Madrid

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
