Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I've fallen victim to the clothes hanger tango that has been brought up on this thread. The wife is continually throwing out hangers because we have too many, then buying more because we don't have enough.

Things not going well in Kazakhstan
Its funny Kazakhstan is in turmoil and its enraged population is completely unaware that a group of people on the other side of the world can't discuss it without bringing up Borat and Airplane.

Waco Is Weird
When I was a student at UT, I went to visit my grandparents there around Thanksgiving. On T+1, I left to attend the Texas/Aggy game in College Station. I realized I forgot my gameday shirt in Austin so I stopped at Wal Mart in Waco to get another one. I asked the old lady in the clothing department if they had any University of Texas apparel. She said " Nope. All we have is aggy, longhorn and Baylor Bear." I told her longhorn would have to do. Also my grandad told me the story about Lovers Leap. Its a cliff along the Brazos where 2 teenagers killed themselves and thus gave it the name. Only thing odd about being told this story was me being about 5 years old at the time.

2021 I don't give a fuck about your Fantasy Football Team thread
I actually won with the Championship with the Buffalo safety stat correction. I went to bed down 2.34 points and runner up, I get a congrats text this afternoon and go check, and sure enough, I am the champ. It was good I got that text because I already removed the app from my homescreen.. Ok, I've done the investigation. To not bury the lead, I think it's a true stat correction. Yahoo had them holding Atlanta to between 7-13 points but adjusted it to 14-20 points. Atlanta scored 15 points. That's a drop from 4 points for defensive points allowed to 1 point for defensive points allowed changing the total by 3 points. So at 1st glance it looks like a legit stat change, but hold on. How did Atlanta score that amount of points on the Buffalo defense? Apparently the 1st 2 points of the game came on a Atlanta punt to Buffalo, Buffalo return team fumbled the ball, Buffalo recovered the ball back in the end zone for a safety. According to the rules, we know safeties don't count against defensive points allowed. Not so fast my friend...only safeties allowed by offenses don't count against DST's. Safeties allowed by kick/punt return teams DO count to points allowed. Assuming that those 2 points count against defensive points that is the play for the stat correction. I'm not the commissioner, but my determination is that this stat correction will hold.

Baker killed him.. also all those TE drops, Hooper and that other POS.. They couldn't keep a drive alive worth a shit for Chubb to even get a chance. I came up 2.34 points short of a championship. Fuck! And then they reward Baker with a play action on the goal line. What a kick in nuts.

Awesome.. pretty safe bet we go over .500 in the next 2 seasons, if not 3... and pretty remarkable considering the run between 2010 and 2014..

Jeff Fisher Still Sucks
The man who fucked VY's career was Charley Casserly. Fuck that worthless POS. If that guy does what he's supposed to Jeff Fisher would have never had the chance and would have had 2 additional losses on his record every season VY was in the league.

Why cant they find a deal where the $$ tapers off but Correa gets the years? 32/year for the first 5 years, 20 million after that. Or something similar.

If JV sucks next season, he'll take the option at the end of 2022 to play in 23.. So the Astros deal is indeed better..

Golden Corral, Pancho's and Other Low-Brow Eateries of Your Youth
Cici's pizza after track meets in HS.. When I went, It was all you can eat for only 2.99. We used to compete on how many slices to eat.. 27 was the record from the 800/1600 runner.

It could still go either way for JV.. He may see them as a contender and take a hometown discount...or there may not be enough $$ for Detroit to sign him..

Teams that are on top are going to lose assistant coaches. It happens in every sport. We all know the examples of teams that continue to he great in spite of this, and the ones that come back down to Earth. Trust in Jim Crane. He has given us no reason not to thus far.
