That is a pretty low bar.  I do love their curly fries…and Arbys in general.  I think I live near one of the only Arbys in the area in Alexandria.  Roast beef sandwich is legit.  I realize this is not a popular opinion.

Have you seen this Red Wings team? Hooboy.

Arby's "roast beef" is mostly' round that has been ground then pressed with added gelatin and then formed into a shape
now their Brisket is a lot closer to actual meat from a cow

I'm actually a pretty avid smoker (bbq) and I haven't tried the brisket there…but I do like the roast beef sandwich for a quick bite….again, I'm not proud of this.  Much better than McDonalds IMO…and yes, the redwings are a mess.

The New Chevy Silverado Trail Boss Stalling on Detroit's Hockey Arena Ice Is a Perfect Metaphor

If Detroiters know anything, they know about cars, hockey and disappointment. Their experience in all three came in handy [last week] when a brand-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss stalled on the ice at the Little Caesars Arena, the new home of the Detroit Red Wings.

The Wings are surprisingly not total shit as expected, which is pissing me off since they're still at least somewhat shit but now they're missing out on Jack Hughes because of it.

so you're saying they've found a new and innovative way to disappoint you?

I mean, I don't have children so someone has to pick up the mantle.

don't often read this thread, but that's some comedy gold

As a Federal employee the national day of mourning falls on a good day for the 10pm Caps/Vegas game tonight.

hey smax - got some must-watch TV for ya:

Will Ferrell to Join LA Kings vs. Sharks Broadcast as 'Anchorman's' Ron Burgundy

Stay classy, hockey players. Ron Burgundy will be in the building for Thursday's game between the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.

The Kings announced Will Ferrell's character, Burgundy, will join the Fox Sports West broadcast of the game in Staples Center. 

His appearance will come at the start of the second period

(only downside is that you have to watch the kings…)

Sadly, I won't get this because they're playing the Sharks.  The LA Feed will be blacked out and I'll have to watch the Sharks feed, which is on Comcast and they won't even splice in the Fox feed.  Shame.

bummer.  i suspect it'll show up elsewhere (youtube, twitter, nhl.com, fsn, etc…)

Still trying to wrap my head around this Corey Perry buyout.

I honestly don't know enough about the NHL Salary Cap to full understand it, but seems like a strange move to save $6m in salary cap space this season as it drops to $2m next season.

This kid!
