re: Keep Pickens in 6th or Egbuka in 8th?
Posted by wrlakers on 8/12/26 at 12:44 pm to Master Guilbeau
I'm not going to research this, but my memory is that the entire Bucs WR/TE group was injured at the beginning of the 2025 season. Wasn't last year that they were dropping like flies?
I mention this because EE was great for half the season, then he was playing through an injury and very quiet for the second half.
Pro EE: WRs usually make big jumps in year 3, but sometimes in year 2 or 4.
Pro Pickets: Pickens had 1400+ yards last year. Not bad for a #2 WR. Pickens also looking for a long-term deal.

This is illegal.

30 years ago, I asked coworkers for recommendations. Got a referral. 30 years later, still have the same maid.
Ask the people you work with. Ask what they're paying. Find a referral at the right price. Enjoy never having to mop a floor, change the bed, or scrub a toilet again.
re: Need tips on cooling laundry room without AC

our laundry room seems to have been an addition at some point and never had central air put in.
I have the same set up. The lack of A/C does not bother me. I don't spend enough time in the room to get hot.
I keep the door closed at all times, except when I'm actually loading the laundry, moving it to the dryer, or unloading the dryer.
I do laundry at night or early morning to avoid the hottest time of the day. Keep a tub of Damp Rid in there if the room seems humid. You might try a wall mounted fan to keep the air moving.

re: Anything to do different frying frog legs vs fish?

Do you do anything different or is it pretty much the same as fish?
It's been a minute, but back in the day when my dad went frogging on a regular basis, my mother cooked them like fried chicken.
She'd salt and pepper the legs, dip in milk, then dip in scrambled raw egg, then shake in paper bag with salted flour. At least that's how she did chicken. It's possible that she'd just do milk and flour for frog legs because they seemed to have a little less batter than chicken.
I've only made them once and I'm pretty sure I used the chicken method.

I flew a team charter on Sun Country once. It was okay.
When we got back to the team's home city after the game, the crew offered us a flight back to our city of origin. Maybe eight or ten people on the whole plane, including crew. That thing went straight up on take off.

Saw this yesterday on SI.com. A quick review reveals a load of mediocrity from a fantasy perspective all thanks to free agency.
SI.com ranking NFL best offensive triplets
No. 31 (Browns) made me think that offensive was an appropriate descriptor. Without Garrett, I feel like no one is going to want to watch that team.

Texas already issued a hold order on all movements.
Incorrect.
Texas placed a moratorium on movement within a 20-kilometer quarantine zone. That's a 12-4 mile perimeter from the break out zone in La Pryor, Texas.
Considering the size of the state of Texas, the quarantine zone is a relatively small area.

What city are you in? I have taken several pieces to Andrews in Dallas, and they do a wonderful job.

Onion rings.
They are not Mike Anderson's onion rings, but they are popular.
I will add that you should get a steak or chop. Being from Louisiana, I skip on seafood at a place like Bob's.
I have been with people that swear by the chop salad. I'm not really a chop salad fan.

Agree.
I have zero sympathy for this guy. If he hadn't been caught, he would have gone to Texas Tech and kept doing the same thing. There are consequences for stuff like this and, in this particular case, the consequence fits the crime.
He will likely never play in the NFL. I wouldn't want him on my team if I was an owner or GM anyway. Lacks respect for authority and has an unearned sense of entitlement if he thinks a lawsuit should prevent the NCAA from enforcing its rules against him.
This was not an isolated instance of poor judgment. This was a substantial lapse by a person who knew the consequences.
re: More about Sepsis, probably the best article I have read about, worth its own thread IMO

Here we are on page 3 and no one has mentioned how awesome it would be if a pioneering university research and development team developed a test for sepsis.

If you're looking to grill, grilled quesadillas. Lots of options and prep the ingredients in advance.
Easy to eat without a fork or plate.
If you want to get fancy, set up bowls of sour cream and salsa.

This sounds right.
I have been two garages recently that have a QR code to pay. I'm not scanning a QR code that is plastered on the wall in a public space. I have never paid at either garage and I have never gotten a text from either garage. When I drive to the exit, the arm rises and lets me out every time.
Chicken,
My PC no longer logs me in automatically every time I logout. Not having this problem on my work computer.
I'm using chrome. The PC saves my log in for other sites. Any ideas?
After 19 years on Tigerdroppings this just started, and it's really annoying.
