PHILLY (Loosely Related to The Philadelphia Phillies)

I've never hated Notre Dame as much as others and I actually liked them when I was a kid because Tony Rice kind of reminded me of Randall (we all look the same to you, don't we Costanza). Also because I hated Miami and they were also rivals back then.

I was a fan of the convicts. We all know who the real convicts were (are).

Alright Juggs, I'm all in. We Are!

I have a buddy, who's last name is Fitzpatrick, who has family in Georgia so he's always been partial to the Bulldogs since he was a kid.

He's also always been a huge Penn State fan for as long as we've known each other (we went to Bloomsburg in the 90's).

And, as all people with similar last names, he's always been a "diehard" ND fan.

Needless to say he's been losing his mind these last couple weeks. lol

I don't think he's made up his mind about who to root for yet. 

Ha! Go Huskies! I dated a girl who went to Bloomsburg from 89-91. I was out there every weekend. I was basically enrolled at Bloomsburg without actually being enrolled at Bloomsburg. Good times.

Nice. I miss that town!

I became a ND fan at 10 years old because after I delivered the Sunday Morning paper, they use to show ND condensed games narrated by Lindsey Nelson.

Fwiw a lot of them went over to Bluesky. But the thing is the facts are there's 18M daily users on Twitter as opposed to like 3-4M on Bsky. All ya can do is keep pulling 2 or 3 people with you over to the other platform. I don't knock them for trying to reach as many eyeballs as possible.

Also - fuck this cold.  Was 'feels like' 7-13-7 the last 3 mornings when I was out running.
How about feels like 106 so I can whine that it is too hot.

Less of an anti-elon thing and more of a Twitter before Elon made it garbage thing. I loved Twitter and why I reflexively still go back to it, but Bluesky's been solid so far - just need more news sources to migrate over.

Podcast of course. I just don't know how they make any substantial money lol. They just raised another $12MM but laid off part of their staff. I will say I thought Renee Washington stunk, though I don't dance on normal people's graves when they lose their jobs. They need a better Phillies crew, I wish the Gelb thing didn't get screwed up.

Suck it up, snowflake.

Johnny Abruzzo

I mean, I didn't set up a BlueSky account either. That kind of interaction is bad for me.

Wob, yes it's absolutely an anti-Elon thing.

Bluesky is actually fine. As soon as they get a notifications feature, I'll delete twitter for good. 

Regarding the "feels like" stuff.....when the fuck did we do away with the terms Windchill Factor and Heat Index? Why is it always "feels like" now?

We're a dumber country. People don't want all that shit. But Google told me the wind chill is 16 today when I asked.

Johnny Abruzzo

Why doesn't it ever "feel" cooler than the temperature in the summer or warmer in the winter?

Macy’s is closing. That really fucking sucks. Was always going to happened but god dammit
