  1. My rankings of the cheap 100 proof bourbons. 1) OF100 2) Tom Moore BiB 3) Benchmark Bonded As Bert outlined in some previous posts, Tom Moore BiB is an outstanding value pick. It’s a handle of 1792 BiB for $22. I think you’d have to work for Barton to tell the difference in a blind tasting.
  2. I think almost any bartender would recommend 100 proof bourbons for cocktails. You might as well buy OF100 it’s only $8-9 more than 86. Jackie Zykan let it slip once that tbeh blend 8 year distillate in OF100. It’s excellent.
  3. I’m warming on the official podcast. Vince has appeared in every episode and Rhea has been in 2 of the 4. There’s a bonus episode with Helen. It’s an inside baseball look at how they made the show. No theory discussion unfortunately, but still interesting.
  4. Washington was the genuine article. A giant riding in on a white horse to save the day at the last second must have been an incredible sight.
  5. Chiefs maybe started to figure it out today. Play really good defense, pound the rock with Hunt until the WRs start running open. Need to beat the Colts in the road.
  6. Iris de Rode has to be the best looking historian in history.
  7. Small quibble. The Aryan Brotherhood does not exist outside of the federal prison system. There are wanna be gangs in state prison like the AB of Texas. They’ve been pretty quiet since a 2006 RICO trial. Mike was in Callahn’s gang. To just casually say he’s AB is kind of lazy writing because Kingstown is a state prison. But hey it’s Sheridan. The warden is growing on me. Edie Falco portrays a pilled out antihero well. An interesting podcast on how the streets and prison are very different ecosystems.
  8. Cooper’s girlfriend just said hold my Modelo.
  9. Honestly, I’d take a split. Suns are playing well, unfortunately, and GSW on the road is a Rockets black hole. Jazz are also playing well. Playing them in bizarre back to back in SLC on Sunday and Monday.
  10. Agreed. He’s averaging 36 minutes a game. Need to push that down to around 30.
  11. Whatever happens with Lane, he should coach his team through their playoff appearance.
  12. Kind of shitty. At least sneak him in a luxury suite so he can see his son run out for Senior Day in person. I completely understand not putting him on the field.
  13. So the million dollar question is did Lane always prefer LSU over Florida, or did the Gators fumble the bag? I’ll will myself to listen to Andy Staples’ podcast to listen to his spin.
  14. I’ll probably get flamed, but The Apprentice is a terrific movie that has a Succession prequel vibe that I enjoyed. Stan is a revelation, and Strong is excellent as always. Strong is so method I shudder to think about his preparation to play Roy Cohn. New York in the 70s was an interesting place. Available now in Amazon Prime.
  15. Beating a dead horse here, but they signed DFS for this very instance, Durant being unavailable. I’m pretty frustrated.
  16. Has anybody ask the CFP committee if Texas is being evaluated against the 2 loss teams? If not, they lied through their teeth about encouraging big time OOC games. That said, our season ended at Florida. We can lie to ourselves to make it feel better, but it was over October 4th. The only thing in front of this team now is preventing aggy from playing for the SEC Title.
  17. I assume the Mother Club still exists,
  18. I would suggest binging it. Just works better. Puts you fully in it.
  19. 4 hour game. Thanks a million live sports keeps the lights on at ABC.
  20. The Yahoo Sports hoops guys hit the Rockets-Nuggets comparisons pretty hard this week, and I think we saw it last night. They’re just a more developed version with statistically the greatest center of all time. What gives me hope is that we have Durant, and Amen or Reed could emerge as All NBA players down the road. I believe Jokic is shooting in the high 70s from mid range, and over 90% near the basket. He’s a problem if he just catches it inside the arc. As good as OKC is, they were lucky to escape the WCF. I hope and pray we don’t see either until the conference finals.
  21. Kind of concerning they largely outplayed us with Braun out. He could turn a playoff game. Durant needs to play about 30 minutes a game. Full stop. An ambitious Chronicle reporter needs to meet a Rockets trainer in a Methodist parking garage and get DFS’ medical records. This shit is ridiculous. 14 games in and the we have no idea on even a timeline. .
