Had a great time meeting other Evertonians, catching up with some old friends and getting to meet different people from the Friedken Group in Houston (Dan Friedken owns Everton) at the Premiere League watch party at @pitch25HTX. 2-0 win and we will probably win the league.

@JamesD0101 @iammetx I literally couldn't find anything that she might be talking about. Was she calling her trash because she shook her hands with both hands? I legitimately have no idea what could have upset someone about that.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@heymiker They raised them because food costs went up. It's not like it was inexpensive before but it's just tough to stomach that much on a regular basis. The other spots have the same menu costs but they are still busier

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

Sad to hear that the OG Pappasitos on Richmond near Hillcroft is closing down in September. That spot used to have a wait of 1.5 to 2 hours back in the day. The quality is still there for Tex-mex but their customer base at this spot has continued falling off over the last decade.

@dermadiva1 No

@JaysonBraddock @Cptball He's also 185 and doesn't offer special teams value

@whataburger49 Got it, Josh!

What is the best case scenario for Arvell Reese with the Giants? What's the worst case scenario? I'm glad you asked. I've got the best and worst case scenarios for all first round defenders including their stat projections.

@ball_knower___ @TPPSkol They will rotate. Hard to take up big tackle and sack production as a rotational interior defender

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@paigered3 @Texzyns They lost my business on two different occasions between 2009 and 2019 due to poor service. So, as with any restaurant, it can be about many things. Riel closed after being one of the hottest spots in the city? Was it the neighborhood? Haha

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

I know your reason will be a simple one, but the reality is that food cost spiked after Covid. We have lived in the neighborhood for 24 years and it was busy after then and during Covid when they had Cinco de Mayo, but any of the young friends in the area simply don't go there to eat because it's too expensive now. Or maybe... it's too scary!!!

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@Texzyns @paigered3 It was a general comment based on a lot of the comments that had come my way. There are sometimes easy codes to decipher.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@ball_knower___ @TPPSkol Correct. This is a rookie projection.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@TPPSkol I LOVE the potential..... but there is clearly boom/bust there.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@TPPSkol That is the concern with drafting a player who has missed that much time but has traits and flashed in one-on-one drills at Senior Bowl.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@TPPSkol I was reading up on the situation while preparing for the article and it certainly didn't sound positive.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@HTownFan2025 This is dead-on.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@Texzyns @paigered3 Thanks for the back and forth

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@Zanzuhbar No doubt. In fact, I met a Sitos GM from another city on Friday evening and told him it was sad how dead it has become over the last several years and he told me he thought the only reason it was staying open was because it was the original. And even that couldn't save it.

[Lance Zierlein @LanceZierlein]

@STEVEPMP Hard to defend price-point for sure. They won't back down off of their ingredient standards but that comes with a substantial price hike since covid... especially for proteins.
