i swear 20 years ago this was the actual scenario in every other episode of City Confidential or some other ID show about a florida based physician.

i know she was his wife at the time, but Marlena/Terri Runnels just never fit with that character, a character that was otherwise optimal for him because he was such a boring personality and wrestler otherwise.

at some point it becomes fair to grant those guys intellect and agency and therefore presume it is exactly what they want.

my experiences in London and a few western European countries are that there are fewer options than the US, but more variety. if that makes any sense.

every word of this. pumping the breaks on the IPA craze started over a decade ago for some of us, but the branding - logos/cans and names, sizes (4-packs), and ABV content are all equally as damaging as the industry’s refusal to diversify its offerings.

my goodness Ja’Marr Chase. that was spectacular.

useful for the ‘sports’ setting when you upscale the vividness as well.

everything else - yes i know it is your house and your television, but we are making improvements you monster.

would be absolutely worth it just so Tom Brady could be Belichick’s boss.

there are two Colts injury mishaps before kickoff in the post, and i’m not sure which is the strangest.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson suffered an orbital fracture due to an elastic band malfunction during pregame warmups. He was taken to a local hospital.

didn’t Pete Davidson have to do an apology tour for making a poor, tasteless, and unfunny joke about Dan Crenshaw’s loss of an eye?

YT TV split screen with Harlan calling the GB/Cincy game. the sweet spot.

Sam Darnold has my explicit permission to continue making JS and MM look like geniuses for that qb *trade*
for us Geno fans it was never about animosity for Darnold, but rather not seeing the logic. happy if he continues to prove us wrong.

throw the ball early and play for a two score lead - every Seahawks fan during the 4th quarter.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

glad MM couldn’t get that timeout for trying to play conversion defense with a baker’s dozen.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

13 players out there obviously. can i could see it.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

the timeout to scheme against the formation that is obviously going to change after the timeout has run amok in football.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

which is why Franklin is out of a job.

it will certainly be interesting to find out. i don’t think PSU alums are content taking a backseat to IU given the history of the two programs.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

that’s a 7-5 average regular season record percentage wise, and probably the best support for taking the risk that you can find someone better.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

sure, but i assume PSU is going by body of work and what expectations are. occasional throwaway or disappointing years coupled with a regular inability to win big games - especially against your rivals - fails to meet them. he had over a decade.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

thy were in the playoff field for a national championship, and still a notch below OSU and Oregon. 11 years and a single appearance. i guess that’s success for PSU?

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

5 years ago still had the same feel as every year afterwards - it’s never going to happen for this program with this guy. if an occasional CFP appearance is all you’re after then fine.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

1-10 vs OSU and 3-7 vs UM. you have to take that chance right? they probably should have taken that chance 5 years ago really.

Seahawks game hasn’t even kicked off and it’s already begun with a terrible start as the worst announcer - Chris Paint Dry Myers - is on assignment in jacksonville.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 3d

nor could it ever come close to something like Mr. Show’s take on the monster mash.
