Ugh, why is Fergie singing this song???

I don't know why they bother either.   Just take her top off.   Let her stand in the middle of the stage.   Everyone gets what they paid for.

You know, that Tom Brady would be one sexy woman if she'd shave.

It could just be that I can't grow in facial hair evenly, but I can't imagine leaving the house to either go to work or be on television without thinking "shit, I should probably do something to not actively make myself look more repulsive."

And they've already had a 1984-themed commercial... I'm sensing a theme here.

Yes, and the best part was when they had to stop and explain to us that it was a 1984 reference because it turns out Americans are extraordinarily stupid.

How come no one in commericals ever shaves?

I'm genuinely embarrassed to say that I asked the same question, out loud, 30 seconds ago.

That's a lie.   What I said was "you're going to be in a TV commercial today, son...shave."

Why can't a football game be about a football game?

We've been watching Fox with the sound on for 45 minutes now.   If I remember right, we wasted almost 10 minutes watching people read/react to the Declaration of Independence (?), sang the national anthem, listened to Michael Douglas read something about our jingoism and national resolve, watched Terry Bradshaw pretend he's a better person than Therapist, and got, again just from memory, about 3 minutes of the yucksters predicting the game outcome.

Wouldn't we just have been better served watching a classic Super Bowl or maybe highlights from this season or, god, I don't know, how about some discussion about the game we're (maybe) about to watch.

Pretty much any bold flavored red compliments chili just fine.  After all, chili is basically a ragout.

Right, if we're assuming it's not just made spicy for spicy sake.  If that's the case, I'll take the Chianti idea a little further and say a Barolo.

I like reading Nero Wolfe mysteries - it's always fascinating when he talks about not wanting to take any cases in December because he would only be getting 5-10% of the income. How was that ever the law?

I'm nowhere near a 90% tax bracket and I can tell you I was hoping for the same shit mid-December.   Once you factored in state/local/corp taxes, I was keeping less than half whatever we sold, which kind of takes the fun out of selling shit.

Essentially team captains picked their teams in a fantasy draft type of scenario.  The whole process described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_NHL_All-Star_Game#New_format

Haven't watched them enough to know, but I'll take us against anyone.

I'm grateful for the USC game.  According to Gary Johnson, the players found out afterwards that the USC scouting report was basically "they're soft, just get into them a little and they'll roll over".

Here's the thing.   Unlike most Barnes teams that have 2-3 one-dimensional scorers with attitudes, this team plays defense.   Real deal, hard core defense.   Even though it's a different style, it almost feels like 1990 UNLV.   You expect the other team to turn it over or miss a low percentage shot EVERY.   TIME.   DOWN.   THE FLOOR.   Cellar teams?   Ranked teams?  No matter.   

Defense baby.   Defense.

Jesus, people, he was a guy who played pretty well here for about ten years.  He's not a Hall of Famer, he wasn't an all-time great, and unless I've grossly miscalculated the ages of the posters here, he wasn't any of our childhood's heroes.

Why do you think this? I find MSG to be the greatest venue I have ever encountered for NBA basketball, by far.

1) One-way escalators
2) No bathrooms on an entire floor of seating
3) Uncomfortable seating/legroom
4) Horrific food choices, especially for NY (Mets and Yankees both have outstanding food)
5) Fairweatherest fans around
6) This was specific to us, but our season tix last year were in a section populated only by European tourists at their first American basketball game.  If I wanted to be the only person rooting for the home team, I could stay home.
7) One entrance - if my seats are on the opposite side, it's a real trek, especially if you sit at/near the top
8 ) Outrageous expense.   $1850/ea for the cheapest season tix is nuts.   No parking, no food, no perks, just tix in the ass of the building.

I'm sure there are people who do.  Obviously there are more expensive seats, and depending on the number of seats you have, I'm sure $5 grand probably is common.  But you don't have to drop that much.  My PSL's were $600/seat, btw.  The bill I got yesterday said that Texans ticket prices were 16th out of the 32 teams, squarely middle of the pack in terms of price.

Now, this is just for the ticket and parking pass.  What you spend *while* attending is another matter.  I'd guess we spend about $50-75/game in beer and food for tailgating.  Probably $30/game for beer inside.  And don't ask me how much I've spent on grills, tents, tailgating shit, etc.  

