You'd have to go back to 2013 for the last time a QB wasn't drafted in the first ten picks (Manuel to Buffalo at 16... it didn't work out). 2013 actively sucked for QBs, not a single one that made it in the league as a starter past a few years. Although a handful hung around as backups (Mike Glennon!). Wonder if 2022 will be the same. Teams are so QB happy I just can't see a team in the Top 10 resisting.
I was at a sports bar/wing joint for a live draft event and there was a collective "WTF" followed by laughter after that pick. NO ONE was defending it, and the few Bills fans were depressed. I was worried about the tables.

I would love to at least try their brisket. But if that's not an option then I'm down for any recommendations from this third party seller (which Buc-ee's referenced in their FAQ section) https://texassnax.com All I know is I made a mistake in looking right before bed because now I'm getting hungry.
EDIT: Almost forgot you used to live in Texas. Well, if you missed any of that goodness then there ya go.
From that Buc-ees list, just the Nuggets. Their jerky is fine but at the end of the day it's just jerky.
Likewise, Buc-ees brisket is surprisingly decent for a chain convenience superstore but depending on where you live there is probably a BBQ joint in your area that has watched Aaron Franklin's videos and can make a comparable brisket.

There is nothing bad at Buc-ee's.
other than the owner and the mask compliance.
My wife and I stop at Buc-ees for the bathrooms and the fountain drinks, since they're so cheap. They do have some good branded snacks and jerky.

This is funny.
So was Jericho's awful, fresh dye job a couple weeks back an elaborate rib?

if that doesn't stick, then Gunther becomes Billy Gunther. Then they bring in another German speaker to be Bart Gunther in a German Cowboy team
They probably can't go with the German translation of "Mr. Ass" since the name "Herr Ass" might displease some people in 2022
Or they could go with Gunther Gabel and have him dress like a circus performer and use the Liontamer for a finish.

On a related note, nobody needs to pull a big-time QB out of the portal more than Lane Kiffin. He badly wanted to get out of Ole Miss on this hiring cycle, and it didn’t happen. Didn’t even get close really. And he knows that there’s a very high likelihood that this thing falls apart without a solid replacement for Matt Corral, and then he’s stuck in Oxford limbo for even longer.
I've seen Jaxson Dart as likely to Ole Miss, although he's currently on an "unexpected" visit to BYU.
Speaking of unexpected visits, Isaiah Neyor portaled from Wyoming to Tennessee last week but took more visits before actually showing up for classes and just flipped to the other, better orange UT.

And to wrap this up in a bow
Per Fightful - the WWE has abandoned the Gunther Stark trademark
Damn, Cody has a lot more power than we think!

Forbidden Door is just working with other organizations you're supposed to pretend don't exist.
That was the only part I understood since it's been mentioned here the last couple of weeks!
Your explanation above my post summed it up pretty well and maybe also why I reacted so negatively to it.

Can someone explain to me, point by point (or as much as possible), what Cody's promo was about? I understand that AEW rewards smart fans and has opened "the forbidden door" but it kind of alienates newer people like myself who are coming back into the fold for the first time in years. If I wanted rambling shooty stuff, I would listen to podcasts.

Honestly the only thing that could have put Max’s rap completely over the top would have been a When We Were Young reference (although Bowen’s taunt was related).
-
I did love the fan who audibly yelled “You are So Annoying” in the middle of Cody’s word vomit.
And props to Archer for all of the heeling to that young black girl!

Welcome the Black Parade, bitch.
I laughed out loud when he said that, line of the night! And that’s with Caster dropping a perfect “gory self-mutilation” reference in his rap (another great one, Max is on a roll).

