  1. RIP Branchwater. I think we usually walked there. Clark’s is great little restaurant in the Montrose. But of course, it’s valet only. I parked way in the back of the lot, out of sight from the valet stand. Sure enough, I’m walking into the restaurant and some valet runs up to me and tells me I must give him my keys and take a ticket. I just left. I parked in a little ditch at Rainbow Lodge on Friday. Moral of the story, fuck valet only.
  2. Yep. His reasoning for selling was so insanely shitty. Comes after the NFL for being overvalued, and then sells the Mavs a couple years from a new TV deal. He needed to get liquid fast.
  3. Again, based on Instagram, I think she met a fella. Got sober. Left BF. I’d say it’d very difficult to judge a bourbon/rye finish if you’re spitting into a bucket, but wine guys are doing it right now.
  4. Probably the GOAT at home steak side. Thank me later.
  5. People are weird. The guy across the hall from me at work went to Cy-Falls and he refuses to leave the Heights. Another guy down the hall grew up in Wyoming and loves Cypress. I dunno. I can’t really work anywhere else, so Houston is home.
  6. Grew up in Cypress. Had to move to Memorial because my wife demanded a pool. But I hear ya.
  7. Eastwood*. Jesus Apple.
  8. Itching for something I haven’t seen before. I’m a little light on Wastwood knowledge. Is Pale Rider worth $3.99?
  9. If we could have gotten a 3rd team in there to take salary, what was the price for Durant? All the Nets picks seems like a bargain for KD.
  10. Based on her Instagram, it looks like she’s gone through some shit. Pretty sure she’s sober now and her husband passed recently. Sorry to see it. Based on what I’ve seen and heard in interviews she seems like a wonderful person. I wish her well. Hopefully she has a protege working his/her way up the ladder at Brown-Forman.
  11. bump. I’m curious too. I can’t it make God Emperor.
  12. Man I mis Jackie. No more fruit bombs. No more cool cola notes. Just plain Jane what if aged OF100 12 years notes. That’ll be $200.
  13. It’s that time of the year again.
  14. Rainbow Lodge. I’ll give them credit for having balls and moving out of the current Brenner’s on the Bayou location. They saw the potential of Greater Heights before many real estate developers did. That said their Wild Game Mixes Grill is a shadow of Brennan’s and Hudson Bend (RIP). Game usually needs a nice sauce. To lightly season it, grill it, and serve it on top of grits doesn’t work. Very bland, lean meat. The Friday Burger is pretty good. Elk, bison, and ribeye. Good to great duck gumbo. They do quarts of gumbo to go for $18. Very reasonable lunch and happy hour menus. One pet peeve: parking is valet only. I get that they have a small lot, but this bullshit is an Inner Loop money grab city wide. There’s no reason to do it during non-peak hours.
  15. Thoughts and prayers. A guy I know finalized his divorce yesterday and is chasing it with going out for NAPE tonight. No arrest, safe place to sleep would be huge wins. No Friday HR call is probably a bridge too far.
  16. I remember Houston sports talk was debating Jalen Green for Ingram last summer. Some truly horrific takes.
  17. I think Terry is the first hire CDC has handled poorly. He never felt like a long term solution. A stopgap hire to keep all of Beard’s players. I’ll concede RT had some upside as a recruiter, but almost zero upside as a coach. They’re not playing in the Mountain West. Out-talenting teams was never going to work.
  18. I assume Tech is all in on the portal and given up on high school recruiting because yikes.
  19. Cooper unknowingly wearing dick pants on the Dan Patrick Show, and the family’s reaction could be a Curb Your Enthusiasm storyline.
  20. Holy shit. If we ever needed a reminder that TexAgs is the weirdest message board on earth, there it is.
  21. Amen is walking turnover right now. I don’t know what they can do with everybody hurt. He has to play a lot of minutes, so he has to play through it.
  22. The current set up is giant tent bolted to the parking lot. If memory serves, they don’t even bother with a temporary floor. It’s also a 30+ minute walk from NRG Stadium with all the foot traffic. There were rumors of lots of fights last year, so I’ve kept my distance. Gotta be young and really into live music to make a go of it.
  23. My bad. Nico engaged with Rob Pelinka. Pelinka told Rich Paul about the trade 48 hours in advance. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43676830/how-stunning-luka-doncic-anthony-davis-trade-came-together-los-angeles-lakers-dallas-mavericks
  24. Staples is such a Florida honk. He basically has them on the Tennessee 2024 path, a nice hollow 10-2 with losses to Texas and Georgia. Not dropping a 3rd game to the Vols, LSU, Miami, or Ole Miss is a very small needle to thread. I get it. They’re excited about Lagway, but there are 3 losses on their schedule. Tulane loses their best players to the transfer portal and they improve? No way. Clemson is a CFP lock with Klubs coming back in that dogshit conference. Illinois as the 2025 Indiana feels like a real thing. Beat IU + USC, and don’t get murdered by fOSU and they’re in. Goddamn I hate the Big Ten.
