Little League - very few parents - they all had 6 or 8 other children at home, no time to yell at LL Pool? That's a joke right? There were no pools.

@Jolly said in Benching Butker: After watching XFL tapes, the Chiefs have determined the kickers were involved in tackles on approximately a third of the kick-offs. That ramps up the possibility of kicker injury. Since kick-offs don't have to travel as far, they are entertaining the notion of a non-kicker doing the kick. If I remember correctly, they have a safety that was their emergency kicker last year that actually kicked a 35 yard field goal and a couple of kickoffs. Back before the merger, place-kickers and punters were also positional players. I’ve always thought it would be fun to go back to that.

AAPL has doubled since they split 4 for 1 in 2020. Wouldn't be surprised to see another 4 for 1 by the end of this decade.

I don't know anyone who takes the NYT bestseller list seriously, other than folks who are (a) libreral-leaning and (b) don't actually read all that much.

Impressive piping. I didn't know the French blew. Oh, sorry, bleu.

They keep saying there’s no conspiracy to make people eat bugs or lab grown meat, then they pull this shit.

Those folks need a good sauce piquante recipe.

@Mik said in Great account of the hostage rescue: Fauda indeed. I do rather wish they hadn't been quite so detailed about the pre-mission surveillance techniques. I had that same thought reading it.
