  1. It’s my favorite, too. Everything on it is sublime but the Carter Burwell score is a particular standout.
  2. Why would he need to sell the owner that the ALCS loser in game seven, and which hasn’t lost any key contributors from that team, can win a ring next year? Crane has always said he would spend into the tax if it makes sense and he did. I’m not trying to give Crane credit for doing the obvious, either. You seem to think Brown is worthy of praise for some reason, though, and I think the only record there really is to go on are his hires in the front office and his minor league FA signings and end of roster chum, and I’m not particularly equipped to judge those for good or ill.
  3. Crane has been front and center on the extension-what are crediting to Dana? I said a variation of when Hader signed, but this is yet another data point that Crane is exerting more control that what we saw under Luhnow or Click.
  4. Not that I would credit the Democratic leadership for pulling something off this complicated and risky, but it seems like this is something this is what they would have preferred in the first place, kind of a “Don’t throw me in the briar patch.” kind of maneuver. Immigration remains available as policy leverage with a the GOP for something that the Dems want more.
  5. That does help contextualize the move to Fulshear. Seems like an ideal place to move hillbilly heroin. Not to go CR, but I'm imagining notorious Paxton super fan @YGIFS reading the thread and making a connection that the AG investigation is leverage on the cartels who lost money in World Class Holdings.
  6. Well, for one Fulshear is where you move to when you've decided Katy has gotten too liberal and you don't yet have money for 10 acres in Bastrop with a disaster bunker. Not a slight on the kid, but it makes his parents a little weird.
  7. This-it wouldn’t be a shock at all to see Montero have a better year.
  8. We haven’t talked about this but it’s fundamental, in my opinion, to the continuing reduction in A paper Jumbo programs in the correspondent space.
  9. For me he is a Texan Nancy Mace. The moments of clarity are mainly when it’s convenient to prove their anti-establishment bonafides, i.e., there’s very little political risk to be out on that ledge.
  10. Not only was he still working but he hadn’t lost anything off his fastball.
  11. Haha, I did a loan for a guy who built a house in Granbury around the time of the Cruz-Beto election (he was retiring and lived previously in Georgetown but it had gotten too liberal). He described Granbury as "Heaven--you won't see one Beto sign in the whole town."
  12. Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but the average age on this board is probably 50. If a teenager is reading it’s purely out of old people mockery or out of curiosity to read what weird old people talk about. You know who does think teenagers, particularly blue chip football players, hang on their every word? TexAgs.
  13. The fact that dude isn’t dead of a heart attack is a testament the incredible medical community in Houston.
  14. I actually think it’s brilliant. Netflix is already trying to push subscribers into an advertising tier and I bet the analytics are showing everyone else that they HAVE to do so to keep up and CAN do so under the cover of Netflix resetting the marketplace expectation. Plus, I’m convinced that Amazon programs for Gen X and older males almost primarily and we never got “unused” to broadcast commercials because we’re the prime sports audience consumers.
  15. I think ya’ll should ask Gerry but preface it with “we all know that Rivals/Orangebloods is the only truly accurate ranking, am I right?”
  16. So CSB alert, but I was doing a five day Prolon fast with a group a few years ago and my first meal after the fast concluded was at Pieous. I ordered five pizzas, a pound of pastrami, and probably ate about half of everything. The stomach distress to follow, however, took years off my life.

    Ah, that Hershey meeting--I just got chills remembering Hamm's performance and the amazing writing. I recall thinking that Joan was just done with Don's self-centered behavior after Jaguar, even if those decisions made her better off. It was that he took control and made those decisions for everyone else that caused the bitterness.
  18. Ah yes, the first rule of fortune cookie writing is to allude to two opposite outcomes so your predictions are never wrong.

    Burgers

    I think it's really dry, but I also abstain from cheese and condiments on a burger so that's probably also to blame.

    I really like June’s All Day, although when I went last week the updated cocktail menu was disappointing and kind of out of season (ingredients and recipes looked like summer leftovers). I also want to try Chapulin Cantina because Oaxaca cuisine is the best.
  22. I was going to bring up “trust the coaches” as up there with “Natty” on the list of things Longhorns* shouldn’t say but I didn’t want to pick on any recent offenders. *Aggies, by comparison, can’t help themselves.
  23. Not to be an external skeptic but I recall feeling this way about post-Muschamp Mack hires. On the opposite side, I think Sarkisian (regardless of what he’s paid and did last year) has a lot less institutional leverage and if it ends up being a mediocre hire he’ll get pressure to upgrade. As @SydneyCarton mentioned, I do like the DL coach on the Dolphins and Fangio is a top tier coordinator. If we’re hiring based on what they’ve done over the last 12 months then it’s comparable to a Wright hire without the legacy story.
