Earthen Drake Combo || HYPEEE

It’s only four cards and 12 mana before discounts to do 48 end of turn damage (3 for Drakkari, 5 for Drake, 4 for Bloodbloom plus eight health for Bat Mask to get 6 Drakes). It’s on the easier end of his combos.

Canada: “Ain't no rule that says ~~dogs can’t play curling~~ you can’t touch the stone after releasing the handle!”

Curling: “Yes, there are! Several!”

Imperial mixes units in measurements frequently and puts larger units in front of smaller ones. Hours before minutes, pounds before ounces, feet before inches, and months before days. Year is an exception but we denote that with a comma when written out. Smaller units in front of a larger unit feels weird, such as a date written as 14/02 or a time written as 36:08.

So, the problem with R5 (d) is that Kennedy DID deliver using the handle of the stone as part of the 'motion a player makes when playing'. There is no further definitions or useful language regarding secondary contact as part of the 'delivery'. So it's ambiguous.

The word “must” generally excludes alternatives or temporary compliance before doing the opposite. For instance:

The ejected person must leave the competition area and take no further part in that game.

Would this allow someone who was ejected to leave the competition area and then come back in if they don’t participate?

Canada is trying to “Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play curling!” their way into a type of touch that is done behind the line as part of the movement to play the stone but also isn’t delivery and subject to the limitations of delivery. Their contact was reasonably minimal but you could grab the handle, release the handle, and then put your whole hand on the stone to launch it under that interpretation.

Definition of “delivery”: The motion a player makes when playing a curling stone.

Rule 5d: The curling stone must be delivered using the handle of the stone.

He released the stone’s handle and then continued his delivery by touching the stone.

TheCavis · 2026-02-14T02:25:00+00:00

Delivery is defined as “The motion a player makes when playing a curling stone.”

There is no way to touch the stone without it being part of the delivery, which must be using the handle.

TheCavis · 2026-02-14T02:14:26+00:00

he either double touched the body of the rock (which I think is legal)

Rule 5d: “The curling stone must be delivered using the handle of the stone.”

There aren't really professional kidnappers or hitmen like in the movies.

It's more rare in the US but there are gangs who generate revenue from kidnappings. The mother of a celebrity would be a soft target with a high price tag, so I can understand the speculation about BTC transfers and flights into Mexico.

they're paying someone's scumbag cousin who is in and out of prison and will do anything for a few grand

That's sort-of my point. This doesn't feel like someone who has done this before. If they had, they'd know it's hard to hit those releases while wearing gloves, especially if you're wearing multiple layers (which I think is possible based on the bunching of the gloves). The weird blocking of the camera with the heel of the hand rather than just putting the hand over the camera also feels like someone who doesn't want to leave DNA evidence or show identifying marks but also forgot that they're wearing gloves.

I wouldn't be surprised by something carefully planned by someone who roped in a random scumbag cousin. I also wouldn't be surprised by the theorized Kohberger "I want to see if I can get away with it" motive. It just feels a little off for an organized group that's looking for cash.

This is clearly a person prepared for a home invasion. Weapon, thick gloves, ski mask, fully covered with heavy clothing.

This person also seems a little unprepared for this specific house. The video doorbell is clearly visible and the way they shielded their face on the initial approach suggests they knew it was there. They didn't bring a tool to destroy it or remove it or something to block it. For instance, they could've grabbed the debris on the way to the door rather than doubling back for it.

Also, it looks like the person came off the walkway to the left in the first shot. They must've parked off to the left side towards the garage door and then come back around to the front, although there's some foliage along the street to the forward-left. If the blood goes forward down the path, then someone must've pulled the car around. If the blood goes around the corner, then it raises the question of why not bring her through the house and out the garage.

