  1. Got just the filmmakers for such a grand project . . .
  2. So much gold to mine in there. Loochy's such a thin-skinned little pussy.
  3. 7 out of 7, bitches. Just sent my application in to be an MLB umpire.
  4. Listen to this man and add in "Nazi Punks Fuck Off."
  5. Never said he wasn't a good HS QB prospect. Just said that (based on seeing only one game's worth of throws) he seems to have a pretty fair amount of baseball in his football throwing motion, and it seems like he "winds up" quite a bit on deeper/longer throws. I also said there were aspects of his game last Saturday that were impressive, esp. his decisiveness. Again, it's only off of seeing one game -- not a large sample size at all.
  6. I'm seeing stuff on the internet indicating that the video I posted above was actually from October, 2020. Don't care -- it's still cool. According to this article, it's the biggest wave that's ever been surfed. Well, except for Bodhi at Bell's Beach. https://www.redbull.com/us-en/biggest-waves-surfed
  7. Thought this was cool, so I'm posting. NSIAP.
  8. Definitely agree on the mechanics. That's why CW wishes he had Max's arm -- to overcome the limitations created by the baseball-like throwing motion.
  9. Yup, I saw the same thing on long throws in particular. More of a baseball throwing motion than most QBs. Had to wind up a couple times to throw deep outs or across the field to the opposite hash. Almost seems to "push" the ball at times rather than letting it spin out naturally. Maybe it's something that can be corrected to an extent, but my guess is that mechanical tweaks will add only so much. I'm one who thinks accuracy is generally more important than "arm talent" in a QB, but at some point the need to wind up to throw the "fastball" is going to give an opposing DB an opportunity to drive on a receiver's break and make a play on the ball.
  10. Yeah, I was gonna say . . . Weigman looked good in part because his release is pretty quick and he made quick decisions. He didn't jack around and hesitate like many frosh QBs starting their first games. So in those respects, he looked good. He was also quite accurate on the majority of his short and intermediate reads. But he was helped by the fact that Ole Miss had no college film on him. Things will get tougher once opposing DCs start developing a book on him. He was also aided by the fact that he was playing at home in front of a supportive crowd. Other thoughts after seeing what I think were pretty much all of his throws: -- Although his release is quick on the shorter stuff, it looked like he really had to wind up in order to spin it deep or when he wanted to put some extra velocity on deep outs and similar routes. His arm strength doesn't appear to be top level -- certainly not up to the level of Ewers, for example. Weigman can't just flick his wrist and put the ball 20-30 yards downfield like some QBs. He has to wind up a bit, which will give opposing DBs opportunities to break on the ball. -- He got away with a handful (4 or 5) questionable decisions/throws. In other games, some of those are going to be incompletions or even picks. Stewart, for example, bailed him out more than once. For the most part, though, I thought Weigman's decisionmaking was good, esp. for a true frosh playing his first game. He seems a whole lot less jittery than King when he's in the pocket. -- As would be expected, accuracy degraded significantly on the handful of occasions when he was under pressure. -- Ability to withstand hits and take punishment is still an open question. But he doesn't strike me as being a twig waiting to be snapped like King.
  11. So the possibility that Jimbo will "go down in history as the biggest bust in [the] history of college football" is greater leverage than a contractually guaranteed $87M+ buyout. Hokay. What we have "hear" is a special kind of stupid.
  12. JFC, Weigman was absolute dead weight when his O-lineman went to help him up.
  13. Snek swallows Indonesian woman whole. https://news.yahoo.com/body-missing-indonesian-woman-discovered-230051931.html
  14. Similar to the many people who think "The One I Love" by R.E.M. is so romantic.
  15. For the sake of context, would be interested in knowing what some of the heavy hitters were. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to try ET, which for whatever reason I had consigned to the same category as Old Crow, Ancient Age, and some other "bottom shelf" bottles that didn't agree with me. And if I don't like it, it becomes a mixing bottle when entertaining.
  16. I'm going to have to try the other whiskies in their line. Lost Monarch at $30 outpunches a lot of bottles costing 2 or even 3 times that amount. I'm not sure that there's anything else costing $30 or less that I like better.
  17. Thanks for posting this, Hulla. I might not have heard it had I not seen this thread.
  18. My favorite part was the posts saying "we're gonna get screwed by the sip-loving refs when we play them again." They're already rationalizing losing to UT in the future. Rent. Free.
  19. Aggy (probably): We took so much out of Bama last week that we basically won the game for Tennessee. Whoop!