I think that's kinda the point of them. They're four oddball guys who never fit in anywhere else and kinda gravitated towards eachother, and somehow found they got along and kind of found their own niche. I guess it's because I often found myself in friend groups with other guys who didn't really have another clique to join so just kind of hung out together by default. I do like the idea of Drake and Arn Jr. in some throwback southern brawler team as well as Avalon and Greene as The Heavenly Bodies 2.0.
I went to a tiny college in a redneck town and let me tell you how real that is. All the goths, punks, hippies, theater kids, and general misfits all hung out in the smoking alcove of the cafeteria and partied together.
I also always assumed the Wingmen was a reference to the main guy (Sabian? I actually don’t know) was a PUA who was bringing on all these Wingmen as his trainees.

Another very loaded episode. A lot to keep up with, maybe too much again.
Opener was great, Statlander’s 450 was amazing, I knew they weren’t going to have Cole take a pin but why not have Stat beat Britt? Like they said later, it’s not much of a feud when Best Friends lose every match. Also, I get that the whole face heel structure is passé but Adam Cole’s angle is a face angle.
Loved the Punk-Spears squash, appropriate for the storyline. I know the crowd was pretty dead but holy shit you could hear crickets for Spears entrance.
The Archer-Kaz match was too long and plodding, and honestly I’m not sure it really did much to build Archer.
Deeb/Blue wasn’t a total squash which was a good thing. Deeb is so awesome.
House of Black/Varsity Blondes was a mess, but the PAC video was badass.
Main event was fantastic, I honestly thought maybe they’d let Acclaimed get a quick pin on Darby and keep this feud going, but Acclaimed still come out looking good. Sting’s table dive was a total holy fuck moment.
I have no idea what the hell Cody was going on about and I’ll complain again about too much smarky stuff in promos/angles. Should be a good match though, hope Sammy wins.
The Gunn Club, Rappongi Vice, Hirsch turn, and Dante/Moriarty/Sydal backstage stuff was good. Probably best to have the Hirsch turn be away from the ring.
Couldn’t hear what Mox reacted to, all I heard was a boo. Great promo though!
I am already fucking sick of the Hook hype after 2 matches.
They set up a bunch of good looking matches for the next couple of weeks and forwarded some angles. I’m already having a hard time recalling everything that happened.

Have to admit I have felt for a while that Imperium is a Japanese wrestler away from being an Axis Powers reference.
I only saw NXT a couple of times but the impression I came away with was that it was already a WWII reference.

I was thinking about and it really feels like everyone around here doesn't watch shows on regular network TV anymore or nothing that is memorable enough to discuss.
Not that I do either since the only shit I watch on regular TV is singing competitions.
I know I'm not supposed to reply to really old posts so please don't ban me
I watch "Ghosts" because I love Rose McIver and it's really funny. I've never watched the British version so I have nothing to compare it to (but also I don't care for British comedy except Spaced).
Saw the first episode of "American Auto" and it has some promise, from the creator of Superstore and has some of that same vibe. Ana Gasteyer is good but also feels like the part was written for Kathryn Hahn.

I like how the poster lined up the three sacrificial lamb matches. We're getting three glorious murders here and I can't decide which one I'm the most giddy about.
The black and white for the House of Black was a nice touch, too.
As for the mixed tag, is Statlander taller than Adam Cole? That could be an interesting visual.

Just saw a FB post (one of my friends replied to it, thanks algorithm) that AEW will be in Austin (technically Cedar Park) on March 23rd for live Dynamite and Rampage taping. Guess I'll be getting a ticket, hopefully the Covid situation will have settled down enough that I'll feel safe attending. I imagine we'll see Austin's own Dustin Rhodes.

In my headcanon, Vince is suffering from dementia and thinks it's 1984. He absolutely walked into the room and said to Ali, "here are some friends of mine that are going to get you over like nobody's business, pal!" And proceeded to hand him a keffiyeh and some pointy boots.
Vince would do that, but thinking "The Iron Sheik is pretty popular online but he hates me personally, so what can I do to piss him off?"

My question about Sammy's finisher is "Isn't it exactly the same as Punk's?", and if so, will they have a "battle of the finisher" feud?
