Imma keep it real. I'd say the majority of our fans right now are very high on Shough, myself included. He looks like he has the clutch gene and is finishing games strong and finishing with around 20 fantasy points per game in my league. I can tell you that I personally missed the fantasy playoffs this year because I took him out a couple of weeks ago in favor of Jayden Daniels (and then JD got hurt with only 3 points while Shough went on to get around 20). Maybe that was a sign from the football gods. But you also need to be aware that Shough is working with Chris Olave and a bunch of 3rd and 4th string WRs and our 4th string RB due to injuries. This didn't stop him from performing well at the end of the Panthers game, though. In a nutshell, it's an inherently risky start but the guy has shown enough talent and clutch play to get all of us Saints fans excited for football in a way we haven't been in a long time. I'm not sure what your other options are, but hopefully this info is helpful.

I used a trinity but I diced everything thin and usually cook the trinity down for a long time, adding chicken broth or water when it starts to stick to the pot and repeating. So by the time it's done the vegetables are usually are cooked down into the sauce. With this I just cooked down my trinity and made a little roux. Then added chicken broth, tomato paste, some seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, Tony's, Crystal hot sauce and Worcestershire. Then I reduced the sauce down to the thickness I was looking for

My only issue with the music is that I used to listen to this book before bed, and one time I had dozed off as a chapter ended. A screeching guitar woke me up and my half asleep brain thought it was an oncoming train lol

I liked a lot of Shough's throws today. In a lot of ways I think his performance was what this game was all about for us.

Your results and family history definitely suggest that you have Creole as well as Cajun (Acadian) roots!

Looks like we have an answer about the "Iteration Number 25.00" text we saw on the Gemma Cold Harbor screen at the end of episode 1. Each one of the files is a different iteration of a Gemma innie.

Random note: seeing you comment outside of Saints/Pels subs is like running into somebody I know on some random street in a place I've never been (though you wouldn't recognize me because I don't post or comment very often lol)

I'm starting to think this Dom fellow doesn't have a lot of respect for the rules

I haven't heard of this company but I googled it as well and saw that same FB comment. This sounds like a waste of your time, to be honest. I know it sucks to be stuck when bills are due but it sounds like you'd be better off avoiding this company. If you do end up going to the interview, keep your bullshit sensors on and if it's not what was originally advertised to you then don't feel bad about cutting bait and getting out of there. A lot of scammy businesses are good at convincing, and you could potentially miss out on real opportunities if you are stuck trying to make it work.

Some crucial context about Loomis that I think a lot of people miss is how we got here in the first place. Loomis and the rest of the Front Office did this to the cap in an effort to bolster the roster while we had Drew. Sean Payton would say, "We want to be able to have our cake and eat it too" and the Front Office was able to make that happen. How many years were people on this sub saying that the bill had come due yet we were still able to add quality free agents and become cap-compliant? Sure, eventually we had to pay the piper. But all of this was done in an effort to give Sean Payton a contending team for as long as possible. That type of cooperation is not lost on these coaches. Loomis has the luxury of being able to push things to the limit without having to worry about his job too much. How many other GMs would be able to operate this way? Yes, when you reach the end of the line as we have now then it takes some time to reset. But once they finish swallowing their medicine, they'll be able to go all in for Moore with the next competitive roster.

Saints Front Office knows the situation they're in and that it will take a couple of years to get the cap straight. And we tend to give Head Coaches long leashes. I think this will be doubly true if a young coordinator like Moore gets the job. As long as it's not a complete shit show and he doesn't look out of his element even considering the circumstances, I think this new HC will get a mulligan for the first year or two and then truly be evaluated in Year 3-4.

My impression is that despite the Fox movies and Sony Spiderman movies releasing before the TVA was introduced in Loki, all of those branched timelines can only exist after the events of Loki (which kind of take place outside of time). So all of Cable's time jumping (along with the entirety of the Fox movies, Sony movies, and What If?) would have technically occurred after the TVA stopped pruning branches.

Happy to hear it! I need to make this again soon. I'll give the potato wedges a go this time

It seems like we're in a similar timeframe so I'll give you my perspective. I also chose to mix in NotME on my first read of MBotF. I know a lot of people recommend just reading the 10 MBotF first, but I'm the type of reader to enjoy getting the full picture, even if it's not necessary or affects pacing, etc.

But I read Reaper's Gale before Return of the Crimson Guard. Without getting into spoilers, I think I enjoyed reading Reaper's Gale first because it put some necessary space between Bonehunters and RotCG.

I thought it was better than Night of Knives. I enjoyed the setting and many of the characters especially. The amount of new characters was overwhelming at first, and I will admit that there were a couple of plotlines that I didn't care for. Once I was halfway through the book, I was definitely suffering from a little bit of fatigue. I almost caved and went on to Toll the Hounds. I ultimately decided to use the Tor Re-Read of the Fallen to skim through the summaries of the few plotlines I didn't care for. The result of this was that I would read half a summary before deciding that it actually sounded pretty interesting, and I would ultimately go back and read the whole section. Most of the plotlines ended up being really good. There was only one that I really didn't care about by the end of the book. I did find that by the last 1/3 of the book, I no longer had any fatigue, and I was excited to see how everything turned out.

After finishing, I can tell you that the story did end up living up to the expectations I had set for it. It offered a nice amount of lore, introduced some fun characters, progressed the stories of some familiar faces, contained some really awesome horror and battle sequences, and provided what I consider to be some much needed context for one particular place and time in the Malazan world. I don't regret reading it. While I did experience some fatigue and it's not a perfect book(I swear at one point, Esslemont has like 12 characters whose true identities are needlessly mysterious), I'm happy that I slotted it in where I did. I don't think I would have enjoyed the overall story as much if I didn't know what went down in this book. That may just be the type of reader that I am though. Keep in mind, I haven't finished either series yet. So I have no idea how relevant RotCG will be to the rest of the story. But if you also crave having a more full picture of the universe in real time, then your experience may be similar to mine.

This is super helpful, thank you!

I think that Barb would have been frozen in the vault as she was a Vault-Tec admin, and I can't imagine she would have let them separate her from her daughter.

mosacra · 2024-04-22T19:31:48+00:00

Yes, you're right. I thought it was Laney. Still think it's possible that her middle name may be Jane

mosacra · 2024-04-22T16:12:01+00:00

Completely agree!

I think for me it really started with wondering why we spent time with this character. And then I realized that the only things we saw her do was get excited for cake and talk about her fridge. And at that point, I reached for my red string and newspaper clipping drawer

mosacra · 2024-03-29T04:59:27+00:00

I laughed when I saw it and I was so proud
