    It was a TGI Friday's. I'm sure it was "fine," I never actually ate there and never would, but that whole ilk of Applebees, TGI, Chili etc. restaurants are all generally the same. Obviously I don't know the financials but you can't ask for a better location on gameday with that kind of captive audience. What I don't know is how well that carried through the rest of the year. which I assume would be a major problem for any local place. It's not a great area any other time. That's too bad, because it would be awesome to have a local spot in there. As something of a foodie I would love to have a unique spot inside. While they do offer quite a variety at MP, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I concede it is a ballpark, but that hasn't stopped many of the other parks I've been to from having really great options. A lot of summer days I go in way early for SSH stuff and I would eat at a cool place, but I'm just not eating at a TGI.

    The baseball may be interesting but I have very little rooting interest once the Brewers, A's and Twins are knocked off. At this point I'm pulling for Atlanta. If they lose it's all varying degrees of who cares. Dare I say I'd probably slightly pull for the Yanks at that point just for the sake of tradition and them coming into town next year.

    Thank God. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. That is such a massive missed opportunity. I'm sure it was harder to find a tenant when they built the place, but I really hope they get this right. An original restaurant or just something local like a Maxie's or something would be awesome. It doesn't sound from reading that that's what we're going to get, but anything would be better than a Friday's.

    Ticket vendor that crashes the hour before they sell tickets and manually processing orders in 2018, it is not like I'm "complaining" about minor issues. They suck at doing this, that much is clear. BTW, I have it confirmed they WILL be locking people out, so don't sell your presale tix. I'll just say that outside of the personal enjoyment of seeing the Brewers in the World Series, the second greatest benefit would be the lack of posts fretting about when the deposit will be credited back. Look out, you're going to give this guy an aneurysm. But no...it was very slow last year. Expect more of the same.

    What a snooze this is going to be. A real strong chance the LCS is New York, Houston, LA and St. Louis. Haven't watched any of it, wake me up when it's over.

    Progressive Insurance is the only insurance provider that I know that qualifies hitting a deer as an "at fault accident" on the part of the driver.

    It's no less of a production than a summer blockbuster. Saying stuff about the Packers is a click machine. As is pretending to defend the Cowboys, America's lightning rod as it pertains to football. I don't know how anyone over 13 watches those Bayless-type shows or listens to a word those figures say.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'd rather he not taunt but I stopped thinking about it 5 seconds later. It doesn't do anything positive or negative besides make most opposing fans think our team is full of douches. Which is meaningless.

    I don't see the incremental value being there for a team to offer the mammoth deal people think it would take to pry Hader. You offer the farm for Christian Yelich, not for a RP when most of the suitors can just go out buy someone not as good, but good enough without dealing prospects. I doubt he gets traded, but if he does, I think most of this place would be very underwhelmed by the return.

    Nothing Bayless says is an opinion. He's a highly paid troll.

    The next 5 games of the schedule aren't as tough as the first 5 games. Carolina, Detroit and Oakland are middle of the pack teams. SD is talented, and the Chiefs are obviously very good. Why can't we have a stretch like the Patriots? Where they played Buffalo(4-1, and who they barely beat after knocking out Josh Allen on a cheap shot) and 4 other teams with a combined 1-19 record. Yet somehow 12 of the 16 teams we play this year are currently above 500, and LAC will probably be over 500 by the time this season is over. The Patriots are the Patriots and they're incredible, but a very overlooked part of their dynasty has been that consistently awful division. They almost never have to battle it out for the playoffs or a bye.

    His mustache obviously. His point is certainly valid but one that won't go over well here.

    I don't really get all the Aikman and Buck complaints and never have. They say plenty of rosy things about the Packers. There were more than a few times yesterday he referred to Cowboys penalties as obvious penalties. I just think he hates to say it because those hits used to be routine and nobody thought anything of them. I've never understood where that whole movement comes from. It's always been truly bizarre to me especially because both really lay the love on Rodgers. It's always been kind of annoying to me. I don't think people understand that national TV guys are going to call games differently than Brian and Bill. I can't think of any other reason people get so bothered by them because they seem to call things pretty evenly.

    The state of football all but assures your defense isn't going to look that good even if it is good. You can blank the Redskins and Dolphins of the world but any +QB is going to get a lot of yards, which Dak did on 44 passes. He finished with a QBR of 27. Unless your DB gets away with slapping a guy in the head it's just very difficult to contain anything average and above passing the ball. Takeaways are really the name of the game more than ever before. If you can tighten your D in the red zone and take the ball away twice a game that basically suffices for having a good defense. Those of us who are older still have a tendency to hold defenses to the standards of the 80s and 90s and it just isn't the same.

    They play baseball in Missouri

    Hey man, nobody's forcing you. I feel like I just found one of those guys who was constantly tapping me on my shoulder for standing too much during Packers games. You did. The only part of this dumb thread that has any merit by pure coincidence is the bye-bye wave as it definitely would have been a taunting flag if seen by the official.

    Just stop catering to Cubs fans and we should be fine... Not sure what impact it would have if I don't sell 2 terrace reserve seats. Which I will be doing on Opening Day. And there's jack you can do about it, lol.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Like I said before though, that's a fair narrative. The Cowboys have two wins against the 0-9 Redskins and Dolphins and a third against the Giants. They lost a 12-10 game to the Brees-less Saints and went down 31-3 to the Packers. There's no reason to think that team is good. I'd be more impressed if the Packers played a complete game against Detroit. To this point, they're a better team and have competed tightly with good ones. Fair to say GB should beat Detroit at home, but not a game where they can just show up and coast.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    What other things do you wish you had control over? Athletes' celebrations, other people's money, the weather?
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    I probably shouldn't tell you about the Packers season ticket holders that sell their tickets to pay the mortgage. Your head might just explode after all you've been through today watching those antics.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think that's probably not true since that's not how bone injuries work. I think he had quite a rapport with 3-4 receivers and now has one while the whole team adapts a new offense. And the guys he has aren't vets. It's a bunch of young guys or Allison, who hasn't been able to stay healthy the last couple years. NFL teams are really works in progress from Oct-Jan. This offense could be a juggernaut by the end, we just don't know, but it's sure not gangbusters right now. 4-1 matters though. Just win the games in the fall and be a good team in the winter.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    NFL box scores are next to useless determining how a game went/unit performed. Big leads mean lots of cheap yards. That game probably ends 48-10 if King picks off the pass at 24-0. Oddly the offense is still a bigger concern to me. Five weeks in, and you just still feel it's missing something. Adams today, but someone in that WR group needs to get it going. With someone as good as Jones back there it shouldn't be this hard. Still waiting for Rodgers to hit someone in stride down the field. Don't know if it's him, timing, lack of chemistry or what.

    The next 5 games of the schedule aren't as tough as the first 5 games. Carolina, Detroit and Oakland are middle of the pack teams. SD is talented, and the Chiefs are obviously very good. I think that's highly debatable, and unknown honestly. Philadelphia could very well be the best team the Packers have played. The Raiders just beat the Bears, though the Vikings pounded them, but at this point it's hard to say the Vikings/Bears aren't middle of the pack. Detroit gave KC a fight and beat Philly. I'm not seeing a real definitive distinction between CAR, DET, OAK and the Bears and Vikings other than last season.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    I dont think there's anything trappy about the Lions. They have looked good. No reason to assume a win there.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Just a brutal stretch coming up. I'm not a big believer in Dallas at all but the Packers next five games are teams over .500 with the exception of the Chargers. The schedule will not be the reason the Packers into the playoffs this year.
