HBO - The Righteous Gemstones

I just watched that last night, and it was hilarious.  It really pokes fun at the mega church culture and power families (like the Grahams, Bakers, etc).  Danny McBride and John Goodman are fantastic!  Just one episode, but I'm really excited for the next one!

Did you just refer to John Goodman as Tom Arnold? That's cold. 

I agree with you though. It was great. Growing up around the PTL people, there are a lot of little touches that really made me laugh, and some that probably triggered PTSD for other people brought up under that mess.

Ack, I did!  I will correct it!  Not sure why I had that horrific brain fart...

Goggins was fugging brilliant in both. "Gemstones" is really funny, but not close to "Vice Principals," yet.  

Dude, my wife and I (both teachers) LOVED Vice Principals.  That was one of our favorite shows of all time.  I might have to rewatch it about November...

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.

    • Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
