Jeez sorry misread well I have made plenty steamed crabs and I totally disagree on the old bay comment. Pound them with old bay and a fair amount of rock salt. That’s I’ve done and every place I’ve ever gotten steamed crabs in MD does as well. Zero old bay method is what I got when I lived in VA and thought that old bay is one of the things that made them distinctly MD steamed crabs.
You’re misunderstanding lol. You season tf out of them, but not with old bay, you use JO, and the rock salt you use is key. I said you don’t use old bay because people think you throw old bay and nothing else on crabs, but when you use old bay and rock salt you’re imitating JO which is good enough.

Although JO2 is better than old bay and rock salt lol.
 
Crab cake? I’m talking steamed crabs lol. My ultimate crab experience is steaming them yourself, buying a few 30s, sitting at a picnic table in someone’s backyard with a whole mess of people there, music blasting, tiki torches, and cornhole. That’s the shit right there lol
Yeah, some people complain about picking crabs and say they would rather just have a crab cake. But eating crabs is much more than just eating, it’s a social event. Take time to savor the tasty jimmies, drink some chillys and enjoy the company.

I used to have a 17’ open bow boat, ran a trot line in the Patuxent. Nothing better than fresh out of the water crabs. It was a lot of work but well worth it.

That’s what I tell my wife and her family! They’re from PA and they don’t like crabs and they say the same thing, they prefer crab legs. I always tell them the whole reason they don’t like crabs is because they’ve never had a proper crab feast!

One of these days I’ll make them realize how lame PA is lmao

Pennsyltucky is cool in some ways, but nothing beats life in the Land of Pleasant Living! lol
 
South Carolina beats it, but I don’t live there... yet. Lmao
Not sure if you remember, but you and I once talked about hooking up in Surfside to watch a pre season game at a Ravens bar. I remember you said I’ll be the young dude drinking a lot of beer, or something like that. lol. It ended up though that the bar had closed.
 
Wasn’t sure where to put this but here.

Don’t know if anyone saw this, but I watched the Manchester Derby earlier today and some City fans were throwing stuff at one of the United players and also racially abused him and others. Pretty ugly stuff and another episode of a huge problem all over Europe at soccer matches.

wasnt watching live but did see that this had happened - what's really sad is you can just add it to the long list of similar events that occur in football all around europe and the governing body's response is pathetic at best on a consistent basis

Yeah I still remember that, backfinz, I drove circles around surfside for a half hour raging because I couldn’t find the damn place then I called and discovered it was closed lmao

you forgot the beer. Can't eat crab w/o beer.
 
I was more worried about mobile QB’s before the Houston game.
Allen’s a different mobile. Watson likes to scramble all over and be Superman, Allen will take off running as soon as he senses pressure and run through a goddamn brick wall if need be. It can be good and bad, I think I’d prefer to face the mobility of Watson because our style of defense can be really punished by a strong keeper, but our secondary can hold up while our pass rush has time to reach a scrambling qb.

When our blitz misses and Allen turns it on, it’s gonna hurt. I think we win pretty easily but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Allen run for well over 60 with most of it coming on like 2 runs, he’s gonna break the blitz and there will be nobody to stop him until he’s 25 deep at least once or twice
 
Its crazy to think that our roster is completely different since offseason and the first 3 games because it def wasnt playoff material.. great job by our front office
 
I wonder what the number would be to sign Judon. When you look at what ZDS got and Judon is having a far better year and is a far more complete player and its a year later he is going to crush that contract.
