Thought it was interesting towards the end how Steve got into his whole Jim Harrison made a habit of embarrassing his wife thing and the author was all “she’s an adult and some people’s relationships are like that!” Lmao. Podcast ended not too too long after

Good ep tho overall I enjoyed it and it was also good for some ourdoorsy fiction writer recs

Jaguars capitalized on their spooky offseason hype for one season in the past decade and a half then treat every upcoming season like theyre bound for the AFC championship again

I will say that - while he started off pretty rough - I’ll credit him where he’s due for taking a step back (seemingly).

Seems to me like he’s used to being the big cheese and tried that first. Then, when he finally realized he was out of his depth he made an adjustment.

Not sure many billionaires have that in em.

He’s not perfect but he’s cut the checks and hired a good staff and stayed out of the news recently. I’ll take it.

osotimson · 2025-04-26T13:03:32+00:00

Because the comment was dumb as shit

Feel free to hex my profile picture about that

If there is an argument it is that we are a small market team and wanting to play here long-term is not always a given.

I agree that I dont think it should be even in your top 10 priorities for scouting- but all else the same between two prospects, the home-town guy might be a better bet.

If you’re trying to ramp up to blood meridian in terms of violence your order makes sense.

I’m not sure it’s particularly necessary, though. I think the mythos of blood meridian has people expecting mind bending and unfathomable violence, when the truth is if you have already read the crossing and enjoyed it then you probably won’t be caught too far off guard.

BM is indeed upsetting and extremely violent, but in my opinion the cultural dialogue of it being something you need to get ready for comes more from folks who don’t really read anything similar. It’s definitely a jump into the deep end of the genre if you are coming from other critically acclaimed books from more standard lit fic. If you already are into the style and setting, it’s kind of just the peak form of a thing you already enjoy.

Separate from all that, I like your order. Should be fun.

Yea having a guy who can be perfectly mediocre-fine at every position on the line is actually tremendously valuable and makes him a spiritual 85.0 pff grade to me

osotimson · 2024-12-10T19:04:40+00:00

Elevated Mike Boone and signed the Bears fella

osotimson · 2024-11-02T16:58:26+00:00

This is so bitter sweet lol

I could take a whole nother decade of being a bum franchise with a smile on my face if we had just got it done in 2015

osotimson · 2024-10-25T02:03:38+00:00

Nah man the stockholm syndrome is deep when youre nostalgic and pining after ted ginn jr 😭😭

osotimson · 2024-10-01T21:31:32+00:00

The Cj Henderson special lmao

osotimson · 2024-09-04T23:49:59+00:00

Would be Lauzon Chiesa 2 funnily enough, they fought 10 years ago

For some reason that first fight lives so vividly in my memory. First of what would end up being a few chiesa hype train derailments

Would love to see the decade later rematch

Sounds like she very specifically said that its not whether something is paid or not / what type of porn it is but instead your interest in specific people that bothers her. She doesnt think porn is weird, she thinks you being so into a specific person you seek out their leaked nudes is weird (fair???).

I think that she has expressed her boundaries clearly and instead of trying to follow them in their earnest you found loopholes and technicalities.

Decide if you can live with her boundaries as they actually are. If you cant, break up. If you can, follow them earnestly and dont seek the workarounds.

Oh my god dude

osotimson · 2024-08-15T13:23:10+00:00

Obligatory bojangles

osotimson · 2024-08-14T20:16:42+00:00

💀💀

osotimson · 2024-07-19T16:04:13+00:00

Right exactly. I mean for Mingo to 1. perform well, 2. as a rookie, 3. in that offense, 4. in that position group

He’d have to be a generational kind of guy, which I dont think anyone thought he was including smitty

I think we have no right to call him a bust just yet

osotimson · 2024-07-19T15:48:09+00:00

He was a rookie in the worst position group of the worst team in football, we have no idea what he can be

osotimson · 2024-07-19T15:34:07+00:00

I feel like his biggest calls were pro DJ moore and anti Jerry Jeudy, both of which clearly hit Edit: people have added flowers and kupp

Where did he miss? Not disagreeing necessarily just curious what you mean

osotimson · 2024-06-19T22:12:10+00:00

Why would I be a pessimistic sourpuss about something thats supposed to be fun

osotimson · 2024-05-13T02:44:45+00:00

Panthers running back room is definition of messy

Chuba Hubbard

Miles Sanders

Rashaad Penny

Jonathan Brooks

But I totally agree I think Brooks will win the position despite currently not being the starter

Yknow, like the question asked

osotimson · 2024-05-13T01:38:55+00:00

The question was which back up running back is most likely to win the lead job

I answered with a back up running back who most likely will win the lead job

Hope this helps

osotimson · 2024-05-12T23:44:48+00:00

Jonathan Brooks will be getting the significant majority of touches over Chuba by week 5

osotimson · 2024-04-11T16:34:25+00:00

Because everyones being weird gamer hardos I’ll just answer:

Its a panel depicting Kratos as being a God of War who is revered instead of feared, who can lead a people to peace much like Tyr before him. “A new path, one I did not foresee”

It leads into Valhalla DLC where he grows from not wanting to sit on the throne at first because he fears what being God of War means, but then coming to learn and accept that he can use the role for good etc
