  1. It's a good point, i'm trying to think of another trade that worked out so well for both parties
  2. Chiefs are a big game nemesis until we prove otherwise Same to a lesser degree for the titans
  3. I grill my wings, which i've found results in a crispier wing, to universal acclaim. Proceed thusly; The Wings 10lb bag frozen wings from BJs or your wholesale club of choice. I used to cook them from frozen, which works fine but results in at least 20 minutes more on the grill. 10 lbs fits comfortably on my weber 4 burner grill 6 packets of Goya seasoning, the red kind. Preheat the grill, full blast hot. Once you put the wings on the grill, sprinkle the Goya on the wings so you can see red on each wing. Apply to opposite side once you flip them, after maybe 10-15 minutes. This adds flavor, but also helps them crisp faster. It'll take them 30-40 minutes overall. You'll know they are done when you press your finger into them and the skin is crispy. They will finish asymmetrically so turn down/off one of the burners and pile up the finished ones until they're all done. Transfer inside in your favorite stainless steel bowl The Sauce Do this while the wings are grilling. you'll have plenty of time Melt about half a stick of butter in a 2 or 4 cup pyrex measuring cup. 2 cups sauce total is a good amount for 10lbs of wings with some to soak up on the bottom. Once butter is melted, add about 1.5 cups of red hot, or if you like the red hot extra hot. I've tried some other hot sauces, which are OK but I think Franks is really the one. Add a couple squirts of your favorite sweet bbq sauce. Then, and this is the most important thing, something to add a little smoke. I have a powder i make every year where i smoke jalapenos and scotch bonnet peppers, dehydrate them, and grind them up. A liberal pinch of that powder adds some real depth of flavor to the sauce. If you dont have that (and you should have that) a couple drops of liquid smoke is a reasonable substitute Stir that all together, maybe put it in the microwave for a minute so the butter doesn't congeal in the sauce. Pour it over, mix them up, and serve. I like Rudy's blue cheese, but pick your poison.
  4. hot take inbound: Daboll was a good to very good OC who occasionally had lapses in judgement where he got either too cute or too predictable with playcalling. Dorsey, if he can avoid that, will be as good if not better
  5. you dont care so much that you came here to tell us exactly how much you dont care and oh by the way heres what i do care about
  6. Madden is the Sports Illustrated of video games
  7. He'll be fine, not great. TBD will predictably overreact
  8. Is anyone else getting some stupid infomercial instead of the game? I was watching on channel 23 in albany
  9. Yeah when they picked Watkins, my son and i were like "wait, isn't Khalil Mack still on the board?" i guess things worked out but boy howdy was that a pick
  10. There's a ton of great small cities and towns in TN & North Alabama that are still solid values and even see a snow or two in the winter. I'll definitely hang onto my 6 acres in upstate NY but will have someone look after it maybe from Thanksgiving to early May so i can go live on a lake or river down south. OTOH maybe global warming will make the Capitol Region seem like North Alabama, probably not soon enough to help me though
  11. Without doing a deep dive on it, i bet some of those 'drops' were actually him not getting a second foot down in bounds since it seems like the sideline throw was his stock in trade
  12. where will we find a guy that can drop 40% of his targets? DOOMED
  13. Next year I won’t but will still enjoy the games. I hope Amazon sends you a cool hat or something for white knighting them. I guess a username gimmick based on advertising from a 70s Buffalo tv show is pretty on brand
  14. You like paying more? Welp you're gonna love it when all games go PPV Maybe the 'fixed' firestick and some eastern european sports sites next year then
  15. ‘I’ve said it before here. There’s no reason in this day and age to rely on human eyes to referee football or any other sport. Video analytics could solve for this, keep the refs to announce the calls if you want I guess
  16. Also, "Vegas" as an institution, needs for people to have faith that the game isn't rigged. If it is, then people will just bet with the bookie at their watering hole or find other ways to throw money away like college educations and blue state property taxes
  17. Alexa, who is Pete Rose?
  18. "paying his coach to lose" = "fix games" does it matter why? From a rules and legal perspective, it absolutely does not matter why
  19. Right, lol at that. Look, anywhere there's a lot of money, there will be people lying, cheating, and stealing to get at it. I happen to agree that the NFL hopping in bed with legalized gambling is a bad idea, and will ultimately incentivize bad behavior. Not by everybody, not in a largely coordinated fashion, but I can say with great certainty that there will be instances where connected people, be they coaches, players, officials, or owners, will break the rules to enrich themselves. That anyone finds this even mildly controversial from a likelihood standpoint is just amazing to me. Perhaps I'm too cynical, but I don't think so
  20. The point here is that it doesnt have to be grand or widespread at all. There's inflection points in every football game, and if a coach wanted to throw a game because there was a million bucks in it for him, it wouldn't be all that hard. I work in sales and I've seen people marched to the door my whole career because they cheated the system to get an extra $1000 in a commissions check. I'm not saying it's happening but people getting indignant at the the very possibility that it might happen, i wonder if you ever leave your house and interact with other human beings
  21. Maybe not the league per se, individual owners, coaches, whomever. Degenerate gamblers make decisions that don't make sense to the rest of us
  22. This stuff is completely out of bounds and can't possibly happen right up until it does. I don't have a hard time at all believing Flores here. Money talks, bs walks.
  23. At least the Pats fans that didn't become Bucs fans overnight a couple years ago
