My pleasure. The ironic thing is that I absolutely adore meatballs. I'm now google image searching for meatballs and it's not quite lunchtime yet.crueltyabc wrote:Exactly why I'm here my dude. Credit to you and the mods for keeping the board generally meatball free
Grape jelly's also a great thing to throw in with cocktail weenies.wab wrote:bbq'd meatballs is one of my all time favorite party snacks. i do mine with BBQ, a little Franks, some sauerkraut, and grape jelly. I know it sounds weird... but dayum.

As far as Pace and getting x # of starters. Remember the team was sad when he took over, so getting new starters was not that hard of a thing to do. Not taking anything away from him, but the team was shit. I think we need to just see how certain peeps produce over the next few years. The jury is still out on Trubs. Robinson has not played a game yet for the Bears. Goldman is a stud when healthy. Amos is starting caliber. Floyd? I believe the jury is still out on him as well. Some of the others are legit, just not spectacular.
But yet, those guys chose the Bears. That has to count for something.On the other hand, how much credit does he deserve for Hicks, Trevathan, and Robinson? Lots of teams wanted those guys...
Pace deserves a lot of credit for signing Hicks, signed him purely based on potential and it's worked out perfectly! He wasn't a big name free agent in any way when he first signed with the Bears.crueltyabc wrote:Otis makes some good points, though I'd add Trevathan to the list of good players and I'm inclined to count Robinson because he's a known good player. On the other hand, how much credit does he deserve for Hicks, Trevathan, and Robinson? Lots of teams wanted those guys... it wasn't a brilliant player eval coup for him. That's why I was talking about "surprise wins". Howard, Jackson, Whitehair, and Cohen represent smart draft picks that maybe another GM doesn't make.
Also don't sleep on asian meatballs. Here's a great recipe you can make at home if you have a Whole Foods or asian grocery nearby that can sell you a little bit of lemongrass, or if you're a Blue Apron member then you should put it your queue.
Had never considered BBQ sauce and grape jelly, but many BBQs are raisin based in their sauce so it makes sense. Even BBQs not raisin based would generally mix those two sweets well. Bravo to you sir for innovating.wab wrote:bbq'd meatballs is one of my all time favorite party snacks. i do mine with BBQ, a little Franks, some sauerkraut, and grape jelly.

I remembered liking him and being upset that the saints let him go, but you're right... two teams let him go for a borderline starter deal. That's a good find considering he's a top tier starter now.

Mine are tortilla chips and almost any kind of dip. I have no self control when it comes to that stuff. I deliberately leave the bag in the pantry and grab handfuls at a time.wab wrote:bbq'd meatballs is one of my all time favorite party snacks. i do mine with BBQ, a little Franks, some sauerkraut, and grape jelly.
