Washington Football Team finalizing deal with Marty Hurney
Captroop replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
Buffalo video? That's an alarmingly vague title, and I'm not sure I want to know more. [Who's on top?] -
Washington Football Team finalizing deal with Marty Hurney

Real life isn't supposed to be this predictable. -
One of my all time favorite sports movies, even though there's almost no sports in the entire film. But man, do those scenes with the daughter draaaaaaaag. I've re-watched it about 3 times and forward through those parts every time, and it's about a half hour shorter, which is perfect.

I hated it at first. But once you develop a taste, it's really hard to go back. If you're looking for a gateway Scotch; I think most people go for the "Mac' 12." The Macallan. Very approachable for your Irish Whiskey or Bourbon drinker. But my personal recommendation is to order a glass of the Compass Peat Monster or Ardbeg 10 next time you're at the bar, and see if you like the smokiness.

I love lists, so I'm in! Will have to bend the rules a little bit, in that I'm going to do a Scotch list. I like Bourbon, but I only have one bottle currently (Blanton's). Daily drinker- Dewar's. It's in the crystal decanter in my home office, because if you're not going to see the label anyway, it might as well just be your daily in your classiest serving vessel. Impress your guests- Kilchomen Machir Bay. If you can't appreciate the peat, beat your feet. Cheap mixer (and for guests you know won’t appreciate it) - Glenfiddich 12. Which is a lie. It's just my low-end "quality" scotch. The real answer is Seagram's Whiskey, because I'd never sully a scotch by mixing it. Something great- your Friday night bourbon - Auchentoshan 12. Not super special. I'd usually say Balvenie Caribbean Cask, or Auchentoshan Three Wood, but I'm plum out. The saving for a special occasion bottle - I have a bottle of Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 that I bought as a gift, but kept for personal reasons. I don't know when I'll ever open it. I'll need a big promotion or close a monster deal.

How long ago did you start expressing symptoms? The test has a 40% false negative rate if you get it the first day you start seeing symptoms. I got it in early July (or at least I'm pretty sure I did); muscle aches, chills so bad I couldn't stop shaking, and then when my fever broke I slept for 20 hours straight. But I got tested the morning after I started feeling chills, and I came back negative. Point being, if you got it soon after you started seeing symptoms, be cautious even if it comes back negative.

Europe is seeing a HUGE spike right now. Most countries the daily cases far exceed what we were seeing in the first wave. You better believe we're going to see that here. Plus it's looking like the strain of COVID people are getting now is different from the one in March, so people can absolutely be re-infected. This winter is shaping up to be a mess. Wear your mask.

JFC. Every time these anti-maskers fall back on the same old alpha-male BS. I've not heard a single argument against masks that didn't involve heavy utilization of phrases like "fear," or "cowering." As though you're immune to a virus if you're manly enough. We get it. You're a big alpha tough guy. You know what a real macho, macho man could do? Wear a mask and not whine about it like a little girl.

It's funny. I thought this guy was going to drain the swamp. Turns out he just made if contagious and airborne.

The symptoms are different. The causes of death are different. There is testing to see which strain of virus you have. Doctor's and medical examiners aren't just randomly declaring causes of death based on the news. Again, you know nothing of epidemiology, and the fact that you can't comprehend medical science doesn't mean you've stumbled onto a massive conspiracy. Anyway, just a thought.
-
Jesus. Okay. I'm here to help you through this episode. Just follow my directions carefully. 1. Take off your tinfoil hat 2. Turn off OAN. 3. Google "Population Density USA". 4. Read. 5. Reflect on your vast expertise in epidemiology. 6. Realize you don't know wtf you're talking about. 7. Shut up about things you don't know about. 8. Never turn OAN back on. Ever.

I like how you basically point out that your own political bias is the reason you assume it's political.

I assure you, 6 million Americans would trade the cookouts for a paycheck right now.

This comment alone shows you are grossly unqualified to talk about anything going on regarding the pandemic.

Wasn't as good as the original.

This is my favorite from the album. I love the random, disconnected foot in the air. It's like a scene from a Leslie Nielsen movie. -
Huddle Contest: Tickets and Pregame Field Passes
Captroop replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina Panthers
Been a fan from afar since the franchise's inception. Seen every game since the start of the 2003 season. Been to several Baltimore vs. Carolina games proudly rocking Panthers colors. Coming to Charlotte for the first time to meet some Huddlers and do an honest Panthers tailgate, and I sure wouldn't mind making it a memorable trip by getting to actually see the game in person! -
But but but! Did you know he only ranks 11th in DYAR? For you baboons who don't understand statistics, DYAR is Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. It means controlling for the defenses he faced, how many yards did Cam get versus what a replacement level player would have gotten in the same situation. It's basically a mathematically justifiable "but who did they play really?" argument, which I wouldn't expect you IDIOTS to understand! Dating back to 1989, every QB who was named MVP finished in the top 5 of DYAR. It's an ABSOLUTELY IRREFUTABLE means of determining who the MVP is! I mean, based on that metric alone, one can CLEARLY see that even Matt Stafford is a better candidate for the MVP! And Cam? Ha! Cam has never even finished in the top 10 of this foolproof metric* [*which is an EXCLUSIVE, innovative metric brought to you by the statistical wunderkinds at Sports Outsiders, and is reserved exclusively for use by their audience, and are not meant, under any circumstance to be viewed my mouth-breathers who cannot fathom the algorithms working behind the scenes to bring you such dynamic analysis] So unless this statistic somehow doesn't take into account how Cam Newton plays the position differently from the statuesque QBs who routinely finish in the top 5 DYAR (evidenced by him being the first QB ever with 35 passing TD and 10 rushing TD in a single season) then I think we can all agree that on this basis alone, Cam Newton should NOT be the MVP. No, sorry! Clearly Carson Palmer is the MVP, with his glisteny, shimmery #1 rating in DYAR. I feel sorry for you dullards who actually WATCHED the games! I've got a stat sheet, a TI-83+, and a statistical justification from Sports Outsiders (aka the SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD). If you had come to me first, I could have saved you the time, and just told you who MATH (the language of GOD!@!) says the MVP should be. No go sit in the corner in your little dunce cap and let the REAL FANS (the ones who not only know what sabermetrics are, but have taken the time to point out the obvious flaws in their methodology) talk about what everyone else should REALLY know about football.

Along the Sidelines - Redskins at Panthers
Captroop replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina Panthers
Gah-damn! Those first two of Cam look like a Michael Bay movie poster. Beautiful as always! -
I like Mariota a lot, and I will enjoy getting to see him play. It's just lucky we are playing him his rookie year, and not year 2. I foresee him having a great game against us statistically, but he's inexperienced and cocky enough to throw in Norman's direction, and ultimately a costly turnover will seal their fate. Won't be a blowout, but winning the turnover battle will get us to 9-0.

Along the Sidelines - Packers at Panthers
Captroop replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina Panthers
Great shots. I actually really like the glamour shots of Rodgers in the mix. He's a great player, and it was a pleasure to watch him operate yesterday. Even in defeat, I'm glad not every picture of him was just scrambling for his life, or crumpled in a fetal position post-sack. He's a player who has earned respect, and I think the shot composition really shows that. Great work as always! -
