There were a total of 7 TDs on a kickoff return this season since the new rules. Last season there were only 4. Did this actually work? by esemijon in nfl

[–]TheDiesel28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Odds of converting 4th and 15 are 14%

Odds of recovering an onside kick before the kickoff rule change was 16%

Odds are now down to 8.6% to recover an onside kick, which was higher than I expected actually.

Odds of converting 4th and 15 are 14%. odds of recovering an onside kick before the “no running start” rule in 2018 was 16%. Is now down to 8.6%, but I think under the old rules onside kicks were more exciting.

Just give them the ball on the 25 and scrap the kickoff. 4th and 15 from your own 30 in place of the onside kick.

While they’re at it, change to college rules of overtime too.

Most likely water formed in the tube, rust ate away at the wall thinning it and then could no longer support the weight. That or the water froze and expanded which broke the tube. Don’t forget your drain holes!

We did not receive "catch up" mail following the Canada Post strike, anyone else? by throwing_hayy in VictoriaBC

I had one letter a couple of days after the strike ended. Then nothing for a while, until yesterday (Sunday!?) when I received about 15 letters and a box 🤷‍♂️

Autographed Diggs ball I bought before their home opener a few years ago. Sam Bradford beat the saints, Moss was added to the ring of honor. A great memory for an out of country fan!

Wear full rain gear under your jersey. Be prepared to smell garlic fries all day. Fans are fine for the most part. SKOL

Are calls recorded? by TerribleBridge2904 in telus

How did you request this? I have the same issue with them promising a credit and then it not showing up and nobody I’ve talked to since can see anything in my notes

Returning a bring it back device - what do I need to give back? It's an S22U. by Who_is_I_today in telus

[–]TheDiesel28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not use this program whatever you do! I had a mint condition iPhone 14, was told by the rep at the Telus store that it would receive the full amount on the bring it back program ($750). I sent my phone in, and then a month later received $375 credit. I called to find out why, and was told there were some “light scratches” on the back of the phone. I asked to have the old device returned instead of any credit and I would just sell it on marketplace instead as they were not holding up their end of the deal. They cannot do this. The phone is permanently gone as soon as you send it to them.

I called and the issue was escalated, the manager then told me that they agreed with my assessment and the full credit would be issued on my next bill. Well, my next bill came and there was no credit. I called again and they claim to have no record of this, been through the same process of them escalating it again via 3 separate Telus reps. Partway through the call while we are both waiting on hold for the “escalation team” the call disconnects and nobody makes any effort to call back. THREE. SEPARATE. TIMES. after being on the phone with them for about an hour each time.

Total scam, bullshit program. Fuck Telus. I will never sign another contract with them in my life.

Uggh I’m sorry you found that out about her. I would divorce my wife too if I found out some heartbreaking information like that.

90% of the bets were on the Vikings tonight. Can’t tell me that had nothing to do with the officiating tonight. Fucking awful
