    Dammit, have you gone to Sunshine to get a burger yet?

     

    I don't know how you live less than 20 minutes away from that place and don't visit at least once a week.   I hear they got that blue cola you fiend.

    Holy ****, Road Rules.  I actually liked one of their seasons.  The dude who looked like the lead singer of The Offspring after he cut his hair and got a spiked flat top.  I think it was the first season.

     

    My sentiments exactly, I felt older than I was.  It was cutting-edge debauchery.  Now it's cutting-edge douchebaggery.

     

    MTV had spring break back in the day tho.  They had chicks wearing bikinis with underboob.  Watershed moment.

     

    We'll be back after these 20 commercials...

    I didn't like The Real World either.  Outside of the dude whose nickname was Snot (or something like that) on the first season, and the gay dude who had AIDS during that season...the rest of the series sucked.

     

    After Beavis and Butthead ended, I was done.  At least their show had them reacting to music videos.  Hey, if you think about it, they're the OGs of the reaction video phenomenon.

     

    I liked Real World as a kid (I'm talking like, 11 and 12 years old) because it felt like an adult thing to watch.  But then I remember watching it in my early 20s and thinking "This is some manipulative ****, they're just taking all these people from different backgrounds and having them live together and documenting what chaos ensues."  It was the first episode of a new season and these people couldn't make it past, like, 3 hours before having a giant fight.   

     

    I'm sure Road Rules has aged terribly, too.

     

    MTV was once great, but I've not watched it in forever, either.  Being able to watch music videos endlessly was awesome.

    The origin is to include the men since the baby shower is traditionally for jsut the women. SOme people have them and a baby shower some have them instead. At least that is my understanding. 

     

    Do what you want - but again when it starts risking lives it has clearly gone too far.  

     

     

    I don't know of a single man who gives a **** about being part of a baby shower.  The less things I'm invited to, the better.  The less events I have to throw, the better.

    A New Start! (the Reboot) The Front Office, Ownership, & Coaching Staff Thread

    What Happened: Bezos has explored taking an ownership position in the NFL's Washington Football Team, according to Front Office Sports.

    The current Amazon CEO is said to have held talks about buying a stake in the team, which plays in Washington D.C.

     

    Three minority owners of the Washington Football Team hired Moag & Co, a Baltimore-based sports investment banking firm to explore a sale. Bezo’s attorney held talks with Moag & Co, according to the report.

    Current Washington Football majority owner Dan Snyder has claimed an extortion campaign forcing him to sell the team is being wagered. Snyder blocked the sale of a stake in the team by existing owners using his right of first refusal.

    The Lady and The Dale - documentary on HBO.

     

    Basically this con-man from the 50s and 60s resurfaces in the 1970s as the executive of this car company...the difference with this car is that it's got three wheels and is apparently super efficient with gas, something that was important during the fuel shortage in the 70s.

     

    Oh, and the con-man is now a woman.  And she's still conning people, the car company is a whole con, too.

     

    It's an interesting documentary, I had no idea about this car and this woman who was at the helm.  And it's really well done.

     

    But becomes a not-so-veiled attempt at painting her as some sort of transgender champion which is odd considering she ended up going on the lam for 9 years after skipping bail and only being nabbed after she was featured on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.  I get that there aren't a lot of trans heroes out there but could you do a better job of picking one that wasn't a criminal?  

     

    The story is enjoyable but the social commentary is off-putting at times.  B-.

    Umm... Whose side just conducted a violent insurrection against the US Capitol because their guy lost? Whose side planned assassination attempts against Michigan's governor because she dared to ask people to wear a mask and tried to prevent thousands in her state from dying from a pandemic? Whose side now calls its base the KKK and neonazis?

     

     

     

    I don't know, Burgy...it ain't worth it.  There's a large group of conservatives that don't believe the insurrection was that bad.  They don't care about the assassination attempts.  They don't want to wear masks.  They don't care that they're lumped in with the KKK and neo-nazis because they probably silently agree with them.

     

    The more and more our country falls into despair, the more and more I think that the people that are afflicted with this outlook on life should be looked at as alcoholics.  They can recover, some of them can beat this thing...some of them can come around and learn.

     

    But the first step, as we all know, is admitting you have a problem.  People like this don't want to admit they have a problem...and that's a problem.  No one wants to look inwards, no one wants to self reflect on their views on life.  It's much easier to blame the other.

     

    We've all had these arguments and debates in real life with people...for me, it's my mother.  She just lashes out constantly at everything the libs do, never bothers to reflect on what her side does.  She claims she was upset about the insurrection and that it was bad but certainly doesn't spend much time talking about it.  And when I pin her down with logic and truth, she just lashes out in another direction on a different conservative talking point.  Finally I realize that she has no interest in honest debate, no interest in introspection.   I'm assuming that's the case here.

    Tatis, 14 years/330 million...

     

    He's 22 now, so that contract will take him to he's 36.

     

    I...don't know what to make of it.  He's an amazing talent but it seems like he's been hurt a lot early in his career.  

    Rookie QB or Veteran QB for "Next Season"??? (I didn't bump this, but I ended up being wrong anyway....)

    We aren’t going to find our long term QB this year unless we want to give up a lot of assets to get them. Whether that’s trading for a veteran or up in the draft.

     

    So, just find a stopgap QB to compete with Kyle and Taylor for the starting job. Build the rest of the team this year and get the long term QBs in 22. 

     

    Heinicke/Allen is the stopgap, IMO.  If you bring in a guy like Mariota, that's not much better.   I bet either one of those guys could produce what Mariota can produce...if we get Mariota it doesn't really make us that much better.  

     

    Stopgap isn't the answer, we've got two guys that are already stopgap material. We need someone legit.
