  1. Sorry Tank! I'd had a few beers that night. Loved the joke!
  2. Funny, I dropped by the Best Buy Outlet near my office earlier today. I saw a couple of PCs for under $300 and then I noticed that both of them only had 8GB of RAM. I would steer clear of that. They had some really nice displays though. I saw a 32” 1440p 165 Hz UHD display for $250.
  3. Pfft! They stole that look from us Montanans. My Junior High and High School mascots were the Lumberjacks and the Loggers.
  4. I’ve built my last 5 PCs. My latest was a $420 upgrade from a i9-9900K to a 12900K. I ended up selling the old CPU/motherboard, RAM and an old AIO for $350 to my brother. I’m so fortunate to have a nearby MicroCenter.
  5. I don't know what happened. I loved watching the All-Star events and the game. Its just not that interesting anymore. The players have no beef against each other and it just becomes a Harlem Globe Trotters game on steroids. I can say the same for the Pro Bowl. Flag Football?
  6. Here's a the decent Alienware Aurora 16. I think that the Power Supply is a bit weak and only having 16GB of RAM is behind the times. It's $1179 and a decent 1080p rig. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r16-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r16-desktop/useahctor16i11
  7. Dell makes the Alienware PCs. They aren't what they used to be, but if he can get you a family discount, I'm sure that you could get a pretty solid rig for around $1,000.
  8. It's been a few years. It used to be that you would approach to the podium to get a group number to board the plane. Now, I think it's the time that you check in at the airport, terminal, where you get to choose your seat. It's a bit inconvenient, but at least you're able to sit together with your group on the plane.
  9. Fly Southwest. They have good prices and pretty nice planes.

    He was a member of the 85 Bears. I saw him play, back in the day.

    So, Steve McMichael finally gets voted into the Pro Football HOF. The guy is nearly dead at this point and just a horrible shell of his former self.
  12. For last place! Conference and SB pick results Gamevet: Conf = 1-1 / Superbowl = 1-0 Krawlie Conf = 0-2 / Superbowl = 0-1 Metropolis Conf = 1-1 / Superbowl = 0-1 Ms. Spam: Conf = 0-2 / Superbowl = 0-1 Post Season Overall results Gamevet: 9-4 Metropoli: 7-6 Ms. Spam: 7-6 Krawlie: 7-6 It took 3 seasons to get back in the saddle again. I went from worst to 1st within the last 5 weeks of the season. It was a rough ride to get there. Congratulations on having such a competitive season. It would have been crazy if San Francisco had won. We would have ended it with a 4 way tie.
  13. This is a battle of defenses. KC did this to Baltimore. That was a very good offense they shut down in the AFC Championship. That 49’ers defense is pretty tough too.
  14. I remember some kids that must of had a crush on the girl next door. They turned my water hose on at 2 am on a Saturday morning. The idiots placed a giant trash can next to the side of the house and proceeded to fill it using my hose. I came outside when I heard the water running and they booked it down the lawn.
  15. What kid is up at 4 am on a week day? Does he not go to school?
  16. That’s unreal! Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer as well, some 10 years ago. Toby’s song “Shoulda’ been a Cowboy” was played during a Cowboys Super Bowl Victory back in the 90’s. He also had a song about Desert Storm called” Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”, that got brief airtime on various music radio stations.
  17. I mostly watch PC Tech channels and those centered around retro video games. PC Tech Channels Linus Media Group Paul's Hardware Gamer's Nexus Jayztwocents Hardware Unboxed Digital Foundry Vidya Games Sega Lord-X Retro Bird (funny guy) Game Sack Metal Jesus Rocks Angry Joe Gaming Historian There was on tech channel I was subbed to a little over 5 years. He was a guy from New Zealand, that did computer hardware comparisons. His show was Tech Showdown. His final months were just brutal. His girlfriend moved out and decided to take a break from YT. He went to Vietnam and was doing short videos about his trip. He seemed to be having a good time, but then he kind of disappeared for a few weeks. He ended up getting 2 different bacterial infections from the food he had eaten. The doctors couldn't fight both and he eventually died from it. Still sad about that. He was a nice guy.
  18. He honestly believes that without Carl Weathers, Rocky wouldn't have seen the success it did. He brought a powerful, charismatic character that could talk the talk, and walk the walk. It was the perfect opponent for little old Rocky to step into the ring with. Stallone pretty much pushed all his chips to the center of the table, when he bet on Rocky.
  19. Sly put up a video honoring his friend. He was the perfect Apollo Creed!
  20. You gotta know somebody to get any sort of deals on SB tickets. It’s the most watched sporting event in North America.
  21. Divisional Round results have been added to the 3rd post above.
  22. Dan Campbell giveth and he taketh away. He kicks a field goal instead of going for it on 4th down and they have a chance to take it into over time.
