joemadParticipantThat is cool….
worse case probability scenario I came up with is the Rams finish 12-4… ( based on defensive rankings) although, a 4 game skid is still possible (11-5)
BTW, ESPN is still one of the better sport sites in regards to pop up propaganda and ease of use… it is still my go to site.
joemadParticipantWhat I appreciate about Jared is that he’s never really been shaken,” Trubisky said. “A lot of people wrote him off after that first year, but watching him and how he handled himself, he’s very composed
Goff is badass…
joemadParticipanti’m sorry to hear about this TSRF…. criminals short on cash will always steal….. collar incident on your sister sucks….
I always believed that goodness will ultimately prevail….. i’m not so sure anymore….
joemadParticipant“””The Rams are doing this for the Fire and shooting victims. I don’t think Chicago has a chance..unless Deiter Brock comes back”””
joemadParticipantI thought I was seeing the Patriots redux from the Super Bowl. I don’t know how they got away with it, but they did.
bring the 2001 Super Bowl redux……. Gurley ran for 130+ plus yesterday… Faulk could’ve done the same thing, but Martz was just too stubborn and it cost them big time……..
joemadParticipant10 AM body clock start for them…
But the Rams still TCB today….
joemadParticipantCoach Patty’s scouting report on the Rams
This isn’t bad
joemadParticipantZooey, so how did it go?
A magical feast for Thanksgiving?
joemadParticipantRight on
Detroit is no gimme. Patricia has beat some good teams this year..,but they also have gotten creamed by some shit teams.
Rams can’t look past this game.
November 28, 2018 at 9:43 am in reply to: A Burger Scholar Breaks Down Classic Regional Burger Styles | The Burger Show #94597joemadParticipantBurger cooked in tallow. I think I’ll pass and here’s why.
My brother rented a place to a chef who had skipped town and left the rental property with at least 50 gallons of tallow. We had know idea what this was…..it smelled like death. We called HAZMAT and they determined what it was… we loaded up the truck and dropped it off at a place called San Jose Tallow and slaughter house. I lived my whole life in this area and I had now idea that this place existed in San Jose… I cant describe how bad the stench was at that place…
BTW. How I cook and grill my burgers…a few years ago I watched a movie called Ameerka.. about an immigrant single mom from Palestine who ends up in Indiana working at White Castle. There’s a scence where she shows how White Castle cooks the burger directly over onions…
joemadParticipantAaron Rodgers = Mac Davis in North Dallas Forty
Greg Jennings = Nick Nolte in North Dallas Forty….Mac knew Nolte’s days were numbered for the North Dallas Bulls….
BTW Kaepernick had 3 TDs that day…… 129 rating in GB…. CK7 was 3-0 in GB… 1-0 in the playoffs

