WAR ROOM LOUNGE V10: It's all in the hips

[Stargazer Rex]

We know, you drafted a kicker in the 1st round last year during fantasy.

And still somehow almost made the playoffs if it wasn't for my come from behind win that still has @HomerThompson salty as fuck

Gonna first pick Jimmy G this year

Not fantasy related (totally) but I can't wait to see what the Packers look like with the GOAT back at the helm instead of some gum-chewing dumbshit fuckface

@Trotsky knows.....

Meh, it's hard to imagine the team realistically outplaying the Eagles or Rams since (imo) the biggest flaws in the team went unaddressed: the lack of speed at WR and the lack of pass rush.

I can understand your feeling at wideout but part me wonders if the pass rush issue was Capers being, well, trash at his job.

Just to nitpick, Reid won the first half of that fight. I remember Trinidad saying that Reid was the hardest puncher he ever faced.

You know what you're absolutely right. Now that I think of it Reid fought very well but Trinidad's power turned the tide. I think Reid fought as well as he possibly could but came up short against a legend at his peak. Reid never seemed the same after that fight, of course the detached retina he suffered probably had a lot to do with it. It was probably too soon for that matchup.

Anyway good catch, point to you sir, not nitpicking at all IMO.

Well, nitpicking because your point was that it came after a beating, and Reid did indeed take a terrible beating in the second half of the fight. And, yeah, my recollection was that there was a sense that Reid's time was short and that he had to rush to take big fights. So kind of too soon, but there was a reason. He was never the same, though, as you said. Trinidad of that era was probably my all-time favorite fighter. Just a beautiful puncher. Not saying the best, but like the Will Clark of boxing.

What do y'all think of this from the banana thread from Madmick?:

The thing is, when even the poorest person who walks through the door of the supermarket can afford the filet mignon, that's all you're going to sell.

I get the point as it relates to bananas, but IMO part of the appeal of filets is the price, and if they became cheaper, they'd lose their status. They have a great texture, and they're easy to do well so I'm not knocking them at all. Probably one of the cuts I have the most, actually. But if you take the time to marinate, flank or skirt have a better flavor. Bourdain says that rib meat is the best, and pros never order filet. I can see that, though I could go either way.

Pork tenderloin, on the other hand, is great (and not expensive).

I think it's ridiculous hyperbole to say that's all they'd sell.

That said, as a fat hater, I've always loved filets. It's an easy cut to love. Over the years though I've come to prefer a bone-in rib-eye. And if I want to go the whole nine-yards with chimichurri and habanero pico then flank is the choice.

My favorite underpriced cut is chuck eye (higher on the rib). I don't always budget for rib eye, so I'm happy people still haven't caught on, because a cow doesn't give up a lot of these. By my tastes it should be at least $1.50 more per pound. You can find stuff like this all the time on the cheap, and it's about average for chuck eye:

It's nothing amazing, just a nice flavorful cut of meat that is slightly chewier and slightly less fatty.

Since we're talking steak, I recommend (for anyone not already familiar) checking out sous vide cooking. Easy to hit the right temp and then it's just a matter of putting a sear on it.

That SEEMS bad but it's easy to rack up excess of 35 posts a day in a single hour of a lunch break if you post primarily in like the WR, VGF, or Heavies.

Hell, the Sports Bar if you were to be in there for any length of time you could probably bump up on 70 posts per day.

Right, but this 30 posts a day thing is targeted at white belts (at least that's the way I understood it). How many brand new posters (regardless of how long they've lurked before joining) are going to actually post in 5 or 6 different subforums, join pre-existing conversations and generally just chat shit out of the gate?

If you see a new poster engaged enough to the point of instantly parroting retard talking points from the War Room (@Jack V Savage is a hack, @Kafir-kun is a muslim apologist, yadda yadda yadda), referencing vintage memes (Lubaolong, groundhog experts, kvolcom) or important events (2016 election, WR purge, OT deletion, etc) while being an all around shithead, chances are he's coming to stink up the place.

War Stipe! And I like DC (in spite of him beating both Hendo and Barnett). The heart wants what the heart wants.

My guess is sherdog's job is to have high site traffic. That can get you more advertisement money if you own the website. However, war room liberals have talked about another war room purge of conservative posters. They are also on board with having a long delay on new accounts making threads. This gives the war room liberals a safer space, but it probably conflicts with sherdog trying to keep high site traffic. They had a purge 8 months ago and the war room site traffic dropped off a cliff. A moderator alluded to this. We will see what happens.

You should probably sign into your @IGIT account before you sign off as IGIT.

Double Account fail!

You know you've to JoDredd when he gets fully into some type of character pasting the same shit over and over.

Good shit @tkotom !! TOTAL KNOCKOUT!

If you look at the posts on page 3 in this thread, @JosephDredd signs off three different posts as @IGIT

It appears he was so upset he forgot what account he was even signed into.

It looks like JosephDredd and IGIT are one and the same.
