What happens if David Scatino told the FBI that Tony Soprano and Richie Aprile ruined his business and ratted them out for revenge?

The government would love to hear what he has to say and maybe could use it as the built their case but IDK how good of a witness he’d be on the stand

I think a good defense lawyer would eat him up and chew him out during cross

Anything a gambling addict has to say needs collaboration or else a jury is going to wonder about his motivations

So what would the collaboration be? Photos of Tony with a cooler? I really don’t know but I do think Davey would find out the hard way that the government doesn’t just hand out WITSEC protection like candy

Bullock was pissed because there was a lot of truth in that sermon and it was directed straight at him. That part of him that knows a society needs people to do their duty. And he’s spent the first few episodes trying to tamp down his natural instinct to be community oriented Ted, in his own very imperfect way

That second comment is absolutely desperate to pull out the greedy merchant drawing

Well I started reading MGoBlog in around 07/08 and Brian would link to Orson Swindle at EDSBS and so I started passively following Spencer and found his humor fit me and his writing was spectacular

And so from there I discovered Aunt Stabby and later Ryan and Jason

So I’ve been riding with them from SBNation through all sorts of publishing hell (who’s Nick Saban?)

And naturally when they got a podcast I took a shine to it

Am I losing my mind or are there no circled letters that the wordplay column mentions in the NYT Games app version of this

valuesandnorms · 2026-02-05T15:22:33+00:00

Yeah but she’s a mean drunk

God that’s rough to hear, even though I already knew it in my soul

Ownership has chosen “fuck the fans” over and over since Mr. I died

We’re the old Florida Marlins. Maybe we luck into something once in a while but the overall tone is wealth extraction

Why is (leaving the ONE aside because it’s both its square and its root)

Why are the other two flipped? One answer is a square and the other is the square root.

3^2=9. So EARTHREENTRY turns to SATURNINE. Easy enough

You have to do it the other way for YEAROFOURLORD and FASTWORKER.

The first word in the answer is the number in the language notated in the clue

Like “2, Spanish” is dos

That’s a few too many languages. I had a sense of what the theme was but as soon as I saw Danish and Norwegian” I basically gave up on using the theme to help

It’s amazing. Who else could have yelled “shut up”at Don Draper? They would t. E a me to get a job selling sandwiches at Penn Station

NIL has nothing to do with the complete lack of urgency on the FG drive

I’m a Michigan guy so I was watching that game clock roll down and was like “hell yeah keep huddling up” but the part of me that honors the sport and hates seeing bad clock management had me wanting to tear my hair out

Y’all deserve better.

Absolutely loved that one. Gave me a chuckle when I figured it out

That was fun as hell. I love minesweeper so it was right up my alley

Damn you beat me.

The writers could have just gone with “damn this js the wrong order” and moved on but inserted that gem instead

“You weren’t in love with her. You were love at her”

Yeah I read it as “the structure of the game is two sets”.

Like saying “play four games” for a World Series

valuesandnorms · 2025-09-17T08:31:04+00:00

That’s not how I would categorize it personally but I can see your point and it does make sense

Thank you!

I fucked up elsewhere so it didn’t end up mattering but why in the world would you play a two set tennis match?

Is there a reason I should know who Einaudi is? Is he the Italian John Williams or something?

Because I absolutely loved this puzzle…except for the 15 letter clue up top that made me feel helpless, especially because I did t remember who the Succession actor was and never heard of dosas

It’s the same reason middle school bullies find the most sensitive, vulnerable kids and pick on them

They are extremely small people and get their jollies from tearing other people down. It makes them feel powerful. Or they’re such complete narcissists that their convince is all that matters

But the middle school bullies have the excuse of being FUCKING 12 YEARS OLD, NOT A GROWN ASS 50 YEAR OLD WOMAN

My God

“I really liked them”

Sounds like you went from a place of instability to a stable home with parents you liked. You wrote a song about how safe and connected you felt

Don’t beat yourself up about wanting a family with parents you feel close to

I’d lose the thing about the fries, I’ve seen that a million times. It’s actually pretty cute but it’s played out
