The problem with rednecks in this scenario is that you won't be living next to one of them. There will be 8 people living in that house and 10 cars in the front yard. Rednecks flock together and are slow to cut the chords that hold them back.

Left wing moonbats on the other hand tend to be the black sheep who flee from any social ties or anyone who disagrees with them. They isolate. So you will only be dealing with one or two of them.

On a personal level, I would much rather deal with a redneck on a one-on-one basis but as a neighbor there's going to be a colony of them embedded next door to you and that completely changes the analysis.

Yeah, six SEC teams are not getting in.

Vandy and Texas need to pull hard for upsets in the Iron Bowl and OU-LSU so they could shuffle into those SEC slots maybe with some help elsewhere.

Rodgers was supposed to break every NFL passing record and now he is sort of a bum.


Rodgers didn't start his first game until he was 25 because he had to back up Favre for three seasons and then he missed half of two seasons with injuries. Nobody expected him to catch Manning and Brady.

Stafford is having a crazy good year though. I think most people assumed he would be retired by now and might win the MVP.

I mean, if my knee swelled or locked up I would just assume I strained it somehow or maybe arthritis. Deep joint bacterial infections are fairly rare and I bet most people just assume they are getting old for several days before the "oh crap I need to go to the ER" moment hits.

Before Mexican Coke was popularized, I used to go to the Jewish store and buy kosher coke (same thing). The orthodox Jews who ran the place eventually banned me from buying it because I was a gentile. I had an old girlfriend who was Jewish so I got her to go in and buy it for me.

We used to joke that our lives had turned into a Seinfeld episode.


I think it's funny that LSU had one of the greatest offenses college football has ever seen and it was coached by Orgeron (a dude who had his head buried in the defensive line for his entire neanderthal career) and Ensminger sitting in the press box with a dusty 1962 book on how to win football.

And GA Tech is actually a look forward game this year.


If these dudes had been born 500 years ago all they would have had to do was go to the nearest harbor in Spain and hop on a ship.


Episode 4 is another slow drag like 3. She's slowly developing a battle strategy but there's not a lot of intrigue.

I think a problem with this show is the "last man on earth" concept isn't that interesting from a series perspective. A standalone - like Castaway or Omega Man - sure, but a series revolving around an unlikeable bitch who has every human/survivability whim catered to by an army of servants is a harder sell.

Breaking Bad started with an amazing first episode but then it slowly built up into what it became with some slop built in between. Hopefully this will do the same.

When I was a kid I thought everybody in England was a perv who just chased women around. This show was all I knew of the old country.

Syndication rights must have been cheap and the affiliates had nothing to compete with Carson so they just said what the hell, let's just show a horny old man chasing young women around the park every night.

Just like the Brady bunch!

Except I don't think there was an episode of the Brady Bunch where Greg murdered Jan and stuffed her corpse under his bed.


This entire craze started at Auburn in the 80s at a place called Guthries.


It would probably depend on who you beat in the playoffs to make it to the NCG. Beating juggernauts in the first few rounds versus sneaking by G5 and a lackluster conference champion (see Penn St last year). We're still new to the expanded playoffs so "making a special run" hasn't soaked in yet.

For contrast - basketball. I think most fans would take a Final Four run over winning a regular season or conference tournament title. Auburn has done all of them multiple times recently and I'm taking a great March Madness run over the trophies.

It's weird to think about now that we live in an era where we are bombarded with this kind of stuff but Unsolved Mysteries and America's Funniest Home Videos were huge back in the late 80s. The idea that we could get these non-fictional microdoses of true crime and goofy videos was pretty crazy and foretold of the world to come.

Californians actually voted for redistricting to occur, unlike Texas.


They had to do this. Texas and California have different laws on re-districting and both of them followed the only legal path available.

It's not like the deep blue CA legislature would have rejected this or the deep red TX populace would have rejected a referendum if those options were available.

you don’t need all that shite to live well. It’s so fricking easy to live simply and happily. And it starts with the little things that add up to big things


There's some truth to this but what we see now are complaints from people who DO live simply. Most of the inflation bomb landed on things like rent, groceries, health insurance, used cars, car insurance, utilities, etc. When the cost of basic human essentials goes up 30% in five years and people's income doesn't budge, that's a serious problem.


Gore was a "compiler" but I'm ok with those guys getting in. It doesn't feel right having someone so high in the record books being denied just because he lacked the wow factor or wasn't on posters in kid's bedrooms.

Plus he put up all those counting stats after blowing out both knees. That's really rare for a RB. Durability has to count for something, especially in a sport as physical as the NFL.


There's a theory that domesticated cats evolved the meow and other "cute noises" to imitate human babies because humans instinctively respond to those tonal pitches with nurturing affection.

Cats in the wild or cats that interact with other cats don't make cute sounds. That make grunts, growls and guttural noises.
