1/ For the last 80
minutes l've been on a
fascinating Twitter Spaces (or whatever they're calling them now) with Rhein Amacher, who broke the Talarico story. I was on the call when everyone found out the hospital was flatly denying it. Some interesting nuggets:2/ According to audio he posted, Amacher, who falsely claimed to be a relative of Talarico's, was originally stymied by a hospital worker asking for a
'code.' Later, he said, he made up a four-digit code on the spot and whoever he was talking to accepted that. Also, when I3/ asked Amacher what he did to confirm that what he claimed was true was actually true, he admitted to not having done any after-the-fact factchecking work and pointed to the fact that he's a political advocate, not a journalist, and is therefore held to different standards.

is self-scouting not reporting back to Fleury? or is he just not listening?

super bowl winning quarterback throws two picks, let’s rein it in. two 3rd string running backs with egregious fumbles, let’s give them more carries.

i thought Emanuel Wilson was a stretch to make the team - or should have been - but yeah, two bungling 3rd stringers with Holani trying to be a poor man’s Travis Homer.

literally his worst decision/throw/pick of the season. i’m still team Sam, but that was rather awful.

this is the on-ramp for how you transform into complete Pete Carroll 2015-2023.

i like the running back room. i honestly do. it’s a room comprised of Price and Charbonnet, not 3rd stringers and the Fluery thinking he can scheme a game like they are anything better than that.

i’m so glad they scapegoated Jadarian Price versus Washington in the rain.

Zabel got worked over on the 2nd down sack. not even Bradford or his hybrid replacement.

Brady was a great actor, and should disclaim such acting statements with that’s exactly what you do. except Sam wasn’t actually acting.

correct. the man has no interest in sharing carries and runs his best when he isn’t.

does Wilson now get benched for two quarters to comply with the SOP?

this giants washington game going long to preempt seattle san francisco is just a horrendous policy. making it worse is that Chris Myers called the game, and sunday ticket can’t allow for a temporary lift of the blackout channel. glad it was a tie, and hope that 11 billion award gets reinstated.

i dunno, that looked liked every other snap of the washington huskies defense between 90-94.

if i were Lane Kiffin i’d rather be explaining a loss after a failed 4th and half yard attempt to ice the game than justifying why they felt so confident in Kentucky’s kicker missing another field goal.

it’s also too bad they didn’t spend 3 mil to seal the LSU deal.

my discman had no skip protection - the problems with being an early adopter - and i don’t know if i’ve ever been more envious of something in my life than i was of all my friends who had anti-skip or skip protection discmans. that was like the coolest thing ever at age 15.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
that was my game, and i usually played against the ladies. not because they were so easily beatable with their subpar skills ratings, but along with the Tecmo Bowl halftime show it was the closest i could get to softcore porn at age 12.

analytics giving the same win percentage for a 2-score game as a 3-score game along with declaring a 3-TD lead over and a 3-score game not over makes me think we’ve lost the plot here.

you would port the note balance, rate, and payment terms. any equity from the sale can go towards the new house. underwriting would consist of verifying the value of the new house meets the LTV requirements. an appraisal or appraisal waiver can do that.

my decade old trail shoes gave up the ghost last week while causing a half dozen ailments i didn’t know existed in circling the Three Sisters. i left them with my friend in Bend to burn while drinking a Yeti Stout and playing I’m Gonna Be. he upped me with this and GnR’s Knockin on Heaven’s Door.

yeah, AJ Finley wasn’t lost in the same way i’m not lost by hitting on a hot woman because i completely avoid hitting on the hot chick.

i saw some people get accused of being over-reactionary about the outcome of the game because of that injury. no one needs a FS until you do.

i feel even worse for taking Washington.

speaking nothing to the actual guilt or innocence of Terrion Arnold, i expect charges will be dismissed or reduced to some dumb plea. he’s built to play corner for this defense, but not sure how long the DA will continue their legally fruitless dance of prosecuting him.

secondary was a concern back in june, and a larger one with injuries - highly visible on the backend today with a hesitancy to blitz added to the fray because of a legitimate concern about exposing the safeties. hopefully some health is on the way.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
i’m fine. still think they need a boost on the outside pass rush. secondary depth is a concern, but finding pressure is the best remedy. their self-scouting run-pass playcalling predictability will hopefully be an assist to Fleury.

it would be nice if AJ Finley wasn’t trying to do a Steven Terrell impersonation.

he forgot that the 40 second play clock is actually a 40.5 second play clock, which will forever be a dumb rule.

should have been calling all of those short 2nd down throws on 1st down and running on 2nd.
010
the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
or the decision to make such a low reward throw.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
i just don’t even understand the play call on 2nd and 15 for a 4 yard pass attempt.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
well, that at least confirms he is actually on the field this game.

the gentlemanly drinker @gentlemanlydrinker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
in all honesty, he should not be off to this start given the historical returns on receivers following an all-time year. but, that’s why he’s JSN.

could have been a touchdown if Christian Haynes wasn’t as clueless as Bradford.

was going to argue that First Class Logan, and the Deadpools were solid, but i see he didn’t write them. wasn’t aware he was responsible for completing ruining Jumper - a lot of potential just completely wasted.

a stadium built for one dumb baseball game in wyoming would actually be worth it if trump and media got to Wind River, saw all the feller buncher piles, and acknowledged the forest service does actually “sweep” the floors.

sounds like more of a one-off nationally televised game just so he can trash Liz Cheney throughout the mountain west for a month. certainly not a permanent fixture, because of that old Wyoming wind and snow.

i keep watching this LSU game at a SE louisiana bar and can’t stop thinking they’re playing south carolina. hard to tell the difference actually. go whoever is playing TAMU’s stupid corps is my ethos. unless it’s oregon.
