Tony's outreach to Bobby's family, CM Punk's return, and AmDrag have made him come around a little bit, but he still shits all over nearly everything else because I guess he just needs to keep feeding his followers red meat.

I FINALLY got around to playing Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion with my daughter yesterday. I'll say this much, Gloomhaven would be a million times better if it were setup like Jaws of the Lion. JotL has a complete walkthrough for playing the game through the first five scenarios and it covers everything you would need to know. Regular Gloomhaven throws a 20 lbs. box at you and is like, ok, here you go, figure it out and be sure to bookmark the boardgamegeek forums. The two of us had a pretty good time with the first scenario, even if it was really easy. What's better is that because of that walkthrough, none of the setup felt daunting and neither of us had really any questions. She got the hang of playing it pretty quickly too. This now makes me want to get a setup of paints from Amazon to paint our figurines. So yeah, if Gloomhaven's 20 lbs. box of stuff and $100+ price tag is too daunting, I would say definitely get JotL. You can even pick it up from Target because that's where I think we got it from for Christmas.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssss And welp, guess I'm staying up really fucking late on New Years Eve this year.

Finally got to watch Ted Lasso. I swear to Christ, if Keelie leaves Roy for Jamie, I am going to fucking riot. There is nothing I hate more in TV shows than contrived love triangles. Ted Lasso producers, don't fucking go down that path. I'm begging you. Do the Office thing (when the Office was good) where they teased Jim being jealous when Pam was at art school and then Jim, while driving to see Pam, is like "no, I'm not doing this" and turns around to go back home. Other than that, the revelations about Rebecca's dad and Ted's dad happening at the same time hit me hard considering my own dad died when I was only 17. I don't think I ever mentioned it on here, but my dad died of AIDS and I always looked at his fucking stupidity as him killing himself. I still love and hate my dad to this day. I wish he were here and I'm mad as hell he isn't because he should have been here. So yeah, Ted talking about his own dad hit really fucking close to home. On the more joyful side of things, I'm up to the season 2 finale of Banshee. This series is so fucking good. The end of this season feels like a repeat of the first where Lucas and the gang go on a suicide mission, this time to save Job and again to try and kill Rabbit. Job is so fucking awesome. Job and Sugar together are even more awesome. If there were ever a tournament of TV show duos, Job and Sugar would go really far.

So far, I've been wrong nearly every week about the Irish. This week, I feel pretty confident in saying they'll lose to Cinci. Like, if they somehow beat the Bearcats, then I don't know what the fuck is even going on anymore.

I don't care how bad that Lions loss was. It's not as bad as getting sacked NINE. TIMES. /rooney

The Bears basically had no o-line. I may as well have been out there blocking.

Jesus fucking christ. Fields just got sacked for the 9th time. NINE TIMES

I fucking hate fantasy football. And the bears really suck.

Lol at these Irish fans I'm seeing online thinking we're for real. I'll admit that I don't know how this team is winning, but this team isn't that good. 8-4 should be seen as a massive success if they get there.

College football was vastly different during the eras with Ara, Knute, etc. BK definitely is top 5 in ND history. I don't hold it against them one bit that they haven't won a NC with him. They've been to the dance, but college football is dominated by like the same 2 or 3 teams. But BK's continued success with winning, recruiting, and making coming into South Bend mean something again isn't anything to discard.

Didn't know where to put this, but if you played Fantasy Football then you may have known who Mike Tagliere is. He wrote a ton on it and was an NFL analyst. He unfortunately died from COVID last night. He had been battling it since mid August.

I'm guessing they're going back to a heartthrob.

That was so fucking awesome. We were laughing so much at it. I want a whole animated series based on that universe.

What a cool guy! Glad he has those religious tattoos.
