We also set the new Guinness World Record for loudest outdoor stadium. It was a good night for KC!
UGH, god damned patriots. I don't know what that was, but it wasn't Patriots football!

There will be some sort of revenge for this! :chuckle:

Pretty much time to get rid of McDaniels to start with. Then perhaps stop filling the team with rookies...oh and maybe Brady can unfvckhimself and learn how to throw the ball to more than 2 people.

We got by the last few years because we would put up over 30 pints a game. So our defense didn't have to be elite. But the years we won the Bowls, we had a baller defense...just sayin.

I still love the Pats, but they are sucking from the top down this year.

Thank theimaginaryfigurepeoplebelievein for Hockey season!

This all. But as far as throwing to two people- who have we got worth a damn? Amendola? NAH. Dropson...err Dobson? hell no. Tim Wright? He's a rookie, but I bet he's a better option than most of the receivers, dammit.
Just like McCown, without good receivers to throw to, you're stuck in the water.

Amendola is only bad because he gets hurt. Right now he's not hurt, yet he's not involved. There are a metric ton of athletes out there that can catch the ball and run patterns, don't forget that. The Pats just seem to be sucking the fat moosecock when it comes to finding them. Kraft needs to pny up and pay for some receivers...and perhaps consider paying the ones you have, what they're worth instead of letting them go... *coughs the coksucker that thought trading Mankins was a good idea should be dragged through the streets of South Boston and stoned nearly to death, i'll take him from there coughs some more*...

Getting rid of anyone from the O line was a terrible idea. Money or not, everything starts there. Peyton has good receivers, sure- but without his I line giving him time to find one, he'd be sacked like Tannehill was last year. Speaking of- the dolphins O line is damn decent this year.

We had our firstKrav Maga class last night. Got it on a groupon deal, really tough class and very entertaining. I'm not sure Lindsey had ever been hit/rocked before (we were using pads) but she took it well. Gotta be aggressive! She does have the endurance though.

Very cool dude! Kate and I are going to be getting our concealed carry permits here shortly. Did you get yours yet? Can't remember if we discussed this...many beers have since formatted those memories.

Yup! I have my CC, but no firearms! Its always something else. Subaru, Miata, weddings *(though those are fun), baby showers, and now Xmas is coming up and I've got to start thinking about that budget. One day, we'll all make enough money to not worry about this kinda thing. Til then, I'm disarmed.

It's not great looking but it's very functional and it has a lifetime no questions asked warranty. 100% American made.

Wow.

However, I don't think they will sell to MA.

Well, look like there is a dealer who carries the brand not far from my house. I'm going to head over there after work soon and buy myself a cheap a** gun and go fire the piss out of it.

Here's some randomness... I heard this expression spoke by an older guy yesterday, and being the bored internet ninja I am, I found this interesting explanation image:

And I thought it had something to do with balls or whatnot. Not often do I learn something new like that!

Morning folks!
About damn time the Pats made it happen! I lost on my pick'em, but its rare to win anyway. I really like how those two first drives that resulted in touchdowns put the proverbial sock back in the Pats fans mouths.

YO.

Peyton with 44 points for my fantasy team. WORD.

That's the only part of football I pay attention to is enough for my fantasy stuff. I'm the hockey guy in my group of friends and right now I'm annihilating all the hardcore football guys in fantasy football and they're pissed.

PAGING BEN - I want a link to your 240 FS thread/ad, and I can't page back through this thread because lazy.

That must kill them.
The only thing that would make it better is if your team was autopicked by the program.

Here's to hoping Marshawn Lynch gets 30 points tonight and digs me out of the hole!

That is a pretty fair price, IMO. All stock, unmolested. Single cam or not, you've got to take what you can get these days.
That is probably the most highly optioned fastback I've ever seen.

My first car was a 91, completely stock like that when I got it. Brings back memories...

I had a 90 with the single slammer, too. Was a fun car until the head gasket blew. I put a DOHC engine in it and drove it that way for a few years.

I'm a Sabres fan man, and my year is already made that we beat the caps 6-1 in the preseason. LOL it's already better than all of last season.

My second team is the Predators due to living proximity and the woman, and I'm very excited about Laviolette and the more offensively-tuned system. I'm going to Preds/Stars this Saturday for the weekend opener. I am STOKED.

It looks like the east will be a tossup again, but I predict that a western conference team will have the cup again this year, unless San Jose makes it to the cup final, in which case they will choke. Dallas will be a contender this year as they made some good moves over the summer, and I think Nashville will do very well as long as they can keep their main guys healthy (Rinne mostly).

All this sports talk is confusing. I honestly have kept up with zero sports in the past few years. Even coming from a diehard UGA football family, I haven't even watched a single game this season. I guess I need to make some time to catch up.

I do enjoy some hockey, but I haven't watched a single game since we moved from Atlanta.

Ray - Did you de-turbo the Miata yet? If you decide to sell the setup let me know. I'd like to go ahead and start working on the wife about letting me spend the money if I think I can swing it :gapteeth:

My second team is Colorado, only because Bourque went there to win a Cup before he retired. My wifeunit is a Sabre's fan being from that locale. She also had a thing for Brendan Shanahan, so she likes Detroit as well. She's a damn Bills fan too...

Not much love this time of the year...lol.

Sports is a commitment. You should see Lindsey pour over her fantasy team. I just kinda wing it. It shows since my team sucks. :chuckle:

The head is going back on the car on Wednesday. The Navy guy is still interested in the car with the turbo, but there is no guarantee that he'll buy it. If he isn't interested in it when I talk to him this weekend, I will definitely de-mod it and the goodies are all yours. Just checking since you didn't make any further mention earlier- have you had a chance to read the last full disclosure post a page back?
Gist of it:
I'd sell the "dumb parts," as Brian calls them, (manifold, down pipe, j pipe, turbo) for much less than market since they're not the highest quality pieces. The manifold has fine cracks that were welded and has a slight leak, the turbo works perfectly fine and has no problems aside from having a hose clamp holding the waste gate pin from falling down and making it open all the time(though it does function 100% correctly with the fix), and the down pipe is actually perfectly fine.
The rest of the parts- intercooler & piping, Wideband, BOV, Mesagquirt, injectors, etc are where I didn't go cheap on the car.


Either way, it couldn't hurt to start talking to the wifey- it'll never hurt to get her thinking about it if you catch her in the right mood!

Yeah I used to try harder to keep up with sports, but I found myself yawning a lot so I gave it up for a while. :chuckle:

I read the disclosure the other day and am cool with all of that. I honestly will probably buy a new manifold, but if the price is right I want to get everything. There really isn't any use in me buying the dumb parts if i'm not buying everything else, because I already have a turbo and injectors sitting on the workbench.

I've already been telling her i'd like to buy the setup. The only thing I can forsee blocking me is the moving expenses coming up. If our house sits on the market too long, my funds may get limited until tax season but we'll see.

Very cool, glad you had a chance to read all that.

Since I won't be working on cars as often (hopefully), a new hobby has to be found. I keep seeing you guys talk about gaming on bookface and am thinking about getting into that. But I don't know whether to get an X1 or a PS4. I certainly do not need both. But, I would like to play with you guys, too. That Destiny game seems fun, what little I played in Game Stop. The only trouble with that hobby is that I might feel like I've literally wasted time that could have been spent on something more productive and infinitely more useful.

I'm considering buying a welder or two and making better automotive based furniture, or maybe getting into model cars again. I'd brew beer, but I don't drink it all that fast.
