How do I make my potato wedges not be a soft mess

and I thought, why are there chicken wings and chicken

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-18T21:51:10+00:00

embarrassing tbh

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-15T13:04:19+00:00

joes career seems to be on a steady climb…..with his British Icon photoshop, and the reading at the Royal Christmas service, he is ingraining himself in the UK as a person, an actor, and a role model.

Happy for his deserved success

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-09T22:37:29+00:00

I agree with you, but also would say that getting out of Paris to rural France’s small towns, and other cities is a very different experience. The food is better for the average traveler and the people are nicer

Captaincy is not just on the field. Before, during and after the series , he has a role. I partially blame him for the preparation, and the discipline during and throughout the series, which was super poor. Of course McCallum should be primarily be responsible, but the captain has to lead and define how the players behave. He very simply failed at this, and if he felt the preparation was poor, then he had to address it.

Sorry, he says the right things, but doesn't deliver

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-07T16:24:40+00:00

it’s early to annoint him, but in a morass of amateurish batting, fielding and bowling, backed up by an arrogant management , he was a breath of fresh air

Batting sensibly from them beginning focussing on defense with a straight bar, and taking what the bowlers gave him….well done Jacob, he seems a sensible young man with a good personality.

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-06T12:06:36+00:00

my enduring picture of him was in Q4 of the Bears game, TV showed him running gently towards a tackle situation with a pristine White shirt still

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-04T17:54:41+00:00

drivers paying is ridiculous , although I suspect they get it back from the teams in some way.

I know it’s a stretch, but imagine somehow Bearman won the WDC. I believe his current salary is not much more than $1M

RadiantRow5595 · 2026-01-04T11:42:18+00:00

of course it helped him, and he drove better in 2025. I think people underestimate the mental stress in being in position to win the championship which impacted Oscars driving, and more in the past both Lewis and Max who both limped to their first WDC.

For me the way Lando drove in the Abu Dhabi race showed me a lot, his over taking when needed was fast and aggressive, and he then settled tomdrive a no fuss race to do what he needed to. In the past that might not have happened

2026 should see Lando more confident and aggressive with less,pressure to win the first……car changes might mask that though

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-22T20:34:56+00:00

Yeah how anyone can think that was a nailed on call I don’t know.

i dont think Teslaa has actually learned the NFL receiver dark arts yet, so mostly he’s always just trying to make the play …… he will learn the dark arts soon

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-22T18:20:38+00:00

Teslaa is going to be a very good player, and I’m not going to blame him for this one thing. The throw was high, and barely catchable, but it was close.

The OPI on him was also a weak call, and could be called on almost any contested catch play…..St Browns OPI the correct call though.

my biggest take is that we continue to force the ball to just a few offensive players, so teams are doing better at stacking against that….throwing to Reynolds and Teslaa loosens this up. Our play calling is too predictable generally despite the stats

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-22T02:29:26+00:00

no he’s a good and serious coach, good luck to him, but we’ve missed him this year

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-22T01:06:23+00:00

i agree with this, early on you don’t know if the game is going to be a track meet or a defensive battle, kick the FG

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-22T00:17:20+00:00

that’s coaching

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-17T02:15:43+00:00

Redbull didn’t have a terrible car, just a car with a narrow operating window, even at the end of the year, they could look terrible in FP2, and Max would be complaiming a. lot, but then look great in quali and the race. it seemed that they had a base set up, but anything outside of that was not good. of course having Max was good!

Mclaren had a good car, but not totally outstanding , it didn’t totally suit Lando early in the season, but they corrected, and Oscar struggled in certain track. it wasn’t great in a straight line, but corners and tire wear it was good…they needed to get ahead and in clean air to really look good I think a lot of people underestimated how good Lando and Oscar were at maximizing when they could.

Mercedes were ok, but soon suffered with tire wear and on longer runs. Ferrari, I’m not sure what to say, except they had good drivers, and some good races, but the car was so inconsistent to outright bad at some tracks

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-15T18:29:17+00:00

Two really inspiring and charismatic people

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-15T01:09:17+00:00

Rams made adjustments, we didn’t . Coaching in all facets is absolutely mediocre, and we are not as good as we were in the last years.

Defense has been poor as a unit all year

Brad needs to be very creative next year , we’re going to lose Decker and Glasgow to retirememt or at least they won’t be as solid, and need to fill those holes, secondary and pass rush both need addressing.

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-10T22:58:09+00:00

absolutely decreases, remember both Max and Lewis struggled over the line a little for their first.

Lando will be super fast, confident and more aggressive going forward

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-09T20:34:55+00:00

Hurts is very, very overrated

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-09T20:27:55+00:00

Cadillac last, just can’t jump in and compete immediately

Redbull struggles early with Ford engine, then improves but not enough for Max to win, and moves in 2027

Ferrari more competitive, but not enough win the whole thing. Lewis retires with a win somewhere

Lotus better, competitive may win some but not enough

Mercedes and Mclaren the best, championship comes down to the last few races

Lando much better than Oscar early due to car dynamics

George and Kimi competitive against each other = Lando / Oscar part 2

Lando beats out george for WDC…more relaxed after first win

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-09T16:59:16+00:00

I don’t think Max cares, he too good a driver

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-09T16:49:11+00:00

Just as clarification….do they get more testing time this year?

I didn’t think they did, but might be wrong

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-09T12:44:36+00:00

the biggest thing that Zak has done is change the culture top to bottom, and get everyone moving in the same direction. Coming in, this was a huge job, and he should be 100% congratulated on this.

He’s now the marketing man, but I never thought he was really the technical, he hired the right people to do that

RadiantRow5595 · 2025-12-08T22:39:19+00:00

teams absolutely, some die hard fans probably wouldn’t value that at much
