I’m watching AEW Season 2 Episode 25 from January. This is already more entertaining than stuff I’ve seen sporadically in the last 10 years. It’s weird seeing Jericho as an older, slightly heavier guy now, lol.

Enjoy. Let me know what you think. And let me know if you venture into the first season. There are some great episodes there.

Major League. No question.

Austin PD pays very well and are dying for help. Don’t know how deep you are in, but you have to do 24 (if I recall correctly) for an 80% pension. Dept is run very well, much better than the NYPD.

I can understand the grip. See my example above. Austin is undoubtedly blue. But the surrounding towns used to be blood red with people that lived there their whole life. Now these transplants are moving in from the left coast and realizing that the condo they’re going to get for $300k in downtown awesome isn’t as good of a deal as the 3k square foot house they can get for 129k if they live 25 min north in Round Rock. The problem is, in those local elections where the republicans would win with 92% of the vote, the races are becoming close, or sometimes even a democrat wins. This makes the locals VERY unhappy. “Keep that shit in Austin”, is what j would be told constantly. Guys assumed that because I was also a cop that I’d be super pro gun, super anti abortion, etc. I just never said anything, lol. But the folks that live down there felt that the newbies should adjust to their new home and that their town shouldn’t have to change to suit them. I think most people feel that way when an influx of newcomers comes in though. I feel like I’ve heard that type of saying since as long as I can remember.

Even in Canada? lol The Mets first game after 9/11 was something special.

I was going to stay in the police profession and Texas is a right to work state. Retirement was 23 years and they could let you go at year 22, day 364 and you don’t have a leg to stand on. Police work is too tumultuous to not have some sort of union backing you. While I was processing I saw 3 guys get canned for things that didn’t really merit firing. I’m pretty left leaning as far as cops go and I even I was like “he got fired for that?”. One was a shooting, but it was completely justified. High school senior football player was high on K2 and attacked a police officer, while naked. A struggle ensued and the cop him. Both parties were African American but the chief let the guy go immediately for fear of BLM. Body camera footage was perfect and he did everything he was supposed to do. I would never want to be in a position where I’m by myself getting fucked up by a guy that’s about to go play college football and have to worry about getting canned if I make it out alive lol. But in the long run it worked out. My son has a rare genetic condition that only a few thousand people in this country have and the worlds foremost expert on it is on the upper east side. So we’re happy we stayed. That being said, Austin Texas is probably the best city I’ve ever been too. It has everything. Good food, it’s friendly, it has night life, it has history, it has nature you can enjoy, it isn’t super crowded and it’s affordable compared to NYC. The burbs just outside of it are ridiculously cheap. And I would have made more money as a cop there, paid no state income tax and have been able to buy a house 2.5 times the size of my house on Long Island for literally a third of the price. I felt like a dick though. My wife fell in love with that city.

That’s actually a big problem in central Texas. HUGE influx of Californians and people from Washington State and Oregon. They’re the reason central texas is purple now and the natives are NOT happy. I was offered a job with Austin PD and all the guys there live in surrounding towns like pflugerville and round rock. They hate the influx of liberals. HATE IT.

Jericho produced this one on Benoit. The ones from last season about Macho Man and the Montreal screwjob featured Bruce Prichard and Cornie. Everything VICE does is exceptionally well put together

I was at a crossroads in my life and my wife and I were moments from moving to Austin Texas. Great city. It’s th e perfect combination of big city and small town.

Any of you guys watch VICEs series Darkside of the Ring. They just did a 2 parter on Chris Benoit. When they showed the crime scene photos and you see his little boys pajamas on the floor... as a dad, I lost it. My son made me completely soft.

I’m not really sold on Trouba or ADA for that kind of money. And since Trouba is already locked up, it makes it pretty obvious that ADA will have to go. I have an infant, so I didn’t get to watch a lot of hockey this year. But when I did watch, ADA seemed to make a lot of questionable decisions in his own end, albeit, watching him rack up points was great. Last year, I absolutely hated him. He’s really found his offensive game, but it’s questionable whether it will continue or if his not so great defensive ability will improve. How do you lock that up for 7 years at top dollar?

I don?t know if we?ll see him on the ice in a rangers sweater again, but I?m proud to have called him the face of this franchise for the last decade.

Congrats to Phil and his better half on the birth of their child.

I honestly hate this job and wish I never took it. I was planning on vesting at 10, but then had a son with a 1 in 100k genetic disorder and a litany of related issues. Our insurance can’t be beat. So now, I’m stuck. I’m sure me bottling up the frustration at this situation will be the cause of an alcohol problem or repeated therapist visits later on in life, lol.

“This is the job you signed up for.” But the real issue is when you have supervisors they fuck with you with issues like that out of spite. I never understood why so many people harbor negativity towards cops until I became one.

I have an immunosuppressed infant at home. I?m just not going to be able to come home for weeks, if I end up back out there answering radio runs.

Dropkick Murphy’s are streaming a live show for free.

It?s dumb on Brady?s part to leave after 20 years, at 42 years old. Legends that spend their whole career with one team have a mystique that modern day athletes rarely have in the age of free agency. He?s made boat loads of money and won everything. I don?t see the point of this.

I have an 8 month old at home, am I can’t even get bombed and play video games, lol. When he naps, I watch some of the various steaming platforms I sub to. Other than that, I got nothing. I would do some house repair, but I don’t have any of the materials I’d need to do them, lol.