joemadParticipantDon’t forget whipped cream for your pumpkin pie
Happy Thanksgiving!
joemadParticipantWhere do you find these gamebook pdf versions of the boxscore?
joemadParticipantMcVay is not perfect…he almost gave that game away….
Clock management no time outs… I LOVE THIS TEAM!
10-1
joemadParticipantThat was narly….
joemadParticipantBTW add soaked wood chips to the briquettes. About 25% hickory and 75% cherry. Wood chips are cheap at Home Depot.
Cherry is the popular wood of choice for turkey, thus pick some up soon before the stores run out..
Good luck… I’m sure others will post their recipes or you’ll find other recipes on line.
joemadParticipantIf you have a Weber kettle charcoal grill here’s a fool proof recipe.
It’s simple, tastes and looks fantastic… I’ve been doing this every year for Xmas and Thanksgiving since 1996
1) brine the bird on Wed. Get the brine mix from cost plus. It’s not expensive and very effective and provides a nice aroma to your kitchen the day before Thanksgiving.
2) follow the brine directions on package.
2a) But at a high level boil a large pot of water
2b) stir in brine mix and simmer let brine water cool.
2c) place bird in large plastic bag (eg large trash bag) place bag in cooler pour brine mix in bag in cooler with ice in cooler
3) Thursday AM grill the bird. I grill mine at 350 degrees Which results in cooking time of about 12 Min per pound.
3a) grill prep 60 charcoal briquettes. Get them hot to prep for indirect grilling. (30 briquettes on each side of the grill.
3b) place aluminum drip pan in between the 2 piles of briquettes. Add a small amount of water to pan.
3c) put your grate on the grill. Make sure you positioned the grill grate to allow you to add briquettes to each side of the bird during cook time
3d) remove bird from brine. rinse bird. Pat dry with paper towel. rub with butter and olive oil.
3f) place bird on grill over drip pan
3g) add 9 briquettes to each side of the grill ever 50 min to maintain 350 degree heat in grill
4) cook bird until 160 to 165 degrees, remove from grill and let stand for 20% of your cooking time.
5) carve and serve.
I use this recipe below for gravy, but cheat a little bit.
I add canned gravy instead of the flour bullshit.
Very tasty.
Giblet Gravy
* Giblet Gravy 1 tablespoon butter 2 teaspoons olive oil Giblets, liver, and neck from 1 turkey 1 cup diced onions 1/3 cup minced celery 1/3 cup peeled and minced carrots 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup dry white wine 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 sprig fresh thyme Salt and freshly ground black pepper

* Giblet Gravy: 1 tablespoon butter 2 teaspoons olive oil Giblets, liver, and neck from 1 turkey 1 cup diced onions 1/3 cup minced celery 1/3 cup peeled and minced carrots 2 garlic, peeled and minced 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour 1/4 cup dry white wine 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 sprig fresh thyme Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Giblet Gravy:
In a medium, heavy pot, melt the butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the giblets, liver, and turkey neck, and cook, stirring until brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic, and saute an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, stirring to incorporate any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, thyme sprig, and any reserved juices from the bottom of the roasting pan, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Strain. Adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm with Emeril’s Big Bird.
Yield: about 3 cups

joemadParticipantSeattle was 2 for 9 on 3rd Down conversions
Seattle gained 5 first downs due to Ram penalties
RAMS had ZERO first downs due to Seattle penalties
joemadParticipantI attended the game. I’m currently outside the Coliseum enjoying a vitory milkshake at Cold Stone…
Rams gave up a ton of rushing yards but they came up with some big 3rd down sacks today
I was worried that the Rams mis managed the game clock after recovering the first OSK midway in the fourth qtr
This was a great game to see from the stands….high fives and fist bumps for everyone!
The Rams are 9-1

joemadParticipantSeveral wildfires burning in California … we’re located about 175 miles from the Wildfires in No Cal… our air quality is very poor which has forced them to reschedule and move some local HS football playoff games today
In addition, It’s been several months since we had any rain in Northern California… some towns have been completely torched to the ground….
So Cal had some rains a few weeks back but not nearly enough to curb the dry forest areas….

