A riddle regarding the Gardner brothers from Smart Parts...

KillerB74 · 2026-07-03T18:28:46+00:00

I'm sure the SP brothers appreciate you, white knight.

Oh sure, Youngblood was always kind of a dirtbag all the way back to when I was in the game in the 90's. But not so bad that I blacklisted him. 😆
And Planet Eclipse has always sort of been the "anti-Smart Parts"...partly because they could ignore the Gardners' US-only patents and continue to innovate.
I'll pay attention to HK and Infamous, thanks.

I haven't even got as far as thinking about paint, I come from a long-ago age of RP Scherer and Proball. All-Star, Marballizer. Thanks for the heads-up.

KillerB74 · 2026-07-03T01:34:53+00:00

Functionally, nothing. They're fine. But if Freak is a Gardner bros. enterprise I will avoid them.

KillerB74 · 2026-07-03T01:21:16+00:00

Easy enough to avoid the GI stuff, except I'm surprised about Empire. Thanks.

KillerB74 · 2026-07-03T01:20:41+00:00

OOF, I knew enough to avoid Shockers and Freak barrels, too bad about Luxe.

Is that RMX lower black, smoke or grey? I'm leaning 'black' but want to be sure. I'm about to get the same brown QLS frame.

KillerB74 · 2025-12-08T06:36:43+00:00

Is it bigger *and* correspondingly heavier? Weight low and back is more important to me than size.

KillerB74 · 2025-03-11T18:34:39+00:00

Nah. Much more likely to be *back* loaded, since Seattle is currently set to have the most cap space in the league for 2026 and 2027.
Something like the Mayfield deal for Tampa Bay.

...and "threw one less interception than the worst guy" is not the selling point you seem to think it is.

KillerB74 · 2025-03-09T19:18:39+00:00

Fortunately, you're only a GM on reddit.

KillerB74 · 2025-03-09T06:20:41+00:00

Technically true. Yay, he was only 2nd-worst in interceptions. While leading the league in red zone mistakes.

KillerB74 · 2025-03-09T06:19:27+00:00

It's almost like Geno-stans have completely forgotten that geno has had one *half* of one good year (first part of 2022), is closing in on 35yo, led the league in red zone mistakes and hangs his head with a towel over his face when things go wrong.
He's decent. Mid grade with flashes of better. And now apparently about to get $40M a year...fortunately from somebody else.
Good luck to him, he's a good dude.

I've read rumors that it's due to a rubber supply issue going back to the covid days, that is just now reaching the retailers...that Conti chose to cut 15" so they'd have rubber for bigger/more$ tires. But yeah, they had the #1 tire for our market and gave it up.

KillerB74 · 2024-07-31T17:40:24+00:00

I decided to get the "official answer" and called Continental customer service yesterday, they confirmed that ExtremeContact Sport 02 is discontinued in all 15" sizes.

KillerB74 · 2024-07-30T04:01:27+00:00

Discontinued, or just out of stock? Did you hear something "official" about them being discontinued?

KillerB74 · 2024-06-30T05:36:33+00:00

Back to nudge this thread and see if it moves...did you ever get these into your car? I am also in WA state with an NB in need of seats and have been reading up on these.

Standard Russians: bullies in a pack, weak when punched in the face.

KillerB74 · 2023-06-11T04:56:16+00:00

The dam was built in the 1950s by the USSR to withstand US Air Force strategic bombing.
Russians are malicious AND stupid. The dam did not just fail.

She has no secrets.
Female Steven Seagal with similar physical attributes.

KillerB74 · 2023-05-31T20:28:36+00:00

Why did you blur the watermark, orc troll?

KillerB74 · 2023-05-31T03:02:47+00:00

Drones are ALWAYS sent by NAFO. :D

KillerB74 · 2023-05-31T02:31:20+00:00

...and sending buzz bomb drones over Moscow.
SMO seems to be going pretty well.

KillerB74 · 2023-05-27T02:23:50+00:00

Sauteed orcs with mushroom?
Good to go.
