  1. I can buy that he wanted to rest his defense that was out there forever. But you have to score a TD. So when they got close I thought the playcalling sucked and you gotta go for it on 4th down.
  2. We just discovered Resident Alien last night and watched the first three eps. It’s like Northern Exposure with an alien theme. Enjoyed it. S3 debuts tonight.
  3. Won’t happen. I’m surprised they haven’t pushed it an hour later for all prime time. The networks like it where it is so they can stick a new show at the end to premiere. CBS launched Tracker. It kinda sucked.
  4. I haven’t seen anything to rival “beloved aunt” in several seasons.
  5. I hate these undeposited skippers. “I believe in this crew!” Fuck that. You know your bosun is a complete moron.
  6. Agreed. Dervla Kirwan last got nekkid 27 years ago. Shes a nice 52 now. Fine wine.
  7. The best acting job belongs to Foster. She says in the promo interviews “it’s her finest work!” Sounds convincing. Give her an Emmy for that.
  8. McNabb never had a step. Terrible big game qb. Puking on TOs shoes in the huddle of the Super Bowl. He was the protoDak. Reid might have made a real career for VY. The fact is Jeff fisher would have turned Roger Staubach, Bart Starr, and Otto Graham into Sage Rosenfeld.
  9. This is just stupidity. I don’t follow her music but you don’t just waltz into big record deals at 14 and get ordained a superstar. You have to have serious talent, and you have to be an entertainer genetically. It’s fucking hard work and the odds of actually putting together a sustainable long career are infinitesimal. I was in the music business in college in Memphis. The band made more money doing demo records for aspiring singers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays than playing bars on weekends. Every girl singer in town was either funded by wealthy parents or had hustled a local rich couple or two to bankroll them. The white ones all wanted to be Crystal Gayle or Tanya Tucker, the black ones Carla Thomas or Diana Ross. Most had years of voice lessons or pageant work. We’d do a few songs at a studio with the singer and charge an inflated fee, send her home then we’d get the excess studio time for ourselves. That band has continued to work forty years later but despite them having a bankroll none made it past a gut wrenching trip of rejection in Nashville or LA. The typical common issue: they could sing but couldn’t entertain. You either got it or you don’t.
  10. I was talking about why Shanahan took the ball. All the media criticizing that are saying Reid would have deferred had chiefs won the toss. I am saying it might have been his choice to take the ball as wee against a tired Niner defense.
  11. 28-3 and two 10 point leads all turning into losses. Shanahan simply doesn’t know how to put a foot on their neck and finish them. And like Dak choking in big games the pressure gets worse in the next one. Reid is one of the few to turn it around. He was a perennial loser in Philly, mainly because McNabb was the definition of choke job.
  12. Shanahan knew his d was gassed from being on the field the last seven minutes. The smart play for Reid would have been take the ball first and bring em up.
  13. I was at those games. She was booed whenever they put her on the cam. And when Romo took her to Cabo on the bye the criticism was huge. Aikman got no flak for banging g Lorrie Morgan or Janine Turner or his other hot girlfriends.
  14. Her next relationship with be with the hot young Lamar Hunt granddaughter so she’ll keep being at chiefs games.
  15. Where do the natives put those little carved rocks to warn off folks so they don’t get covered up by snow?
  16. We moved to California when the first one came out. The locals, many of whom had never seen lightning or thunder, were amazed. I had to explain that tornadoes that bad only happened about once a month, the less bad ones only a couple a week. These folks lived with constant earthquakes.
  17. Yes but they all contained guts, blood, balls, hair.
  18. Wife wanted something sweet and found a simple thing. Cheesecake crescent roll thing. 9x13 pan. Greased. 350 oven. 2 8oz cream cheese, cup sugar, vanilla, a bit of lemon juice in mixer. Make a sheet from crescent rolls and put in bottom of pan. Cover with cream cheese mixture. Top with another sheet. Brush with butter, sugar, cinnamon. Bake 20-25 minutes til brown. It was killer.
  19. Jesus another Swift conspiracist. Those guys were knocking the shit out of each other last night. The league is going to protect QBs because no one wants to watch scrubs playing that role. And I’m a fan of the league’s Play60 and flag football efforts. It gets kids outside and playing football at younger ages and gets single moms involved. They are the key to letting their kids play.
  20. Chevy. We beat the fucking Nazis.
  21. You can argue the analytics either way. The only advantage to deferral is you know your situation and what to do. In this case though Shanahan’s defense was gassed from the last 7 minutes of the game. Had Reid won the toss putting the Niner defense back on the would have been the right call
  22. He can’t do that. It’s how he listens to 28-3. It’s how he lost the last one. Looks like how he’ll lose this one.
  23. It was their model T. Lots of Germans put deposits on them and never got a car. The Beetle was integral to rebuilding post war Germany. I never got the love of VW vans. Shitty fucking vehicles. A school buddy his dad drove one. My dad thought he was likely a communist which he also categorized Plymouth owners. Anyway it was hot as shit and went about 26 mph.
  24. To introduce their new EV van thing. I hope it’s 4 below when it intros and don’t work. They didn’t show my 81 Scirocco S, which was a great car.
