She chose the wrong words.
You know…the thing is…even if the sideline reporters didn’t make up the shit the coaches “said,” then all that means is that the coaches made up the shit that the coaches said.
Lost in the media coverage of this is the fact that sideline reporters don’t actually ever say anything of value anyway, apart from injury reports – which nobody needs a sideline reporter for.
Sideline reporters aren’t reporters. They’re showbiz, and the big sin committed here is openly acknowledging that sideline reporters are useless.
No football for me.
A plumber stuck a camera down my sewer line, and found roots. Under the driveway. He told us that it would cost around $4,000 to have a guy repair it.
So I rented a concrete saw and a jack hammer. Dug a hole.
Weird thing: there had been a previous repair. There was a Y piece inserted in this spot. No idea why. The cleanout is about 6 feet up the line from this, and this is in the driveway. The roots had created a knot that filled the pipe, and extended about 6” in each direction. I cut away the knot with a garden trowel, and was rewarded with a “sewage geyser” that shot about 18” in the air.
After the water drained, I shoveled out the sewage. One part of the “Y” was completely broken off, leaving the entire 4” aperture wide open. And I can’t figure this out. Nobody would put a broken piece into a line, but there was absolutely no broken pieces around (in the event the roots actually broke the Y). After pondering this mystery for a bit, I decided that the roots must have broken the Y, and I had probably washed down broken pieces when I had snaked the line previously on a few occasions. But then I realized that the end of the Y would have been capped, and the cap would have been too large to fall through the hall. And it wouldn’t have been broken into pieces. The roots wouldn’t have broken the Y, anyway. They had room to expand up and down the line. It could have cracked the Y, but broken it into small enough pieces to fall into the line? I don’t know what happened here. Total mystery. But it’s fixed now.
J.B. Long@JB_Long Puka Nacua just broke the @RamsNFL rookie record for receptions in… Week 9. 63 and counting for @AsapPuka. Previous mark was held by his teammate Cooper Kupp in 2017 (62).
Nacua has a long way to go to hit the all-time top 10.
These are rookie years, btw. Not all-time season reception leaders. I didn’t make that clear. This graph is for rookie seasons.
