I would guess fully 85 to 90% of people you would ask, including me, prefer fall off the bone. The contests are not about what you want to eat. They are geared to see if you can hit a mark. Getting a rib that leave a clean bite mark, but not pull off the bone, is a timing thing. in a 3-6 hour cook (depending on spares or babybacks), getting that clean bite through is a very short period of time and temperature. Judges are just looking to see if you can hit that mark. Then it's all about how much flavor you can put in one bite. Eating a half rack of competition ribs with all the honey, butter, brown sugar, hot sauce, and everything else people put on them would make just about anyone sick. It's really why I quit. I enjoyed competing, and had a lot of success relatively speaking, but I hated what I was cooking and it's freakin expensive just to throw away.

Also like Beef over Pork although I love both if cooked right and have a decent sauce. I am not as much of a sweet sauce lover, prefer savory.

If you know what you're doing with your rub, you don't need sauce.

A very smart contract in my mind. Also props to the agent and Tee.... betting on himself, but acknowledging the injury issues.

Yeah, that is the truth and it is why I said it was strange. Should be about the taste and how edible it is, but that is just me.

As some Mother from back in the day would say... Don't you know there are kids in Africa starving to death!!!

For damn sure. Many rubs are much better than barbecue sauce of any kind. Cannot stand sweet barbecue sauce, never have.

I said the entire offense is not put in game one. They hold some stuff back for big games. I don’t know maybe 20% is gradually filtered through games throughout the year. You said no. But they do. You can’t put everything out there the first couple of games. They had some stuff planned for Burton because there was little film out there on him. He blew that.

every game is a "big game" my friend...and because of poor performance in early games ..the bengals did not make the playoffs...they dont hold stuff back ..other teams have mountains of tape and experience with each other..they know capabilities.......for whatever reasons ..the bengals just have been bad @ the beginning of the last two seasons..you can and you should put everything "out there" in every game in the NFL

The playbook is too big to put everything out there every game, plus they have certain plays that they expect to work against certain teams/schemes(i know you hate that word) and certain plays for other teams. 

Plus, they want plays at the end of the year that other teams haven't seen on tape yet.

Slayton will be better than Rankins, Jenkins and McKinley now have a year under their belt and are a year more mature so they should be better, and I liked the way they were playing at the end of the season. Dax Hill should be back. DJ Turner should be back, Cam Sample should be back. Logan Wilson had the surgery to clean out his knee. McPherson should be back to 100%.  Hubbard was horrible last year playing injured and whoever replaces him will be an upgrade. You, and the entire board as you say, seem to forget how depleted the Defense was last year. We'll get new players in the draft and we have a new DC and new coaches. You can be pessimistic if you want, I choose to be optimistic.

We had a pretty much full roster in the beginning of the year. Dax wasn’t very good before he got injured. Maybe we were a little more healthy but that’s not going to be the difference maker between 9-8 and superbowl.

Most all nfl games are 1 score or less. That stat is so misleading. We sucked. 9-8 isn’t good enough. And we haven’t improved enough. We have the same team.

You mean like the Joe Mixon TD pass in the Super Bowl?
