I'm on this cruise right now heading to Victoria, Canada for tomorrow's port stop. We've had 9-12 hour port stops on this cruise and it's been fantastic. First time to Alaska for my wife and I.

I wasn't the original poster mentioning Spags adjustments in this particular game. Just responded to your comment on how obvious it was to call all out blitz.

Looking at the 3rd vs 4th quarter though, I'd say there were some adjustments because HOU moved the ball at will in the first 3 quarters and just couldn't capitalize on some drives.

He gets too much credit. Anyone can send all an out blitz on every 3rd down.

And yet most don't in that situation. That's where Spags comes into play with his adjustments and play calling.

re: Upgrading credit cards: Chase Sapphire Reserve vs. AMEX Platnium

Any particular reason you are considering the Sapphire Preferred instead of the Reserve? The Sapphire Reserve is more targeted to folks looking at a card like the AMEX Platinum.

Max was ahead. Even the biased Sky announcers agree with it.

re: Any Mint Mobile users?

I've had Mint in Pittsburgh, Houston and all the small towns between Houston and Baton Rouge. Never had any issues with coverage. I'm not sure how rural some of these other responses are talking about but I've been very happy with Mint since I've had it.

Or L'Atelier Joel Robuchon. We are there last night. Definitely one of the best meals of my life.

We go out on a cruise here tomorrow and are staying at JW Marriott but that's because I have status with Marriott so it's just easy for me. I'm doing Uber to the cruise ship tomorrow.

I'd suggest looking into Ethiad and Emirates for flights. I've flown Emirates to Dubai and any of the middle eastern carriers will be significantly higher quality than what you're used to domestically.

What's the name of the cabins you're staying in? Looking at planning a trip sometime in 2023 and just started doing some research.

re: Each NFL team’s most iconic play?

Posted by Big Saint on 12/21/22 at 5:22 pm to RemouladeSawce

I would almost argue Gleason's blocked punt and TD against the Falcons after Katrina is pretty iconic for the Saints as well. Didn't win a Super Bowl obviously so that may knock it down a peg.

re: United Airlines points upgrade - int'l flight

Posted by Big Saint on 12/15/22 at 8:06 pm to slinger1317

I'm curious about booking economy and upgrading with cash after being cheaper as well. That's been my experience with some flights on both United and Delta but I don't fly enough to know if that's the norm or if I was lucky.

Buttercloth

They are fantastic so far. Had a few pairs for a 6 months or so and am replacing my Ex Officio with them.

No way Merc let's Bottas make that call last year for example. The way Max finished that last stint though... It wouldn't have mattered. He was flying.