Right, sure.  We used to spend 10x as much on tailgating than the games.   Still, $600 for a PSL and $1500/yr for two seats and parking seems downright reasonable these days.   You wouldn't believe what the Knicks think season tickets are worth in the top corner of what is certainly one of the worst sporting arenas in America.   $1500 would be near-free.

Beer and Queso / Re: Another bill from Bob McNair...
« on: January 29, 2011, 03:38:02 pm »
Mine are $70/game for 10 games.  Parking is $45/game.  For two tickets and parking, it's $1,850/season.

Yeah, I was thinking it was a lot more than that.   Honestly, for two people to attend a full home season of NFL football with parking, that just doesn't seem all that outrageous.  I was seriously thinking you guys were dropping $5k+ a season on this.

It varies wildly depending on where you sit. My seats are in the corner, club level (not club seats), and they're $70 a game or so. We park in the Blue Lot and I think it's like $50 a game although I could be mistaken.

If you have club seats I think they're $300 a game, maybe $350. If you sit up in the cobwebs I think there are tickets that are in the area of $40 although I'm not sure if those seats are offered as a part of a season ticket plan.

You're kidding.  That's it?   Why is it so cheap?   Was the PSL a billion dollars?

ETA:  I get that it's 10 fewer home games per season, but you pay  just BARELY more than we were spending for UTEP basketball season tix with NO parking and in the nosebleed (mid court, but 39th row of 39 rows).

I was on Wheel of Fortune when they filmed in Houston about 13 years ago.  The check I got from them was exactly what I won, no taxes or anything withheld.  If I remember correctly, when it got time to file income taxes, I ended up having to claim it as income from the state of California, and pay California state taxes on the winning (in addition to federal taxes).  I'm sure someone who actually knows something about this will tell me that that is wrong and I should have done something else, but that's what I remember happening.  I also remember it being a huge pain in the ass.

Also, they only sell liquor and wine in the state licensed liquor and wine stores.  Which are not the state licensed beer stores.  And like the state licensed beer stores, the state licensed liquor and wine stores are not allowed to sell anything other liquor and wine.  Such as mixers or ice. 

If you want to pick up some beer, gin and tonic, you have to make three stops.   

I did not know any of this, but I want to break character for a minute and say none of this surprises me.  I own a business that deals with all 50 states securities regulators and PA is one of our least favorite states to work in because they're the only state that will not allow us to email or fax documents in.   PA makes us print, sign with original signature a cover page, and snail mail documents in.     Only state.   Even Louisiana lets us email submissions.

At the end of the day I think I agree. His act is unbearable but Vitale seems to know something about basketball. Despite having seen and worked countless football games Musburger literally knows less about football than my mother.

That's actually correct.   Vitale just plays rodeo clown, but if you corner him, he really does know and appreciate his sport.

Over Bagwell's career, the park factor in his home parks was 98, moderately favoring pitchers.

Right, so this was impressive work and all, but I wasn't fucking with you.   We (you and I) figured this out about 5 years ago and the number we came up with was...at BEST 17 extra HRs.   He was nowhere near 500 and, no matter how you slice it, still a fucking Hall of Famer.

And Bagwell doesn't get credit for playing in the Astrodome. ?

The only problem with this idea is that he got a lot of HRs back playing the years he did in MM.   I know we figured it out a few years ago and the years in the Dome cost him at BEST about 17 total HRs over his career (had he played his entire career in an average HR ballpark).

So it's not like he would have had 500 HRs playing his entire career in, say, the Vet or old Busch.

He didn't get that way by lighting his cigars with million dollar bills.

I wasn't suggesting he light his money on fire.   I'm suggesting he inject some capital into his entertainment business in the hopes of investing in the future of his donkeyshit franchise.   If it only costs a few million extra a year to make this a winning team that people outside of 713 and 281 would give a fuck about, that seems like a worthwhile investment.

Since I also assume he's not as bad a business person as some want to believe, I assume you must be right; or he'd be doing it.   

So Houston is stuck with a football team that better win on accident.   Bummer.

So at work, we had to take this personality profile test to determine what "ecolor" we were...red/blue, green/yellow, etc.  This "helps us communicate in the ways other people hear".  Turns out, I'm blue/yellow, which apparently means the following:

(verbatim from my profile)

"I am a low key, inclusive person who makes others feel comfortable and wanted.  I am naturally supportive and a natural conversationalist who both listens and expresses myself with ease.  I seek positive relationships and enjoy being involved with different kinds of people in different situations.  However, there are times when I enjoy being on my own.

