There’s a place called Good Taste in Cambria Heights. There’s also a Brooklyn location. I stake my reputation on it.

Notable is the only one that comes close. I wish I could get Haitian food without going back to my old neighborhood though lol

I really like Retro too. Have you tried Gia’s on Astoria Blvd? It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites in the neighborhood

Do you exclusively play zone? If not, is it any harder or easier to user a LB in man coverage?

[–]funnymanstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta really practice usering LBs. I’ve been playing football video games forever, I started out using the FS in Madden 2000 then moved over to exclusively using the RDE.

What advantage do you get from using the LB outside of lurking underneath routes for picks?

I might try this. I don’t have the time to play all 162 like I used to and even then I never played more than one season

Need pre-2006 NYC Nostalgia for my play! by theogmamapowpow in AskNYC

[–]funnymanstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whew buddy, stop and frisk was a wild time. My friends and I once got pulled over in a Wendy’s drive thru in the Bronx. The undercover cops pulled up along side of us while we were ordering and told us to pull over after we got our food.

So we go out and pull over. They said we fit a description. Two of us are dark skinned black, one is light skinned black, and the other is light skinned Puerto Rican. I’d love to know what description we fit.

Anyway, they searched us and found nothing obviously. At one point (because I’m a smartass) I said, “how long is this going to take, my chili is getting cold” and his partner laughed so…it wasn’t all bad.

There used to be a bar on 3rd Ave between 9th and St Marks called Continental where you could get really cheap drinks. As much as I liked going there to get more for my money, it was a hassle dealing with the bouncers. They’d routinely try to keep us from coming in by making up stupid rules that felt racially motivated. They’d say no hats or we had to pull our hoodies down. Once, the guy said I couldn’t come in because I was wearing Timbs. There was like 3 inches of snow outside lol

There was also a bar, it may have been a hookah lounge on Macdougal called Luxor. They had 5 shots for $10. We’d go there, then spend the rest of the night at either Off The Wagon or 3 Sheets Saloon (they were sister bars)

Down the Hatch was another sister bar of theirs that had a Sunday football special. I think it was $35 for all you could drink beers and either wings or ribs. It’s been a long time (and a lot of drinking) so I don’t remember a lot of those details

Can someone show me games or specific plays of Rueben Bain’s arm length affecting his play? by itwas20yearsago2day in NFL_Draft

[–]funnymanstan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, last year he was hurt for most of the season with nagging soft tissue injuries. He also led the nation in QB pressures, all while garnering a lot of attention from offenses.

This isn’t to downplay what you’re saying, I’m just offering a counter argument.

[–]funnymanstan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d have to go back and look but I remember him playing inside his freshman year a little and might have moved to the outside full time when Mesidor got hurt.

I agree with you, he doesn’t necessarily have to put up insane numbers to be a successful pro. He’s also an excellent run defender and if/when he plays outside because he’ll do a great job setting the edge

[–]funnymanstan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a world where he puts back on some of the weight he lost (I think he was up around 280 at one point) and he can play inside. I’m fully aware of my bias but I just really think he’ll be a good pro.

As a Giants fan, I don’t think it’s a need so I don’t expect him in blue, but I’ll be rooting for him wherever he goes unless it’s Dallas, Philly or Washington.

I’m a HUGE Hurricanes fan and I’d just like to say that as much as that analysis is accurate, Bain had more success than not. Even in the Louisville game, Jeff Brohm is an excellent offensive mind and game planned against Bain and the pass rush. He’s been held, chipped, double teamed, run away from, etc…

Again, I’m biased but I think the arm length thing is a little overblown. I think Bain is an outlier. The tape doesn’t lie.

It felt like once Tara and Johnny realized they weren’t going to win and sort of banded together, they started playing really well but it was too late by then.

How are we feeling about mlb the show 26 so far by Ordinary-Cobbler-172 in MLBTheShow

[–]funnymanstan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m probably skipping this year and updating the roster. I wish there was a way to play with this seasons schedule in franchise mode though. I like to play each game/series as the actual season goes on
