Yeah, I understand that getting another one right away isn't for everyone. It worked for me, though. As for the boxer thing, no reason. I just really loved the first one and wanted another one. And she has turned out to be pretty much more of the same. She's got her own quirks and personality, but a lot of the same mannerisms. Based on my experience with the two boxers I've had, I think I'll always have a boxer. I broke up with an ex about two months before the previous boxer died and later found out that she got a boxer puppy after the break up because of how much she loved my dog. It seems that most people who have boxers stick with boxers, and I totally understand why. And it's not just that this is the only dog I've had. I also have a German shepherd that I got ten years ago and, while he's a great dog, never going to get another one. The shedding is a nightmare and his personality just pales in comparison to the two boxers. I don't know if I'll always have two dogs, but if I do, one will be a boxer and then I'll alternate between other breeds. I'd love to own a Rottweiler at some point.

Sorry to hear that. I found out that my previous boxer had terminal bladder cancer at around the same age three years ago. Never easy. Hopefully you get a couple of months or longer to properly say goodbye. I got the current boxer a few weeks later. Grief sucks, and getting another one really helped me get over it in a way I don't think I would have otherwise.

Took the pup to the nearby dog bar over the weekend. Needless to say, she had a good time. Then we went next door for snacks and wine and brought the dogs. The black and white one is the girlfriend's dog.

This is Zeda.

Peacock is NBC's newish streaming service. No idea if it's US only though.

Yeah I still question the viability of the move but I guess I can kind of see it from the perspective that it's a brand new streaming service that probably not a lot of people are signed up for and they've suddenly snatched up a huge chunk of WWE Network subscriptions by offering those people the exact same amount of content they're already getting plus a whole lot more non-wrestling content for the same price, or even less with ads. They may also win back people who stopped their WWE subscriptions. Hell, I might sign up for the ad version if NXT Takeovers are still included. There are some other shows I like on Peacock like AP Bio that would make it worth it even though I don't watch much wrestling any more outside of NXT.

It says one billion for a five year deal, not per year.

My favorite part of this season was that Homelander was almost on the verge of being a good dad but then Stormfront and the Boys fucked it all up. You could really tell he cared about the kid after he took him home from the restaurant and talked about how scared he was the first time he was out in public, and you could also tell that he didn't want the kid to end up like him. But then Stormfront pushed in with the white nationalist bullshit and the Boys launched their attack and it was gone.

If you accidentally drop a player I think you need to immediately make it known. I was doing a slow form auction draft and accidentally fat fingered a bid. I posted right away in our GroupMe and let them know what I meant to bid and the commish reset the bidding for that player and allowed me to place the bid I meant to. If I had waited two hours, he wouldn't have done so and I am fine with that.

Yeah, nothing really has changed between last night and tonight regarding his players anyway so I don't see why anyone would care.

QB Matt Ryan QB Kyler Murray QB Sam Darnold RB Nick Chubb RB Aaron Jones RB Miles Sanders RB Leonard Fournette RB D'Andre Swift RB Joshua Kelley WR Chris Godwin WR Keenan Allen WR Tyler Lockett WR Cooper Kupp WR DK Metcalf WR Diontae Johnson WR Jalen Reagor WR Bryan Edwards TE TJ Hockenson TE Tyler Higbee TE Hayden Hurst Well, I fucking love that team.

Should work for me. Cutting: Guice Harry Njoku Henderson --- Keeping: Kyler Murray - 15 (3 years)Sam Darnold - 12 (3 years)Nick Chubb - 12 (2 years)Cooper Kupp - 7 (1 years)TJ Hockenson - 5 (3 years)DK Metcalf - 3 (3 years)Tyler Lockett - 2 (1 years)Aaron Jones - 1 (2 years)Chris Godwin 1 (2 years)

9/9 works for me, and I think superflex is generally superior to 2QB so count me in for that change too.

Cutting: Guice Harry Njoku Henderson

To point A, I am fine with that. I just don't see the point of even drafting if we don't have the option to keep the guys we drafted. It's one thing if the season fails, but if it succeeds I'd be pissed if any of the good deals I got in the draft panned out and I was unable to keep them. Another alternative is that we draft and assign contracts, but if the season folds before a certain point, all contracts are pushed back a year. We'd be doing that anyways with the guys we currently have under contract, so I see no reason why we couldn't do the same with guys we drafted this year. It even creates more of a gamble for four year contracts. I'd personally prefer the latter. As to point B, I think superflex is superior to two QB to begin with, so I'm on board for moving that way.

I don't like that. It makes the draft totally pointless. And what happens if the season actually finishes? If you're going to go that route, might as well just suspend the league for a year.

I would say that, if the season is canceled before a certain point, contracts should be frozen. Maybe week six or eight?

Yeah, I think we need to freeze contracts if the season is canceled before a certain point. Also need to figure out win conditions if the season is cut short but enough games are played to reasonably declare a winner.

Also still in.

Vince has always had an obsession with giant dudes who can't wrestle. He still does. If you're 6'6" or taller and can walk to the ring, you're probably going to be WWE champion at some point.

I said over a decade! I basically stopped watching right around the end of the Attitude Era and only started again within the past five years or so after signing up for the Network back when it was relatively new to watch old PPVs from my childhood. I heard some good things about NXT and happened to catch the Takeover where Kevin Owens debuted, Zayn won the NXT title, and then Owens obliterated him to close out the show. Hooked me in. A shame the main roster has been so goddamn terrible for so long, because NXT really shows how smart at least some people behind the scenes are, and how talented the wrestlers can be when allowed to just go out there and work instead of being fed godawful story lines by an seventy year old man who has completely lost touch with what modern fans want.

Literally for ten bucks a month you get not only new PPVs, but access to every WWE PPV, WCW PPV, and ECW PPV (there might be some omitted, but still) ever. Plus a shitload of other content like old Raw and Smackdown episodes, NXT episodes and Takeovers, and plenty of other stuff as well. As someone who isn't much of a WWE fan and thinks Vince has been running the company into the ground for over a decade, WWE Network is actually a really good deal if you like wrestling. I sign up for it sporadically when I'm feeling nostalgic, or just want to watch a particular modern PPV. Not currently signed up, but no doubt will be again in the future.
