    Had hurtado on Saturday... it was a B to B-. Everything seemed to be pulled too early in terms of rendering and tenderness. Good smoke flavor/ring but lacking in seasoning.

    Really nice ppl running it, almost an hour long line. Had mixed brisket, pork ribs, jap ched sausage. Best thing I had was hands down the hatch Mac and cheese, major kick to it.

    Interesting. I've only heard raves to this point. I know they're uber-occupied with getting ready to open the brick-and-mortar next weekend, maybe that had something to do with it.

  2. Anybody else find it odd Madison didn't bring up the virgin thing while Peter was in Auburn on his visit? I mean she and his family know it's an issue since we all know Pete fucked Hannah B four times in the windmill during the fantasy suite portion of last season's Bachelorette. I know the historical odds are heavily slanted against Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants ultimately marrying who they pick on this show but I think it's a certainty he doesn't wind up marrying Hannah Ann, Madison or Victoria.

    Cosign on the Al Biernat's happy hour.  

    It's pretty great. I haven't been to Drake's HH yet but it's my understanding it goes from 4-5 every single day, including weekends and cocktails (not sure if all or just Drake's signature drinks) and pizza are half price.

    What a surreal, extremely pathetic, detestable position to be in.

    Either tell the truth that you lied to the NFL in what you thought would be a confidential meeting, and get the Jussie Smollett treatment.

    Or,

    Double down and publicly assassinate someone's character, hope you don't get sued, have no one really believe you, but get to continue to hide behind the ambiguity of, "I know what I heard" despite all evidence to the contrary.

    Or you know maybe not even bring it up at all and just do your interview, show some contrition, accept your reinstatement and move on with life.

  5. Myles Garrett gun git sued at this pace. aggy don't lie, cheat or steal. Unless you're Myles Garrett.

    PITTSBURGH -- Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is calling Myles Garrett's assertion that he used a racial slur a "bold-faced lie," and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is supporting his quarterback.

    "1000% False," Rudolph tweeted after Outside the Lines aired a new interview with Garrett after the NFL reinstated the Cleveland Browns defensive end. "Bold-Faced Lie. I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur. This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character."

    In the interview with ESPN's Mina Kimes, Garrett said Rudolph used the slur as he was being sacked with eight seconds left in the Thursday night game on Nov. 14.

    Tomlin, though, strongly supported his quarterback in a statement issued Saturday morning -- an unusual move for a coach who rarely speaks publicly in the offseason.

    "I support Mason Rudolph not only because I know him, but also because I was on that field immediately following the altercation with Myles Garrett, and subsequently after the game. I interacted with a lot of people in the Cleveland Browns organization -- players and coaches," Tomlin said in the statement.

    "If Mason said what Myles claimed, it would have come out during the many interactions I had with those in the Browns' organization. In my conversations, I had a lot of expressions of sorrow for what transpired. I received no indication of anything racial or anything of that nature in those interactions."

    Rudolph's agent and attorney, Tim Younger, said the "defamatory" statements by Garrett exposed him to "legal liability."

    "We waited to hear the entire interview," Younger said. "Garrett, after originally apologizing to Mason Rudolph, has made the ill-advised choice of publishing the belated and false accusation that Mr. Rudolph uttered a racial slur on the night in question."

    EDITOR'S PICKS

    Garrett, who was reinstated by the league Wednesday after a six-game suspension, made the accusation against Rudolph during the interview with Kimes that aired Thursday night during SportsCenter.

    "He called me the N-word," Garrett told Kimes. "He called me a 'stupid N-word.'"

    In the interview, Garrett blamed Rudolph for starting the fight that led to $732,422 in fines and the discipline of 33 players, and said Rudolph used the slur as he was being sacked by Garrett.

    Rudolph initially engaged with Garrett on the ground, and then charged at him after Garrett forcibly removed Rudolph's helmet. Then, Garrett hit Rudolph over the head with it.

