Bye week and all so I figured I would give us another topic to discuss for a few days.

Ive developed a rep in my neighborhood for phenomenal smoked pulled pork sandwiches on Halloween night before the kids roll out for trick or treating. A few years ago it started with one pork butt but today I have 4 10lb pork butts in the frig for smoking tomorrow night.

4 10lb pork butts covered generously with Grill Mates Memphis rub and I'll put on the Yoder smoker at 200 degrees around 7:00pm tomorrow night and they will likely roll for 12 to 22 hours.

I'll wake up on Friday morning whenever and insert a couple of instant read thermometers in a couple of the butts just to keep an eye on temps.

No wrap...no spritz..........just let them ride all night and day until they hit around 195-205 IT.......I`ll pull them off and wrap in paper (not foil as my wife hates foil wraps) and then place in cooler and let ride until dinner time. (1-5 hours) Then pull apart

Hawaiian rolls and some sauce as desired and we are good.

Other neighbors supply the bar needs for the night lol

COVID is so 2021.

You all are STUPID. f[raiders_icon]ck THE SATANIC DODGERS. AND f[raiders_icon]ck ANYBODY WHO ROOTS FOR THEM.

Don't even play the games. Just give the World Series trophy to whichever piece of shit team spends the most cash.

I understand those of you who disagree because you have never played sports at a very high level so you don't understand what playing on a level field to determine if you are the best by your God given talent feels like. Winning by that way is the ultimate feeling, knowing you did it with your talent alone...what a f[raiders_icon]cking rush.

SO f[raiders_icon]ck LA f[raiders_icon]ck NY AND ALL TEAMS THAT WIN BY HAVING THE MOST MONEY. IT DESTROYS SPORTS.

What professional team did you play for? Also, do you realize how often the team with the highest payroll wins it all? Here let help you with that
MLB: 48% of the time
NFL (they have a cap but there are ways to spend the most even with their cap system) 30% of the time
NBA (same cap system) 44% of the time

And here is the kicker, players, particularly one's who come from Japan and Korea like sticking with west coast teams. They are closer to home and they grow up being fans of teams like the Dodgers and Angels. Dodgers just got two of the best at their positions. But things like moderate weather, access to lots of entertainment venues, locations etc are far and away more available on the west coast. There is nothing satanic about a team. Calling someone stupid for rooting for a team of choice is pretty stupid in itself. Oh and baseball is thriving right now, and the stands of many teams are full night after night. Seems the destruction of MLB is not quite an accurate assessment.

All this from a guy who is not a fan of the Dodgers, I like another team that spends a lot.

And here is the best part....the highest spending team in baseball did not even make the playoffs.

Feel better?
They are still your world champions though

Curly: Coop, I thought you would be managing in the bigs by now. What are you doing? We were teammates. We could have made it to the Bigs!

Coop: Curly, it was little league. We were 12 years old!
