Oh man, such a contrast between watching the machinations of my two great loves. Donks WOO!!! draft following is just plain, relaxing fun. I know they won’t, say, trade up and draft Noted Local Moe-ron Sam Howell. Because we gots Russell Wilson. I don’t have to sweat making reach picks, because we gots Russell Wilson. Yeah, the supporting cast is well important, but we are at least out of the FITBAW desert. And I will gladly take that.
Don’t know what ya got, til it’s gone, yada yada.
Speaking of that, I would gladly give either (ok, probably both) nut for Everton to be having a boring, mid-Table season. We need a run of form out of the (bitter) blue, starting with Chelski at home tomorrow (9:00, USA). Hey, at least we get those smug pricks (with apologies to rockingdog, always a good sport) on Glorious May Day. Will Uncle Joe bring the Toffees great fortune? Fuck it, I’mma try at least. Forward, comrades!
But even three points tomorrow wouldn’t make me the least bit comfortable. Not unless Leeds and/or (much preferred “and”) Team White Lives Matter cock it up. WLM get stinking Waford this morning (10:00, USA), while Leeds at least have to deal with City of Men (12:30, NBC). That spotlight dance treatment, at home…makes me super anxious. Timeline gets especially dark if the Shite go in front for the Title. They play the Bastard Man Derby, away to the Bonesaws (7:30, USA), in a game I wouldn’t watch under pain of catapault. Up late for the Draft will hopefully benefit me there.
Rum Ham/King’s Afrikan Water Pistols could also be interesting tomorrow (11:30, USA). Monday Night Footy (Bees/Men Untied, 3p Mon, USA) is a fixture only a mother(fucker) could love.
What do you think of your team’s picks so far? Rounds 4-7 resume at High Noon (ESPN, NFLN, other??), so caffeine up.
Big picture (and Donks) Draft wrapup later tonight. Let’s do this thing, eh?
Did a (almost) 10k jog this morning. Can’t type anymore-knees are on fire.
And then there’s this… inviting… router
Today’s adventure was trying to get FiOS installed based on the previous owners telling us they have fiber and then learning from installer #2 on day #2 that we do not have fiber and would have to tear some shit up to run cables in the house. So back to fucking Xfinity.
Any advice on routers/modems? Can I use any mesh network with any modem/router to extend my signal? I’m an idiot on the things so feel free to talk down to me (as long as you’re also being helpful).
If you’ve got multiple devices, ie routers and extenders, only advice I have is to stick to the same brand to make it easy. Asus seems decent. The more it looks like a cyberpunk spider demon the better aka the more exposed antennas the better its range and coverage.
Me? I’m still rocking a token ring ethernet LAN configuration while waiting to hear back from The Internet King about upgrading to a T1 line.
I would like to learn your language-is it available on Rosetta Stone?
Kiper obviously swung and missed on this Bo Melton guy-he’s been Mel’s #1 ‘best available player’ for about 2 1/2 hours now.
“Huh, this Kel Myper guy is rated pretty high by the experts, he’s a little old, but we could give him a try, why not, its the 7th round”
And that’s the story about how Mel Kiper got a sweet league minimum contract for a year.
Andy Reid talking about food. Shocking![not shocking]

What happened to the white horse, WCS? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WHITE HORSE!?!?
The Dolphins spared me the spectacle of watching them screw up the draft by just trading away all their picks.
why are the rocks on fire?
Watching the Penn Relays and Ohio State failed to come from behind against Penn State in the women’s 4×800 relay.
An exercise in futility if you ask me: everyone knows Penn State does the coming from behind
Giants are the only team to lose 10 or more games in the last 5 seasons. Nowhere to go but up, Baby!
/they could go sideways though
Viva Ron Mexico!
Three kickers/punters selcted in Round Four. And still no Sam Howell what a shame smgdh
Seems like shitty scheduling to have a Saturday during the NBA playoffs with no games on.
Baseball it is.
I was not prepared for how badly Essendon was going to suck this year.
I wasn’t prepared to see Free-O in second place seven games in. We beat Geelong yesterday!
What?
I need to stop tipping them
Pitt CB? HIPPO GRADE: B-
Cornpone State DT? HIPPO GRADE: B-
Napoli hangs 6 goals on Sassuolo today, Marika is pleased.

This is an older one, but it’s an incredible shot; taking out a helicopter with what’s supposed to be an anti-tank missile. I hope the STUGNA-P operator yelled “Kobe!” as he took it.*

The thing about DJ 3000 is that he doesn’t need sleep.

THIS BIRD THAT JUST CRASHED INTO MY PATIO DOOR I CALL HIM CAM NEWTON CAUSE IT SURE LOOKED TO THE NAKED EYE LIKE HE SUFFERED A SEVERE CONCUSSION BUT NO PENALTY WAS ASSESSED AND HE WAS BACK ON THE FIELD IN NO TIME.
(the penalty would have been me opening the patio door so the cat could get to him)
Even money right now on the home team moving down to the C Series next year, so I find consolation where I can.
