  1. Yep, much easier to get the Sport. At this point, my order is nearly a year old (March of '21). I reserved in August of '20. Pretty ridiculous, and what's worse is that there are plenty of people who reserved before me that don't have their Broncos yet, either. I'm not confident that I'll get mine this calendar year.
  2. That would make too much sense.
  3. They're pulling the same shit with Broncos. Ford has definite supply line issues right now.
  4. The two Spydies I have are good knives. They're certainly not traditional looking with the thumb holes, but they're well made.
  5. Good looking knife. The grind on that looks . . . interesting, esp. near the heel. Maybe it's just the angle of the photo or the lighting. I kinda like the look of the finish, but I wonder if the serrations or filing on the spine would be hard on a thumb if you're doing detail work.
  6. 8 more TDs but more than twice the number of picks (17 to 7). Cousins' RTG was higher as well. Stafford had more yards, but he also had more pass attempts and a better O-line. Like I wrote above, I'm not saying Cousins is better than Stafford. (Although PFF did have him ranked just above Stafford this season.) My point is that a selection of Cousins to the Pro Bowl ahead of Stafford (assuming Stafford could have even played) wasn't completely out of the realm of reason. There are good arguments for both. That's the very definition of a close call. We're going to have to agree to disagree.
  7. Tony Boselli was an absolutely elite OT during almost his entire career. The only knock against him was the lack of longevity. From an on-field performance standpoint he was definitely a HOFer. Boselli was better at his position than Stafford is at his, and that's coming from someone who respects Stafford a lot.
  8. Disagree. Not saying Cousins is better. In fact, if you gave me a choice of picking one or the other in general, I'd take Stafford All I'm saying is that they both had similarly good seasons in '21. Statistically, Stafford has the edge in certain categories, Cousins has the edge in others. To suggest that Stafford played head and shoulders above Cousins this past season to the point that there is no comparison between the two . . . well, that's simply wrong.
  9. Total fucking bullshit that they're letting the Russian doper skate. Completely unfair to the rest of the skaters. And then her teammate falls on her ass and still gets awarded second place (for now). Done watching this corrupt bullshit.
  10. No. That man is way too tall to be Kyler Murray.
  11. Happy birthday, indeed. The background is . . . interesting.
  12. Nah, you noted in your earlier post that there were many others, and you're absolutely right. Can't list 'em all. I was just chiming in with a couple names in particular.
  13. Don't those generally take up more room than conventional stoves? In a 400-foot cabin, that might be an issue.
  14. Rank and File, The Skeletons . . . maybe the Wild Seeds belong on that list too. A lot of good alternative and roots music in that decade for sure.
  15. Available on Amazon for under ten bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1025X-Multifunction-Performance-Stonewashed/dp/B01BAJK7DE
  16. No axis lock, though . . . correct? Not Actually said he was looking for an axis-style lock. Which Civivi is that -- the Elementum? My latest knife is a Lumi, and I'm still trying to get accustomed to the flipper mechanism on that thing. Wasn't too impressed with the sharpness out of the box, either, but that got remedied quickly on the Sharpmaker. Build quality is very good, though.
  17. Benchmade SOCP seems to check your boxes. https://www.knifecenter.com/item/BM391BK/benchmade-greg-thompson-socp-folding-knife-d2-black-cerakote-spear-point-plain-blade-black-cf-elite-handles-carbide-glass-breaker
  18. Tragic. Would be interested in getting the details on how the douchebag gained control of the marked K-9 vehicle. The deputies who allowed that to happen are in some deep shit.
  19. Why does that sound familiar to me?
  20. Thanks for the update/correction. As long as it's WT101 and not the lower proof, that's an improvement over JD, IMO. And yes to Lagunitas IPA.
  21. According to The Points Guy, it's gonna be Jack Daniel's. [*palm slap*] https://thepointsguy.com/news/inflight-service-resuming/
  22. Yeah, a 30 minute flight is something completely different. When I'm flying SW, some of the legs are around 3 hours or so. I'm ready to stand when we come to a stop on those. Not sure what the longest non-Hawaii SW flights are. I know they have some 5+ hour long flights out of Orlando and Baltimore going to places like Vegas, Phoenix, etc.
  23. I stand because I'm tired of sitting and want to stretch my legs, not because I think I'm going anywhere in the next 10-15 minutes.
  24. JFC, hit your FTs. In a tight game, they are likely the difference.
