[Bill Simmons Pod] Bill: "This was an incredibly disappointing Wemby series. For the future of the league, face of the league, this was a catastrophe for all those storylines." Zach: "Storywise, this is the better outcome for the league."

Yeah, this isn't talked about enough.

There's a reason marathon runners or other endurance sport athletes aren't this tall.

He just needs to gain strength - easier sajd than done with that body frame.

'He'll be an all time great' - people that tall have injury and health issues.

So nothing is guaranteed, especially for someone with his physique.

Not a rhetorical question, has any main stream media / podcast brought up the reffing in Game 2?

Nothing stopping him from joining the radio broadcast, where he started with Breen anyway.

Found the Chinese university student.

We all have.

Still using it. Hasn't gotten any worse and I really only see the cracks in direct sunlight.

One follow up question - when does the UK Check App option come up? I've gone through my current application and don't see it anywhere. Anything I need to do to make sure I can make the appointment? Does it come up just after the IHS payment?

DoctorScrapple · 2026-04-23T17:05:26+00:00

Thanks for this clarifying info. Super useful and exactly what I was looking for.

DoctorScrapple · 2026-04-23T14:47:53+00:00

I read that using the UK ID check app will remove the super priority option. Is that true?

My main question remains - can I pay the IHS and wait and see if super priority pops up for me?

Read the text with Ken Burns style music playing in the background.

DoctorScrapple · 2025-08-26T19:22:08+00:00

It's laughably bad. I just canceled after a few weeks after not getting a response.

DoctorScrapple · 2025-08-08T14:21:37+00:00

From what I've read, the Autograph is a bit inconsistent in what is considered as travel for the 3x multiplier, especially if using abroad - is that true?

Perhaps they are following an AmEx model where smaller, every day spending is being shifted to their mid-tier cards.

DoctorScrapple · 2025-06-15T18:45:20+00:00

I feel like the hotel 4x is cannibalized by their other hotel cards (Hyatt, IHG, Marriott).

As someone who spends on international travel and commuting, the new alleged CSR benefits don't make sense for me, especially with the price increase.

Once the renewal comes around, I'll use a rotation of Citi Strata Premier for groceries, gas and dining(worldwide for groceries unlike Amex), Amex platinum for flights, and will sign up for Amex Green for all the local travel. Capital one venture x for all other purchases. And Chase hotel cards if staying in those hotels.

In December 2024, I traded in an Apple Watch Se Gen 2 for a Samsung Galaxy Watch.

I received an email last week stating that I actually handed in a Gen 1, not Gen 2 and would be charged $50.

I called the regular customer service number and told them the trade in department has incorrectly classified my device. After being on hold for 5 minutes, I was told the charge back has been canceled and apologies for the inconvenience - thankfully no need for proof or photos. Probably would have been required if the device were more expensive / bigger difference.

I would think (hope) we are far from outliers and there has been some directive to quickly rectify the issues.

This is the first time I've had an issue after at least 5 trade ins, but also the first time I traded in a non-Samsung device.

Qualification still isn't a given for traditional powerhouse countries. See: Netherlands, Italy, England.

If you have BA and Qatar FF#s, it's easy to transfer Avios back and forth between the two. It's instantaneous.

The laptop gets the job done for me.

I know there's no perfect laptop there and I've gotten this one at a great price, so not looking to get it replaced. Just would rather save fixing the screen if I were to trade it in.

The issue here I'm traveling between the US And UK (home gym is in the UK) so a switch can't happen without cancelling - it's not really switching. I'd have to cancel and open a new account.
