    Forget trading him for a PG. Pay him to be a fucking problem, because he is a fucking problem.

    When the national guys were publicly begging the Rockets to trade Tari I knew they either really liked him or they were worried about him, maybe both. Simmons did the same shit with Alpie before he blew up.

    I’m not sure how they address point guard, but it shouldn’t involve Tari. They can probably get what they need with some protected picks.

    Nice smooth ass kicking and an early flight back. Can’t beat that.

    I cannot figure out how he was not fired last off-season as he is the epitome of a JAG. I would take Utah’s new head coach, with all of one win under his belt after their bowl game, before McGuire. Heck I’ll take three toes in Boulder before him. Tech employing him is good for the small cadre of teams trying to have good football programs in the Big XII.

    He’s extremely personable and likable. All of their money guys loved him… until today.

    Tech playing in the Big 12 title game was the very public standard they put out there before the season. Mission accomplished. He’ll get another year.

    I also don't see why everyone wants to rest starters - we still have to win to be the 5 seed. Isn't playing the AFC North champ the best path? Neither are that scary, compared to the 6 seed (hot ass Jax team) or 7 seed (Pats)

    Jaguars and Texans play at the same time. I’m sure there will be some scoreboard watching, but I’d expect both teams to play their starters until they get some clarity.

  4. Is there any buzz out there for a JD SiBBP store pick? Specs had a great one in 2021. I bought every bottle I could find and drank all of them. Spec’s and Total Wine are near me. Goody Goody and Twin are reasonable drives. Houston guys, any good local picks at smaller stores?

  5. I’m pretty happy about the KC21. It was the only bottle that I was surprised to see. I loved the 15, and 21’s reviews are pretty stellar.

    Really odd nobody would touch it ahead of me in line. It sells for $220 at Spec’s and secondary is currently about $400. That’s a tidy profit for a flipper, but I guess the initial investment is too high.

    The pick ‘em table was trash this year. Every single bottle on the table was on the shelf the day before.

    Their store pick prices are shameful. Woodford Double Oak for $101 was particularly egregious.

  6. Luigi’s is the best pizzeria in Midtown in my opinion. It’s right next door to Axelrad too. Tough to beat that combo.

    Home Slice is unique in that not many pizzerias offer cold subs.

  7. Goode Co Taqueria is supposed to have the best quail in town. While it was quite good, absolutely savage to serve it without a butter/white wine dipping sauce.

    lol so there’s no limit? Makes even less sense to stand on line…

    Limit went off at 3pm. My buddy got in line at about 130pm in Houston. Limit goes off while he’s in the store and ended up a case of Weller 12 and the ER10 picks.

    I stayed pretty disciplined at still spent $500+. Handle of a BT pick, Saz 90 pick, Issac Bowman pick, KC21, and a Blanton’s Gold.

    They were out of ErR and W12 when I got in line at 4pm.

    It’s so frustrating knowing they sit on these cases all fucking year just to ship them out to three stores.

    Yep. I was about 40th in line for Heaven Hill 90 on some random Friday a few weeks ago. They gave out 36 bottles. If they put out 1 or 2 more cases, I get a bottle comfortably.

    Similar results for 1924 and Thirteenth Colony Cask Strength Double Oaked.

    Less than 400 people in Irving as of 5am this morning. What a shift from last year when there was way over 1000. Bet Spec's didn't see this coming. Maybe this will cause them to rethink and maybe release shit during the year like every other fucking retailer.

    This. Their single barrel and store pick program has fallen off tremendously. It’s difficult to dial it in if you only make picks once a year, and if you’re making dozens of picks at the same time.

  11. Is avoiding Baltimore a past trauma thing or they getting healthy on defense? Plus Lamar is hurt/hedging his bets until he absolutely must came back for the Ravens to make a run.

    Yes Henry is a problem, but we’ve had past success against him. And the Ravens defense is horrible.