    "I don't say the N-word, whether it's with 'a' [or] 'er.' To me, personally, [it] just shouldn't be said, whether it's by family, friends, anyone," Garrett told Kimes. "I don't want to use it because I don't want [people to] find that appropriate around me for anyone to use.

    "When he said it, it kind of sparked something, but I still tried to let it go and still walk away. But once he came back, it kind of reignited the situation. And not only have you escalated things past what they needed to be with such little time in the game left, now you're trying to reengage and start a fight again. It's definitely not entirely his fault; it's definitely both parties doing something that we shouldn't have been doing."

    At the time, an NFL spokesman said the league "found no such evidence" that Rudolph used the slur.

    Garrett told Kimes that he believed there was recorded audio proving what Rudolph said.

    "There were guys who were mic'd up near me, near us, during that time who didn't hear anything," Garrett said. "And from what I've heard, there (might) have been audio during that game that could have heard something or could not have heard something, but they don't want to say."

    However, a league spokesman told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday that no sound from the field was recorded. The spokesman added that linemen are mic'd up to amplify ambient sound but that the mics do not record and are shut off after the ball is snapped.

    The NFL also released a statement Saturday noting that, after checking with the officiating crew, "no player on either team came forward to say they heard (Rudolph) say it on the field."

    Rudolph was fined $50,000 for his role in the incident. He appealed the fine, but it was recently upheld, a source told ESPN.

    The Steelers and the Browns were also each fined $250,000.

    Garrett first alleged Rudolph used the slur in an appeals hearing with the NFL in an effort to get his suspension reduced, ESPN previously reported. Garrett later said he never intended for the accusation to become public, but said, "I know what I heard."

    Rudolph strongly denied the allegation in November and called it "totally untrue."

    "I couldn't believe it," the quarterback said Nov. 24. "I couldn't believe he would go that route after the fact."

    That’s encouraging to hear CMan.

    You get the Macho?

    Actually, for the first time I didn't. I got the Macho Cheddar Cheezy instead and I think I preferred it to the Macho Tostada. Had plenty of beans in the pre-burger nachos.

    On Mi Ti’s, you are spot on.

    Chris Madrid’s, from what I’m hearing, has lost a couple of steps.  A relative of Chris’s opened another burger joint (name escapes me) and it is supposedly much better.  I’ll try and research that name for this discussion.  Intel I’m getting on Madrid’s is from CM die hards who have been going weekly for decades.  They don’t say it’s bad, just that it’s nowhere close to what it was.

    It's in my post just above. Chris's sister Diana opened Diana's Burgers. I hear it's great but it's not in a very good area of town, I don't think.

    My experience with CM over the holidays that it was pretty much as I remembered. Bear in mind I make it maybe once a year. The expanded outdoor seating is a plus. It was fucking packed the night we went the week after Xmas.

    Not what it was is the word I’m getting from reliable intelligence.

    I went over Xmas and thought it was still pretty fucking good. Much bigger seating area as well. Chris's sister opened Diana's Burgers and it's supposed to be excellent too.

    i would have responded with something like:  "You clowns haven't won a Stanley Cup since the NHL expanded from 6 fucking teams? Hell, even we've done that down here in Texas.  Yeehaw!"

    good win.  and yeah, Tyler could start scoring in bunches.

    The Leafs have been my Eastern Conference team since the late 1990's. Best uniform in sports IMO but TOR fans can be the biggest fucking cunts. Razor said it best on the Musers this morning when he pointed out the Leafs are universally-reviled by all of Canada outside of Ontario.

    Certain fake voices, particularly Irvin, would indicate George is significantly funnier than Donovan. Don’t let red dirt Jub fool you. 

    Well, we found out this morning that JubJub watches This Is Us.

    Especially with how damn impossible it is for kids to get in now. Off topic indeed but pretty much need t-shirt fan support going forward.   So I agree it's ok, unless it's Corby, because you can't flip flop support between teams in the same damn conference when you actually attended one of those schools.   I've seen his ass decked out in purple at a tailgate before Texas/TCU (the Charlie game they just destroyed us).

    He did go to TCU. That's better than his unabashed OU-fandom IMO.
