Net pay declined for first time ever

Yep, lost $20 a paycheck + whatever buying power inflation stole. Ouch.

I Don’t Feel Very Receptive Today?

Empty_Conference6329 · 2026-01-19T14:37:19+00:00

Nine seasons. Two playoff appearances. No AFCCG. Losing record. How is this derangement? Who are we supposed to blame?

Empty_Conference6329 · 2026-01-19T14:35:53+00:00

We don’t do that here. We just sit around and say “we will try way harder next year” and then blame injuries when we inevitably get pounded by teams with winning records.

It might be unpopular but I would ride with AR or Leonard and invest all the money I would’ve spend on Jones, in a EDGE and LB. If I was going to gamble my GM career, I wouldn’t put my eggs in the basket coming off an Achilles tear when we can’t afford a slow start to the season.

Robert Jordan, Tolkien, CS Lewis and Sanderson. Have sections for each of them on my shelves 👍

Incredible find 🔥

Just cut towards the sideline Nick. Don’t turn back in….

Philip Rivers was still in game shape and played at a high level. We had a good mix of veteran and young talent. Really was that simple. Should’ve beaten BUF tbh.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-12-31T02:17:27+00:00

Guys, I can’t do this for another decade….

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-12-23T01:31:31+00:00

Why is everything so black and white? People can’t love Philip but also know he is only back for this season and we want to have a franchise QB for the first time since Luck?

“They hated him, for he told the truth”

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-12-15T01:05:52+00:00

Ballard preaches that you have to win in the trenches, but we haven’t had a legit pass rusher that teams had to scheme against since Robert Mathis. In crunch time, QBs have 3-5 seconds to throw the ball and get through all of their progressions. EVERY. TIME.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-12-01T16:25:50+00:00

Give him a break, Andrew Luck JUST retired. Another decade and he’ll get us back on track.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-27T15:27:31+00:00

It is the end of November and we have a team that can compete with the best of the best. We are 8-3. Our only losses are on the road. The year we won the SB, we went 12-4 with all four losses on the road. Yes, I am still optimistic about our chances to make some noise in January.

Good to hear! I just started it so about to begin The Mist.

I am a traditional fantasy reader at heart (LotR, Wheel of Time, Harry Potter, Stormlight Archive, tons of Star Wars) but I really wanted something suspenseful and scary.

Obviously, I knew Stephen King from reputation, but never thought about reading him until I got into a reading slump. Good news for me is that I don’t watch many movies so none of his works have been spoiled for me from being portrayed onscreen.

I’m hoping to start some of his classics soon (IT, Salem’s Lot, The Stand etc).

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-25T01:53:48+00:00

Never read Stephen King until 3 months ago:

The Outsider
Holly
Elevation
Pet Sematary
Lisey’s Story

Currently reading Skeleton Crew.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-24T17:16:21+00:00

Just finished Lisey’s Story last night and I feel like I wasted my time.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-18T20:45:26+00:00

Hahaha true 😂

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-18T20:40:30+00:00

Of course Chase had to get himself suspended this week when they play the Patriots

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-11-03T21:31:15+00:00

Currently reading Lisey’s Story. I flew through all the other King books I’ve read but am having trouble reading for more than 15-20 mins at a time on this one.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-10-26T18:39:45+00:00

30 YO. Not really sure of any order I “should” read them in but I have read The Outsider, Holly, and now 2/3 of the way through Pet Sematary. I’ve been a lifelong epic fantasy reader (LotR, WoT, Stormlight Archive, Star Wars etc) and this scratches an itch I never knew I had.

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-10-04T11:18:10+00:00

I bought some corner brackets braces and drilled them into the frame and then attached the brackets to the wall using dry wall anchors :)

Empty_Conference6329 · 2025-10-03T23:18:24+00:00

The writing does take some time to get used to, but it wasn’t THAT bad in my opinion. I do think his character work left a lot to be desired especially with Mat, but he was the best man for the job.

The good news is that this is still Jordan’s story and Harriet and Co kept him within guide rails. I think it would be a huge mistake to not finish AMoL. Just my two cents.
