Pfft, this round of hirings (promoting a guy to GM who's big into analytics, hiring a college coach who has actually had some success) is way better than the last one (hiring a 70-year-old GM and a coach with a proven record of failure).

chan gailey had a winning record as a head coach in the nfl and college when he was hired by the bills. pretty bizarre to say that marrone has had some success but gailey had a proven record of failure. i mean obv lol gailey and a lot of his success came a long time ago but still.

Seriously, I just want to eat the ****ing potato chips I bought! You were there! WTF?

Things like this are why being forever alone isn't that awful

Hard to evaluate Gailey's Dallas stint accurately imo, given the leftover talent + the fact that he only lasted two years. FWIW, Gailey had also been fired from his last two HC jobs when he was hired by the Bills; Marrone is getting a promotion.

Well if you're trying not to have sex with them I can see where the appeal of women might go over your head

Also, Holliday, you really couldn't have fixed that with a "Why didn't you say something when I bought them?"

relax, i'm just breaking your balls. it is true that the idea of long-term companionship makes no sense if you get your ideas about it from beer commercials.

it always baffled me that the standard sitcom relationship for so long was "fat, ugly guy has wife who's way too hot for him but who he hates and is bored of having sex with." geez, what a spoiled baby.

I really loled at 30 Rock recently when Jenna said "I'm sick of losing parts to Julie Bowen to play Kevin James' hot wife he hates having sex with!" or something like that.

Evidently they pay some ***hole to drive a truck full of them all the way from the midatlantic. And yes, I live in a swamp in Alabama. The stores are not in the swamp though. Piggly Wiggly carries the full line of UTZ products--but they're usually sold out of the red hot.

the point is that it has nothing to do with "speak[ing] to women about the following"

it's that YOUR woman is a control freak weirdo and we're laughing at you for marrying her