Thousand Oaks Shooting
I don’t know the answers. But I know what we’re doing is not enough.
NOVEMBER 08, 2018 – 10:58 AMI’m not sure how many times I’ve started a show by reminding everyone that this is a sports show, but that sports isn’t that important on a day like this. And this is another day like that. Because we all woke to news of 12 people murdered in the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California.
Again.
I’m from Southern California. This show is based here. I know Thousand Oaks well. I’ve even driven past the Borderline – it’s just off the Ventura Freeway. I have close friends in the area. It’s no far from where I grew up.
And like me, a lot of you listening know Thousand Oaks well. Many of you listening right now live there. Maybe your kids have played sports there. Or you went to dinner there. Or went to a movie there.
Last night, a bunch of college kids went to a bar there for college night and country line dancing. And many of them never came home.
So if you think I’m going to see that on the news, shrug and then talk about Le’Veon Bell’s contract situation or some sick dunks in the Association, you could not be more wrong. I’ll get to those topics at some point, but not right now. Not when that is happening.
A lot of sports talk radio is about making things that are unimportant seem important, but I’m certainly not going to make things that are important seem unimportant.
When a dozen people are murdered up the road from me, I’m going to talk about it.
Some of you might not want to hear it. And if you’re tempted to change the station right now, I get that.
I would rather that you didn’t, but if you do, think about why you’re doing it. Think about why this makes you uncomfortable. And then maybe take some action.
Some of you might want to view sports as a place to escape the news. And it is. But you know what else a place to escape the news is? A country line dancing bar in Thousand Oaks, California.Or a movie theater in Colorado
A college campus in Virginia
A high school in Florida
A concert in Las Vegas
A church in Texas
A high school in Colorado
A club in FloridaAn elementary school in Connecticut
Those are just a few of the high profile mass murders. There are so many more. Maybe you remember some of them, maybe you remember all of them, and maybe you remember none of them.Remember Columbine? Remember when we all said that would never happen again. It did.
Remember Sandy Hook? Remember how we said that was the last straw that nothing like that would ever happen again. It has.
We’re not even two weeks removed from a mass murder of senior citizens in a synagogue in Pittsburgh and we’re already going through this again.
Mass murders have become so commonplace, it’s practically part of the weather report. I’ll tell you about it, we’ll go to commercial break, people will say “thoughts and prayers” and then move on.
So let me try something. Let me read you a quick piece from a CNN report:Jason Coffman was one of the parents anxiously awaiting news Thursday morning about those inside the bar.
His son, Cody, 22, was there with friends — and while his friends got out, they didn’t know where Cody was, he told CNN and HLN.The father told CNN he can track his son’s cell phone — and the tracking indicates it still was in the bar Thursday morning.
“It’s at the club. It’s not moving. That’s the problem,” said Coffman, who was awaiting information at a center for relatives.
“I am very emotional right now,” he said. “This is my firstborn son and it’s tough.”
The father said Cody’s friends woke him up at 1 a.m. to tell him about the shooting.“I’m afraid that Cody ran to the gunman instead of away from the gunman. That’s the kind of boy Cody is,” he said.
That’s a father saying that about his 22 year old son. A father talking about how he can track his son’s cell phone and that phone is not moving. Imagine that. Think about that. I know I am.Your thoughts and your prayers for the victims, their families, and their friends, plus the survivors who had to witness what happened last night, are important. But they are not enough. There have been so many thoughts and prayers after mass murderers over the years that if they were enough, there wouldn’t be more mass murders.
And that moment of silence has always been followed by more moments of silence. And absolutely nothing else.
At a certain point, we need to decide as a country if this is okay. If this is normal. Because right now, by not doing anything, we’re saying it’s okay and it’s normal. We’re saying it’s okay that people can be murdered indiscriminately in clubs, churches, synagogues, and schools, at concerts and in movie theaters.
I don’t know the answers. But I know what we’re doing is not enough.I genuinely do send my thoughts and prayers to the victims of the Thousand Oaks shooting. To their families. To their friends. And to the survivors who have to live with this pain. And I would suggest that the best way to honor their lives is to do something, anything, to make sure this does not happen again.
joemadParticipant2015 Scouting report on Marcus…
Lapses
Peters did major damage to his draft stock when he was kicked out of the Washington Huskies program midway through the 2014 season. He also hasn’t interviewed well with NFL teams since then. Multiple teams have said they question whether Peters has actually learned and grown from the incident

Prevents separation

Can play press man
Can play off man
Quick feet
Loose hips to turn and run
Agile; maintains coverage in and out of breaks
Instinctive
Physicality; will battle receivers
Ball skills

Quality tackler

RecoverabilityWeaknesses:

