Mint is an underused ingredient, imo. There is one bartender at a place I go to who adds a little mint to my Arnold Palmer at lunch. It sounds silly, but it’s funny how it elevates something so simple. You get the aroma more than the taste. My wife is Lebanese and mint is also worked into a lot of Mediterranean dishes.

If we are talking salsa, I made a great mango salsa to go with my blackened salmon recently. The usual ingredients of red pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, lime juice. The key was I cheated and used diced and drained canned mango. Getting a properly ripe mango and then getting the meat from it is the tricky part. That really simplified things.

It depends on what we are doing. If I’m grilling wings, it’s definitely Franks. Perfect and easy. Texas Pete will do in a pinch. I had taco night this week while the wife was away, and that required some Cholula to amp up the Taco Bell hot sauce. Some things, like crab legs and Bloody Mary’s call for Tabasco for its unique flavor profile. I think the answer for me is, it depends. I guess that’s why we have a hot sauce section in the fridge. .

I love it! Five out of our first 6 picks are DL! The 6th guy at #179 may end up being the best of the super bunch. That’s how the draft works! 😂

I would just like to say that I am happy I didn’t click on any of this. I am so sick of this stuff, but I guess that’s the world we live in. If it happened, we will hear about it. If it didn’t happen, we may still hear about it. I have gotten to the point where I hate watching the news, so I usually don’t. .

My wife is on her way back from NYC and texted me about this before boarding. Yes, I knew, but I was going to wait to mention it until you were home and I could hug you. She did remind me she was in an airport and that news was fairly impossible to miss. She had me there, but I wasn’t going to bring it up first.

I do think there is a bit of a shift in the league toward running the ball more. I’m FAR too lazy to do it myself, but I’d be curious to see how the percentage of run plays has shifted over the last 5-10 years for the league in general and for playoff teams. Teams went light (like we did) to stop the passing game. That becomes an opportunity for teams that can pound the ball. .

The good teams are going back to running the ball more, it seems. RB’s may have a bit of a comeback in terms of priority.

Yeah, especially since we are the only team to beat them so far this year. That is conveniently forgotten by many. People get overly emotional and it clouds their view sometimes. Yes, we lost to the Chiefs. No, we do not suck and we have a lot of reasons to be optimistic going into next season.

Wait! There are other options for how to hit on women?

This may be what it takes to get some people to stop complaining about Beane and McD.

The Pro Bowl was bad before it died. I don’t know what to call it now other than senseless.

With all those terrible draft picks, how on earth did we manage to get to the AFCCG? If we draft so terribly, it sounds like we are over performing. We seem to have a logic issue. .

Apparently @RyanC883 likes all the hindsight takes. Shocking.

Being upset is fine. I know I am. But (imo) it comes off better if you do it like an adult as opposed to a spoiled child having a fit.

We were just in the AFCCG (again) and lost by 3 on the road against a dynasty that is beating everyone else too. Yet WE SUCK! .

The good news is, think of all the time we will save if we know in advance it’s not worth watching!

The negativity here is exhausting.

No. But we need a few fixes.

No, it was just such a poor take I wasn’t sure if it was real. If we suck, why don’t we suck?

We lost by 3 in the AFCCG against the 2 time defending Chiefs in their stadium. Yes, we must suck. Have a nice troll.

I think I shoulda’ been a bot. 😊

It seemed stupidly stubborn, and it should have opened up something clever and easy at least once. It sucks, but I can live with it.

This was awesome. This is the time of year I come here to start learning about these guys. I don’t follow college ball that closely, but the draft is one of my favorite things of the year. Maybe that was inevitable growing up as a BIlls fan. 😊 In fact, being in the War Room for a Bills draft might be my #1 Choice of “sporting events.” I’ve been to a Bills Super Bowl and that was cool, and I’ve been to a Masters, but a draft room would be fascinating! .

Free beer and wings FOR LIFE!
