  1. Is your wife pregnant? Only reason to eat a green thing .
  2. Are you the guy eating a Philly cheesesteak at IHoP? Practically all of them outside of Philly North NJ are shit, made with frozen Sysco chopped beef planks on shitty rolls. Or they ate at Geno’s or Pats in Philly which is like eating at Joe T Garcias. in Philly I usually go to John’s Roast Pork store. His cheesesteak is also one of the best I’ve had. the best I’ve had is at Taliercio’s Ultimate Gourmet in Red Bank, NJ. Made with their house roasted prime rib, imported aged provolone, garlic semolina bread. It was $30 back then, gotta be more now. They are all over Facebook. Best sandwich store I’ve ever been to.
  3. Talk about an overrated dish, instead of restaurant, is the Philly cheesesteak. Most places it’s a horrible thing to eat, even in Philly. In Philly the thing to get is a pork with broccolini sandwich, with long hots.
  4. I don’t think Pittman got that ultimatum. He used up all the goodwill he earned with his turnaround using Bielema and Chad Morris recruits and superseniors. The team has been lazy, inept, out of shape, and stupid; basically a reflection of the coach. The loss at Memphis to yet another G5 school was the nail; they waited a week to fire him on the bye. if he got that ultimatum it was last season and he stuck with this crew. he had a weird clause that if his overall record went below .500 he would get 50% of his remaining contract. If over he would get 75%. Basically $7 mil vs $10 mil. Sexton is spinning that sam magnanimously agreed to a 62.5% number to help the program. What they fail to mention is the offset clause was removed meaning he doesn’t have to go get a job to get his money.
  5. Tyson himself guaranteed the basketball NIL and salary for Calipari. The Walton fortune is not that interested in college sports but there are a lot of UA execs that will give when they have a coach who isn’t a buffoon. (One story is that Calipari made introductions to boosters that Pittman somehow never met). There’s a shitton of money in the state that will step up if they believe they will see results. with the SEC going to 9 games there will be additional slots in the CFP, until the SEC figures a new direction. It’s a state with one program and no pro teams which is an advantage. There is money to raise that has not been tapped because the AD and HC were inept and indifferent to NIL. The athletic dept is successful in every sport but football; their minor sports are dominant crews. The right guy can do well there but they will likely fuck it up.
  6. John Tyson is who recruited and funded Calipari. Arkansas will get the money for players if they bring in the right coach. Lots held back because it was a waste with Pittman. Will the AD survive? Lots of blame on him right now.
  7. I thought once they settled down the o line did a helluva job last night against a strong Packer front 7. They did that down 2 ol starters.
  8. Petrino fired the DC and two d assistants this morning before 800 am. He doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks. Pittman should have fired this idiot dc a year ago.
  9. At one time La Familia was one of the best operated restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. We ate there often when we moved back in the mid 00’s. The owner ran front of house like a machine, greeted every customer at the door and after a few visits knew your name. Service was impeccable, like a high end fine dining joint, and the food was the best TexMex I ever ate, and his grilled items were fantastic. usual story. He ran it like el jefe and didn’t really delegate, so when he got sick the family fucked it up. It declined and they sold it but it was never the same.
  10. Pittman will likely be fired by tomorrow as it’s their bye week. It’s been a mess since Petrino’s wreck. Their program is strong except football, great facilities. Right AD and coach and the big money will be there.
  11. They’re on the bye so speculation is Pittman will be fired Sunday along with the DC, and Petrino becomes interim. The 30 day portal opens but few takers at this point in season, and anyone that played five games can’t redshirt. they have strong programs in basketball and baseball, along with the minor sports. Pittman has made football a trainwreck again. The AD is now under pressure as well.
