I don't think they're giving the chance to call the plays. You're just scripting the opening drive. I don't know the difference, but if they lose yardage on 3 plays, they aren't going to blindly do whatever you said the 4th play is.

Fuck it man, if I'm actually paying money to see Akron play football () and I "win" that contest ( ) I'm going full EA College Football on that motherfucker. I'm telling Moorhead we're running a 4 dig route pattern on first down, all go routes on second down, the triple option on third down, and then a fake punt fumblerooski on 4th.

Here in NH it's all 10% for 87 octane, and I can get it for 3.65. Ethanol free is just over 5 a gallon and is all I use in my non car gas machines. Ethanol is horrible if your vehicle sits.

Yep, and it is why I only use ethanol free in my mower and power washer.

Gotta ask. What percentage of your 'cheap' gas is ethanol? Out here, the cheap gas (around $4.95 - $5.35) has signs saying no more than 10% ethanol. And yes, Costco is almost the cheapest, but has the 10% ethanol label. The 'good' gas is up over $5. Took my Subaru in for service, and guys told me that engines using Costco get fouled up the most. Just asking....

Both the stations I mention are Chevron and "No more than10%" is pretty much the standard everywhere. There are places that you can get ethanol free, like Wawa, but that is always 75 to 80 cents more a gallon.

This gel is ethanol from a tractor carb that hadn't been used in six months. The previous owner couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start...

Out here in Cali, In-N-Out Burger always has a very long line. My favorite is the protein burger (with lettuce leaves instead of bun). Very sloppy, but that's why they make napkins. The other outstanding stop is Chick-Filet, and the lines (both in store and drive-thru) are just a tad shorter than In & Out. Both make quality meals. But my go-to is BK's jr whopper (2 for $6.00).

Geez, rain in SoCal? Thought the song, "Never rains in Southern California" was a true thing, Dubs. Probably showing my age, but Peter, Paul and Mary stuff still resonates, plus Mamas & Papas, and of course, Simon & Garfunkle. Drifters as well (sang Scotch & Soda to daughter to get her asleep). And always enjoy Led Zepplin's Jimmy Page solos. Fleetwood Mac holds a fond place in my heart, mostly Stevie's solos. Not as talented as you guys, to be able to put album covers up....

Woof, my experience with Toyota is that if they don't have exactly what you want, they'll send out a request, and other dealerships will respond with what your specs are. Not sure whether they trade, or just pay for vehicle. But they will work with you to accommodate your requests, though might take a little time. In a fevered market, that won't apply, as too hard to keep cars in stock to sell, but in a quieter market, they'll work with you. PS, wifey has a 2015 Highlander Hybrid, and she has refused a new car several times. Just turned 75,000 miles, but she won't part with it. But you're spot on, dealerships are selling the premium version, as they make more money on the 'extras', and won't stock the 'poor boy' models if they can help it. Good luck. PSS, am not convinced that hybrids get all that better of gas mileage. And when your 'battery deck' needs replacing, will cost you upwards of $15-20,000 to replace it. You might want to get that number before you plunk down your cash.

Getting shoved into a locker by a bad Mets team that sold a bunch at the deadline. Not good.

Wheels came off in the 2nd inning after Garbriel Arias made a little league level throwing error with 2 outs and the #7 hitter hitting. Cantillo walked the #8 hitter then gave up a 3 run HR to the non hitting catcher batting #9 who had 2 HR in 185 ABs heading in.

Gabriel Arias. Step into my off, ,cuz you're fucking fired.

We're starting to hit triple digits. Should be around 107+ today. Not as much humidity as Ohio, but still the heat is oppressive. Heck, even start sweating in my garage, sorting stuff, building boxes for move. Sold golf membership last week, so don't have to play in this heat. But somehow, on the golf course, doesn't seem so bad....

Wish could look forward into time and see what might happen to the Buckeye team. Injuries, personal pathos, whatever. Team actually looks balanced to me, so picking up another player to fill a 'need' can be problematical. As in, who's going to be needed. The frontcourt looks stacked (for once), and the backcourt looks to have some talent as well. Was surprised to see how much height is on the roster. Maybe a 6'7 slasher with enough meat on his bones to help on the boards? Dunno, that's why Diebs is being paid the big bucks.

Combat sports icon, 10-time WWE champ Brock Lesnar retires​

Brock Lesnar has announced his official retirement from professional wrestling -- "and for everything else, too."

The 49-year-old Lesnar, appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday, confirmed that his appearance at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday would be the last of his career. He admitted he felt he was done earlier this year at WrestleMania, when he removed his boots and gloves in the ring, but he ultimately opted for one final Hell in a Cell match last weekend in Minneapolis.

"I'm here today to let the world know [that] I am retired," Lesnar said. "Saturday was a very emotional day for me. It was kind of weird. When Oba Femi slammed me at WrestleMania, I said, 'I can't do this anymore. I think I'm done.' But the business [called], and I still had some fuel in the tank.

"Saturday, for Brock Lesnar, that's it. That's it for me in the squared circle and everything else."

Lesnar's announcement brings an end to one of the most unique and successful careers in professional sports history.

A two-time All-American and a two-time Big Ten champion, Lesnar won an NCAA Division I national championship in wrestling for the University of Minnesota in 2000 before going on to sign a pro wrestling contract.

With his devastating "F-5" finishing move, Lesnar beat Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in 2002 -- just his second year on the roster -- to win the first of his 10 WWE world championship belts. Along the way, "The Beast Incarnate" emerged victorious in two Royal Rumbles (2003, 2022), won the King of the Ring tournament (2002) and won a Money in the Bank ladder match (2019). In 2014, Lesnar stunned the wrestling world by ending The Undertaker's 21-0 streak in WrestleMania matches.

In 2004, Lesnar sidelined his wrestling career to pursue a brief NFL stint with the Minnesota Vikings and appeared in several preseason games before he was released.

In 2007, Lesnar famously transitioned into mixed martial arts, and he won the UFC heavyweight championship in just his fourth bout against Randy Couture in 2008. He retired from MMA in 2015, but he returned for one final appearance against Mark Hunt at UFC 200 in 2016. He was later suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for testing positive for banned substances prior to that bout at UFC 200, and he never pursued another MMA contest.

"I was just a farm kid from South Dakota with a big dream, a big heart and a big-ass chip on my shoulder," Lesnar said. "I'm just grateful to be 49 years old and have been able to do what I did in this lifetime. I thank God and everybody that supported me.

"I want to say to the little kids, I was a little farm kid with a bunch of lint in my pocket. I had big dreams and I just worked. I think a lot of people with social media platforms see athletes doing things and they leave out the hard work. If kids just stay focused on work and putting time in, good things will happen."

Well, all that being said, would prefer to see tOSU #8 or somesuch, as being pre-season #1, means the only place to go is down. But if the pre-season losses happen to be 2 for the Buckeyes, won't be there long. Guess am wishing for a first round bye in the playoffs, and don't really care about who they face. Hopefully Day can keep the team from being complacent and arrogant.

As I look into my crystal ball, and see Underwood getting jerked, wonder how many dollars he'll lose when he goes into the portal....

Well, to me it shows that these 5* athletes, also have 5* brains. Certainly, no one knows how the cards will finally play out, but this is a tremendous start.

Granted. And I'm a sucker for click bait, unfortunately. When see a headline, click on 'the below' and get a whole bunch of ads.....gets me every time.

As he gets older, he'll probably substitute brown rice or quinoa for white rice.....
