I like Hunt, but the odds of him being here past this season seem remarkably slim.

If Watson does end up suspended the entire year, realistically this season is not going to end in a deep playoff run. So I really have no issue unloading Kareem if that's how it plays out.

Sort of like the ad world version of Billy Squirt's "Rock Me Tonight" video.

1. Don’t know if “Billy Squirt” was an intentional mistake, but it fits, given that one of his biggest hit songs was “The Stroke”

2. You know how you’ll have gaps in cultural knowledge? I’ve had that moment today with the Rax ads. Had barely heard of Rax back in the day and had never seen/heard those ads until today. So thanks, @Sebastian , for bringing that into my life.

How did I not know about Mr. Delicious before today??

Because it defies all logic and good sense!

That said, I feel like if that character today was introduced it would be a huge hit as it fits very much Millennial and Zoomer humor.

This is a guy talking about eating roast beef sandwiches while going-on about how much he hates his ex-wives, and telling us about his co-worker's sex tourism visit to Bora-Bora, possibly with sex-trafficked minors!

"You Can Eat Here" is the ultimate droll motto.

Ha, too funny. I just watched a YouTube video about that company’s downfall and how they just kept trying to serve everything only to be able to have no specialty items. It’s also hilarious how bad their marketing was.

From the start they were run by idiots.

The franchise was Jax (as in Jack's) Roast Beef. Which is a perfectly germane name.

But instead the went with a name that sounds like a tertiary Star Wars character and proceeded to make every mistake in the book in terms of marketing and brand building.

They thought, at times anyway in-between creating various ____ bars, that their core demographic was humorless middle-aged adults without kids. Why they thought those people would frequent a fast food place is both heartbreaking and sociopathic.

However, despite that they once had a large number of locations.

Wikipedia says:

At its peak in the 1980s, the Rax chain had grown to 504 locations in 38 states along with an unknown number of restaurants in Guatemala.

I have to say that the above sentence is perhaps the greatest known in the English language. Few sentences in history have conveyed such mystery, beggar disbelief and simply make zero sense all in 25 words or less.
  • How the fuck did they get to 504 locations in 38 states? How?
  • How or why Guatemala?
  • Unknown? Was there a rash of rogue Rax stores in Guatemala?
  • Is it possible, that in some deep recess of the darkest corner of Guatemala that Rax still lives?

So, I've never heard of Rax until this conversation today. After reading this I'm like okay, I have to see this. Is this another Mandela effect where some people don't remember it? Obviously, with them being that big and never having heard of them, Ohio wasn't one of those 38 states. Let's look them up to see what states they were in.

The FIRST FUCKING LINE:

"Rax was originally known as JAX Roast Beef, founded by Jack Roschman in 1967, in Springfield, Ohio"

What... the... fuck. My mind is blown.

They have a sandwich actually called... The BBC (Beef, Bacon, and Cheese).

What's more, they have trademarked the name.

(Cannot confirm that it's on a pumpernickel baguette.)
