Discuss!

I started up a fantasy league for PtR users. If you're interested in joining, post something here and I'll send you an email (whatever is on your SBNation profile).

In other news, Spurs had their open practice Sunday afternoon ("Game"Thread here | Spurlady account of the action here). What did you think? See anything you like/didn't like?

I would like to take a DTour from all this fantasy talk, and discuss corndog recipe’s.

by NinjaRabbi on Oct 4, 2010 12:52 AM CDT reply actions

Personally, I’d rather talk about deep fried beer, as I’m not a big corndog fan. Any of you Texans tried that yet?

With all due respect, gentlemen, we're not as crazy as she is.

by CapHill on Oct 4, 2010 11:41 AM CDT up reply actions

How does that work?

by NinjaRabbi on Oct 5, 2010 12:42 AM CDT up reply actions

Correct me if I’m wrong, Texans, but the Texas State Fair is known for deep frying anything and everything (i’ve only been once as a kid). They have an annual competition for the latest and greatest deep fried creations. Apparently, this guy spent 3 years trying to come up with a way to deep fry beer. It sounds really good, so I was wondering if anyone had tried it.

Quick Question...

Does anyone here use the NBA league pass? I’m probably going to get it anyway, but I’m curious about the apparently intentionally-vague blackout rules? How often are Spurs games blacked out in SA?

chaos... panic... pandemonium... my work here is done.

by rick2g on Oct 4, 2010 1:34 PM CDT reply actions

Spurs games will always be blocked out in SA. If it is on your local station, National TV, Cable or playing in some Meteore zooming past earth (the last one may or not be true) you wont be able to watch the game. The worst blackout is when the game is on NBA TV (included the weekly fan pick game, so you cant even plan around not seeing the game till that night) games also get blocked out….which makes me mad. and makes me think about not getting NBA league pass this year…but i would hate to be stuck to watching the mavericks to get my basketball fix.

i’m going a little off topic here, but i had to share this with someone…….

so, i live in cincinnati and i’m ambling thru northern kentucky (right across the ohio river from me) a few weeks ago when i got a speeding ticket. i didn’t have an updated insurance card on me, so i had to take my proof to court in order to get the charge waived and all that.

well, my court appearance was today and the judge…..well the judge was none other than Gregory T Popovich.

I wanted very much to crack some kind of Spurs joke – or at least ask the dude if he ever heard about having the same name as an NBA coach, etc. however, i thought better of it and just showed my proof, paid my speeding ticket and got out of there……..but it is funny or ironic or something…..right?
