  1. Love streaming services. Smart TVs combined with streaming services for the win. Can put a TV anywhere and get logged in…boom TV. Stick TV out on the patio in the summer, boom. Put a bunch of TVs on the wall for the home bar, boom. Put TV anywhere in the room and not have to worry about where the cable hook up is, boom. In almost two years I have never had to call YouTube TV and they never send someone to come in my house to fix things. No scam first year pricing and no massive price hikes. The only downside is no Brewers, but thankfully I have someone close enough to me to share their login information. I guess I’m just not attached to my TV shows and specific stations to need to bow down to cable to have everything. The Brewers are the closest thing, but I wouldn’t even consider paying cable prices to watch it on TV. Id just watch the national games and go to a handful in person…I’d be perfectly fine. I think I could do with an even cheaper option, but the wife demands Big Ten Network which I couldn’t care less about.

    Shoot even a standard oven be getting cramped at that size.
  3. I mean, he probably values playing time. He would have been like the #7 guy on Kansas' roster going into the year with a few Top 50 recruits also coming onto the team. Not to mention he would have to learn an entirely different system. Or he could be play every minute possible at Wisconsin.

    I always want to like Red Baron....but it just looks better than it tastes in the end. Also, Romas aren't good...but they ain't the worst. That is Totinos....and really I don't think it can even be debated. To be honest I am not even sure how they even sell them anymore. What cult eats those things?
  5. I mean mid 30s Votto seemed like he was on an obvious decline and put up a mid .900s OPS again...so probably more likely than some want to give Yelich credit for. Votto hasn't been the only guy to rebound in later years. Of course I don't really have any confidence of that happening and would consider trading him. I don't think I would give up major prospects to do it though. I mean, what is the point of saving the money? So we can go spend it on another disappointing older player? Extend our own guys and have them disappoint? I just can't fathom giving up cheap/controllable talent just to find another poor way to spend money. Good chance you are then paying Yelich some money (not all), spending that money in FA on garbage, all while giving up prospects too. Might as well pray on that young talent to save money to spend.
  6. The biggest loss is the player (and high ranking executive) salaries in the state. That alone is probably over $10mil a year and if I recall this is specifically a way the state agreed to pay for part of the Bucks stadium. Then you have other obvious tax revenue that would go poof without the team in the city (ticket sales, food sales, and merchandise). Now, yes, people will spend their money other ways, but a lot likely leaves the state or at least the Milwaukee area. Of course I am not sure how property taxes usually work for these stadium and the surrounding parking lots....if they pay any kind of property tax on $500mil+ buildings that certainly is another consideration. I am guessing the state and local government could comfortably throw $20mil+ yearly (depending on the area) and come out at least even in the grand scheme. I mean you basically get the prestige of having a pro team and putting your city on the map. The teams make it sounds lucrative and residents act like it is highway robbery. To me, it seems like a wash financially. People get mad the teams get all the money, but when you provide $10mil in tax revenue from people that would 100% not be in the state without you...you have value. The Packers would be an interesting one if they ever got into such a problem. It is quite literally the only reason anyone knows where Green Bay is and it certainly attracts a ton of tourism.
  7. I mean the teams existence in an area does boost the economy, really not debatable. Now if you want to argue the public funding of most stadiums outweighs that...fair argument.
  8. Because they can sell the jersey for thousands.
  9. That's why I went with an Amazon Fire Stick. Amazon is big enough where Google can't bully them around. The Amazon Fire Stick can go forward or backwards 15 seconds using the remote. Right now you can get one half price for $20 on Best Buy. The problem is if Amazon and Google get in a tiff, Youtube and Youtube TV disappear from Firestick. Same with Chromecast and Amazon Prime. You will get teh "no longer supported" from them. Not completely true. Many times if you have it downloaded it stays on. When Roku dropped Youtube TV nothing happened on my end. I know there have been other instances where you are basically grandfathered in.

    TIPO "00" I use the red bag Caputo, personally. Make sure to use a calculator to figure out the proper yeast needed and give yourself time the next day for the dough to warm up/finish rising.
  11. Lets just acknowledge one thing quickly. We gave up these prospects in large part to acquire Renfroe...we didn't simply give these prospects up to dump the JBJ contract. Renfroe was not going to be free. 3/4 of the last four season he has a WAR around 2.5...COVID year and his 139 PAs being the outlier. There is certainly some value in a player like Renfroe, that we control an additional year. I would rather have this over the comical contract Avi got. The fact we got Renfroe and saved all his contract plus some should play a big role in what else we can add before the start of the season.

    Most be pretty local, never seen that one. Though the packaging and the pictures online honestly looking very "meh" for the price.

    If Lottza Mottza or PotHole is your favorite pizza just admit all you want is grease and a disturbing amount of cheese/toppings with a sliver of crust to make it edible. I personally find it to be too much for the amount of crust. The taste isn't bad....but its just excessive for toppings. A toned down version would be better for me. I tend to get Portesi if I want to be fancy/expensive with my frozen pizza these days. I just can't decide if I hate the sauce or if it is decent. It is a very dark/pasty sauce that is hot with little sweetness. Not exactly my preferred style of sauce.
  14. It kinda shocks me sometimes how much demand there is for them all to get paid this much...but I guess they feel a coach is pretty much essential to recruitment/success. For sure - look at what is happening with Oklahoma. College football really is the haves and have nots, but what can ya do? Yah, I guess the top dollar salaries aren't as shocking....but like PC? Dude makes over $5mil, that is kind of amazing. I am sure part of the problem is the fact that is really the only high paying gig on the team so pouring dumb money into them is pretty minor.

  16. Exactly....and even then he may be speaking with a lot of hindsight and not actually what he would have thought at the time.
  17. Lol, wouldn't have given him this in a million years. Best of luck to the Marlins.
  18. Would never have been them. Pretty sure they are suppose to take the highest non playoff team via CFP rankings. Pretty sure they wouldn’t have had to take the Badgers purely on winning the championship game. Ohio State and Michigan would have both likely been higher in the CFP even with a win today and next Saturday.
  19. I always imagine a flash mob of dancers distracting everyone while a few people casually steal all the stuff and no one even notices.
  20. Pretty sure the dealership sold my wife's old 2017 utterly base model Honda CR-V for more than it's MSRP in 2017....and it had 60k miles and needed new tires.
  21. Teachers sure like to let everyone know their 3 month vacation isn't paid, but when they complain about their salary they never seem to mention how they are getting paid that much for only 9 months of work. They just want to compare their 9 month salary to other people's 12 month salary.
  22. Not going to lie, I was pretty worried he wouldn't win. I was afraid he would end up with too many 3rd or worse ranked votes to bring him down. COVID and lack of innings were two things I thought he might get docked for and ultimately risk losing the award.
  23. Except the back up option is putting them off in a suburb close by. It isn’t like they are moving to St Louis or something. I mean, most fans probably live in the burbs and would prefer that. Lol
  24. My mom always did it for us up to like 4th grade or something. I recall some kids did it, but it probably wasn't a ton...especially after pre school and K.
