  1. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting That's what she said. I don't see that as blaming Ambien. If I said I was drunk texting and am an idiot for doing so would your takeaway be that I was blaming alcohol? It read like she was giving context to her ridiculously poor decision making. I don't know honestly I don't really care enough to continue on discussing it. She was an idiot, paid the price for it, and now can fade back into obscurity. I more was commenting on how every company has to have a social media manager who likes to be edgy. This is one of those moments where I feel old as I just can't back social media. It brings out the worst in people especially twitter where they can hide behind an alias and throw pot shots at everyone. I am amazed though at how many people can stick their foot in their mouth in less than 140 characters.
  2. I really can't stand companies trying to be edgy and cool on twitter. Ambien shut up and keep your head down. It has so many crazy stories associated with it that they should shut up. Nobody was blaming ambien for her doing this. Their sales weren't going to be affected. Seriously google "crazy ambien stories" and it comes back with a ton of results. Anything from sleep walking, sleep driving, activities including sex with no memory, using weapons, etc. Anyone who has any experience heard she took ambien and didn't go to sleep and thought yeah I can see that happening. She's an idiot, has always been an idiot, and lost her tv show for being an idiot :yawn:
  3. Pooj I really couldn't disagree with this more. I think with all of LeBron's gifts his basketball IQ is the thing that I am always in awe of. Rarely does he make a bonehead play. I can remember a few times in his younger days when he would pass in the closing moments of the game because he had a wide open player. Critics (skip ) would say he was scared to take the shot but it was just the right bball play. This team needs him to be super man. He has to give it his all every game and dominate offensively because his supporting cast is terrible. Nance and Clarkson got the Laker hype bump but they were coming off the bench of a 36 win team. JR Smith can't ever be trusted, Korver is ancient, Tristan Thompson has motivation problems, Kevin Love well I don't really know what to say about him. Without LeBron they don't sniff the playoffs let alone make it to the NBA finals. My knock on LeBron is he inserts himself too much in the gm/coach role. Tristan Thompson and JR Smith's contracts are his fault. He holds that team hostage like no other player. When he left the first time the team was in shambles and when he leaves this time it will again be in shambles. Miami was in shambles when he left as well although the decline of Wade and unfortunate Bosh circumstance also played in that. With LeBron you get a hell of a player. Still at 33 able to dominate a single basketball like no other player I've ever seen (yes I saw Jordan - personal opinion). Any series that goes to game 7 is his. You also though get "LeGM" and "LeHC" he's a diva but still at 33 a player I would love to have on the Lakers.
  4. Yeah I can't tell if it's great defense or just really bad basketball lol.
  5. This thread for a Lakers fan is like a liberal wading into ppp. ?
  6. I won't crush the parents because we don't have information on what is causing this. However there is an online movement that I would not be surprised this guy was a part of. It's called NEET and stands for not in employment, education, or training. Basically people who do what he is doing and that is freeloading off of parents or family members. It should be embarrassing but there group think has made it acceptable. Reddit has an entire community dedicated to it and a quick browse will show you the entitlement. Be honest too when you think of someone who lives in their parents basement and spends all day on the internet isn't this guys picture the one that comes to mind?
  7. Lakers fan and became one during the showtime era so I hate the Celts. Yankee fan so I hate the sox Obviously a Bills fan so I hate the patriots* I'll be rooting for LeBron. Off/on topic but I'm jilted when it comes to Chris paul. He should have been on the Lakers! Then he went to the clippers add in a few unsporting nut shots and ill also be rooting for the warriors in game 7.
  8. I am able to button all of my 34 pants. I can't move in them yet but I can button them. I knew I held onto them for a reason! lol I haven't done any weight training. Really I hate working out. My wife built her diet plan with exercise so she gets more calories than me. I knew I wouldn't do it so I built mine without the exercise. 203.7 this week so I'm still making progress. I drink so much water to curb my "bored eating" and it really does help. Not snacking late at night has probably been 75% of how I have dropped the weight. I really miss bad food though lol.
  9. I saw umphreys McGee on Thursday and it was a blast. Will make it to 3 or 4 more tbd shows before the year is out.
  10. Oh thank god lol. Everyone is debating Laurel and Yanni and I hear Yam-me too! Wife hears Laurel. She though I was messing with her and got annoyed until I showed her the articles. We then proceeded to the blue/gold dress again and I see gold she see blue and black. Fun times, thanks internet for needlessly getting me in trouble with the missus. I don't need your help I do just fine on my own!!!
  11. Awesome congrats! I just put the numbers in and my BMI at start of 225 was 33.2. I'm now down to 204.6 and my BMI is 30.2. I don't really care for it though as I would have to get to 165 for "normal". At 165 I look emaciated and like someone needs to feed me a burger lol. BMI is a standard but not one I really pay attention to. I'm pumped though. Officially down 20 pounds! 200 seems a lot more achievable now than it did at the start. I have become a bit obsessed though. I have begun eating sandwiches using lettuce as the bread which saves a ton of calories and is actually good. I eat a lot differently and stopped eating when I was bored but it really has been easier than I though to stay disciplined. I drink a ton more water to curb my hunger many times too. Hope all of you are enjoying success as well!