I have a tendency to build esteem in others and I am always looking for opportunities to seek harmony.  I sometimes lack assertiveness with others and play down my own personal needs.  I have an inherent sense of fun and enjoy seeing people happy.  I dislike confrontation or conflict."

That being said, this statement above was just too close to home.  This last Friday, we went to one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan; one of the few places we eat at that is genuinely jacket-required.   

We get there for our 8 oclock reservation all whored up.  I'm in my nice new suit with fancy pants and fancy pants sweater and feeling good about pretending to be upper crust for the evening.

Sitting across from us is a table of 4 - two couples in their 70s.   One of the men is wearing what appears to be a pajama top.   He's a large man in what could be any long sleeve t-shirt from Goodwill (the only thing more disgusting than the poor is brown people).   His wife is wearing, I shit you not, an Elmer Fudd hunting cap.   They are loud.   They are obnoxious.   They clearly have a shit-ton of money, but no idea what to spend it on (she ordered, and complained about, the chicken; you heard me, went to a world class French restaurant and ordered the fucking chicken.)

« on: December 12, 2010, 12:27:28 pm »
This is a lot of early-morning hyperbole, even for you. New coffeemaker?

GD was forced out because of a pattern of sustained failure and he'd finally pissed off the big money guys. The HCIW situation removed all of Mack's leverage and he was vulnerable to their pressure, so it was 'GD leaves, or things get REAL tight around here and pretty uncomfortable.' Muschamp wasn't happy with GD, and the money boys LOVED Muschamp, so that was a factor but the real problem was the lack of success on the offensive side of the ball and no clear decisive changes appeared to be on the horizon.

Yeah, that was a surprise. Rumblings are that the transition was supposed to be last year and that didn't happen, in part because of the failure to win against Alabama. With the timeline shaky at best, I can't blame Muschamp for going back to coach at a place he grew up in, for a perennial Top-10 school, at a raise of at least $2.1MM per year. The fact that it happened when it did was the worst part of the whole deal, IMO.

The first part...fair enough. Not much question that he has an atomic blaze under his ass right now though, and a motivated Mack Brown can accomplish some great things. He's going to have to get his hands dirty in a way he hasn't had to for a few years and maybe that'll be a good thing.

The second part, the "no plan of attack, no way of getting better immediately, and the worst part is that now we've got a lame duck season where no recruit in his right mind would sign with Texas" is a bit much. There is most certainly a plan of attack. Whether you like him or not, Mack Brown knows how to build a program and he knows how to win hearts and minds. He is now free of having to tiptoe around the elephantine HCIW in the room - hell, he's got an entire staff to fill out and no shortage of people who would be interested in coming to Texas. It's a move up for almost any coach. I'm not saying "Trust Mack," but I am saying that watching the results of the next week will tell us a lot about the man and how the program will move forward. He has a lot of freedom here to make great moves and a very short timetable to make them in. If he pulls this off, the program will be energized in a way that it hasn't been since the Muschamp hire.

Probably gonna lose some recruits. It's practically inevitable. Hopefully this will be addressed with hungry new staff members who evaluate better than the previous crew, and a head coach who a) is scrambling and b) maybe had his eyes opened to some weaknesses in the recruiting / evaluation / development equation.

By virtue of the fact that there are huge chunks of the staff gone, this is most certainly at least a rebuild. I don't see how you get to the conclusion that UT is more worried about upsetting Mack Brown than it is about winning a title next season. I don't see how you could fire a wildly successful head coach with a lot of years of service, a man who resurrected a lot of traditions that had been cast aside, a man who coached a national champion, who changed the tactics of recruiting in Texas, etc. etc. etc. and fire his ass because he had a bad year and you had your #2 QB just waiting in the wings. Sure, #2 had only thrown passes in practice, but damn, when he was in the huddle those guys LISTENED and you could just tell he was going to be a WINNER.

Which is what Mack Brown has been. I think he's definitely earned the chance to show he can pull it off again.

