“…General managers are constantly looking to upgrade their parties And every NFL player is always training to boost his skills.” Rich and rife territory for interpretation from defensive and offensive play styles to things like bleeding the clock. Fun to think of the gaming/rpg equivalents.

This thought in particular “…there are quite a few parallels between gridiron and a traditional role-playing game. Teams take turn attacking and defending, each trying to do as much damage—or score as many points—as possible...”

Also reminds me of this kotaku article from years ago kotaku.com/football-is-...
Football Is Basically An RPG - Kotaku
I watch a lot of football. I play a lot of RPGs. And I've always had this theory that they're not all that different. So I went to an NFL player—probably

Goblins/Orcs/Trolls/Ogres all seem appropriate to football (fantasy x football in general is kinda fun!)

So I’m not starting from zero but there’s definitely a lot of technical aspects that I’ve always wanted to delve deeper into but haven’t really. So reaching out to bluesky hivemind for any recommendations. Will also see what google/amazon suggest.

Yeah and the play before that, the taunting penalty in the NFCCG, and those two plays in the first 9ers game. But good corners especially ones with his physical traits do not grow on trees. I think he can continue to improve if the Hawks keep him. I can see the cons but I see more upside than down.

There are three legs of media distrust

1) News outlets are owned by plutocrats

2) plutocracy has no interest in a well informed electorate

3) a media class more interested in affluence and access than journalistic integrity

Finally got around to getting to listen to the whole episode! Loved hearing your conversations with both Mina and Danny! Some of my favorite post superbowl discussions i’ve listened to. Also hearing you and Danny chatting gives me a hit of Fieldgulls nostalgia for a time past! Cheers! Go Hawks!

Hoping that we’re able to keep as much of this coaching staff as possible 🤞
