Ah Madrid... definitely some interesting sites there. My fondest memory would have to be getting grabbed by a hooker who resembled an even less attractive Snookie and having to drag her down the street until she eventually let go.

Stayed at Luis XV at Esquina A Gran Via, thats where the hookers are at if you're interested. Of course one of my friends got wasted and got a hooker and they dragged him into a shady building with the meanest looking guy waiting outside. I waited outside just to make sure he didn't get killed...he didn't, just his wallet cleaned out.

This is one of the biggest night life zones with tons of people out, have fun and just explore this area, there are tons of bars and a TGIF Fridays that has free refills (hey, you start to miss free refills), if you get home sick.

I could go on a rant of the famous architecture sites to see, if you are interested, that's what I "studied"

The ride from the airport was really interesting, mainly for the radio. I remember them playing Bon Jovi and even Sweet Home Alabama, they would start the song and then about 20 secs in they would have a conversation over top of it like nothing was on.

Good time, fun place, extremely hot.

Use common sense. Carry smart enough amounts of euro's, have a fully charged cell and don't be the typical American jackass. Latina's love the gringos who can dance and chat them up.

Very hard NOT to have fun in Madrid.

Go the caves and drink your fill of Sangria

"Whiskeria" is the term for brothel

Go to Benidorm this summer (beach)

A pack of "American" cigarettes will cover most cover charges into any club

The night life really gets hopping around 11pm till 4am - so combat nap in the afternoon.

Three people I know very well have been there.

1. My ex gf: She went around 4 years ago and had a bad trip from the start. She was pick pocketed on the rail system and within 1 hour her credit cards were maxed out and ended up losing around $400 in cash.

She said it was a nice place to visit and see the sights but obviously getting robbed on the first day ruined her trip. She was only there a week.

2. A guy I went to HS with went there and had mixed feelings. He, too, was pickpocketed...but caught the guy in action and grabbed the dude and laid him out. He was able to get his stuff back from the guy. No joke. He said it was a cool place but kinda felt like Americans were targeted there, he also told me if I ever go there to wear a chain wallet and don't wear a bunch of graphic t-shirts like a lot of americans wear b/c thats how you are targeted by thieves. This was like 3 years ago. He was there visiting his sister.

3. One of my homeboys went there to study abroad and loved it. He is real artsy and doesn't get fuged up as much as a lot of my friends. He made some friends that he still talks to. He got to go to like Morrocco and Greece while he was there, and also saw a couple Real madrid games. This was like 3 years ago.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