Hell, the game may have passed him by. He might be so myopic and so possessed by his ego that he can't let go, and he puts together a staff with some names and then crushes them by micromanaging. If so, then we'll know that he'd calcified and Texas will have to struggle for a few years until the ship gets completely righted. I don't think this will be the case though. I think he'll prop it up and get it back on the right track and then move on.

Whatever the outcome, Texas has the resources to make it right and that will happen. Next week will tell us a lot.

Wait a minute...you mean you Horn fans are dancing in the streets?  I thought this is exactly what you wanted...to clean house, starting with Muschamp (OK, starting with Brown, but Muschamp close behind).  You got your wish. 

To be honest, I don't give a shit about Muschamp leaving (that fact on its own).   Big deal.   His defense was way below average last season and, sure, he was passionate and did chest bumps with the players and shit, but whatever.   There are other coaches out there we can go get.

It's the way this entire thing went down.   GD was forced out ostensibly because Muschamp (the HCIW) wasn't willing to work with him as the OC going forward.   So GD was finally set free (thank god).   Then the DC (who happened to be HCIW) bolted anyway.    Now we're stuck with an ego resting on his laurels as the head coach, no plan of attack, no way of getting better immediately, and the worst part is that now we've got a lame duck season where no recruit in his right mind would sign with Texas.   Who the fuck would come play one season under Mack Brown and then.............................?

The program was allowed to be run into the ground; which is FINE if we plan to rebuild.   My problem with the whole situation is that it's clear that UT is more worried about upsetting Mack Brown (for some fucking reason) than actually winning a title next season.

What will be a real kick in the shorts is when Muschamp wins a title at Florida with his own players and we're still trying to recover.   

I read something last night that suggested 3 of our 6 best recruits are seriously leaning toward following Will to Florida.  If that's the truth, we'll be lucky to go 5-7 next season or the one after.   

For the Randy Shannon people here....are you all hoping he'll take over as the next HC?   If so, that doesn't excite me in the least.   He didn't do shit at Miami.   Texas shouldn't be aiming for Emerald Bowls and Sun Bowls.

A lot of people believe that type-2 diabetes can be brought on by eating more-than-usual amounts of table hookers or hookery foods (by themselves, not including the fact that eating a lot of hookery foods while not also moving your body can, in fact, cause type-2 diabetes).

Because the inability to adequately metabolize sugar is the definition of diabetes, and it's diagnosed as having persistent hyperglycemia.  I'm not sure how it's classified as an old wives tale.  That and I didn't know Santo was born a woman.

I think USC and Arizona could beat anyone on the right day. ASU is highly skilled but can't avoid self destructing (they had wiscy beat but imploded). OSU is middle of the pack and everyone else sucks (although UCLA had its way with Texas and cal has been tough at home, big game notwithstanding).

Obviously USC won't play in a bowl but I expect the top half of the conference to acquit themselves well.

They had a let down after losing their second best player (and brother of best player) to a season ending injury.

That said, there is no excuse to losing to WSU - but, if they had only played the sisters of the poor OOC this would be and 7-3 team going into their inevitable ass whipping tomorrow.

Right.  They lose tomorrow.  They lose next week.   7-5.   And that's 3rd place in the conference?  I mean, I get they won't be in 2 weeks, but right now the 3rd best team in the conference is projected to finish 7-5.   That doesn't say much for the conference.

Understand, I'm not hating on the Pac10.  I'm really not.  I'll be rooting for most of your teams in the bowls.   I happen to belong to a conference that's even worse (or at least, not better).   The Pac10 is fortunate to have two killer teams in Stanford and Oregon.   After that, it's really difficult to squint and say this conference is on par with, say, the SEC.  Even this year's SEC.    The 6th place team in the Pac10 is UW.    The 6th place team in the SEC is Alabama.   Those teams aren't even in the same galaxy.

ETA: I'm an idiot.   Alabama is in 5th place in the SEC, not 6th.   Florida is 6th.   They're still way better than UW, but not the same as the difference between Bama and UW.

I bitched about how classless Oregon is from top to bottom about 3 months ago.   

That being said, after a long discussion with a good friend of mine that played tailback for BC in the 80s before an injury ended his career and forced him to take life seriously, I've come to realize that 90% of "college" athletes are a knee injury away from prison.

I don't think you'll wish you got those matchups later. 

Every year, some conference thinks they're better than the SEC and gets the matchup they wanted.   And the SEC usually wins.

