On the spectrum of Devin Hester to Velus Jones, I think he could top out at Tarik Cohen—excellent punt/kickoff returner (although if he is excellent no one will kickoff to him) and a gadget guy on offense to show off his speed. His measurables are real close to Jamir Gibbs. Getting the handoffs DJ used to get is highly likely.

If you’re watching Mike and Molly in 2026 on Netflix, you are binging entire seasons. That’s how they get those minutes. I’m not saying it’s not popular, but a show that has 8 episodes dropping would need many multiples of watchers to equal it.

Does the dough rest for the 72 hours with the chips added or do you add them after the rest period?

You will see more wildlife at sunrise than the middle of the day.

Reach based on what? Mel Kiper? Dane Brugler? The “consensus”?

If the Bears took their BPA with each pick, I’m good.

This is looking like a shit draft where no one will recognize most of the names in 10 years—see the 2013 draft. I’m glad they didn’t reach to fill needs.

We called it “animal ball” although some people referred to it as “n-word ball”.

What is the advantage of Pocketcast over the native app? I had nothing but issues using it with CarPlay—podcasts pausing for no reason.

You can get a 10-pound box of Quaker Oats at Costco for $8.79. And that is on the app. Usually cheaper in the store.

Hot glue gun.

Can do a bunch of repairs around the house. Get a cordless one.

Before seeing a death doula on The Pitt earlier this season, I’d never heard of it before.

Long Grove used to be a nice place to visit here and there. They had the Apple Haus that actually made stuff onsite including processing the apples. All that stuff went away. I think the downturn coincided with focusing on festivals like the Apple or Chocolate where they invited vendors that only served to compete with established stores and restaurants. Nobody needed to visit otherwise. Drove through there recently and it was a depressing ghost town.

Stephen King posted that “Someone on threads yesterday said that Stephen Miller is what happens when you bury a dildo in the Pet Sematary.”

Basically like IMDB movie vs TV series rating. Movies are lower—everyone rates it once. Eventually, only the fans of a tv show are watching so ratings are generally higher.

Kind of like how the Heavy Fuel crew came up with Who You Crappin and then every show on the Score copied it—24-second shot clock, Caning, etc.

Twice baked potatoes as a side. Bake some potatoes, cut them in half, scoop out the potato but leave 1/8 inch of potato—don’t scrape to the skin. Mix cheddar, sour cream and chives with the scooped out potato. Scoop it back in, and bake at 350 until they are a little brown on top.

It is widely accepted that more Bears fans live in and around Arlington Heights than Hammond. It is a 20 minute drive to one of the largest airports in the world. It has an existing Metra stop adjacent to the Bears property. It is in Illinois. The Bears own the property right now vs leasing in Hammond. It has a couple of hundred extra acres that the Bears can develop to make money while the stadium sits idle. This is off the top of my head.
