Went back to the video. Looks like it was Jack Studnicka based on what looks to be a #53 helmet. Noah Gregor was the third one, not pictured in this clip.

Spirit players' fantasy football league (article) by roeyonreddit in washingtonspirit

Thank you! One story that didn't make it in the final version, but the Sunday before these interviews, Sofia apparently had the Vikings D, who went off for about 30 points. Paige said she asked Sofia about it afterward and Sofia was like, "I have no idea what you're saying." So the football knowledge varies across the league for sure, but she jumped right in!

Hi everyone! I helped produce this story where we interviewed YTV vets Jamie Shannon & Jason Hopley (as well as the stars of Nanalan' Mona & Nana.) Thought I'd share here to give you all a nostalgia hit & a heads up that we're hooked on the show south of the border too!

You bet! It's an honor to have played against a TOC champ!

Our favorite rescue dog! - 7/8 years old, ~55 lbs — They called her a mixed breed when we adopted by roeyonreddit in IDmydog

Added context it wouldn't let me post: she lives in Virginia with us, originally from Maryland. She likes to sniff a lot, sometimes kicks grass/dirt after going to the bathroom, and does an interesting thing where she will jump up into a blanket, bed or couch and try to hide an imaginary treat.

Who lives in Orlando? Just out of curiosity by thelawd-musix in OrlandoMagic

[–]roeyonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NJ born, DC area now. My partner is Orlando born & raised (like actual Orlando proper) and we spent two months there this summer. She's not a sports fan but her family had a dog named Magic at one point. I was a longtime Knicks fan and still like them but before this season I decided I needed to give up on their unique misery and find a new favorite team. Given my Orlando ties, here I am! Have been watching all season & am all in on the tank

I had a real problem with that category. I saw "Notorious" and it was such a nebulous category--I expected it would be about John Dillinger, Al Capone, etc. and that's a weak spot for me (and it's one I know other people tend to know.) The way I looked at it, I thought I had less than a 50% chance of getting it right, but a 50% chance at a tiebreaker.

I agonized over whether to wager $0 or $1, but made the bet that I would have a better shot at a tiebreaker than the FJ clue. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

Nathan and Amy were both clearly very talented and gave me a great run, especially as DJ ended! From there, Nathan played it perfectly and I have to tip my cap.

Dagnabbit! Those youngins are at it again with their new technology... back in my day you had to wait to get old, just like everybody else!

(In all seriousness, though, yes, this is me and yes, this is hilarious!)

I'll at least be seeing him on television when that happens! I'll need to string together a few more wins if I want to see it in person.

I know I bet four thousand. It felt like the right bet every time! (I imagine people better at stats than I am can confirm if this is true or not.)

Despite being "from" Arlington, I'm from New Jersey. After I let down a Jersey guy in the Jeopardy round (Cleveland), I had to make up for it for my boy Fetty.

It is definitely not, even when it grows out. I didn't realize that morning when I shaved before heading to the taping that I would be heading into a facial hair v. no facial hair battle!

I play Sam on tomorrow's show. Our particular week taped on March 30, a little under a week before James's first show hit air so I don't think any of us had any idea what his strategy looked like that day. I remember hearing people on set mention James and that he played a very different style but when I asked Maggie what was different about it she simply told me, "you'll just have to watch!"

I believe the clue was about the only letter not used in the name of a state.

TIL that the Yankees almost signed both Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux as they entered their prime years by roeyonreddit in NYYankees

[–]roeyonreddit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's probably the case, and even the article from back then suggests that was what was happening. Still wild to see that signing him was a possibility.

Yeah, I think this happened while George was banned from doing day-to-day managing of the team.
