was permissible.

    When the allegation was made, appeals officer James Thrash remained stoic and took copious notes, sources said. He did ask Garrett a question about how he might act differently in the future, and Garrett conveyed he would not let events escalate like that again in the future.

    Garrett was suspended indefinitely for ripping off and swinging Rudolph's helmet, hitting the quarterback in the head with it, with seconds remaining in last Thursday's game. In announcing Garrett's suspension Friday, the NFL also said that Garrett would have to meet with the commissioner's office before being reinstated.

    Rudolph hasn't been punished over the incident, but a source told ESPN that a fine is expected. Rudolph said he would comply with whatever the league hands out.

    Sources told ESPN that Garrett had informed some in the Browns organization that he was going to assert some sensitive information as part of his appeal.

    A source told ESPN's Dan Graziano that Garrett also used a precedent-based argument during the appeal hearing, citing the NFL's punishment of former Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith, who was suspended in 2013 for two preseason games and one regular-season game for swinging his helmet at then-Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito.

    Garrett and the NFLPA also argued that an indefinite suspension is not permitted under the league's collective bargaining agreement, according to the source.

    Two other players were suspended from the brawl. Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey received a three-game suspension for punching and kicking Garrett, and Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi received a one-game suspension for shoving Rudolph.

    Ogunjobi's ban was upheld by Thrash on Wednesday. A decision on appeals by Garrett and Pouncey are expected to be issued this week.

    First off I am not one of those cauliflower every thing health nuts. But if you cook the cauliflower gnocchi right it is one of my favorite things to eat and is a low calorie filling meal. 

    Follow the pan fry directions exactly, once they have browned on a few sides, toss in some butter (or olive oil) sprinkle a little fresh parm on top and it's fucking better than some $30+ pasta dishes I have had at restaurants. 

    The key is getting the outside crisp, pull too early and it's soggy as shit.  

    Yeah, I tossed it in with the water and covered and let it sit. Got brown on bottom, not the rest. I think it was cooked through. Will toss in some butter next time. It wasn't bad. Wasn't great. But I like the cauliflower aspect enough to try again.

    Was he fired from Cleveland?

    Per Wiki:

    Quote

    In Belichick's last season in Cleveland, the Browns finished 5–11, despite starting 3–1.[30] One of his most controversial moves was cutting quarterback Bernie Kosar midway through the 1993 season. Kosar was signed by the Dallas Cowboys two days later and won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXVIII. In November 1995, in the middle of the ongoing football season, Browns owner Art Modell had announced he would move his franchise to Baltimore after the season.[31] After first being given assurances that he would coach the new team that would later become the Baltimore Ravens, Belichick was instead fired on February 14, 1996, one week after the shift was officially announced.[32]

    Interesting note is that Nick Saban was Belichick's DC in 1994 when the Browns went 11-5.

    This shit plus the cauliflower gnocchi and some spinach is a great quick weeknight dinner

    Picked this up tonight with quite a few other suggestions from this thread. I love gnocchi. The cauliflower is interesting -- definitely doable. Bought some raw spinach and cooked it on the side to eat with it. Is that how you do it? Or do you cook it and mix it in with the sauce and gnocchi. I tore up some prosciutto and cooked that in too.
