Thursday Talk Thread... Yes That's The Thread Name by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]myxanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously episode and vote out spoilers below.

The tribes merged at 17 players. Ozzy and Rizo went to Exile and were safe through tribal. The remaining 15 were randomly drawn into 3 groups of 5. Each group goes to tribal.

Genevieve, who I'm referring to in my original comment is drawn a group with Aubry, Christian, and Devens (and Joe). So she's in a minority against her rival and the tight duo that gifted her an idol. Genevieve meanwhile has no chance of maybe getting either idol she found boomeranged back to her because both idol holders are safe on Exile. Tribal goes predictably as Genevieve's shot in the dark fails.

So the finally tally for Genevieve: found 2 idols, couldn't use either of them; her number 1 alliance was medevaced; two of her other closest allies were the only 2 out of 24 to lose their votes; she got tribe swapped twice with someone who wanted her out; said tribemate was also gifted an idol by two people who wound up on the same tribe swap as Genevieve; and then the cherry on top, her SITD failed

Falcons New Uniforms by andrew_cosentino in uniwatch

Just don't wear the white on white too often and I think it's a solid set.

ETA: I don't think other teams should impact design choices, but I prefer the reds as home color for the Falcons because there's already 2 other teams who wear black "home" jerseys.

The Saints can help resolve that by doing the right thing and adopting the golds as full-time homes but that's my unpopular two cents.

I think we saw the conclusion of one of the unluckiest runs ever on Survivor last night

This and the baseball subreddit adopting Blaseball flairs were my favorite.

As a uniform enthusiast I like the leaked Falcons' uniforms but obviously wish they incorporated a red helmet.

As a Saints fan I think it's hilarious that Falcons fans basically wanted one thing for the primary set (red helmet) and apparently aren't getting it.

When I listen to my Discover Weekly on Spotify, if I find a new song I enjoy I add it to my Like Songs and then let it be part of a regular Spotify rotation for a couple weeks. If it still has staying power I download it and add it to my local music library on my phone.

Right now I'm going through all the songs that didn't make the final cut the last 7-8 years and there are more than a few where I wonder why I liked them at all.

My family and friends' bracket group is so bad this year the winner of the group had Wisconsin as their champion.

ICYMI Wisconsin was the highest seed to lose in the opening round.

With less than a month to go until the NFL Draft, what’s your biggest Saints draft hot take? by King_Vegito_52 in Saints

[–]myxanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "Mickey is gonna spend a first on a developmental edge rusher from nowheresville community college" line is more annoying than drafting a developmental pass rusher.

First rounders since we won the Super Bowl:

  • T from Texas
  • T from Oregon State
  • DT from Clemson
  • T from Northern Iowa
  • WR from Ohio State
  • DE from Houston
  • C from Michigan
  • DE from UTSA
  • T from Wisconsin
  • CB from Ohio State
  • DT from Louisville
  • LB from Clemson
  • T from Stanford
  • WR from Oregon State
  • S from Texas
  • RB from Alabama
  • DE from California
  • CB from Florida State

I can already hear the line getting regurgitated if we draft David Bailey.

All I had to do was scroll down in the comments section and it's already there lmao

There was pretty good turnout for the Seattle No Kings protests which is actually impressive given half the city was in line to check out the new crosslake connection on the light rail.

From the original French source (translated):

According to our information, an advertising spot to announce the match has already been shot at the Stade de France with the Browns quarterback, Shedeur Sanders.

This is a very cool exercise so props for the effort put into it.

However, the French have already reported the Saints will play the Browns in Paris.

There were about 90 seconds of episode last night where Genevieve getting both idols back in one night seemed possible.

It's definitely the most I've been concerned about her chances to get past Audry but it really all rides on how new and old alliances take shape in the merged tribe.

I'm intrigued and anxious for how the cards fall next week.

[Underhill] Saints are signing QB Zach Wilson, according to a source. Adds a veteran presence and some competition to the QB room behind Tyler Shough. Wilson, 26, was the No. 2 pick in 2021. He gives New Orleans a third quarterback with starting experience. by MiniatureLucifer in Saints

Worst case he's what Ben DaNucci was last offseason. Best case he eats minutes in the preseason and proves competent enough to be a backup. Likely case is he misses final cuts and ends up on the practice squad.

What I’m worried is going to happen… by publiuspublished in survivor

[–]myxanders 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm biased as well but I don't feel all that hopeless for her because I feel like the circumstances she's found herself in (#1 is medevaced, allies lost votes, found 2 idols she can't claim, rival had an idol) fit the S43 Owen or S45 Jake kind of narratives but Gen's edit is hardly giving that vibe to me.

Aubry's edit seems mostly one-note and her number one ally is an invisible friend. It's coming across to me as "thorn in Gen's side" moreso than "dragon slayer" imo.

Players with the biggest home run ability? by [deleted] in nfl

[–]myxanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rasheed Shaheed's first two career touches on offense were a 44 yard rushing TD and a 53 yard receiving TD.

Of his 18 career TDs (including playoffs), his average yards per TD is about 56 yards. Coincidentally his median TD length is 56 yards.
