    Beer

    The Acela Express is a decent ride too. I use to have to take that ever so often many years ago when the company I was working for back then have their HQ in DC.
  2. Blue Mountain Sportsmen Center in Cortlandt Manor in Westchester.
  3. Well it is suppose to be a trilogy I believe.
  4. I haven't been to the movie theaters since my first son was born. Me and my wife gets only so many "get out of jail free" cards and we tend to use it on other things. But I grew up on comics when I a little kid and the Infinity War was release right at the prime of my childhood years so I'm very excited...and curious as to how the movie will play out. It's already some what changed from the comics.
  5. Wagyu steak and Fusilli with Speck for lunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. I took a strip of backstrap once and dry aged it in my fridge for 7 days. I sat it on a small grill so that there was good air circulation and rotated it at least once a day, sometimes twice. It developed a really nice rind. Cut off the rind at the end of the 7 days and boy was that backstrap good. Super tender. I didn't use a knife and fork, I simply took my fingers and ripped off chucks to pop into my mouth. In the end though, I lost so much meat to shrinkage and rind that I'm not so sure if it was all worth it. Too much lost for a bit of improvement.
  8. Ditto but I'd go with the Porterhouse over the Ribeye.
  9. Draft going exactly how I want it for my Giants. Barkley running behind Hernandez. Now if they can draft Orlando Brown and either a CB or a DE in round 3, I can go home happy.
  10. Quenton Nelson was in a class of his own but there is a ton of offensive line prospects in the draft still. I'm hoping the Giants draft Will Hernandez in the 2nd round. They need to grab at least 2 offensive lineman in the next 2 rounds. (They have two 3rd round picks)
  11. Because he's a project. He is a tremendous athlete that was able to bully college competition but his QB skills are very lacking. Teams that draft him are hoping that they can teach him how to be a QB over time. I read that a lot of teams told him that if he is willing to switch to RB or WR, they would jump on him but he insists that he's a QB. Think Terrelle Pryor.
  12. I like the Tremaine Edmunds pick. Looks like the Bills might have a good draft. I preferred Rosen over Allen though.
  13. A gamble. The next 4 teams all were locked at QB so Bills just need to jump to 10. I guess they were afraid Arizona might have jumped ahead of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. The hole in that logic is that they aren’t getting a starting QB on a rookie salary, they would had gotten a backup QB on a rookie salary. Plus, people forget that the Giants already have Davis Webb and none of us know how Gettleman feels about Webb. Technically, they may already have a starting QB on a rookie salary. Lastly, when was the last time a QB drafted in the top 10 took their team to a Super Bowl victory that didn’t have Manning as a surname? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Just because they're the best of what's available doesn't put them as great QBs. There are no Peyton Manning's or Andrew Lucks in this draft. Guys who will step in day 1 and become a star. Sure, maybe down the line, one of them will work their butt off and become a Kurt Warner or Drew Brees but there's just as much of a chance a guy like you said, Lamar Jackson doing that and he'll be available at the end of the 1st round. Just look at the Giants backup QB, Davis Webb. When Jared Goff left school, 2 backups fought for the starting job which Davis Webb won. The person that lost? Baker Mayfield. Baker decided to transfer out. So essentially the Giants 3rd round pick last year beat out the potential #1 pick this year for a starting job. Eventually, Webb lost his job to Patrick Mahomes (the 10th pick last year who the Chiefs gave up two first round picks for). Davis Webb then transferred and in his senior year, put up numbers just as good as the QBs in this years draft. I know not everyone feels the same way but my strategy is if you have a shot at the next Peyton Manning, you take it. But if you have a shot at the next Ryan Tannerhill or Joe Flacco...it's better to hit the reset button and try again next year because Joe Flacco will make sure you're stuck in mediocrity for the next 5-6 years.
  16. I am not going to make the assumption that I know more about these players than the scouts that watch them in camp. As a Giants fan, I’ll be happy with whatever they take if they feel that guy is worth it. He is what I do think. Darnold is the real deal but that’s doesn’t mean his is a super star QB. He’s just the best and most likely to succeed of the bunch. This is a weak draft for QBs. If the Browns don’t take Darnold at #1 then my feeling is the Giants take him. All hints show that the Giants prefer him the most of all the QBs. But it can also be smoke and mirrors. The other question is what does Gettleman feel about Davis Webb? This is a weak QB draft. The Giants May feel that Webb might be close to the QBs in this draft or just as good. It seems like they feel Webb is close enough to the other QBs that they can pass on a QB unless it’s Darnold. If Darnold goes #1 to the Browns, I think the Giants will go with Barkley. Chubb is a very strong possibility too. They also like the Offensive Guard from Notre Dame, Nelson. They’ll pass up on the other QBs. Gettleman feels that Eli Manning has a couple of years left then he’ll look to rebuild on the fly and try to contend quickly. You don’t want to waste a #2 pick for a backup QB unless you know that backup QB will definitely become a perennial pro bowler some day. QBs drafted at #2 aren’t expected to hold the clipboard that long. Barkley is a generational talent. Yes, #2 is way too high for a RB in the backs by committee NFL but if you really want a player, would you pass them up just because you think he should go a couple of picks after you pick? You’re trying to win NFL games, not draft grades. The only knock against Barkley is that there are a couple of other RBs in this draft that are also highly regarded so the Giants can go in a different direction and still get a good RB in round 2. If a RB is a reach at #2 then a Guard is an even further reach. Nelson is suppose to be awesome but Barkley is even better. On top of that, as deep as the RBs are this year, Guards are even deeper. Giants really need help on the offensive line but they can still get a good one in the later rounds. That’s where Chubb comes in. Giants just traded JPP. Gettleman and Giants have always built on the trenches. Giants need a pass rusher. Chubb is the best rusher in this draft by a wide margin. Problem is, like the QBs, he is not as good as the other too DE in previous drafts. In the end, I think Darnold goes to the Browns, Giants take Barkley, Jets take Mayfield, Browns take Chubb, Denver trades down with Buffalo and Buffalo takes Josh Rosen, Colts take Nelson.

  17. No other forum. Though I when I read sports articles on ESPN, I'll read the comments and sometimes I'll reply to some dumb comments just for s#!ts and giggles.
