    I would be less defensive about it if there wasn't so much garbage NBA and men's college ball that regular viewers are subjected to. Shaqtin a fool exists for a reason. I implore anyone to go watch 82 games of a 14 win NBA team then watch that Fever/Sun game from last night. I don't watch nearly that many NBA games these days and I still wind up watching some TERRIBLE games. 

    As Briscoe would say, I just had a pifane about why I'm digging the W so much this season.

    I found a breed called the Appenzeller sennehund that is a little smaller cousin of a Bernese mountain dog. But as a rare breed, they are outrageously priced, though there was a breeder listed in British Columbia. 
     

    Anyway, headed over to couer d’laine next Saturday to collect the new pup. 

    Excellent! If they're anything like their big cousins, you will have a great friend that follows you around like a baby duckling for the next decade plus. Congrats on the addition.

    If you go poking around the internet for dogs available for adoption, don’t be surprised if you can’t resist one.

    I know I'm going to be devastated when my dog passes so I've been thinking about what sort of dog I want next. A mutt I have no problem with, mutts are awesome, but I think i might like to get a dog with papers this time. Aussie Shepherds are fucking gorgeous dogs and I'd love one, but I don't know if I have the energy over now that I'm over the hill to keep running them like I'm supposed to. I've always loved labs, I think they're my favorite breed, but I've had those before. Maybe a golden retriever would be fun to have, I've always wanted one of those.

    Yep that's how I wound up with Trixie. We did a big time remodel and it was always kind of in the back of my head that I would get another dog this summer when the project was done. In the immediate aftermath though I was cash strapped and exhausted, plus we had a 10 day family vacation coming in July. 

     

    To the other point re breed, my last dog was a beautiful Greater Swiss with papers. I kind of wanted to get another Swissy, but now was not the time to drop 3k on a dog.

     

    I've always been intrigued with Anatolians and I made the mistake of looking at Petfinder one night on my phone. I love large breeds, and I saw about 75 miles away there was a litter of rescue Anatolian/mastiff mixes. Sent an email, and 3 weeks later... You know the rest.

    And I come back just in time to see Jaleel Mclaughlin has a TD while Javonte Williams has a fumble.

    Still waiting for my first TD from someone not named Stefon Diggs.

    Oh you would have thrown a brick through your TV. 

    Javonte has turned into basically their 2nd down pass catching back.

    So who you riding with?

    I am definitely playing BT Jr as my WR3. I am definitely playing Akers as my RB2. I think I'm going to pay Worthy as my flex because I have a feeling in my bones. 

    Sidebar. Last year in this league I drafted Jayden Reed for a buck in the late rounds. I watched him in college and had a feeling he could make an impact. I think I got impactful points from him one week, despite him scoring 8 TDs or whatever. You just couldn't start him every week, even as a flex. He would go two weeks with zero touches and then have 2 TDs on 4 touches. This is what I think the Worthy roller coaster is going to be like this year.

    I'm in a 16 team league. I use brian thomas jr there but bills defense is stout and dionte johnson is no bueno. 

    We seem to have taken bad gambles on a lot of the same players. Unfortunately my league is 12 teams. 😭😭

    I need to start 1 RB, 1 WRTE and 1 Flex from the following. PPR and 10 pt RuRe TD.

    Akers @ Minnesota (Mixon is doubtful and Pierce is out)

    Javonte @ TB 

    Brian Thomas Jr @ Buf on MNF

    X Worthy @ Atl on SNF

    I'm leaning towards sitting Javonte but with this format 5 dump offs from Nix or a goal line TD is going to get me 15 points. I think it's between him and Worthy. 

    Well Fantasy Pros is telling me to bench BT Jr and Javonte, start Akers and Worthy, and to play Chuba Hubbard in my flex. 

     

  7. Start a thread on the Food board about Salt Lick, TAMU and It's a Small World and if Phlegm doesn't appear within 30 seconds he sleeps with the fishes. 

    In all seriousness, I think that was the only dude I had on ignore on the old site due to his posting style giving me seizures. Did not ignore him after the migration and he turned out to be a really good dude who gave me some great Disney advice when my kids were younger. I believe he was a tram driver at Epcot. Hope he is still around and doing well.

    The 2 year break didn’t help. You need subtitles to understand Stallone now. 

    Seriously. I'm 10 minutes in and concentrating on the subtitles. He sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles.

    We went on Friday and Monday. It's a casino for children. Still have one in East Lansing apparently.

    The only time I've ever been in Pinball's in EL was to get to the secret entrance of the Riv. I do believe it is still there. Did you ever make it to EL?

    Sounds like good times were had by all. Would love to hear impressions about Detroit from those who stayed downtown. 

    Kind of jonesing to get to to MSU for a game after looking at all of the pictures and reading the threads this past weekend. Sadly it looks like my only chance this year will be on the 28th against OSU and that's a hell to the nope.

    we need to move the playoffs up a couple of weeks, the title keeps being decided by back ups who suddenly play 35 mpg as the regular season winds down.

    Yeah that's a big thumbs up. I was thinking more that there was some chatter about the keeper rules and I'm fine with them. Or changing them. Looking forward to NBA!
