Changing of the Guard - The Times We live in
-
I like it better than my former favorite, Zaya. Zaya has fallen a bit since it was purchased and moved. It is hard for me to compare what my initial taste of Zaya was to Diplomatico today. However, I think even at it's best, I would have put Zaya second to the Diplomatico. Have you tried the more refined Diplomatico? It is about 70 bucks. I think my next bottle will be that.
There are actually a couple or 3 that are higher level. The highest (Ambassador) will put you back about $250. I can get that here, but I'd rather not put that much into a single bottle when I could get 7 Riservas for that kind of money. The other you may be looking at is the Single Vintage (I don't have it here). Or possibly one of the two Batch Collections running around $80. I can't get those here either. Which one are you looking at?
Anyway I'm glad you like the Reserva Exclusiva. Just all I could ask in a sipping rum. This Xmas I am going to try another one from Venezuela, Santa Teresa 1796. I'll taste it side by side with the Diplomatico like I have done with others that were just not quite as good to my taste.

Cathy and I are going to Cuba over Christmas. My former agent has lined me up a gig playing a few songs on the guitarra with a band at a bar called El Mosserita or some such thing. I know CUba is famous for Rum, so perhaps after I load up on cigars I will be ready for rums. SHoudl be fun.

Never had any from Cuba, but this came up via Google. Both from 2017.

No bud, you were not right. Before the AFC championship game in 2017 (the 2016 season), you said that Brady was done, would never win another playoff game. You didn't say he may win a game if he gets lucky, etc. You said NEVER WIN ANOTHER PLAYOFF GAME. He proceeds to win that game. He then goes for another Super Bowl. But hey, let's give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you meant after that season.
2017 season (thus 2018 playoffs), Brady wins the MVP. He then goes on to win 2 more playoff games, and put up the a PLAYOFF record in yards in a 8 point loss in the Super Bowl. He also put up the most points in a loss in Super Bowl history. The defense lost the SB for New England, not Brady.
Could Brady be done, its possible. I wouldn't bet on it. Even if he is, not even close to in the parameters that YOU SET.
As for all the other things you have said, from DAY ONE you have had horrible things to say about Dorsey. Now that the Browns have shown a little success you are proclaiming you said otherwise, NOPE.
At least I have figured out why the OL are the source of your venom a lot. They are the ONLY ones you could remotely compare yourself to. And you still can't come close to measuring up.
And since you managed to get yourself put in timeout you didn't get the opportunity to respond to a few things.
You complain and make fun about these guys going to the owner about you. So you say you want to buy the board. A fan board for a team you claim to not care about. And if you purchased it, you would permanently ban them because you dont like what they say. POT MEET KETTLE.
You also have went on and on about how you are always right and that the Browns FO is SO STUPID for not taking the top playmakers. So I compiled those for you, the TOP PLAYMAKERS TAKEN AT THE TIME OF THE BROWNS PICK. Notice that these were not taken by the Browns except on 1 occasion, so either taken with Browns traded pick, or next playmaker.
2009- Percy Harvin
2010- CJ Spiller
2011- Julio Jones
2012- Trent Richardson
2013- Tavon Austin
2014- Sammy Watkins
2015- Devante Parker
2016- Paxton Lynch ( I gave you the guy you said the Browns should take at 2)
2017- Mitch Trubisky
You cant use the argument that they weren't the right guys, as that has not been your argument. Your argument has been that they didn't take the top playmakers available when they drafted. Those are without a question the top playmakers taken at the time.
And had the Browns listened to you at the past draft, there would be no stud Ward on the team. As you said the Browns should take Barkley and Ridley, and trade the future to get their QB. Of course you mentioned Lamar Jackson, then Baker Mayfield, then Rosen.
Keep lying to yourself pal, but do you really have to subject us to your self lies to make yourself feel better? Over something you don't care about.
Again, I was absolutely right. I appreciate your reading me, and being a fan of mine. I also thank you for re-affirming that I was the first one to tell you that Brady was done, and he is. That his decay took a few weeks longer doesn't detract from my amazing insight.
Regarding draft picks, he we followed my picks, we would have Petersen, Big Ben, Julio Jones, and more. You are what my Father would call...a jackoff, in fact, you are a jackoff. You can't just go back to 2009...Had the Browns followed my prescription since 1999 they would have had a SB win by now. Drafting Big Ben would mean Lynch and Trubisky would not have been an issue....AND............................ we would not have needed Baker.................... We would have Ben................ and a lot of BETTER draft picks..............
ALSO................. My suggested QB have included Big Ben, Wentz/Goff, Phillip Rivers............... ALL THOSE PICKS performed better than 100% of the Bronws QB picks from 1999. If I was the Browns GM, the QB hunt would have been over long, long, long ago...................... AND...................we would have won 1 or 2 superbowls.
I would not say I am God-like. BUT.............. I am more accurate than any living expert or personnel executive in the NFL. Of course I have missed a few...... but I have been more accurate than all the posters here, and all the experts. Bow vermin, Bow to your Master........... Kiss my ring............... I am king.

Anyone who would write off Tom Brady at this point is what my dad would call.....the king of fuhucking idiots.
If the Pats have issues, it is with the defense, not with Brady.

I have seen some of these. I think I will defer to the experts since I can't possibly drink all of this stuff. We are taking a 6 hour convertible tour of the Island. It is mandatory now that a Cuba visit includes a cultural lesson, so we booked a driver, translator on vintage convertible Thunderbird. $199 bucks, lol. We have to get Canadian money before going there. Lot's of goofy rules. I may wind up in a Cuban Jail.....oh wait,,,, our cruise packgae includes the option of the Cruise line getting you out of jail if you go there. How nuts is that?

Nope Gip, you're forgetting the Patsies have issues at WR too. The reason they took a flyer on Josh Gordon. Brady is only 25th in passing yards, and 27th in yards per game. His QBR is still a respectable 93 though.
The demise of New England (and Brady) has long been anticipated, this just might be the year. Stay tuned. If the Dolphins beat them in Foxborough this Sunday, the vultures will start circling.

I don't think Brady has "demised" any. New England's defense has perhaps....and yes, they are having trouble getting decent receivers. Brandon Cooks, Amendola, Edelman, are gone from last year. But Edelman is due back after one more game....and Gordon will likely join them soon. If he does not completely blow it, he and Brady could be a lethal combination.
Its not that I don't wish that Brady and NE would be falling into the abyss. I do....and I think it will come eventually....just not necessarily right now.
Insert the old Mark Twain line: Reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

No, this one makes a couple stops along the way, Somewhere in the Bahamas, I also think we make a run to that Atlantis place, then a 24 hour stop in Cuba. We will have a 6-hour car tour with the guides, and then they will drop us off wherever we want. I will probably hire them out for another 6 hours and have a chauffeur for a lot of the place. Cathy is the planner, I am the lobotomy patient that she points and I go. I was a Grinch about our Alaska cruise but man, I had the time of my life.

I imagine it will be. I finally gave in to my wife and took the first cruise, now I am hooked. The cruise experience is great. You can truly just veg-out and have everything taken care of for you.
Have you seen any of the Cruise ship "boarding fail" videos where people are running like hell to catch the ship....literally missing departure from a port? What the hell? Who is stupid enough to let that happen?