  12. A bunch of minor celebs are dumped in Morocco for training with some special forces dudes. It’s the 4th season. This season johnny Fucking Football jussie Smollett (please get blowed up) Kody Brown of Sister Wives Theresa Guidice some others
  13. Campo Verde was a weird joint. Ate there back in the 80’s and it was the worst fucking Mexican food I ever ate. That includes Mexican food in Wisconsin and Massachusetts. It wasnt TexMex, or any regional Mexican; it was like something made on Mars in the 60’s. Got dragged back around 08 by someone saying “oh they fixed it; it’s yummy now!”. Not. By then they had loaded it with filthy christmas decorations that launched big dust bunnies when the ac came on, and the food still sucked. Also they allowed smoking because it’s Pantego. It reeked. They closed it down even though there is this weirdo contingent of superfans who loved the Christmas lights. so last year moose benhamacht bought it and cleaned it up. The building should have been condemned probably. He owns the excellent Cafe Americano in Arlington. He cleaned it up, kept about half the lights, and the train, and brought a new menu of more expensive Mex Tex and Mexican influenced dishes. Of course the OGs who flooded the place on its reopening in May pissed all over it. so he’s always a tweaker on his concepts; yanking losers off his menu and trying new shit fairly quickly. So he’s figured out that he underestimated the problems with the old clientele and their shitty tastebuds and decided to milk it thru Christmas then shut down and do a total remodel for a new unknown concept in 26. it’s the same issue with the folks that bought Pulidos and Margie’s, changing recipes and the menus. You can’t by some brands and change them. If someone bought Joe T’s and made a change it would be a disaster. But cattleman’s benefitted from Taylor Sheridan’s acquisition.
  14. Cool! Le Bernadin is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at, along with French Laundry and Commanders Palace. That has to be a great experience and will be great in his CV.
  15. We binged it thru all of the eps. The finale is Wednesday. I would have liked an episode on the CIA and then one doing background of the contestants, showing them in their current situations. One is a chef for the NY Jets, various exec chefs and sous chefs with serious CVs, and some private chefs. It was hard to get a feel for them in the show. the show is good but some of these cooks are out of their league compared to others. I would perhaps liked it with a bit older folks as some of them were really immature in terms of cooking and hospitality. Best ep is the brigade one where they run a restaurant and get all kinds of curveballs. I thought about going to cia and my old man had me do some work in fancy joints in Memphis. Back then these dudes worked like dogs for no money. After a few weeks washing pans, prepping shit, and a little line work when slammed I decided on college. i did not know they have a campus in San Antonio. The one in California is magnificent; wife and I took a tour.
  16. Eberflus is the issue not Micah being gone. He has them in zone 100% of plays. Only rushes 4 like 98%. Put em in man, manufacture blitzes, and maybe it changes. He is a terrible coach.
  17. Her name is Jen. Bert out kicked his coverage. And she has borne him kids and stayed with him thru his drunkenness at Arkansas. For a while she was the hottest wife in the SEC but the completion was women or men like Les Myles wife err husband whatever.
  18. We can only hope. What’s the cap hit if he gets dreaded?
  19. Tom Thumb has pork butts for 85 cents a pound. I bought three. One to grind up. One cut into smaller roasts for the crock pot. One for the smoker with kid.
  20. Tyler Smith is turning into the next Zach. $24 mil apt. Signed him early instead of waiting. I’m fine with it.
  21. The footwork went from bad to worse. I think he’s got a ways to go.
  22. I’m not jumping Jerry’s leg because I was against him paying him the $40 mil that was offered. He should have been traded for picks back before the draft. You can’t pay three guys half the cap, especially when one is a basket case mentally before any truly big game, and a head case pass rusher who lacks the stamina for a 20 game season, has one playoff sack, and can’t defend the run. this D can’t stop the run which is the primary requirement of championship defense in the nfl. 11 was part of that failure four four seasons. Scheme alone can’t stop the run but one can manufacture pressure, as Eberflus did in the second half. Both Ben Johnson and Dan Campbell expressed more relief that Kenny Clark was gone than fear of parsons. can’t judge trades until all the picks are made but if cowboys draft pro bowlers as they do better than anyone then they’ll get 3, and one of them should be packaged for picks at some point. I believe in the end Jerry woke up, maybe from watching his doc, and made a bold move, making big cap space, having four ones in two years, and addressing a critical need. Star edge rushers alone don’t make championship teams; the last was the Von miller broncos
  23. Frederick would not have lasted very far into the 2nd round despite what the media dicks say. Of course the media folks say trade down, but you have to have a partner and you have to be confident another team won’t snag him. He would have been a HoF player had he not gotten sick. What a line that was with Zack and Tyron.
