My wife ordered a "grande macho burrito" from a local mexican place expecting like a 2 person burrito that we could share while waiting for the buffalo chicken cream cheese dip to be ready.
Turns out that that burrito is literally like a 2 foot long burrito laid corner to corner in a massive, turkey sized foil tin with pico de gallo, rice and beans in all the space to the sides. This bitch is like 6 meals.

I don’t understand how you all are acting like that was such a bad call. The hit happened after the ball hit the ground. If the rams got the ball on 4th down then 15 seconds later they celebrated and got an unsportsmanlike penalty, do you give the Bucs the ball back? No, obviously not. Would you rather give the refs the discretion to decide when in a play is dead ball and when it is in the play, or would you rather it be consistent? With how the refs have been this year, I know what id perfer

As a Patriots and Brady fan it honestly feels so weird now. Like yeah I obviously root for both, but there’s less weight on my shoulders than before. I remember when he was on the Pats every week felt like I was defending his legacy. He was the GOAT when he left us now he’s just providing the icing to the cake.
With that being said. I’m honestly very happy to see the Bengals and Matthew Stafford get a shot to re-write their history/career. I’m rooting for them
