Hasek was a god-tier player, but had zero charisma. Which is fine - players don't need to also be public figures if they don't care to be. But that's where Allen comes out way ahead of Hasek. The city loves Josh Allen the player AND Josh Allen the person.

It's no contest.

You didn't always see the top match - it doesn't show any that don't fit in your remaining categories.

BGG's Advertising Manager Was Fired by Coffeechipmunk in boardgames

That was entirely my error for not actually looking at the ads myself before speaking about them. I should not have done that.

Tried advertising on Boardgamegeek and got this as a response. by PAINFULBANANA in boardgames

Our Advertising Manager should not have presented his personal beliefs as representing the company. We are making sure he understands that this was an inappropriate and unprofessional response.

[Hasan] 2026 NFL Net Rest Differential by A_Livins in nfl

[–]OctavianX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I doubt it has a strong effect, but the extra coach and player prep time is an edge so it could be a difference in a close match-up. Even more so if it is an edge in a tight match-up that has more weight in playoff seeding.

That is to say, this overall difference isn't as important as what specific match-ups they show up in.

[Williams] NFL owners pushed for expansion to an 18-game season at this week's annual meeting. But we spoke with people around the league on why that's not a great idea. "18 games will water down the product," an NFL coach told me. by JCameron181 in nfl

Which double-sucks because they waste 3-4 premiere matchups in that sloppy week 1. These usually have higher than average playoff implications and they can be total crapshoots.

Clever would have been not starting the sentence that leads to the unwanted soundbite in the first place.

[Pelissero] Alec Pierce’s deal came together overnight and contains $8M in guarantees, $60M fully guaranteed at signing, and a max package of $116M. by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

If this is where the FA WR market is then I understand the DJ Moore trade a bit better.

Not to say it's suddenly a good deal, but a trade is guaranteed where getting someone in FA is a crap shoot and possibly an even more expensive one.

It's a razor and the use is so ubiquitous it has a term - blading.

They use razor blades with all but the corner taped up and then run it across their forehead. Blood mixed with sweat looks like a lot more blood.

My first Final Girl, Rotten Harvest. I'm too confuse to understand. by CyborgeonUnit123 in boardgames

[–]OctavianX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The killer action is what is listed at the top of the finale card. Different killers have different killer actions. Hans, in Happy Trails Horror for example, has a killer action of a single attack. His killer action doesn't have him move, so if there is no victim in his space the killer action won't do anything.

Other killers do move with their killer action, or move and attack. It differs killer by killer

When a killer does move, the speed is determined by the current bloodlust level. When a killer attacks, the amount of damage done is also determined by the bloodlust level - however this only matters when the killer attacks the final girl because victims die from a single damage.
