Pour one out for my first workplace, R063, aka the Towson Apple Store. Disappointed to see my local store closing it's doors. Wishing my friends there the best of luck finding new positions.

It has been my schtick for years to evaluate the latest crop of tight ends in the NFL Draft. This year is no different. Listen in to me and Ken discuss the position at length on his podcast. I'll be recording with Jason to do another TE discussion on his channel in the coming days.

Like I quipped on the platform formerly known as Twitter… I have been quite lazy updating the blog, but I assure you I have lots of ideas in my ideas note that are evergreen and maybe coming soon. Maybe. Earlier in the offseason I joined Byron’s show prognosticating how I’d handle the Ravens offseason. So far it has not gone to my plan, but still worth a watch if you’re curious.

Really enjoyed watching this video about ASML's EUV machines. A bunch of absolutely ridiculous innovations had to be made in order to make this technique work. We owe all of modern computing to these seemingly unreasonable breakthroughs.

I almost always drive when I go somewhere with my wife. But since I had a long day and wanted to unwind a bit I asked her if she could drive as we went to see Wicked with some friends. The timing was impeccable. We’re only about 15 minutes down the road when the news broke. We each responded equally. …

Ever since I published my Fire John Harbaugh post, I thought of him as on a performance improvement plan, or a PIP as folks call it at the 9 to 5. He wasn't going to go mid-season, but might he go at the end of the year? Time will tell. All I know is after watching them find similar ways to win, like tonight's poor clock management decision on the second breakaway touchdown by Zay, I struggle to believe situational football is a point of emphasis of his. We have seen far too many "traditional" football decisions. Silent Steve, it's time to hear your voice.

Spotify Wrapped and thus Apple Replay day is my favorite day on social media, and maybe one of my favorite days of the year. I love to see what people have been listening to. Going into the year, I expected Dream Theater or Steven Wilson to fight for a top spot because of their new albums. They were 2 and 3 respectively and only with their powers combine could they overcome number 1...

Earlier today I recorded with Josh of DolphinsTalk about the upcoming Thursday Night Football game against our teams. It was nice to finally sync up together on his show after interacting in the Bad Faith Times Discord for the last few years. Also I joined my friend Ellen on her show about healing journeys earlier this month. She summarized the conversation well: …

Got invited to do a show with The Ravens Way and had a lot of fun talking about the state of the Ravens. They decided to run it back this year, which I think was a fine choice. Next year will be a big change to the roster with the multitude of contracts expiring. That said, might have a change in the coaching staff too.

The thing they don't tell you growing up about life is this: Life? It's every single day. -Gary Gulman The last few weeks I feel like I have been just treading water. This feeling started with Greek Festival Week (last post was right before then), and I think MAYBE just maybe it is coming to an end. So let's catch up.

The NFL has purposely transformed itself into the NBA over the last couple decades; ideally they want every game, esp every big game between contenders, to come down to the final possession. And that means you must keep scoring. The Ravens did not. Love this quote from Jim’s latest article. One reason I wrote my piece on John is because I don’t think he recognizes this change in how the NFL operates. Check it out!

Please consider donating to my 2025 St. Jude campaign. This year I’m offering photography tips, a bag of roasted coffee, and mini family photography sessions if you’re in the Baltimore / DC area.

If you’re looking for something neat today, look no further than Caleb Denison’s return to YouTube after his legal dispute with his former employer and my appearance on Derek Likes Sports where we discuss the very sad loss the Ravens had with a Bills fan along with other NFL Week 1 happenings. I come in at 48:30 but watch it all!
