Good.

Why do you want the Saints to win? Looks better for us if the Rams go to the SB. Plus, a Rams/Chiefs SB would be much more fun to watch, IMO.

I like the Saints. I dont care about how it looks. We are a joke anyways. Might as well pull for Brees to get another shot at a ring.

Just got in front of the TV. have the Rams been running that pre-snap jet sweep motion as they did against the Cowboys?

I see that CJ Anderson has zero rushes.

Aside from the TD pass that Brees just thrrew the Saints red zone play calling and execution has been bad. We'd be losing our minds if that were Dak and the Cowboys.

Damn straight.

Fuck the Rams.

And the last thing I want is Jerry Jones thinking of validation for losing to them last week just because they make the Super Bowl.

Iamtdg or anyone that works on cars, for that matter.

I just replaced my car battery. This new car battery has a physically smaller footprint and there's about 3/4" inch gap inside the housing, Battery won't tip over, but I'm worried about the battery vibrating and teetering like an uneven stool or sliding around.

Okay to leave it like this? Or what can I use to shim (non-flammable) in between?

The radio was mentioning that Goff's helmet radio communication-to-McVay was fucked up on their first offensive drive, maybe even for their second.

Did Buck/Aikman mention this?

That's actually a good point, but I have some friends on FB that are obnoxious Saints fans, so fuck the Saints.

Or just use a bungee strap to strap it down.

Might be a pain in the ass the secure down the bungee strap ends. How about wrapping the bungee cord around the horizontal bar (that goes across the battery top) a couple times to fill that gap?

This "...little bit of country" Chevy truck commercial...cool idea, but bad execution. Ends up being corny dramatic like Con Air.

If it has the bar across it, you should be fine. As long as the bar is at the same height as the battery top.

That's the problem. The bar across is about 3/4" above the battery top, so I can lift up the battery 3/4" before it hits the bar...and the battery can slide back-forth, left-right <1" as well.

Looking to fill that gap somehow.

I wonder if some of the teams that hired them a McVay clone are like, son of a...

I thought you meant the 3/4" was on the sides of the battery. Shims will just vibrate out. Might try putting two 1X4 boards cut to length under the battery to raise it up.

 

[data]

I might just get a 3/4" thick block or 3/4" diameter dowel and shove it in between. Wood should be safe, right? Or should I use steel?

I mean, the battery's surrounded by plastic housing, so a fire would ruin everything anything. Wood has a higher burning point/melting point than plastic.

Props.

I forgot the Rams franchise (while in LA) have never won a Super Bowl.

It won't hurt anything to use wood, and 1X4's are exactly 3/4" thick, so it should work perfectly.

I tap my wife's ass to signal a silent play as well.
