  1. Great pass Arch. Had to dodge a free rusher since our OL sucks.
  2. 340-108 in yards. So bad.
  3. QB draw? That’s the adjustment?
  4. The line play on all sides is the issue right now.
  5. Sack up guys. It’s one drive.
  6. WTF is Campbell doing? You are down 9. That’s two scores.
  7. Why did ISU go for 2 on their first touchdown and then for the PAT on their second? Now they’re down 2 scores. Either be aggressive with 2 pointers or don’t.
  8. This is just inviting the vampires into the house. It will not work out for the consumer and that sucks.
  9. We watched the first episode. About 5 minutes into the second, I said "I can't watch this anymore" and my wife agreed. It is just trying WAY too hard.
  10. We did, went in August. We had a great time. After 2 days, our 5 year old told my wife, "I thought they were talking weird, but now I know that's just the way they talk here." To see his world open in that moment was very cool and about 99% of the reason to bring the kids. If you're going with family, let me know and I can throw a couple of things your way. As far as the language, pretty much everyone you interact with speaks good English. Whenever we went anywhere, out of respect, we would always great them in French and try to ask what we needed in French as well ("quatre pains au chocolat, s'il vous plaît", etc), but as soon as there was a mispronunciation or wrong inflection, they would switch to English. It's just a generational thing for younger French people. They don't care.
  11. Got it. Then if you're someone who wants to hit the high points, for sure do it. I would caution against spending too much time in the Louvre or Orsay. They're both great, but you can really get lost in there and there is so much more to see. A few suggestions other than the obvious: - Like I said, the Rodin Museum is my favorite museum. Much more relaxed. You can also to L'Orangerie if you're into Monet/impressionists. It's a quick museum and near the most touristy area, so easy to fit in. Also, the Picasso is close to you in the Marais. I haven't been in a long time and don't remember it well, but take a look. - Do a walking food/wine tour. There are a bunch of options and they should take you to the markets, cheese shops, wine shops, chocolate shops, etc. A great way to get a feel for the city - Grab sandwiches or bread/cheese and spend some time relaxing in a park. Luxembourg Gardens is the my favorite - Make sure to eat as many pastries as you can. They just hit different there. Also, for gelato, Bethillion on Ile Saint Louis is still the best.
  12. Season 2 is out. We've watched the first 3 and they're hilarious.
  13. First time going? Going with kids? My favorite museum in Paris is the Rodin museum. It's a nice respite from all of the activity around the city. Easy to get into and has a nice outdoor cafe to have a relaxed lunch. Agree somewhat with PW on the Eiffel. If you've already done it, probably not worth the hassle. They've put up a bunch of barriers, presumably from the Olympics. It was already a pain to get out there and it only makes it worse to navigate once you're there. If you want to do some wine and cheese on the mall in front of the tower, that's always nice, but not much need to go up it. St Germain/Latin Quarter are my favorite areas. Fun to walk around. Feels more local than the main touristy areas. The Marais is great to walk around as well. As far as food, Frenchie is excellent and we had a great meal at Pink Mamma's when we were there last month. There is a speak easy in the basement for a pre or post drink.
  14. You keep saying this and it’s obviously true but different set ups benefit different teams/players. I’m not going to pretend I understand all of the nuances, but the No Laying Up guys have been very critical of the set up and Keegan even said it didn’t work to their advantage. It’s a mistake at a home Ryder Cup.
  15. Why are they interviewing a Euro ,instead of I don't know, showing golf?
  16. THAT'S what it takes. Credit to JT
  17. JT wants to be the leader so bad. These are the putts he has to hit.
  18. Huge putt from Young. He may have that dog in him that we’re missing. Hopefully he keeps his form and can give us a few more Ryder appearances.
  19. Can we please stop pretending with Allar? It’s been 3 years now. It’s not happening.
  20. Just the stupidest rule
  21. This for sure. No matter what you think about the first exchange, for him to hit that putt after just shows what kind of mentality he brings to the Ryder Cup.
  22. What an asshole. The player should be able to go back after him. The idea that a fan can say and do what they want and the players have to be the bigger man is bullshit. If you want to talk shit, suit up.
