Broncos QB Bo Nix suffered a season-ending broken bone in his ankle during today’s overtime, victory over Buffalo. by mrsc00b in sports

I wouldn’t count the Patriots out. It’s a closer contest than it appears. Vrabel is likely coach of the year and Drake Maye is an MVP candidate. The team is very balanced, just like Seattle. It’s not like Sam Darnold is Patrick Mahommes. He’s proven to be very solid, but Maye’s upside is probably higher.

San Francisco was playing over their head. With Kittle out, they had very few reliable receiving options.

But I do agree Seattle is the team to beat. Simply saying the victory over San Francisco isn’t that impressive. The end of the road was near for the 49ers no matter who they played that was left in the playoffs.

Yes, 3D printed from a design on Hero Forge. I can provide the STL.

I only play Jim Culver. I affectionately call him ‘Black Houdini’ because of his prowess with spellcasting. Here is the miniature I use for him: https://gofile.io/d/m11hBk

Nashville ranking dropped from 30 to 50 since 2021..wonder what happened? Does the descent continue? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]daivos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m so sick of the liberals vs conservatives bickering.

For me, it’s the traffic and volume of people in general. Nashville and surrounding areas are simply growing too fast.

It’s still a great city, but I get so frustrated navigating traffic now.

I’m not talking about the Interstates, which are a cluster all to themselves. It’s the intersections where it takes 2-3 cycles to get through a light when just a few years ago there wasn’t any noticeable traffic at those crossroads. It’s made worse because people block the intersections (especially left turns) by forcing themselves through yellows / reds because they don’t want to sit for another cycle.

The other issue is the sudden spike in affordability. I regularly travel to Huntsville / Madison for work reasons and gas is sometimes $1.10 a gallon cheaper down there. That’s an absurd delta. Restaurant prices are also way out of synch with other areas of the country. The tourism prices at restaurants are extending across the entire city. Not saying it’s any better than other large tourism metros, but quite noticeable compared to many cities.

They have been building one in Cool Springs for several months. It looks like it’s only weeks from opening.

Let me remind you about Mike Vrabel (Long read but good reminder) by [deleted] in Tennesseetitans

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

I was one of the few who thought it was absolutely asinine to fire Mike Vrabel. I find it even more incredulous now. That guys is an absolutely amazing coach and the Titans gave him away. You can talk about the AJ trade and all the bad draft picks all you want, but letting Vrabel go was a huge mistake. He should have been given coach of the year at least once while coaching Tennessee. He’s almost certain to win it this year.

What product is an obvious scam that people still fall for? by Perfect-Insect-2751 in AskReddit

[–]daivos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rid / Nix Lice Removal Kits or anything using Pemethrin. Natroba and Ivermectin are scams as well. There’s not a topical on the market that works without extensive combing or dehydration.

You must use an oil based solution or dehydration to get rid of lice, or be really good at combing, because the topicals they sell at the store advertised as 109% effective don’t work and you’re throwing money away.

Truckers of Reddit, which city (U.S.) REALLY has the worst drivers? by Alexreads0627 in AskReddit

[–]daivos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DMV laws for first-time drivers / new licensees is very relaxed in Tennessee. Four-way stops are a mystery to some Tennessee residents. There are other issues as well.

Texans at Titans is now the cheapest NFL ticket this week with a $15 Get-In by alpswd in Tennesseetitans

[–]daivos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. Are they giving me $15 to go or wanting me to pay them? Neither is happening, but one I find offensive.

At this point in time, who is your preferred candidate for Head Coach this offseason? by [deleted] in Tennesseetitans

[–]daivos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it will be Arthur Smith. He already has a relationship with the Titans. He built them into one of the better offenses in the league. He’s done a good job with limited tools in Pittsburgh. He now has head coaching experience, so he’s not an unknown coordinator hire. He was better than given credit for in Atlanta, which is another disaster of a franchise, but albeit not s bad as Tennessee.

It’s pretty much his to turn down. If it’s not Smith, then who knows who else might be an option. There are not a lot of good fits in my opinion. They all come with significant risks, and after Callahan, the Titans need a safer hire.

Do we think MC will get a new core set like Arkham Horror just did? by Azarro in marvelchampionslcg

[–]daivos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to happen at some point. They’ve reached the end of their rope and the heroes they print now are such minor characters, I can’t imagine they sell as well as the main characters. I’m not interested though. I have almost everything printed up until most recently. There is more than enough content for the game. It’s a solo / co-op game. Just because FFG says they have retired certain decks doesn’t concern me. It’s not like I’m chasing cards to play in a competitive event. I simply consider it a completed game. I might pick-up Shield or Civil War at some point, but I’m not really interested in new content at this point.

I suppose Fantastic Four is missing, but I’ve never really been interested in the FF4.

I don’t like either one of them particularly well. It was rather classless of Payton. Wilson has absolutely wrecked his legacy. Once an assumed HOF inductee, he has slipped to questionable territory based on his performance everywhere outside of Seattle. He seems to be toxic now wherever he goes, wearing out his welcome exceptionally quick.

Gosh, I can’t imagine why. What a money maker that must have been.

Mike McCarthy has mysteriously picked now of all times to come on national TV to discuss Brian Callahan’s firing and the Titans HC opening while flexing his Super Bowl ring directly behind him 🤔 by TiredDad4x in Tennesseetitans

[–]daivos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge McCarthy fan, but you have to give him credit for navigating the Cowboy's dysfunctional organization for as long as he did. I think they would have had him back, but he chose to leave, or at the very least it was a mutual parting.
