Corporate bbq is bs in general. Certain foods (like authentic Italian) have to come from the heart

Yup, it has to have emotional content like Bruce Lee would say.

To me, real bbq teaches you a truth about life and energy. If you want richness and tenderness in your life, you gotta get things cooking low and slow. You can't rush or take short-cuts, you have to pay attention and have a connection with your senses, not just your mind to the task at hand. You have to care, it has to mean something to you to truly do it right. 

**** a microwave life style and a microwave food style.

 

Had Monk's BBQ for the first time this weekend. It's a bbq joint out in Purcelville and is probably the best I've had around the NOVA area so far. I highly recommend trying their pastrami brisket and pulled pork. I love a good brisket and they do it right here, but damn that pastrami brisket tasted like a brisket flavored virginia baked ham that just melts in your mouth and doesn't need any sauce to enjoy. It is so much better than the other places around here like Hammerdown or Willards and Mission BBQ is just straight bull****.

With the amount of yardage he gets after contact, he really should be the one in the majority of our goal line situations. I get that right now the coaching staff thinks Barber has better vision for those situations, but he doesn't do much to really push the pile like AG can. 

Saw this on my Wife's facebook from a friend in the South. It speaks to the Toxic/Hyper Masculinity that ferments these dumb mother****ers.

“The question was posed, "Why do people continue supporting Trump no matter what he does?" A lady named Bev answered it this way:

“You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence.

They don't give a **** what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period.

He absolutely realizes that and plays it up. They love it. He knows they love it.

The fact that people act like it's anything other than that proves to them that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around.

If you keep getting caught up in "why do they not realize this problem" and "how can they still back Trump after this scandal," then you do not understand what the underlying motivating factor of his support is. It's **** liberals, that's pretty much it.

Have you noticed he can do pretty much anything imaginable, and they'll explain some way that rationalizes it that makes zero logical sense?

Because they're not even keeping track of any coherent narrative, it's irrelevant. **** liberals is the only relevant thing.

Trust me; I know firsthand what I'm talking about.

That's why they just laugh at it all because you all don't even realize they truly don't give a **** about whatever the conversation is about.

It's just a side mission story that doesn't matter anyway.

That's all just trivial details - the economy, health care, whatever.

**** liberals.

Look at the issue with not wearing the masks.

I can tell you what that's about. It's about exposing fear. They're playing chicken with nature, and whoever flinches just moved down their internal pecking order, one step closer to being a liberal.

You've got to understand the one core value that they hold above all others is hatred for what they consider weakness because that's what they believe strength is, hatred of weakness.

And I mean passionate, sadistic hatred.

And I'm not exaggerating. Believe me.

Sadistic, passionate hatred, and that's what proves they're strong, their passionate hatred for weakness.

Sometimes they will lump vulnerability in with weakness.

They do that because people tend to start humbling themselves when they're in some compromising or overwhelming circumstance, and to them, that's an obvious sign of weakness.

Kindness = weakness. Honesty = weakness.

Compromise = weakness.

They consider their very existence to be superior in every way to anyone who doesn't hate weakness as much as they do.

They consider liberals to be weak people that are inferior, almost a different species, and the fact that liberals are so weak is why they have to unite in large numbers, which they find disgusting, but it's that disgust that is a true expression of their natural superiority.

Go ahead and try to have a logical, rational conversation with them. Just keep in mind what I said here and be forewarned.”

@Malapropismic Depository

I wondered about that too, but then I remembered that they had him in Carolina as well. 

Kind of surprised by this. I thought they really liked Marcus.

I'm glad someone in there is saying this.

I can't help but feel like this also makes up for losing Jordan Brailford to the Vikings.

With Sims Jr questionable, we might see quite a bit of Isaiah Wright on Sunday.

Why is it that a lot of republicans feel like a person is cheating if they don’t have to suffer the same amount in life that they did for success or shelter or dignity or the basic ability to live and be happy?

Why are they so miserly with wanting to help people and see it as something is being taken away from them? Yet, they are perfectly fine with those above them taking from them?

Its not keyboard jockey ****.  Thats loser talk.  Republicans are literally preparing for war.  Sending 17 year old kids out to shoot demonstrators, and then making him a hero means they are preparing for war.  But thats not even what I was really getting at, I was getting at level of seriousness/preparedness for whats coming.  Its serious.  Save me the moral high-ground B.S., lemme guess you're a twenty something political science major, pontificating on what the world should be like.  I recognize that.  I used to be that.  Grow up.

