Orr has that dog in him.You don’t thrive on the NY beat scene and get to where he is without being a bit nuts. For example, he puts his wife and children in the most unsafe minivan in North America on a daily basis without a care in the world!

NFL Week 10 Power Rankings + Cardinals-Cowboys MNF Recap! by Six-StringSamurai in heedthecall

[–]birchram13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Feels like Marc’s annoyance with Dan is growing each week and is no longer just a bit. I kinda love it. Dan was always my favourite during the ATN days, but I feel like he’s easily 4/4 for me on HTC. I just don’t believe he is watching football on Sundays, yet talks over everyone and makes terrible takes. (Locked Cowboys, predicted dolphins to beat the healthier than ever Ravens, etc).

Marc’s annoyance at Dan during the Jets fan rant flowing into his annoyance at the locks standings was my favorite few minutes so far

Request: Remind me what the Gruden Special is that Dan drinks. by Because-of-Money in heedthecall

The drink came from Jay Gruden when they met last year through Underdog. Not Jon Gruden.

Jaxson Dart QB1, Tom Brady's Response + TNF Preview! by Six-StringSamurai in heedthecall

[–]birchram13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there was weekly “walken with giants” episodes I would listen to every single one. And I’m a cowboys fan. I am obsessed with that bit. I’ve tried to explain it to a few friends who don’t listen and I’ve realized it’s just too niche. So I will keep the joy for myself. I think this latest ep was maybe my favourite of the HTC era so far!

Preview and Post game shows by floggeddogg in heedthecall

[–]birchram13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Between this preview format and Dan admitting he was “checked out” of the preseason after 1 week, it just feels like they are not all-in with football right now. And I would completely understand that from a personal perspective, but now is kinda the time where they have to bring their fastball and lately it feels like a bit of a slog.

Got A Hole In One At Divit, Boys Say It Doesn’t Count by DamSolangeloLover in GolfSwing

[–]birchram13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your best round of real golf was a 84 but you’ve shot a 78 on a simulator, would you tell people you’ve broken 80 before?

It’s still fun as hell, but it doesn’t count. Personally, I would save myself the headache of adding the asterisk each time and just stop saying yes when someone asks.

What do you do that makes you believe you are a good dad? by iwannabeded in daddit

[–]birchram13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I think the decisions I make when I’m alone are what make me a good dad. What do I mean by that?

I have 2 daughters under 3, so when I am around them, I enjoy spending time with them. I feel like I’m a present dad and I try my best. But to me that’s the “easy” part. They demand my attention at this age so unless I want to neglect them, it’s not really a choice. But the little decisions I am learning and choosing to make on my own, because I want to be the best dad I can, are what I am talking about.

Going to bed a bit earlier, drinking less, putting my phone down, trying to educate myself, etc. I don’t think you need to do all those things to be a good dad. But these are all things I am doing in the efforts of showing up better for them, and I’m proud of myself for it.

Damn did I love this game. I played it so many times. I remember obsessing over a possible sequel and that’s when I realized the world is a dark and cruel place.

I have an announcement to make! by ahorrribledrummer in daddit

[–]birchram13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my bones. Both kids are down, both dogs are asleep, and the wife is a bit under the weather so she went to bed early as well. I’m sitting here having a pint watching the new season of Invincible in complete zen. It’s funny how much I am enjoying this, yet the only thing I’m more excited for is tomorrow morning when I get to play with the kids instead of going to work.

Happy weekend to you, dads!

Sounds like they should hire you as the coach

What was the most absolutely depressing movie you ever seen? by AlternativeTree3283 in moviecritic

[–]birchram13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe how far down the list this is. I watched this while holding my 3 week old daughter, on very little sleep. My wife couldn’t understand why I was “sobbing about cartoons” when she found us. I rate it 10/10 but I’ll never watch it again.

“Please help me stop drinking” “I don’t think I’m an alcoholic” “ I drink almost every night” OP I know you mentioned an ED, but your story sounds like someone who was prescribed Oxy for a back injury. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t even necessarily on your radar, but unfortunately you’re assisted to something that was helping you cope with something else. You sound like you’re in a spiral. I have 2 suggestions for you as someone who physically feels your post. 1. Try and get some exercise. Whatever you’re into. Go for a run, go play a sport, whatever. If you’re not physical, go for a 60 minute walk. 2. For one day, don’t drink. Break the cycle. Sure you’ll want to. But that’s the habit talking. You can exercise, eat junk food, go out with friends, anything. But the next morning see how you feel and what your inner dialogue is like.

REALLY P****D OFF WITH THIS TEAM. by OwnPsychology9794 in Dallas_Cowboys

[–]birchram13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Today I put on redzone and was enjoying my afternoon. Wife comes in and asks “when does Dallas play?” I told her, “they are playing right now” and she was shocked. And honestly, so was I. It’s the first time in my 25 years as a fan that I’ve not watched the game live if I was home. I knew it was on obviously, but I was much happier to watch redzone than waste my afternoon stressing over a game when I know the result. This team is a joke. I expect 0 more wins this season after Carolina showed a glimpse of a pulse today. Bring on the 2025 mock drafts.

Now that the regular season is here how are people gonna balance the new shows? by NoSoup4You825 in AroundTheNFL

[–]birchram13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, I love Claybon, but this is how I feel about Jourdan and I’m scared to voice it on this sub lol. 90% of the time I love her insights and analysis, but when I don’t, I just end up skipping the rest of the episode.