  12. These are both things i texted my Celtics fan friend last night. Cavs still don't seem to care, get disinterested/aloof any time there is a hint of difficulty. I don't really see any way LeBron is wearing a Cavs jersey next season. JR was JR last night and the Celtics continue to play great team basketball. LeBron to Warriors this offseason and they go 82-0
  13. Barring a complete blow up of the Cavs I don't see how LeBron returns next season. Lue is not a great coach and the team just looks so disinterested. They remind me so much of the Lakers in 03. Lakers were coming off the 3 peat and just never really engaged all year. I expected them to turn it on in the playoffs and they just didn't ever do it. Cavs team around LeBron looks like they just expect to win because LeBron is on the court. He had a rare off game and nobody could pick up the slack. JR Smith with 4 points? 36-18 after the first quarter? Marcus Morris had 21 and 10? Somehow I'm sure he still beats them because I still won't bet against him but I feel even stronger he is gone this off season now. Celtics are about to take over the East. Stevens is a great coach but I feel people used to give Ainge a lot of credit and are kind of over it. That's a great duo running things. Ainge is just as important as Stevens and has really stacked that roster. I do want to say though the east still sucks.
  14. I understand Ben's pov. He's thinking about Ben Roethlisberger and what is best for him, the Steelers are thinking about the Steelers and what is best for them. That is it. Further you say they should have taken him earlier than they got him which is a strange argument. Why would they take him earlier? Every pick is need vs bpa for every team. When the players are closely ranked you take the need. When they aren't closely ranked you take bpa. Rudolph didn't hold the value in those picks that he did in the 3rd for the Steelers.
  15. We get it 26. You don't like rudolph. We got it predraft. It is because you don't think Rudolph is any good that the pick wasn't worthwhile to you. The Steelers had him as a first round pick and took him in the third. Therefore in their mind they got great value and can possibly transition from big Ben to their next franchise qb. It is simply because you refuse to accept that Rudolph COULD be good that you can't accept that the pick may have been wise on the Steelers part. Kamara and Hunt are nice pieces and on their way to being superstars. Are they more important to their teams than Russel Wilson? Obviously the answer is no. If Rudolph hits the Steelers have the most difficult spot to fill done very cheap. If he washes out then it was a missed pick which happens all the time in the NFL. Are we also going to pretend like the Steelers didn't have an extra 3rd from trading Bryant away? They got okorafor to help their o-line. So they did add a 3rd round pick to help the team as well as grabbing their potential franchise qb.
  16. I disagree sort of but thank you for clearing up your point. If Stevie or Kyle came in and performed like hardy and mccargo respectively they would have been cut and not thought of again. It was because mccargo was a 1st and hardy a 2nd that they got as many chances as they did. Stevie and Kyle got their chance because they showed something quickly.
  17. Why not? If Dobbs was a first or second round pick I would be right there with you. A 4th round pick isn't a significant investment. It's a crapshoot. Do you care to explain why you feel it doesn't matter where he was drafted because I don't understand that logic. For the Bills do you have higher expectations for tremaine Edmunds or tarron johnson? Would you be more disappointed if Edmunds got cut before next year or johnson?
  18. When would a 4th round draft pick ever preclude someone from drafting the same position? Both dobbs and landry (who most certainly won't be back) were 4th round picks. If Dobbs got cut would it really be a big deal? By year 2 only 74.1% of players are on the team that drafted them. By year 3 that number drops to 54.3. To dig further, what if they had a 1st round grade on Rudolph and only took him because he was far and away the top player on their board? A little more googling and I found this: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ben-roethlisberger-texted-mason-rudolph-before-the-start-of-steelers-rookie-minicamp/. Which says the Steelers had him as a first round grade. Steelers are planning for life after Big Ben point blank period. Big Ben doesn't want to admit how close to the end he is. He's already threatened retirement. I don't blame the Steelers one bit.
  19. Landry Jones is due to be a fa at the end of the year. It took me about 5 seconds to Google that. Weak from Andy benoit there. Bigger story here should be why is future hofer big Ben worried about the guy behind him on the depth chart?
  20. What? What a weird cherry picked dumb stat. The Lakers have won 5 championships in the last 20 years. I'll take that over drafting well. Further the Lakers either drafted at the end of the round or not at all due to trades.
  21. 2 different stores. Costco is much more like a BJs or Sams Club. Wegmans is just a regular grocery store. Yeah the Tops near me is very run down. They have a weekly meal deal though that can't be beat. Whatever is on special is discounted then a bunch of complimentary items are also discounted. For example pot roast will be on sale, if you buy gravy, carrots, etc... you get a deal on all of them as well and usually a free 12 pack of water. It is worth the trip just for that one deal. Other than that and prepared foods, Wegmans is the better store. This reminded me of another annoying Wegmans thing. They will regularly and routinely be out of name brand items while pushing their store brand. Wegman's as a store brand isn't bad but I prefer Giannelli sausage. Their Gardineria also decent but I prefer Mezzetta. It seems purposeful. Small things I know but they add up. Their family pack of chicken breast and ground beef though is on point. Zweigles sucks Hoffman forever!!!!
  22. I still don't see it but if they win the next one the momentum swings wildly in their favor. Glad the sixers showed up instead of laying down like the Raptors. It's officially time to break up that team imo.
  23. I've never understood the love for Wegmans. It may be because the one in my city is smaller but it is just another grocery store. Wegmans is the most expensive in town for pretty much everything. They used to be great for produce but there has been a noted downturn in the last couple of years in quality of product. Meat department is ok but outclassed by local grocers, canned goods are much cheaper at Wal-Mart, even the sub shop has reduced their meat per sandwich and now you eat a giant roll with a little bit of meat. I've been to some of the nicer ones and they are very nice but again not nicer than say a Publix. So I open-mindedly ask what is so great about Wegmans? Why does it get this mythical reputation as the grocery store to end all grocery stores? Is it simply because it is born locally?
  24. It is still federally illegal therefore a no go for federal employees. Drug testing policies don't care how the drugs got there simply if they are or aren't. Good news though: If you don't smoke regularly it is out of your system in less than a week. I don't know why I know these things but I do
