I guarantee the Pirates would sell out PNC every game if they were consistently competitive. It is my favorite ballpark and I love the atmosphere around there. Imagine how it would be sold out. Steelers fandom lite.

This Summer Olympics was probably the best I’ve seen and the most I’ve watched since London 2012. I wish NBC would do a closing montage with Ode To Joy like ABC used to back in the day.

And now I found the BBCs closing montage from 2 hours ago and I want to cry.

They don't get paid enough to do their job without tips.


Same as with servers then. Find a job that pays more. It’s their fault for doing a job for less than what they should be getting paid.

A lot of food delivery drivers jump right into the job after they lose their prior job because all you have to do is submit info and a background check and within a day or two you can work. It's much faster than applying to entry level places and waiting for a call and an interview. Those people normally do it when they are in-between jobs while waiting for their normal line of work.

I'm Air Force, 1 July is my retirement date.

Best Base: MacDill AFB, FL. It's home for me, we have 2 Joint combatant commands, and the base is beautiful on Tampa Bay.

Worst Base: Robins AFB, GA. Crappy base is in a shithole town south of a ghetto arse city (Macon). Leadership sucked overall.

My favorite show is Seinfeld but there are a couple that come to mind for me.

I was a teenager then but it made me crack up.

I saw this on TV Land thought this was hilarious.

In Tampa, this is as good as it gets.

Maybe it's time to challenge the monopoly. NBC and Fox could do it. NBC has at least one useless channel on the weekend in CNBC and I doubt anyone would be unhappy if there were less episodes of SVU and the Chicago stuff on USA.

You could also have Fox broadcast and expand out FS1 and Fox Business on the weekends. The two should band together and assault ESPN and their rodent masters....especially on the college playoff by buying the rights to some bowls like Fox did in the 2000's. The 2008 Sugar Bowl with LSU ( Nat. Championship) was on Fox.

Never have I been happier that my Wolverines and the Big Ten are no longer on ESPN.

I would love for the CFP to leave ESPN for CBS, NBC, Fox, or a combo of those but everyone knows ESPN sucks CFP's dick and ESPN actually has right of first refusal for the CFP when the deal is up in 2025. It wouldn't be so bad if they had put the CFP Semi-Final and Final games on ABC but ESPN won't do that like the other 3 networks would.

Take this for what it is. New York born and Florida raised but have been stationed in New Jersey, Florida (x2), Mississippi, Ohio, and Georgia through the Air Force. I am a year from retirement living near MacDill AFB in Tampa.

I unfortunately have never been stationed in Texas where H-E-B is. I only saw it in passing on the bus in Basic Training and my Tech School was up in Wichita Falls which is podunk and didn't have H-E-B. But my Texas friends rant and rave about it!

I was stationed at Keesler 2010-2014 and have been to Rouse's in Ocean Springs, Gulfport, Diamondhead, and Slidell and maybe since OS and Gulfport were old A&Ps they seemed crappy except for the store made seafood and King Cakes.

My wife and I would make a monthly trek to Publix in Daphne and then Mobile when it opened for our PubSub fix and yes there were some Florida based items like Makoto's Japanese Dressings from Melbourne, Joffrey's Bagged Coffee from Tampa, and some local beers like Cigar City Brewing but like TulaneLSU said he is right there aren't many local items.

He definitely has it right that the prices are outragous at Publix and because of that we order our groceries for delivery through Kroger now which we had in Ohio and Georgia. Kroger's store label products to me rival Publix in most aspects. I really hope Kroger gets enough foothold to start building physical stores here in Florida and rival Publix like they do in every state outside of Florida.

Publix is a way of life in Florida. The only other options are Winn-Dixie or Aldi (I never count Wal-Mart as that is not a real grocery store). You pay for the experience at Publix. The stores he visited were probably at least 12 years old or were former Albertson's locations. The real good Publixes are the newest ones in Tampa. They have full on Coffee and Beer bars, Pizza bar, Burrito/Taco bar, and Rice Bowl bar. I think Publix like most stores along with the other 2 mentioned its location specific. You can have an expansive Publix with all of the bars above or a basic Publix with just Bakery and Deli.

And one more thing

But Publix sandwich-sub bar sadly just does not make the cut. The much ballyhooed subs at Publix fail for me. I tried two and both times I thought Subway made a better sub.

Are you on crack comparing Publix Subs to the McDonald's of sub places that smell like "bread fart"? I can name at least 5 sub joints that are better than Subway!

I don't think Wheel makes a diversity pick for host unless it's Maggie Sajak or an "approachable" black guy like Michael Strahan or Alfonso Ribiero.

Out of the Wheel and Jeopardy duo, Wheel is the most watched now since Alex Trebek's passing and the majority of viewers skew older. Both of my grandparents watched Wheel and Jeopardy and now my mom who is in her mid 60s watches every single night. If Wheel's host is a "woke pick", viewership will tank.
