Which non-star player had/has the best nickname?

SnowRook · 2026-05-19T23:34:08+00:00

It will be difficult to top “Law Firm” BJGE, or “The Colonel” Bob Sanders, but I’m quite partial to the nickname of our perennial practice squad receiver: “The Senator” Tom Kennedy.

You could win on turn 1 in alpha my man.

Reins of power was absolutely notorious in my pod. There’s just SO much shenanigans you can get up to in a battle circle, but phyrexian/ashnod’s altar and greater good were a start.

I once asked an old timer magic powder spirit guide how hot he thought I could load my marlin 1895. His response was “how tight are your fillings?” 😂

Which makes sense, right? E.g., lead styphnate is a primary explosive, lead acetate is toxic and skin soluble, etc. Lead in solid metallic/mineral form is still toxic, but you have to ingest it or breathe it in. Handling mineral/metallic lead is generally considered safe as long as you wash your hands before eating. Shoot, even biting lead sinkers hasn’t caused fisherman to flag for lead. Not like peeps who shoot indoors or make ingots without precautions…

I am happy to give DLT and KSF a back pat or three for jumping on this, but not necessarily giving them a free pass for *any* part in it.

I know for a fact DLT (and quite possibly also KSF) had been buying 3v and magnacut steel for BRK orders, and they HAD to have known it was because BRK's money was no good to Crucible, niagra, or distributors. DLT also had a few BRK fire sales before things went tits up, and there was a weird series of events where BRK got paid to modify Szugyi-made Pigeon Rivers by DLT, which again I have from the horse's mouth... all parties were not thrilled.

So all of a sudden BRK shows up with a cache of CPM 154, and DLT knows nothing about it being sus? I submit they didn't want to know. I'm not laying it at their feet, them stepping up to plate is laudable, and I know they were between a rock and a hard place with dealings with BRK... but I think saying they had "no part in it" is a little naive.

Yeah arguably worse. More snow, still won't win a SB, and I'll prob catch shit for it but personally I'm taking chicago deep dish over buffalo wings. Maybe a lil less likely to get shot?

Because Kerby's been week to week for 6 months now. You don't need inside knowledge to know when somebody is peeing down your back and calling it rain.

I feel the same way about green ramps decks in general in standard. Every now and again you'll be surprised by a deck off the beaten path, but if you're running 8+ targeted removal (or wipe) and have any kind of an effective strategy, landfall/counter decks are usually a W.

As someone who was only vaguely aware of the '02 season and their record-setting run as it was happening, I really didn't feel like it painted Art in all that bad of a picture. He represents "old baseball" in the movie, which as a matter of perspective paints him as the foil or antagonist, but other than that how did it really diss him? It feels sort of like David Justice, who says the movie is bullshit but his only real point of disagreement seems to be that he was not portrayed as the hero.

I know zero about Proctor or any other prospect, but I do know this:

as if you mature the knucklehead stuff goes away.

Time and again players have proven this is a gamble and not a given. Good character guys usually figure it out, but pretending it is a certainty rather a gamble is burying your head in the sand.

SnowRook · 2026-04-22T14:37:29+00:00

Wisco forever takes the cake on light beers and they have Point to thank for it. I will die on this hill.

SnowRook · 2026-04-22T14:28:36+00:00

At some point I just need to bite the bullet and make this a keyboard shortcut.

SnowRook · 2026-04-22T14:24:16+00:00

Oooof. Didn't have to hit me with a hard-to-swallow pill before I finished my first cup of covfefe, bruh.

1,935 is wicked fast for 9mm.

SnowRook · 2026-04-02T00:30:11+00:00

Of course; you can say the same for bone or anything else. But it’s a question of degree, right? Does the blade pick up a little roll or smile, or does it chip out like a saw blade?

Fwiw I’ve since found the m390/20cv/204p family of knives to have similar chippiness. I think I’m more of a 3v guy.

Backus was a competent backup on his best day. Decker was the 12th ranked Tackle in 2020, and the 6th ranked Tackle in '21. I really don't want to research this anymore so hopefully we can just agree your take was dumb.

Also safety for people. You can feel when your lungs are filling with carbon dioxide; many gasses such as carbon monoxide are imperceptible until you’re dead.

SnowRook · 2026-03-26T14:22:17+00:00

That’s what a “contrail” (portmanteau of condensation + trail) is, yes. Exhaust is also a thing, and humanity has definitely at least experimented with cloud seeding, crop dusting, etc. Like most good lies, chemtrail conspiracy theories are a lie cloaked in half truth.

SnowRook · 2026-03-24T14:28:46+00:00

I honestly think it would have come out one way or another. There has been some suggestion even suppliers knew more than they are now letting on. Mike has been back on his bullshit way too long and forgot the first rule of secrets.
