They should do this to the astrodome
:jnc
You do however see a strip club, office building, and gas station on the exact same block, so that's entertaining.
Wouldn't need a car, ever. Entertainment, shopping nd work all within walking distance.

I havent had a chance to watch it yet but no way could there ever be a bad episode of that show.
Woody Johnson and the black holes he tosses his mistresses in when he's done with them.
Spoiler: Bill taught him well.
finding the age of the Earth, and the history of lead
I guess I'm just not a fan when they go full history lesson

the NFL wants to move the draft back even further?! and move the Combine back?! NOOO!
Well we do need more time to make sure we analyze every detail, of every pick. What could go wrong?

The Pro Bowl is a cancer. Everybody asks for skills competitions, yet they persist in this asshole Pro Bowl shit
And fuck off with that salary cap nonsense. I want to see the Cowboys in the Superbowl every damn year!

More use for Dave Dameshek (seriously why is he even on the network)
Now you are speaking my language.
...except the Cowboys. There is no relation to the salary cap inhibiting their failures.

Yeah, lot of teams feeding BS to the press.
I wasn't real high on him, but have since come around. He's a lot smarter than he gets credits for and he's really not comparable to Pryor except being athletic. Much better pocket presence, bigger arm, more accurate, smarter. I think if he falls to 5 there's a chance Reggie surprises us all and takes him. (Unless Clowney or Teddy still there) And sitting him a year would be good for him rather than throwing him into the fire.
I disagree. I think our off-season plugged some immediate holes short term and lets us take someone to build around. I think the plan may have been to take a QB all along. In the last 10 years or so, Raiders have passed on Rodgers, Cutler and Rivers all in the 1st. I just don't see us passing on a starter/possible franchise guy in Teddy or JFF. I think Reggie can get quality starters to contribute immediately in the 2nd and 3rd.

I generally trust your assessment, but idk, if Teddy is there yeah I can see us getting him...maybe. I can also see us feigning interest in order to entice a trade. As much as I like the idea of drafting elsewhere (preferrably along D-Line), I can see grabbing a QB like that. I sorta do like Johnny Football, and I think there is a possibility he falls pretty far back if he isn't snatched up in the first 6-8 picks. I'd just prefer somebody with a higher impact for the first round pick, at this point.

It wasn't bad but the last half of the episode was a history lesson on lead which was weird since they didn't connect it with anything regarding space/universe/etc.
Imagine if the NFL played the Pro Bowl in the middle of the season like the other sports do...no one would play ahha
Lead does stop gamma rays I believe...

It was connected to the discovery of the age of the earth/solar system.
And clean rooms
And ice cores
And corporations hiring goons to produce fake science so they can keep making money the same way for another half-century while the world burns.
All of this will be relevant going forward.
What they want is to have an "event" each month, but ultimately that involves moving free agency, which the players are against. I still think part of the offseason fatigue this year was b/c Houston never settled on a pick early on. First time in a long time that no one knew what was going to happen, so the storyline stayed the same the whole draft season
We don't know if they have settled ot not. If they have and just not let it out good for them. Fuck everyone.

Roger Goodell just wants to be able to stand in front of the camera more. Everyone should stop hating.

I think they settled on clowney a long time ago. This has all been drawn out because they are hoping someone will blow them away with an offer for the top pick.
Himynameischris

Yes but that happened in the first half
And they never went into that, unless they are saving it for the next episode.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the episode, but I can understand why some people think it was the worst one so far.
the majority of that episode felt like something I'd watch back in school
I guess I just want more space and cool presentation

As everyone knows, because it's a third of what I post about outside of The Rams and giving all of you shit, I have been baking bread.
I met a guy at my work who was a bread baker. I blew it off. It's just bread, you know? Just a vehicle for meats and cheeses. You can't just eat bread.
When I took a bite it was immediately clear this was the best bread I've ever had. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. Rustic sourdough, the crust a deep rich dark brown that would shatter a geriatrics dentures. A crumb that was light and airy and full of flavor. I was hooked and after talking with my friend about it, I thought I would give it a spin, with minimal effort of course.
I didn't tell him I was going to try baking, I just googled and youtubed some stuff, and for Thanksgiving I made my first white bread loaves:
I hated them. Dense and flavorless. I knew I had a long way to go.
So I did some research on how to get a better crust and crumb
I was getting better, but it was still boring white bread. Still flavorless bullshit. So I began researching sourdough and reading about catching the wild yeast that is in the air around us. So I made a starter with Pineapple juice as bait and soon enough I had my own wild yeast. So I started sourdough with many failures.
I also started talking to my friend about it, and he gave me a lot of great advice. This included lending me a book by the name of Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson of San Francisco area.
The pictures in the book were incredible, and Robertson's stories of traveling the US and Europe in search of the perfect loaf was compelling.
And soon I made my first loaf I was happy with
The crumb was still a little dense though and not opening up like I wanted.
This was a bad time. I messed up three doughs in a row.
They would just never come together. Never gain any structural integrity or tension and would just run on the counter when I would try to shape the loaf. Many pizzas were made from this.
Without pineapple, of course.
But I didn't want pizza. I wanted bread. I kept trying. I reduced my dough hydration from 75% to 70%, and it seemed to help.
My friend was still critical of my crust coloration, and I wanted to get back to 75% hydration. So today I finally made what is unequivocally my most successful loaf.
She's beautiful. The color is amazing. The sound of the crackling crust as it cools is beautiful.
75% hydration
4.5 hour bulk fermentation
1 hour bench rest and shaping
8 hour rise overnight in the fridge
4 ingredients:
Unbleached all purpose flour
Water
Yeast
Salt
