Akorn makes some automatic Kamados with temp control that I can't bring myself to pull the trigger on. I'd probably use it 10x as often but all the fun for me is taming the fire. Maybe if I ever have the space for a full outdoor pit setup.

PSL in this economy is crazy but I'm happy for you

Really looking forward to him and Jaycee developing together on some iron sharpens iron. They both excel where the other one needs work. Could be a great pairing for them/us.

We'll see how it translates to the field but Canales already has Rhule and Reich beat on the team culture front. Low bar, to be fair.

I'm warming up to the idea of trading LaMelo but the the character concerns around him are nonsense. This goofy town gave Cam hell for wearing his frustration on the sidelines and now we're mad that LaMelo isn't. Should be more thankful that despite his closest teammate being an aspiring thug and the entire world trying to get him out of Charlotte he's not like Ja Morant.

100%. I get that being the only latino HC in the league comes with social pressure to set a good example, but I've always felt that Ron's respectability BS did the team a disservice from his stoicism on field to the tie incident to not having much to say about the protests in Charlotte. I think it's a big reason why Jerry Richardson liked Ron.

Fixing games outright would be extremely risky as it requires too many parties to be in the know and any of them could blow the whole thing up. I definitely believe the NBA draft is rigged to a degree, and the refs can certainly push an agenda to influence whatever outcome they want, but not on some Black Sox type shi with teams knowingly throwing games. Like I'm sorry, but we just choked SB50. Officials letting defenses tee off on Cam was just business as usual. We lost primarily because the team because decided to play conservative for the first time all year. If we had our stuff together it would have never come down to the refs discretion.

Boring. Maybe I was too hard on “One Carolina”.

Boo AI slop boooooooooooooo

No you've just become an oldhead my brother. Most popular music is sex/money/drugs and always has been. The country couple is cute together but it does worry me a bit that Legette's a social media cowboy crush before he's even football famous. Like if Taylor Swift was at the beginning of Kelce's career. Normally athletes have to stay relevant in their sport to date in this sphere but Xavier has a modeling career waiting for him if his day job ends up being a bust.

Pleasantly surprised. Didn't think Bryce was the type.

I like the Teppers involvement sorry. Rather have an engaged owner and then someone falling asleep in his box seat. And I think this idea that's he's been overruling the coaches have been overblown, he's just been really bad at hiring them. Canales is his attempt at course correction by making it Dan's choice. The "football guys" are still picked by the owner at the end of the day, there's no way around that so I'd rather the guy be into it.

Probably hoping the meme will blow over in time. That would just cement it.

The blunt this casting director was on must have been immaculate

Still high on XL because we saw glimpses of greatness despite the deck being heavily stacked against him. I'm not ready to raise the alarm over drops considering that the guy was a rookie with a first year coach and the top option in an offense that sucked ass for most of the season.
