Shades of Deivi Cruz

The playoff format definitely needs a little tweaking. Even if you wanted to continue giving conference champs a bye, you could re-seed after the first round games, so you don't have a Boise or ASU as 3/4. Also, it seemed very odd to me that the teams that earned byes then missed out on having a home playoff game. Not exactly sure how you fix that part, but an oddity nonetheless. I attended the championship game with my son (who is an OSU student). The crowd, the venue, the game, it was all great. Besides being really cold (in the low 20s and windy), my only complaint is that a lot of the area bars/restaurants were closed for private events. I can't imagine how much it had to cost for places like that to close and miss out on all those customers. It made the places that were open really crowded, especially since no one was tailgating outside due to the weather. The game was so great though. We definitely got a bit nervous when it was just a one score game and it looked like we would have to punt it back to ND with ample time on the clock. Then this happens!

I am greatly enjoying Bad Monkey on AppleTV. If you don't care for Vince Vaughn though, you should skip it. It is very much a vehicle for Vince to be at maximum Vince Vaughn. Only one season right now, but it has been renewed for a second.

If you enjoy two person rock bands like I do (think White Stripes, Black Keys, Royal Blood), check out the band Roxferry.

I think downtown Columbus (Short North) is quite nice, but I will agree that it doesn't have much "personality". It could be almost any city in any state. German Village is probably the most distinct area/neighborhood, but it's also not very big. I'm not sure how Cleveland is really any better than Columbus, but it's also been awhile since I've spent any real time in the Cleveland area.

Bregman's OPS has been in a steady decline since 2019. He's certainly better than what we have, but I have concerns...

I have Buckeye cable for internet (but use Hulu LiveTV for TV), but AT&T fiber just recently became available. One of the reps stopped by a few weeks ago, but I shooed him away saying that we really don't have any problems. It seems like ever since then my internet connection gets wonky when trying to watch TV. I pay over $100 a month for the cable internet, so the price would be about the same. Seems like I'm hearing that switching to fiber might be the way to go.

It doesn't even matter. At the end of the day, she lost because a large percentage of the population prefers a weak, thin-skinned, narcissist with anger issues.

Yup. Pour all our resources into finishing the wall. Put tariffs on everything.

Do it. Do it all. That's what we decided we wanted.

I happened to drive past the Lucas County early voting location at 1:00 yesterday afternoon, and the line of cars trying to turn in there was enormous.

That commercial is both hilarious and heinous.

No, he has CONCEPTS of a plan.

I live on a cul-de-sac, so we get together with the neighbors and all setup in one driveway in the front of the cul-de-sac. When the kids come up, we tell them to take one from each bowl (there's seven or eight bowls). We are all eating, drinking and talking, and so not paying much attention. It was rainy anyway, so there weren't a lot of kids. Anyway, this one kid came back to the table AT LEAST seven times. Always with the same "Trick or treat" and look on his face, like he was there for the first time. It was quite funny. He was probably nine or ten. He had (I assume) his brother with him the first few times, but by the end it was just him. I swear the last couple of times he didn't get more than a house away before he turned around and came back. 🤣

One day later than was promised, but yay! I've actually never seen it, but love I Think You Should Leave. I've watched two episodes of Detroiters already, and I can tell that it's going to work for me.

They already had that stupid FanDual parlay for every game, which seemed like never won. If anyone was actually betting those, they need to have their head examined.

He's pretty much down to Ted Nugent and Kid Rock as being available to him to play.

With non-power hitters that strikeout too much?

Just Costas

Now there is literally no downside to winning tomorrow.

Don't worry. Playing the Yankees will give us all the prime time and Bob Costas you can handle.

Looks like 8:00 AM cider is on the menu.

Bligh Madris is not a name I expected (or wanted) to hear again this season, especially since it would mean no Carp for the Yankees series.

It would be quite possible that I would watch zero minutes of that. That is by far my least desirable matchup.

Yup

That's what I thought too