Character issues
Is he coachable?
Doesn’t react well to some coaches
Some question whether he learned from past issuesSummary: If it weren’t for off-the-field issues, Peters could be the top cornerback in the 2015 NFL Draft. He has a first-round skill set with size, speed, length and ball skills. However, Peters did major damage to his draft stock when he was kicked out of the Washington Huskies program midway through the 2014 season. He also hasn’t interviewed well with NFL teams since then. Multiple teams have said they question whether Peters has actually learned and grown from the incident.
In 2013, Peters recorded 55 tackles with five interceptions, one forced fumble and nine passes broken up. He had some clutch games against Stanford and Oregon State. Peters was a Second-Team All-Pac-12 performer.
Despite his abbreviated 2014 season, Peters recorded 23 tackles, five passes broken up and three interceptions. He had an excellent game against Stanford with an interception and good coverage on Cardinal receiver Ty Montgomery. Versus Jaelen Strong and Arizona State, Peters put together a solid game. He was beaten by Strong on two receptions, including a touchdown, but had wins on Strong as well. Peters covered Strong better than any other defensive back last season. Then Peters was kicked off the team for repeated arguments with the new coaching staff, and it had reached the point that the team couldn’t tolerate his presence because it was setting a bad example for other players.
Washington did allow Peters to continue to train at the school and participate in ita pro day. At the Combine and in team interviews, Peters didn’t impress or convince teams that his problems were a thing of the past.
For the NFL, Peters is a man-cover corner who is capable of going one-on-one against good receivers and keeping them from big games. Peters will give up some plays here and there, but overall, he has been very good at limiting the effectiveness of No. 1 receivers. Peters has the speed, size and agility to run with them and prevent separation. Peters is quick to maintain coverage in and out of breaks with the agility to open up his hips and run downfield when the wideouts go vertical. He also shows a nice job of defending the back-shoulder sideline throws that are en vogue in the NFL.
Peters is a dangerous cornerback to throw at with his ball skills. He is adept at snatching the pass and taking it the other way. In the NFL, it wouldn’t be surprising if he has some significant interception totals in some seasons.
For Peters to stick in the NFL and be a success, he has to change his attitude to work with a variety of coaches. Peters could mesh well with one staff and then have issues with another. With the frequency of coaching staff changes, it is important for Peters to become coachable. It wouldn’t be surprising if he becomes a player who bounces around as teams get tired of his act while other teams feel they can work with him.
In speaking with NFL teams, they are split on if Peters will go in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. They all agree that he has first-round talent and would be a first-round pick if it weren’t for his off-the-field issues. In surveying five teams, three thought Peters would not go in the first round, but two thought he would. In the 2015 NFL Draft, Peters could go as high as the middle of the first round and also could fall into the third round. The second round could be his safest estimate.

joemadParticipantYeah…like everyone else, I bet there were contrite and conciliatory words later.
ZN, this happened on the Rams final drive of the 1st half where the Rams scored 3….
Rams were driving but Saffold’s penalty pushed the Rams back to their own 40+ yard line…… Goff responded with a pass to the TE, (I think Everrett) to set up Zuerline’s FG at the end of the half with only a few seconds left in the half…. Clutch play by the offense….
After that Goff INT in the 2nd half, the Rams regrouped and responded pretty good…. it was just too much to ask the Defense to pitch a shutout in the 2nd half against Brees…..
joemadParticipantSaints secondary tackled a little better than the Rams did…
I think i’ve had it with Marcus Peters
Sean Peyton irritates me.
BTW game went the same way WVRam predicted…
Rams fall behind early and fall short on furious comeback…
joemadParticipantSausage, mushrooms, roast beef and asparagus…. very nice…
I smoked ribs yesterday for today’s day game… I will grill the last of the summer zuchinni today…. …. I also still have half of a left over Burger King Whopper in the fridge from Friday night….not sure what I’m gonna do with that…..
joemadParticipantSaints were favored by 1.5, but heavy betting the Rams this week has swung the spread….
Rams are now favored by 1.5
