  1. Simone Biles is not the GOAT. You don't get to be the GOAT when you let your teammates and country down. If I had a daughter who watched this I would use it as a talking point about mental toughness and perseverance in the face of adversity.

    As I got older I never seriously considered it when people said this generation is soft or wont be prepared for the real world because I never saw things like this happen. There is an entire generation now seeing first hand that it is OK to quit when things get tough. And it isn't just this example. Others have happened recently too and this attitude is spreading. Everyone feels at one time or another that the weight of the world is on their shoulders especially in sports growing up. You use that experience to become a stronger person. Playing sports has helped me immensely throughout life because there is always adversity and it isn't always going to be easy.

    Most importantly I was taught you never leave your wingman, you never let your teammates down. Ever.

    And now not only is it OK to do that, it is celebrated.

    I think for the PAC it shouldn't be about increasing the size of the pie necessarily but about expanding into the central timezone to gain more visibility on the national stage. Add a couple of programs like Tech and  OkSt that are respectable enough to keep the pie relatively the same size but now you have kickoffs that people on the east coast might actually see.

    Agreed. The Pac needs to be careful. They need to add tech and okst, not for tv revenue but for continued viability as a league. All these leagues need to get to 16 asap. If they dont they leave themselves open to purging. Hell the sec may snatch up their flagship programs if they are not careful.

  3. The name they chose reeks of this day and age. It is horrible.

    Cleveland Wild Things would have been my choice.

    For the truly dark and dry humored,

    Cleveland Reparations

    We go down to 72, but usually not any lower. The problem isn't so much the temperature, but the humidity in Houston. I'd be fine with the house at 78, but I frequently have to turn the temperature down to reduce the humidity in the house. 

    It doesnt seem intuitive at all but temperature and humidity are actually inversely proportional not directly.  You actually raised the relative humidity in your house.

  5. Friends has aged surprisingly well. Damn that show is funny. Agree with most. I grew up with cheers mash and seinfeld so I have my biases. Curb has some of the hardest laughs I have ever had. Office and 30 rock also great with many good episodes but they fall off in later years. I thought seinfeld just kept getting funnier as the seasons progressed.

  6. Long story short. We bought new kitchen cabinet doors and are having someone paint the cabinets and install the doors. He started yesterday and we changed our minds and want concealed door hinges.  I just need a link to some the dont require us to bore a hole in the doors. I ordered some for today but the guy said those wont work. Shaker doors. Pretty standard 1990s kitchen cabinets. I will need to order tomorrow for Saturday. Links to amazon or home depot or Lowe's preferable. 

  7. I cant imagine the intensity of their pain right now. Losing a parent or spouse is one thing. A horrible thing no less. But losing your child or sibling, I cant think of what is worse. So sorry Sam. I am so sorry. Gonna hug my son extra tight tonight.
