As a devoted but casual CFB fan (the contradiction meaning I follow my team closely but not to the point of arguing on message boards or paying for scouting/signing stuff), I’ve learned that fanatical CFB folks are goddamn crazy.

Their athletics teams are named after a euphemism for a wild hog.

Holy shit; a pocket of your state has amenities that are common (if not basic) in other places, thanks to a famously abusive retailer?

I never expected nor knew how racist Buffalo is in general until I’d visited a few times for business. The amount of racist asides is either overheard or was told directly was pretty jarring.

In fact, if you do a deep dive on Wilson’s upbringing and his father (a Dartmouth alumnus who also played for the Chargers), he basically coached Wilson on how to be, um, palatable, to McDermott types... knowing full well about the double standard.

Also baffling how Tyrod failed to develop Marshawn into the rusher he became in Seattle.

This is a better analysis than most sportswriters who get paid for analysis could offer.

Live by Blair Walsh; die by Blair Walsh.

Yeah, seeing the headline and the challenge flag, I thought this would be (rightfully) about the challenge.

“He’s lucky the Seahawks owner didn’t fire him on the spot.”

Couldn’t have said it better. I’d almost turned my back to action thrillers thinking they were just lazy, dumb, Michael Bay-type vehicles to subsidize studios/producers for Oscar fare with their profits.

The entire thrust of the piece was that John Wick connects on an emotional, stylistic, effort-driven level that’s a fusion of inspiration and execution.

Ditto. Yes, yes, and yes.

Keanu thew himself at this role, even impressing the gun range staff used to seeing the most decorated three gun shooter in the world (and who owns the range) practice daily.

Yeah, the Tap led me to go all-in on Dots once I learned I could configure them with a) my living room audio setup, b) Spotify, and c) TP-Link smart bulbs which don’t require a hub. (Though now I’ve bought so many in each room, an initial outlay for a Phillips Hue hub would’ve been cheaper). Nonetheless, pretty dope…

No one apparently appreciates the Amazon Tap (based on sales figures), but I bought one as a way to dip my toes into the Alexa ecosystem and it convinced me to go all-in.

There’s that VW commercial that’s totally wrecking my fondness for “The Wonder Years’” theme.

Hey fellow Kinja-ers,

Hey fellow Kinja-ers,

I use almond milk in post-workout protein shakes. Not only does it avoid all the side effects of drinking milk (even if you’re not lactose intolerant, milk is just... heavy), almond milk is generally fortified with even more calcium than milk-milk.

Ah yes, 100g of sesame or chia seeds. A typical American breakfast.