Yeah, I saw all that.  Mostly those prices are auctions and not just buy-it-now prices.   The place in NJ was the cheapest I found at $1857/bottle. 

I have to say, I don't mind spending the money on something if it's genuinely spectacular, but $1857 for a bottle of wine seems really difficult to justify.    I mean, we had a $37 bottle of Underhill Shiraz this weekend that was pretty motherfucking good.  I have a hard time believing the '59 Latour is 50+ times better.

You'll have to ask a bright fellow about that. As for me, I grew up with professional football in Houston, a lifetime of heartbreak, disappointment and betrayal. Like an abused wife I find it very, very hard to get myself out of this damaging spiral.

Right, so did my wife.  She grew up the exact same years with the same Blue and the same heartbreak and betrayal.   She still has a box of Oilers shit from her childhood; one of the few things she has kept.   

But this isn't the Oilers.

I mean, eventually even Adams felt he could make more money selling football in Nashville than Houston.   There must have been a reason for that.   You can't just keep losing and making no attempt to get better.  It's not like there's nothing else in Houston to watch/follow/care about.

The people in charge are aware, but don't care because people still pay to see them play, no matter how bad they are.  The Texans ownership have no interest in winning, only keeping the value of the franchise up.  I enable this.  I'm not proud of it.

So the Texans are the Pirates. 

In that case, I'm glad I lost interest in the team before moving to Houston, before I would have bought season tix and a jersey.

I don't understand why the pro sport leagues allow owners to get away with this.   How is it good for the company to have a franchise putting out an inferior product than the rest of the company?    I mean, at some point the people stop coming/caring.

The coaching is terrible, sure, but the collection of "talent" in the defensive secondary is the worst ever assembled in the history of the NFL. One problem is talent evaluation. They had a good player who managed to hurt the team's feelings and was allowed to leave. Another CB was released from the Texans' practice squad a couple of years ago. He is now a starter on a very effective Green Bay defense.

Remember, this is the Texans staff that at this point last year still had Arian Foster on the practice squad and was suffering through Steve Slaton.

Jacoby Jones is useless as a football player.

Ok, so what I'm wondering, mostly as a business owner, is how someone allows it to get to this point.   It's not like a flawed team that still wins games and makes the playoffs.   It's clearly a bad-to-below-average team that has no realistic chance of making playoffs or winning a division.   

It's been, what, 10+ years?   At what point does the business owner demand that management....you know....manage?

They are completely outmatched at 9 of the 11 positions.  The coaching staff, apparently, do not recognize this and refuse to try to compensate.  It's the same ol' same ol' every game, as if they have no long-term memory that the scheme they're running is a miserable failure.  The head coach enables this.

Ok, that I buy.  In that case, my question is...how does a professional football team allow themselves to have a defense that is outmatched before the game starts at 9 of 11 positions?   I get that there are good teams and bad teams.   But HOU seems to have almost gone out of its way to be where it is now.   I mean, I assume the people in charge are aware there is a massive problem.

See this...this right here....is your problem.

No, seriously.  I mean, whoever their coach is (I don't know the coaching staff) I'm sure is an actual expert at professional football defense.   Even if he's less-good at it than most of the other DCs in the NFL. 

This secondary is out of position, slow, and incapable of tackling someone in space.

The secondary is worse than every single HS team I've seen this year.

Well, how is this possible? 

I mean, we are talking about professional defensive backs here that are (I assume) coached by a real expert in the field. 

How could they be this awful?

Your secondary is worse than some colleges I've seen this year.

I'll bet Port Authority Jail is a blast after a Jets game.

What the hell's your problem? Now they have four TOs to use next half.

You totally forgot to mention that the Texans also get to start the 2nd Half with the ball on the NYJ 47.

I have to say, it's almost as if they do it on purpose.

More importantly, the Jason Garretts are losing at home at the half.   To Detroit.

But its being Fox I assume you told them to go fuck themselves.

No, I'm more than happy to help make their networks even less relevant and/or knowledgeable.

Goddamnit, why aren't you an announcer?  Can I hire you to stand behind me and scream this shit?

It's funny because minutes after I posted it, FOX called me and offered me a job as the B-team color guy.

How the fuck are you 10 yards off the receiver in a goal line D?

You don't mind giving up the TD, what kills you are those big plays.