 

Now, I expect everybody to be guided by some sort of internal ethical compass.  I actually have a pretty strong one,  God-willing, and its mostly drawn from my religion.  I dont care where you draw yours from, but I strongly suggest that it be based upon reality, experience, or the experiences of others.  The last thing it should be based on is some Aaron Sorkin-like fantasy, or whatever the Republicans are suggestings Democrats should be like.  

Look, I'm not trying to be harsh but it is keyboard jockey talk, because you are not threading the needle right on something we can't afford to get wrong. And your response to Jumbo still shows you are getting it wrong. Most people do.

I'm actually 37 and would have ended up being a govt. major and probably a damn good lawyer if I didn't go to federal prison back in 06. I've seen and lived with some of the most dark and violent people possible like an MS-13 shot-caller who shot this kid 7-8 times and cut his head off or this piece of **** dude in there for raping his 4 year old daughter or all the other killers and shooters I did time with like the Puerto Rican kid who shot the real 50 cent (not the rapper). I am very well experienced with darkness and violence and brutality, but I've also worked my ass off to know honor, integrity, and character.

That work and that deep experience with both sides of light and dark, affords a person the chance to be someone who can go both darker and lighter than most. A person who can superimpose and stay connected to the qualities of both so one can be dark with light integrity and character, and light with a dark edge and resiliency for the cancerous people who can't protect trust and love.

Darkness alone doesn't impress me and it shouldn't impress you either. it's weakness and boils down to, because the world hurt me, that justifies me to be a monster and be just as ****ty and weak as the people who came before me. **** that, we can be strong enough to be hurt, but still have the mind to hold onto principle and betterment, while containing or destroying cancerous people who refuse to change.

@Jumbo I didn't see your previous back and forth with Koala before posting this. If the above is off-topic, I will delete and I apologize for starting off my initial post to him with words that were more inflammatory than they could have been.

Moral compass?  Have you been watching for the last.. I dunno.. 40 years? 

 

Tired of watching the Democrats show up ready for a fight, while Republicans show up ready for war.  Aint no morals in war, kid. 

 

By any means, necessary.  Hopefully, the more moral side will win.  But lets recognize the moral b.s. for what it is, when it comes to politics.

Sorry, but this is loser talk and keyboard jockey **** regarding morals and war.

You're basically saying we're too weak or incapable to thread the needle and fight back without retaining character and trust.

We can be better than that and I get that it's hard to see that threading the needle process in many dems, because they have no edge, but some of the younger ones and the constituency do or are at least learning that they need to have one.

There is difference between having no edge, having a healthy edge, and being a person with an edge but no character or integrity.

Was watching a legal pundit on MSNBC last night (can’t recall his name) who floated the idea of increasing the SC dramatically. His argument was, that there are large judicial pools in circuits, 50-100, why should there not be in the largest court in the land?
 

He said, why not 50 SC justices? Then decisions would be rendered by a randomly selected group of 3 judges, and it would cut down on suits brought before the court, because you’d have no idea which justices would be hearing the case. The case would stand on its merits.

 

Agreed with most everything he said, though, I’d think a panel of 7 or 9 justices would be a better draw from the pool of 50, as only 3 would not slow as many suits brought forth, because the odds are better. 7 or 9 would even out those odds, and, IMO, is a more democratic way of justice in this land’s highest court than what we have now.

I think you're talking about this one. I saw it too and thought it was interesting.

I think AG will have a much better game today. He knows he was to slow to process and he needs to trust his first read and pull the trigger. There is no time for that kind of thinking, sense and go and he showed it with that 20 yard run or whatever. That should give him confidence, plus I'm interested to see if they have him out in the slot or outside more often. I could see him having 80 or more all purpose yards today and feeling pretty good about that kind of performance.

Wow, that’s pretty damn good for 7th rounders when you list it out like that. I’d forgotten about Austin Reiter. 

Yup, he’ll get his snaps especially if Kendal Fuller is eased back into things for this game or on a limited snap count after coming back from injury. But, it’s a good and true point that if healthy Fuller will bump him down in playing time. 

If Curl does continue to show out and develop, and it’s still early, then that’d be two years in a row where a 7th round DB panned our for us with Jimmy last year. 

Kyle Smith seems to be doing a damn good job with his late round metrics.
