I wouldn't eat Little Caesars if someone gave me $5. I agree on the Papa John's sugar sauce, but I still think it's better than LC.

Whenever I hear Rodgers talk about wanting a game like this at home, I remind myself that he had every opportunity for one back in 2011 and that 15-1 team got smoked by the Giants at home in the divisional round. They also lost a home playoff game to the 49ers in a divisional round. His best postseason play has actually happened on the road, if he really wants to look at it compared to results at home playoff games. No they didn't. They lost a home Wild Card game vs. the 12-4 Niners the year Rodgers missed half the season and they were 8-7-1. They did lose a road divisional game the prior year and gave up 45 points. They were not expected to win either game and the former was incredibly close especially when most had them getting blown out. -
Yeah sorry but I'm not buying that that becomes the narrative. Maybe if the radio forces it hard enough. The narrative has always been that the defense sucks and that's the correct narrative. If they lose this weekend the narrative is that a far superior team knocked them out. That he can't win it makes no sense. He's been an underdog in 3/4 of those games.

If memory serves the win would be the '16 game in Dallas and the loss is to Kap and the 49ers in '13.

I think Pizza Hut is awful, but I legitimately like Domino's and think it holds up against most non-chain places. I loved the Triple Deckeroni and Pizza Hut way back in the day but not sure how it would hold up against time. Dom's went through a period of near bankruptcy but they really came back nicely. Now that Papa Murphy's has been mentioned, I will shamefully admit to enjoying the take and bakes at Walmart. I've yet to find a better frozen pizza value. My brother worked at Pizza Hut in the late 90s. The "pan crust" pizza is literally a deep fried donut with tomato sauce on it. They would saturate the pan with a half inch of oil before they put the crust in.

Second Wild Tomato, I think they have two locations, Fish Creek and Egg Harbor. It might be the best I've had in WI. I think there are two classes of pizza. The artisan, "actually good" pizza like WT, and the stuff you want after polishing half a liter of Jack.
-
Pineapple's fine. But I hate when anyone tries to pass off pesto pizza or anything without tomato sauce as pizza. I'll eat them and they're good, but that's a flatbread homie it's not a pizza.
-
Are you trying to say that something's off about a pizza joint going up in flames at 6am?

The mention of Whitewater reminded me Rosa's, which I knew closed and I thought I heard it wasn't reopening. A random Google later and I see it very much reopened last summer. I loved that place. Then I remembered a conversation with my SIL's father, a claims adjuster. He told me a while ago that the fire (reason it closed) was basically an arson they couldn't prove definitively.

NIT ceiling is a ridiculous statement. There's unprecedented parity this year. If they go 9-5 they're 100% in and they probably don't have to do that. I'm by no means a big UW fan but they're getting in unless they finish out .500. You might think they're on the cutting line until you actually look at the bracket. They're getting in.

Twins Sign Donaldson - Four Year/$92 Million
OldSchoolSnapper replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm ok with them sitting this one out. But with just about every one of these signings, there's someone saying "it's not a smart gamble for a team like the Brewers to make." To some degree all of FA is a gamble. If we do ever want the Brewers to sign the big names, it's going to be a gamble. I mean, Cain was a gamble and it may not turn out to be such a good one if he's really falling apart. -
Twins Sign Donaldson - Four Year/$92 Million

I don't think there's a big move coming. I'm thinking they'll add some pitching but it will be the typical value buy. I think this contract would have been ok. It'd be nice for 2 years and then we'd probably spend the last one or two counting it down and watching him fall apart. Wouldn't have loved it, wouldn't have hated it. -

You could say that about almost any pro sports team. I doubt Marshfield and Appleton are really raising the bottom line too much. -
Twins Sign Donaldson - Four Year/$92 Million
OldSchoolSnapper replied to JDBrewCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Not even remotely disappointed because at this point I felt it was 0% he was coming here. I've accepted it's Gyorko and Sogard. I hate it but I'll get behind it. -
I don't think any player endorsements will suffer. People will have moved on from this by Opening Day. They weren't punished and nobody is going to care. People have forgiven way worse.

I like Transfer in MKE. I find the pizza in MKE to be lacking once you're not part of the 3am crowd. Not that it's bad, it's just not anything special. Transfer is good though.
-
I guess I don't agree. I think they got it mostly right. I would've stripped the title but I never thought it would happen. Stripping the title is mostly ceremonious, but in the pros I think it can be significant. You can't use that title in any promotional material or merchandise going forward.

Frankly the idea that he busted a monitor because it was so immoral all seems a bit theatrical. MLB people break stuff all the time. That monitor could have been smashed by any angry person walking down the hallway because of a strikeout. Awfully hard for me to reconcile him supposedly hating it that much with completely gaslighting the questions about cheating. You could Belichick and just say "next" and it would have aged better than what he said.
-
The player suspensions are just not realistic. You're not punishing the Astros then, you're punishing teams these guys play for today. You could probably make an argument for suspending the entire roster then. What player is going to come forward and tattle on the team in the middle of the season? Nobody that wants to play for more than a cup of coffee. I just can't see that being a reasonable thing. The only realistic punishment is the one they doled out, the people in charge who put this in motion.
-
That's kind of the most likely outcome in my head. One where it's technically in reach, but they're down like 8 the entire game and just never really pose a threat.

Nah, no sympathy for Hinch, not after this: "And in reality it’s a joke. But Major League Baseball does a lot to ensure the fairness of the game. There’s people everywhere. If you go through the dugouts and the clubhouses and the hallways, there’s like so many people around that are doing this,” Hinch said in a diatribe after being asked about the reports. "And then when I get contacted about some questions about whistling, it made me laugh because it’s ridiculous. And had I known that it would take something like that to set off the Yankees or any other team, we would have practiced it in Spring Training. And we would have got — it apparently works, even when it doesn’t happen. There’s nothing going on other than the competition on the field. The fact that I had to field the question before a really, really cool game at Yankee Stadium is unfortunate. But we can put it to rest. That will be the last question I answer about pitch tipping or pitch stealing.” That's going awfully far out of your way to defend something you're supposedly so staunchly against.

Worth nothing that Rodgers has been pretty terrible in all of those NFCCGs including the win. One of the INTs against Seattle should have been a free play, but he's due to play a good game.
-
This is where I am. It takes one vintage performance and this is a game. If we get that, one interception could end up being the difference. I'm optimistic about the game and I don't know why. It just sort of feels like a perfect storm. We have a defense that's been playing pretty well, aging vet QB that might be peaking at just the right time, and nobody is giving them a chance. And the storyline of them passing on Rodgers in the draft. Remembers me of the 1995 divisional game where no one gave the Packers any shot at they kicked them in the mouth early and won by 10. I know Rodgers has never really struggled with confidence but that "We'll see you later on" clip pumped me up.

NFC Divisonal Playoffs: Seahawks @ Packers Sunday, Jan 12th, 5:40PM
OldSchoolSnapper replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
Why? I think that's a much more reasonable conclusion. Let the guy run back the touchdown and see if the knee was down. I mean in that example it's a scoring play so it gets looked at anyway. I hate the whole thing as I've made clear, but that makes much more sense than deciding it wasn't a fumble when the guy is flipped upside down for .0001 seconds and you *think* he was down. I mean, that situation seems like one of the first that got replay back into the game anyway. If the Packers had scooped that up and run it back but the ref came in ruling it dead, I'm pretty sure even on a challenge they won't award the TD. They give the Packers the ball at the spot. I recall seeing that in a game this year or last year. -
How in the world could they get something like that going in half an hour? They figured out that Stearns is unhappy with the budget and that they want to hire him?
