  1. I've never seen Steve Miller, so I was really just talking about the demand aspect. And Abra Cadabra really is a terrible song; especially that guitar solo!
  2. Sweetened or unsweetened? I can handle unsweetened iced tea, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it. Sweetened iced tea is effin' disgusting.
  3. Glutteny is one of the seven deadly sins.

  5. The entire contract is filthy with protecting his money, knowing that a suspension was coming - from the miniscule 2022 salary to the bonus protection. "As CBS Sports' Joel Corry reports, there is language in the Browns' contract with Watson that prevents them from asking for any of his signing bonus or salary back. Below is the official cause from Watson's contract, per Corry. ...it shall not constitute a failure or refusal to practice or play with the Club and Player shall not be in default if: ... (iii) Player is suspended solely in connection with matters disclosed to Club in writing pursuant to Paragraph 42 which results in Player's unavailability to Club solely for games during the 2022 or 2023 NFL League Years. Had Watson's contract not included this language, the Browns would have been able to ask him to return his $8.933 million prorated signing bonus for 2022 if he was suspended for a full season. And with him suspended for part of the season, they could have asked for a prorated amount — number of games suspended divided by 18 — of it back." https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/deshaun-watson-contract-suspension-browns-qbs/sxgdjq8o8ouiyxsz6qf5g1qt They basically paid him his first year's salary as an untouchable bonus. Pathetic and disgusting, if you ask me.
  6. Oh, I didn't hear about those comments. That is disappointing.
  7. In fairness, he was drafted in the second round (after moving up two spots) with hopes of becoming a tackle. He ended up being a below-average guard. I don't think this was from any kind of a lack in effort. The kid was simply over-drafted. It happens. Beane is still a phenomenal GM. But he whiffed on Ford.
  8. This officially makes him a bust.
  9. I wouldn't mind this too much if the artist played songs from the same albums that the hits were on. For example - The Police are always gonna play Message in a Bottle. I wouldn't mind if they skipped that song and instead played No Time This Time, which is song on the same album that was never released as a single. What I don't like is seeing bands past their prime and they think the crowd wants to hear their new music. Psssst ... we don't.
  10. The guy's got it made. He's got a cult following who doesn't care that he plays the same songs every show. Steve Miller is the same (except he's actually good). He played SPAC every summer for what seemed like decades and just rode that greatest hits album that everyone has owned at some period of their lifetime.
  11. Are we still on for this?
  12. Where the hell is Turbo??
  13. He does know the game. And everyone knew when he was right about something.
  14. There's "being able to afford it," and "justifying spending that much money to see a football game." Two entirely different things ... neither of which has a RCH to do with how much money someone makes.
  15. The Browns protected his signing bonus in the contract.
  16. That's a great point, re: Alvarez. If you think about it, we haven't had a legitimately good catcher (who can stay healthy) since Piazza retired. That's a long friggin' time.
  17. Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light Those days are over You don't have to sell your body to the night
  18. https://www.facebook.com/AdventuresWithPurpose/posts/pfbid05PniWV69aApgNVKtMtTuGZDnu7KnQvGZW7pfnvzU716uHQzBjrcdEqTAiVAHUEGul Adventures With Purpose · WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI... ==== Car is upside down in only 14' of water. We have CONFIRMED Kiely is inside. Family Notified Law Enforcement on their way.
  19. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/vehicle-found-last-location-missing-teen-kiely-rodni-rcna44145 A vehicle that contained human remains was discovered in a California lake near the last estimated location of missing teenager Kiely Rodni, authorities said Sunday night.
  20. Really? I thought he was universally (almost) loved ... like the Dave Matthews Band (who also sucks).
  21. Yeah, the Braves have been hot for quite a while. Remember ... they had that 14-game winning streak early in the season and the Mets were still able to keep hold of the division. They are a solid team. Mets have the 3rd easiest schedule in the league for September. August has been a brutal stretch, but the Mets have done well. Marte is on friggin' fire. I love that they brought Baty up. Kid looks like he's 12, LOL. Would love to see him stay up permanently. We'll see what happens if/when Escobar and/or Guillorme come back. I don't know what's keeping them from bringing Francisco Alvarez up. Michael Perez is almost an automatic out. Terrible, terrible hitter.
  22. Sadly, Millbank passed away. I also recently learned that Meathead passed away.
  23. Pretty top notch journalism. Brandon Beane moved up in the draft; other GMs were upset. Riveting.
  24. I used to reserve a room for the first four to five weekends of the season, since I know which game I'm going to (which is usually their second home game) - then cancel the rooms that no longer apply after the schedule comes out. The last couple years, I've gambled and just got the room as soon as the schedule came out and ended up saving money getting the non-refundable rate.
