Beer distributer BIL says VaS 6-packs should be available in stores here pretty soon...
Victor Sinclair making beer now too?  Hope it is better than the cigars. ;D

Ya. I was trying to lure Joe out. You know the code too.  :P

Besides, they couldn't do much worse.
Worked.    Dad isn't around so figured I would fill in for him. ;)

Alright, I'm sneaking outta here before anything else shows up on my desk. Enjoy the rest of the day, all!
Yeah don't want to see you on overtime!  Have a good afternoon.

Warren Sapp arrested for solicitation. Apparently, Pete Carroll was almost caught in the same sting, but he passed.


Ba Dum Bum.
Hey, now...you can have free reign on Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch.  We'll let Sherm defend himself, too.  Have a field day with Darrell Bevell.  But you pick on St. Pete or St. Russell and you're picking a fight. >:(
Get out your fight'n tools!
You say that like they aren't already on my person... ;-)
Russel is a great quarterback but I am not fond of those who carry on and cry for tv, you know the John Boener and Teboe types.   Pete is an asshole simple as that but so are most of the rest of the overpaid coaches both college and pro.  Just my 2 cents worth don't live up there and don't pay their salaries so don't really much matter since they lost anyway.   But - did Pete or Russel throw the game?????
Russell wasn't carrying on for TV, TV just happened to catch it.  I've met the man, briefly.  He's the real deal...a profoundly decent and guileless human being, but as driven as any great quarterback has to be.  Not as annoyingly so as Tom Brady, and Russell isn't the closet trash-talker Brady is.  So with the fans up here, Russell Wilson walks on water - even with skeptical hardasses like me. 

Pete Carroll...I dunno, there's the baggage from USC, and being a winning coach - as you say - requires being somewhere toward the shitty end of the asshole spectrum.  But he's still somewhere this side of Bellichick, Lombardi, Brown, Paterno, Switzer, Walsh, and even Holmgren.  The jury is still out whether he'll be as successful as those guys.  But he's taken the Seahawks to the top of the mountain, so I'm a fan.  But I was a Raider fan from birth to 1979, so obviously I have a tolerance for assholes on the gridiron. 

As for throwing the game...I'm in the minority there by a long shot.  It wasn't a bad call.  It was a risky call that required flawless execution by the Hawks and less than flawless defense by the Patriots to work.  But the execution was flawed and the defense was transcendently good.  Game over.  Brady got the MVP, but he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler - and in my opinion rightly so.  That rook made the read and play of a career.  Should Bevell have called a different play? Probably.  To Marshawn?  Maybe.  But regardless of what Emmitt Smith says, it was nowhere near the worst call in NFL history.

Nice!!!  It's not cheap but I love that stuff.

No Kidding. I bought up about 6 bombers when the seasonal stock came around. Think they were @ $8 ea.

I'd love to get 'em for the 2 for $10 you talk about. Getting a 6 for $12 would be like a bargain.

Did not even know we had a border.  Now Mexico has one and they enforce it heavily but don't think the U.S. has one anymore.

I figure Mexico is more concerned with the Guatemalan one, and that's gotta be significantly shorter... twss
Mexico enforces the chit out of the border if Muricans try to slip in on them or get caught with illegal stuff (guns and ammo mostly) at the vehicle crossings.

No doubt, they love to bust 'em some Muricans, but I figure going IN wasn't as big a deal as coming back out. There is no love loss for the folks south of their boarder though.
Most of the national economies south of the border would take a nose dive if the money sent home by " immigrants" was cut off.  Foreign exchange.  Just notice all the Western Union offices in ethnic neighborhoods.  Send cash home!
And phone cards.

See ya, Joe. Enjoy.

As to the play - it is easy to drive in the rear view mirror.   An elevated risk play for sure but I don't think it was up front a terrible call.  Then again I don't get paid $7 million/year to know the right play.

Sheesh, Bret. You writing a book. jk

I'm in agreement on the play. He's fvckin brilliant if it works. Everyone says they should have run, and maybe I do as well, but there was about 30 sec left with only 1 timeout remaining. If they run and don't get in, they have 2 quick passes to make it after they call that last TO. So, They may have had to call that play inevitably. Oh, well.

Agreed.  It's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and it seems strange that you wouldn't use, arguably the best running back in the game, for that last play... But had the pass been completed successfully everyone would have said he was a genius.

Is this a cigar site?  If so thought i would pitch this out as some like them I think.

CLE Cuarenta Corona 5 Pack   $19.98 on the Mash with FS

Somebody go wake up Raz.

Pretty good deal there. I've only seen the Jam robustos regularly for less. 10/29

JWacky math: $19.98x(3) deals=59.94-catsrule=49.75... $3.31 per stick, DELIVERED!

Bret may have spent all his money on Oxy by now though.  ;)
Yeah well at least Jwacky math is better than SFish Math because he would show all that then you find out no FS. .......
Bite me!

Got bombers here for $11.95.   They must have expanded their production because all of a sudden since about 2 weeks ago a lot of their stuff has shown up on the shelves and normally we only see one or two selections at most.  Often have the Big Eye and nothing else.   I am not a big fan of the VaS but I am sure enough a huge fan of the Sculpen, when I can get it here it is $13.99/6 pak.  Friend in Denver says they get Sculpen now too and it is the same price as I pay here.
