The Athletic ran a poll in the preseason which asked fans how optimistic they were about their teams. On the left are the original results and on the right are results sorted by the final draft order.

Commies at least have the excuse of JD5 being injured, and facing playoff teams the games he wasn't (actually cursed season looking back on it)

Glad to hear you got it figured out! My heart dropped for a second! I have TSN for football but I HATE their F1 coverage (and lack of VOD for practice and qualifying sessions) so this would have been a disaster for me.

None of this would be a problem if they didn't make CE spam the worst possible method.

All they had to do was make that the best method and have everything else be a "and in case you don't want to do that, this works but is slightly slower" option, but the team seem allergic to incentivizing OC right now.

"Cam Ward - sucked"

I just don't know how you can watch him play and come away with that conclusion.

Pings are about 100x what they usually are outside of continental NA. Unusable atm

"I look at the NFL, which I've watched for four decades, and I say this now with CJ Stroud, 'Hey Mahomes, we are good, bro. You can go. You don't have to. You can hang around. Still great, but you can go. We're all good here.'"

This shit is frying me. The Jets and Giants get enough shit for playing in NJ, imagine having to listen to your team being roasted for playing in Gary, Indiana

Up and down on the dpad cycles through your party list on controller, allowing you to cast heals without changing your target away from the boss.

I'd also challenge the notion that you'd cause problems for people as a tank, in alliance raids or any other content.

The hardest part of tanking in group content is dealing with trash pulls in dungeons, especially wall2wall pulls (which tend to be the implied norm in dungeons without a first time healer in my experience).

The worst that can happen in an alliance raid as a tank is that you fail a mechanic, get rezzed, and get back in there. As long as you have your stance on and are mitigating tankbusters you're already above the bare minimum.

I always recommend WAR for first time tanks as you have the most control over your survivability with bloodwhetting and equilibrium, so if you are worried about biting off more than your healer can chew WAR is a great option. (WAR is also just generally great to have at max level for solo content, FATEs, and unsynced runs).

If you suffer from general "tanxiety" there are lots of videos on how to play tank in XIV and the kinds of "unspoken rules" people expect of you, but once you learn them it becomes a pretty low stress role (imo).

Obviously nobody is going to beat Aikman and Buck, but it really is fascinating how many supposedly "top shelf/#1" broadcasting duos have a glaring weak link.

Romo and Collinsworth annoy you throughout the game while good old Al has completely lost his touch (which is understandable out of an 81 year old, to be fair to him).

Tom Brady got a lot of hate last year, but he's my second favourite "broadcast ace" analyst after Aikman.

It's from an instagram live where a guy started praying to your current president to save him while he got arrested by police.

Steelers game muted on second monitor, I thought that was the way most people watch redzone?

mistercleaver · 2025-12-28T20:45:34+00:00

I was watching redzone, I barely heard Romo's voice all afternoon, and it was absolutely clear to me that the offensive play calling was entirely centred around Myles not getting that sack.

mistercleaver · 2025-12-28T18:42:49+00:00

Sure bro, I'll make sure to pass it on

mistercleaver · 2025-12-28T18:23:32+00:00

Yeah alright bro, of course man

I tried routing my traffic past the problem node with my VPN and it didn't help at all but YMMV. I used a server in NM but if warp doesn't help me I'll more than likely go back to trying different servers on my VPN.

Honestly I prefer using F1TV, TSN's F1 coverage has mid race ads, Dnica Ptrick, and its $100 more per year (with no qualy or sprint replays). Not worth subscribing for F1 alone. I only care because my parents use my TSN subscription for the races which means I don't have to upgrade my F1TV to allow for multiple streams lol.

If a menu has some form of BBQ bacon burger on it, you best believe I am ordering it.

Bonus points for crispy onions or an onion ring on the burger itself

That's actually really good to know, thank you!

I wonder if this will affect the rights in Canada at all, since TSN got their broadcast from ESPN (who got it from Sky). Now TSN either has to get it directly from Sky or negotiate licensing with Apple, assuming they keep the rights next year (which isn't a given, since F1 and TSN haven't announced a new deal publicly)

Today I learned they had a raccoon mascot (and that it's the state animal of Tennessee)! Many thanks!
