I love oreos too much, so I almost completely gave them up

I say “almost” because I allow myself to buy the Halloween ones where the frosting is orange and the cookies have pictures of jack-o-lanterns and stuff on ’em

Your comment reminded me of this meme. Apparently it is a .webp instead of a gif so the picture won’t show in the comment. Click on the link. Honest, it’s not Friday, so it’s legit.

Kind of fortunate the third stringer hurt his thumb. He played a lot better than Teddy.

I like Teddy, but he made some terrible decisions yesterday and still holds on to the ball too long.

That was my sad assessment as well.

Nah, Teddy outplayed him easily. They’d have finished with 3 points if he hadn’t gotten hurt, IMO. Maybe it looked different in person, but Teddy looked way better than Skyler.

Agree he was “managing” the offense better and finding the soft spots and throwing the ball really well. Skyler was more flash than substance imo but he looks like a good player to develop.

One more day of vacation, heading over to Cape Canaveral seashore today. Wife & kiddo will prolly sleep forever today, hot day yesterday, and we averaged walking about 12 miles a day the previous 4 days at Disney. Had nearly 30,000 steps a couple days.

walking all day in the heat is a great way to ensure a good night’s sleep

Someone who watches Kurt Russell Disney movies like “The World’s Smartest Man.” There was a character named Skylar… Its also a gender neutral thing…

Fins sold out to stop the run, they routinely had 10 guys close to the line. I wonder why we didn’t do more to take the top off?

10 out of 15 drives end in a 3 & out. Sheesh.

I was just kidding about him coming here, I’m not overly impressed with Donatello. He may need to go back to Splinter for more training, or maybe bring in Michelangelo to help him.

Also, they designed the stadium so that the visiting sideline is directly in the sun (while the home sideline is in the shade). I’m glad I like the heat, because it was HOT. You could tell the defense was gassed by the end, it’s no wonder they couldn’t stop anything the last couple series.

Vikings fans damn near outnumbered Dolphins fans. Section 120 was fucking LOUD (my section), I have very little voice left. 119 didn’t do anything, we had to pick up their slack. Pansies.

Man, that was a fun game to attend! Hard Rock Stadium is nice, although their traffic system for getting out after the game is horrible. Wow, what a charlie foxtrot.

The Vikes get a road win & the Peckers lost at home to one of the worst teams in the NFL. Man, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Also, Brady sucks. Goat my ass.

Ugly win is still a win.
Today is glorious. FTP lost, Vikings won.
