    Finally buying a new car

    "We may end up getting seat covers for the summer months due to the black interior." I have sheepskin seat covers on my front seats and live in Texas, where it gets very hot in the summer. They are great and never get too hot in the summer or cold in the winter, and even will protect your...

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    Was all set up for a last minute field goal by the Chiefs and some Mahomes magic, and his passes were just dropped....The Lions also has a fumble/turn over when they were in the red zone, so points were off the board for them as well.... The pick six by the lions was a perfect pass that the...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

    "Who was the cameo and where, or is it still too much of a spoiler even after seeing the film? :D" There is an article on all of the cameo's in the film here: https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/all-cameos-in-the-dungeons-and-dragons-movie-listed-and-explained/

    What annoys you?

    My wife is a teacher and ends up getting some Visa gift cards from some of the parents of her students. She gave a $100.00 card to my teanage daughter to go pick up something at the local Target when we were all last there. The counter guy tells us that it was an invalid card and would not...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    At a Raiders web site -- when talking about the Carr contract: "The Raiders can easily walk away from him. As noted by PFT this week, the Raiders can get out of his contract, which was extended in April, after this year by cutting him in February and only absorb a relatively small amount in...

    Which projector screen would you decide on if you had to pick out of these 2?

    Looking at the comments from the Amazon screen -- from someone who has one.. "I would not recommend this screen if you have a short throw projector (mine is a Optoma GT1090HDR). Definitely DO NOT BUY if you have an ultra short throw. The screen is simply not flat enough for ultra short throw...

    Which projector screen would you decide on if you had to pick out of these 2?

    Looking at the two choices you have given -- and have a few questions Both of these are portable/pop up screens -- how are you going to be using them? Do you have a light controlled dedicated room? Do you have a surround system to go with the projector/screen? How are you planning on using...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I think that Henden Hooker in Ten is also looking good as a QB, although he is on the older side. Game with Bama was just wild.... https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4240858/hendon-hooker

    Rear speaker sound

    To help with the debug - you need to look at every link in the chain. Initial Setup: You should be going from a source to the unit and then out to the TV- and each source should be going into it's own location. "In setup i get the tone for setting volume. I have set the rear high and brought...

    Disney+ Pinocchio (2022)

    Did a quick scan of this today with my oldest daughter as she wanted to check out a couple of sceens - and thought it looked very bad. Pleasure island now allows girls as well - so it has been made PC. This is no longer a island for bad boys, but bad kids. She even said "why are there...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    The ongoing saga of Jimmy G..... He had shoulder surgery sometime in the off-season - so when the QB shuffle started he would not have passed a physical - so could not have been traded until he was actually fit to do so. He just recently has "fully recovered" and is able to throw passes more...

    2021-2022 NFL Season

    I think when they signed this contract - they only have a 1 million base salary for this year - thinking that if he is suspended without pay - he doesn't loose too much money. Having the indefinite one is actually kind of funny - as in year two he will be loosing 46 mil... Tom Brady did...

    2021-2022 NFL Season

    As for the USFL ---- even though they have multiple teams representing various cities - all games are held at two stadiums in Birmingham, AL (Protective Stadium, and Legion Field) and all of the teams are kept in the same hotels and also share practice fields. As there is actually 1 team that...

    Finally buying a new car

    Think that the new Ford truck will be a game changer - as for the first time ever the prices are the same for the EV and the non EV models - so there is no large premium to pay - it is just another power train option. If this is actually going to work than I think this is the start of it. It...

    2021-2022 NFL Season

    Things I noticed and thought were good: You could hear all of the QB communications - play calls and what the coaches were saying - very transparent On that note - you could hear everything the officials were saying as well - and all of the review process There is a time limit on the reviews...

    Denon avr 1513 no sound from 2 sources.

    Had a similar issue that I finally figured out. I had to go into the setup menu and turn on the HDMI source/input for each source - somehow it was either turned off by default or set to the RCA connections.... So even though I had 6 input ports, only 1 of the 6 would work. I had added a Roku...

    Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

    It is a good family show - now that the kids are in their teans and "never liked Dora" in the first place, it is a good fish out of water story that makes fun of the Dora cartoon, but not in a mean spirited way.

    Disney+ Turning Red (Pixar) (2022)

    Having a puberty button in Inside Out dealing with emotions is one thing, and as you said it is not a major part of the movie. We have 3 teenagers in the house, so saying they can be an emotional time when people grow older would not be that big of a deal. When Inside Out came out she was...

    Disney+ Turning Red (Pixar) (2022)

    I am a big Pixar fan, and although I liked some aspects of the movie, I was glad I read some reviews and decided to preview this before watching it with my family. I have a little girl who has not gone through puberty yet, and would not like to explain that part of the movie to her. I watched...

    Newton is a head case, and held a 45 minute "press conference" where he spoke on camera with his father, and a lot of time in the 3rd person on how Cam Newton would have been OK with being the backup, but that his aura. Here is the quote: "The reason why they released me is because...

    2021-2022 NFL Season

    There were several articles today about how bad his blocking was - and it was very bad. I am surprised they put him out there if his blocking technique was this bad - could have really hurt himself.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    I have 3 teenagers who are very book smart and have no common since at all. They are not pushing to get vaccinated and are more worried about loosing video game time to go somewhere to get this done, so we are not going against their wishes, as I am the only one trying to get this done...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Having issues with the wife.... We have both been fully vaccinated, and have 3 kids in the 13 to 17 age range. The problem I am having is that my wife doesn't know about how the vaccine will effect growing kids, and says that we have been told that they are at a minimal risk for the longest...

    What annoys you?

    I was lucky - my company did a retroactive pay out of $1000.00 if you got vaccinated - so I didn't miss out on anything and got piece of mind earlier that I'm not going to get this, or at least not die from it. Also note, it also depends on your age when you became eligible for the vaccine, so...

    Question about NFL telecasts?

    Not seeing any announcement on any of the Raiders sites - when I looked up his retirement, it gave me reports from 2017....I hope you are correct.

    Marvelous Marvin Hagler dead at 66

    Was wondering if his profession lead to his much too early demise, and am saddened by his loss - meant no disrespect to him or his fans.
