    OT: Red lights lately

    Don't be nice. Be predictable.

    Andruw Jones to the Hall of Fame.

    He made some amazing plays in center, but I also remember when Bobby Cox pulled him out of a game in the middle of an inning after a lazy effort in the field.

    Tipping culture is out of hand

    It's a cost of doing business, which was always built in to the price of goods/services (or should have been, at least, for a competent business). So we were always paying it. But now, businesses can also add it on at time of purchase. So we're paying it twice.

    OT: why are Starkville property taxes higher than a giraffe’s ***?

    They’re going to get it somehow. I moved to TX a few years ago from MS. I pay a lot more in property tax, but don’t pay state income tax. I pay a bit more on sales tax, but don’t pay tax on groceries or certain OTC medicine and other health items. I pay a lot less to renew my car tag (at least...

    What an absolute travesty.

    Also… “who leave their positions”. It was after the 3rd out. Everyone in the field is leaving their positions.

    Favorite STATE Running back in the modern era

    Dicenzo was always a favorite. Maybe some nostalgia there because I was in school at the time. His catch and run for a TD at BYU is an all-time favorite.

    Asking the Pack

    We have a Whirlpool refrigerator with ice maker in the door and in the bottom freezer drawer. Lately, the ice maker in the bottom will shut itself off automatically, even when there is little to no ice in the bin. Occasionally, I'll reach in to see where the control arm is positioned, and it's...

    Does anyone else think the MLB playoff format is ridiculous?

    Anytime you seed your playoff teams in a way other than by record from top to bottom, you absolutely should reseed after the wild card round. For example, this year Minnesota was the AL 3 seed because they won their division. But they had the worst record among AL playoff teams. In fact, they...

    OT: Old man BS

    Similar frustration for me. I've routinely had moderately high total cholesterol and triglycerides (TG being the bigger concern). My last two Dr appointments were last October and then again in February. I lost about 30 lbs in those 6 months. My cholesterol and TG both went up. Terribly...

    Earth's Temperature

    At least they wised up. At one time, it was global cooling. Then it was global warming. Now it’s climate change because the climate is, of course, always changing. So every time the climate changes, which is always, those politicians can push to increase those burdens on the average working man...

    Oby’s and NIL

    So…. Oby’s customers.

    6 Conference wins, 8 run-rule losses

    For basketball, this approach makes sense, though. A layup gives you the same points as when your foot is on the 3-point line. Taken to its extreme, there’s little reason to bother with anything in between.

    What is the best place to go eat BBQ?

    I moved to TX a few years ago. Never been to Goldee's (in Fort Worth, btw), but it regularly ranks one of the best in TX. Heim (a few locations in DFW) is really good. My favorite is 407 BBQ in Argyle. Also, brisket >>> pork.

    Jaden Rashada's NIL deal with Florida per the twitters.

    This is why they will never see a dime from me. I can understand a local business owner hiring a player to market his business. But what you described above makes no sense to me.

    Mercy rule in SEC baseball

    2004. I remember the game, but had forgotten we were ranked #3 that week. Up 12-6 in B9. Get first two batters out. Then: Single Single Double Single Double Walk Single Single Single You can relive it here!
