    I started watching Little America. I felt ready for some feel good true stories about the U.S. The first two have hit the spot. I hope the rest of the shows are this good.

    Washington Commanders 2025 Season: Expectations

    I think better team w slightly worse record. The real question for me is injuries. We were incredibly lucky on that front last year. We could be better on average, but worse if a position gets a wave of injuries. Can we still be good if we lose 2 starting players on either line or the secondary...

    Yeah that was a surprise. I wouldn't have had her picked in a death pool. She was great on Worst Cooks in America.

    Squirrels Wars (and other pests). And oh, Hi Tarhog and everyone

    About ten years ago, a guy is worked with got fed up with the squirrels in his yard. He went through some epic lengths to get rid of them, but his wife didn't want him to kill them. He would trap them, drive to a local park and release them. He was convinced they were just coming back...so he...

    The 2025 Free Agency Thread

    Am I the only one who wonders how well the international rugby player we signed might help us defend the tush push and other short yardage plays? Even if he doesn't make the team, maybe he can teach the rest of the DL a thing or two.

    The Talent Arrow

    My concern when it comes to moving Coleman in the event of an injury is he is already a player who has never been given time to learn a position. Has he ever played 2 seasons in a row at the same position? I know when he came out last year, one of the concerns was he hadn't played a lot of...

    For another fun book, I just finished Primal Hunter. It reads a lot like Ready Player 1 in terms of an entire book about playing a game. In this game, people are teleported into a "training" world where they level up, get classes and generally progress like a roleplaying game. So you have...

    Daredevil on Disney has been fun so far this season. It finally seems as dark as the original season. He was always my favorite Marvel character as he often questions himself and his motivations. He has rage issues, and he knows it. Yet, he still strives toward the good and just outcomes...

    I am just happy we resigned the two vets i thought we would miss most, at TE and MLB. Now we need a pass rush, a meat head at DT and some OL help.

    Great Movies That Others Might Enjoy, Or Ones To Avoid

    I watched cell 211 this weekend. It is s great thriller movie if you don't mind subtitles. It is in Spanish. It is about a prison guards first day on a maximum security jail. It goes so so wrong. The movie definitely earns it's rotten tomatoes score in the high 90's. That said, I had to laugh...

    I loved his rolls in Crimson Tide and Unforgiven. His roles were always memorable.

    I have to admit, I watched it on a jailbroken firestick. Looking up troypoint.com for how to do it with any device using android tech.

    My favorite series right now is slow horses which caused another to be recommended for me. I know it is only 6 episodes, but A Spy Among Friends is excellent. Furthermore, it is based loosely on a true story of two British spies, Nicholas Elliott and Kim Philby.

    What is Wagner worth to the team? He was great last year as a player and a leader, but he is 34. Age is undefeated over the course of history...but he was still amongst the very best last year. What do you think one more year will cost and should cost? I am torn. To me 34 is still...

    I used this thread on ES for thoughts on what to read next as I try to make every third book or so something to learn from. I can't promise I will be available at a given time to talk about a given book, I will try to read/listen to it. I love hearing others' thoughts on books too.

    I am currently listening to Ordinary Monsters and really enjoying it. Think of it as a period peace about random people with magical skils, a.k.a "monsters," and an effort to collect them for a school in Scottland. Then there is the one who seems to have been corrupted and kills the gifted...

    Great Movies That Others Might Enjoy, Or Ones To Avoid

    I watched Queen and Slim with my two teenage kids (one Black and the other Hispanic). We had an interesting talk about it afterwards and whether their expectations. My daughter was completely fatalistic saying things like, "Well, that's what it's like to be Black in America." Still we did...

    Official Game Thread - NFC CHAMPIONSHIP - Commanders @ Eagles

    I am going to be on a plane during the game trying hard not to spoil the result before I get home and get to watch it. I am even taking off the commanders hat I usually wear to avoid the inadvertent, "tough loss" or "great win!" Odds on making it home without knowing the outcome...maybe 50/50...
