There really isn’t a whole hell of a lot to hang you’re hat on as a New Mexican. TX, AZ, CO all get way more attention. There isn’t much going on in southern NM, so I can feel this person getting a little testy. Hell all anyone knows of southern NM is Roswell, nukes and now Hatch Chiles.

How long has it been? I cut the cord with ESPN around ‘08/’09 after an especially bad ‘Rivers is just like Leaf’ comparison. I think they were already getting bad with the hot takes before that, but that was the day I quit ESPN.

I remember being sick and staying home from school some time in the late 80s and watching Canadian Football.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how much of the ‘Hot Takes Crowd’ they let go. I stopped watching ESPN due to all the ‘hot takes’. Back before the NFL divorced me, I just stuck to to NFLN and would drop by ESPN during the NBA playoffs. Now, I try to watch as little ESPN as possible but still get the basketball…

Isn’t he the guy that is always at Cowboy’s HQ during the draft as well? As much as they like showing the Cowboys on TV, you’d think they’d wait until Monday to cut him.

I respect Durant made the decision that he felt he had to make for himself. But damn... Playoffs would be a lot more interesting if he was on OKC and not the Warriors.

Or, maybe call the moving screen/pick? I really don’t have a problem with moving screens and such normally, but I’d rather they call that than some asshole flailing his body to draw a foul.

And if Durant goes back to OKC and Westbrook picks up a championship in two years, the stories all change again.

I usually volunteer for the couch, so I can watch TV or play the Xbox. She can have the bed, I’ll take the dogs and the TV.

To me, Reggie Miller really did the most to popularize this style of play. He’d shoot and kick his legs out to ‘draw’ contact and would somehow get the calls. Now everyone uses those tricks.

How cheap our politicians are to buy off is pretty damn amazing. And theoretically, they don’t even get the money, it is just for their campaign. They’ll sell us all out for money they can’t (theoretically) even keep and it isn’t even expensive (just more than I can afford).

I was just eating my lunch while reading this article and your comment. Coincidentally this lunch included a falafel or three and at no time did the thought of O’Reilly masturbating with a falafel diminish my enjoyment of my lunch. No point other than, falafels are fucking good.

It is good for when vendors take you to dinner. Almost had the vendors get this the other night, but in the end my boss let them off the hook when we saw the price per shot.

My dog jumped out of my bedroom window on the second floor one night. She was fairly fresh from the pound and was wearing her shock collar. None of this woke me up, but the next morning I couldn’t figure out why the screen was busted out of my window or where the fuck my dog was. I finally thought to open the front…

I really hate the ‘offensive player jumps into the defensive player to draw a foul’ play. I hated watching Reggie Miller make that a key part of his game and perfect the move. I have hated watching this become a key offensive strategy.

I’m out of the NFL game (thanks Spanos), but I read Barnwell’s last couple columns today. He usually has smart columns that rely more on analytics. I guess it could be said he may lean into the ‘advanced stats’ (which are still pretty subjective in football) a little too hard, but at least it is analysis with more…

100% covered as long as you use a military hospital. Downside is military doctors tend to suck. Pretty sure I tore my ACL 25 yrs prior actually getting it fixed a few years back. As a dependent I had multiple doctors fail to notice this even though I would ‘twist’ or ‘pop’ my knee fairly consistently in my childhood…

I did a brief google, and I learned that the way the Canadian military handles its pay is vastly different to how the US Military handles theirs. US is a table with rank and time on it and you find your rank and time in service and that is your pay.

As an E-4 with kids, you need something like WIC to cover food. I found this out as an E-4 with kids.

Recruiter called for my sons (17 and 18)... I did my time, and no fucking way will my kids enlist under this administration. I’ve talked to other fathers that are vets, and they have agreed. Granted, it isn’t like polled a bunch of guys, but the general consensus I get around the other vet-Dads is ‘Fuck No’.
