speculation that I have no real proof of, but I hope its true - crash davis Jan 2, 11:48 10
- Ford sells the F-150 in King Ranch trim which seems like a perfect pivot point for a Dutton Ranch edition, but the show seems pro Ram.. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 12:29
- You're almost certainly right. Along those lines, Taylor Sheridan bought about 300,000 acres of land in Texas. - David Jan 2, 11:51 3
  - plus he can write off the purchase of that texas ranch by featuring it in the show -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 12:05 1
    - Only part of it. Anything that is land is not deductible and that’s probably a lot of the cost. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 12:37
  - Perry is a great example, Sheridan has found his "brand" and works it well -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 12:00
- they would have to pay for permits to film in the park and hire lots of locals for services, rangers for security -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 2, 11:51

Rivera: "I know I made a little bit of a gaffe yesterday, not realizing that we could get knocked out of the playoffs" -- (link) - budice Jan 2, 10:50 6

  - Even if he knew…he still thought Wentz was the better option after…what? A mediocre game vs a top defense? - Will Hunting Jan 2, 11:48 3
    - I know how you feel, but I disagree. This team has no business being competitive, but he coached them up. - David Jan 2, 11:53 2
      - Him going back to Wentz already lost the team. Heinecke isn’t good but they play for him. They don’t for Wentz. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 12:05

- Having never been, what's the significance here. -- nm - TWuG Jan 2, 10:54 2
  - It's a dark ride, so difficult to photograph in general. This particular spot is in the graveyard, the five busts sing in a barbershop quintet style. - Fuzzy Jan 2, 11:04 1

- That’s awesome! -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 2, 10:32

Lol, Kevin -- (link) - znufrii Jan 2, 09:22 14
- he's going to be one of the weakest speakers of the house ever. -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 10:30

    - where? even "moderate" Repubs only consume their Fox-approved diet of info -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 10:10 6
      - I said “more moderate”. There are plenty of conservative republicans that can’t stand the extreme wing that is running this process. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 10:20 2
        
        They may hate it but it’s still better to them than having Democrats in power so…*shrug* -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 2, 10:55
        
        they hate losing elections now that they’re losing, not the actual losing policies themselves -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 10:33
      - it would be fun to call their bluff with like, Andrew Yang. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 10:19 2
        
        Cheney! -- nm - mud Jan 2, 10:20 1

McCullough: One New Year’s resolution for every MLB team as they enter 2023 - crash davis Jan 2, 08:08 4
- The Mets one is funny. It's not anything baseball related but bringing back Keith Hernandez to their booth. - Krusty Jan 2, 08:15 3
  - But it is consistent as it involves the Mets spending more money. -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 08:19 2
    - Sadly for the fans it's the cheapskate Wilpons that own the TV Network so who knows what will happen. - Krusty Jan 2, 08:22 1
