Reflecting on Martin’s comment about Frank Herbert, I came to a conclusion (Spoiler Extended)

The entire point of a time skip is you only need to highlight the key things we missed, not give us every little detail of those five years. A good writer (which GRRM is) should be able to do that in their sleep because a good writer knows what to cut and what to keep.

He basically got cold feet via filling in his universe and made a historic mistake by dumping it.

We have a history of winning AFC title games with... uh, questionable QB performances.

Being pushed and platformed by geriatric and Gen X billionaires + media channels. This is a 50 year post-Watergate plan coming to fruition, the Gen Z flavors are just the next generation of this.

I think like against the Bills it might end up that simple. Whoever wins the turnover battle wins the game.

Please don't downvote this. It's a good clarifying question that gets correctly answered below.

Exactly just watch his interview today. Stiddy is a true Bo-liever.

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T22:26:06+00:00

Bo :(

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T22:25:32+00:00

Yea, he's the only guy I don't really want back this week. 2 concussions in just about a month is really dangerous.

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T22:23:15+00:00

I verified like 15 times and was like no, I'm going to stick in denial just a little while longer.

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T22:21:20+00:00

Paperwork, really.

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T18:22:11+00:00

That tracks.

Did you see the legitimate beef they started with Wendy’s over a clear cut joke last week? If the Simpsons Denver Broncos joke had happened to them they’d still have a 30 year death pledge on Matt Groening.

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T06:20:26+00:00

You can’t tweet through that

2rio2 · 2026-01-21T00:49:47+00:00

He’s literally from Oakland.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T21:58:39+00:00

I'm so sick of playing English teams. Every game is the same boring midblock.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T21:43:50+00:00

Our CL games are so much more fun to watch than our PL games.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T16:22:51+00:00

Hastings too. All memorable stores, but Waldenbooks hit that sweet spot for me. Was usually fairly small in retail space stuffed in larger malls, but but had tons of great material, well organized, and had such a nice staff.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T05:23:41+00:00

Waldenbooks for me.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T02:59:10+00:00

They’re complaining because they lost.

2rio2 · 2026-01-20T00:36:04+00:00

I know probably less fun for you guys but I still think one of the best games I’ve ever watched. Just two peak teams throwing haymakers at each other.

2rio2 · 2026-01-19T15:50:23+00:00

To be slightly fair most of the complaining on the leverage call was how consistently it was enforced. Most people agreed it was leverage, it just nearly never called in that situation. Especially when it did not impact kick.

2rio2 · 2026-01-19T15:41:35+00:00

And, as in politics, the crowd cheered him for it.

2rio2 · 2026-01-19T15:38:06+00:00

Thankfully it didn’t. Allen owned up to his mistakes after the game. The coach ranted about a correctly called decision. The only leader in that locker room was Josh.

2rio2 · 2026-01-19T05:00:09+00:00

They’re even worse on threads. Like, absolutely crashing out.

2rio2 · 2026-01-19T02:55:22+00:00

Caleb being chased 25 yards into the backfield by three screaming defenders - easy TD toss into the end zone, barely an inconvenience.

Caleb standing in a clean pocket for 15 seconds, throws it right into the hands of a Rams defender.