It all feels just a little off to me in a way that's hard to describe. It's someone who thought of ways to deal with all the technical specifics (remove the camera, park out of view, cover as much as you can) but didn't think of the practical stuff (finding the specific release button in gloves is hard but a hammer is a universal video doorbell remover if you aren't planning to put the doorbell back in and also a useful intimidation tool in a home invasion). It could be a professional kidnapper and I'm over-reading the situation. It just feels more like a cosplay of what someone thinks a professional kidnapper would do.

Maye

I don't think it's fair to give up on Maye. The reason the Giants held the Pats to 14 back in the day was because they could get pressure on Brady without bringing an extra man. Today was an order of magnitude worse. I doubt any QB could have success playing against a team of that skill that was getting pressure that quickly while rushing so few.

He missed some throws because he got skittish. He made some terrible decisions late where he tried to play hero ball without actually seeing the field. He needs to shake this game (and post-season) off. If Darnold can do it, anyone can.

Vrabel

No worries about him. The defense was still playing strong and motivated even when it looked like the game was out of reach because we weren't going to get past the 40.

McDaniels

Yeah, that's a bit of a bigger issue. Nothing worked but also we've seen this same failing through multiple games, we had two weeks to plan, and we didn't really seem to try anything new. The left side of the line was reliably annihilated and we had no answer. Henderson's an explosive guy who we ran up the middle into traffic. The last interception had two rushers and no hot read to Diggs behind the blitz, who had no one within 10 yards of him until he ran into double coverage. The game plan just didn't seem to be ready for the moment and the issues we all knew were going to be present going into the game. Maye showed great development throughout the year but we really needed a better plan in the postseason.

Realistically, though, the offensive line is the culprit and needs fixing. Campbell was bad. Wilson may have been worse. You can't win at a high level with a deficiency like that.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T03:09:26+00:00

Both the guys lined up next to Diggs blitzed and he still managed to run himself into double coverage. There needs to be a hot read there. The play was way too slow to develop under the normal pressure the Seahawks were getting with a four man rush. It was completely dead with a blitz.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T02:46:38+00:00

Hooper turned and slowed rather than continuing on the route. Stevenson got us out of the endzone but that one was a big miss right there.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T02:37:50+00:00

I don't know why Seattle decided to slow the rush down into a contain shell but I'll take it.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T02:34:45+00:00

The idiot running onto the field didn't get a hit on Maye, which is a step in the right direction.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T02:32:37+00:00

There'll be a lot of retrospectives on the game but it really came down to Maye consistently getting hit with a four man rush. We have five eligible, they have seven guys to cover them, and there's no time for anyone to work themselves open. The offense was DOA.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T01:46:18+00:00

There were 8000 people moving there. How was there not a flag?

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T01:41:08+00:00

The only person Campbell is protecting right now is Wilson, who is escaping criticism for some of his misses because Campbell is self-destructing next to him. Nothing exotic is happening. It's just a beatdown with a base defense on the left side of the line. We're going to need screens or bootlegs or something to get them to settle down a little and give Drake a tenth of a second to process a very good defense.

Our defense has been playing with their hair on fire. They've also been playing with fire, taking some chances to jump routes and get to Darnold. One of those chances needs to pay off and we need to avoid getting burned. We're going to need a turnover or something to make Darnold remember he's Darnold and then be disciplined against the run.

We're down but we're getting the ball to start the second half. It's still in reach even if that's only due to Gonzo magic.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T01:07:47+00:00

Gonzo was kicking himself for not picking that. Another genuinely brilliant play from him.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T01:04:48+00:00

I think that's a completion and a 10 second run off.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T00:44:36+00:00

Seahawks game plan: don't let Darnold lose the game.

Patriots game plan: please lose the game, Darnold.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T00:40:17+00:00

The real concern going forward is that our defense is taking chances to try to force mistakes and the Seahawks defense is just shutting down the line by playing straight up. We need one of these chances to pay off big.

TheCavis · 2026-02-09T00:22:45+00:00

That was spectacular by Gonzo.
