ZooeyModeratorYeah, i think that all makes sense. Stafford is the perfect fit with McV because, Stafford will ‘never’ lose confidence. Of all the Ram QBs i’ve watched in my life, I’d say, Stafford may be the most obstinately-F’ing-confident QB I’ve ever seen. It can lead to a Ring, and it can lead to games with 27 INTs. w v
I dunno.
As of now, I believe Stafford has more rings than games with 27 INTs.
You’re probably thinking of your idol, Geno Smith.

ZooeyModeratorI have been listening to the “Fall of Civilizations” podcase on Spotify. Very interesting. Each episode is on a different empire, and there are some EMPIRES I’ve never heard of. I just finished the Aztecs this morning. Most episodes are about 2 hours long.
The next episode just happens to be “Han Dynasty.”
ZooeyModeratorBeautiful garden, zn. I do perennials too. My dream is to someday make my entire backyard into a Japanese garden comprised of native plants.
If it’s made with native plants, it can’t really be Japanese, can it? Or have you moved to Japan?
ZooeyModeratorOne of the native (to WV) flowers I grow is Passion Flower. Its a vine and the blooms are purty cool, if you’ve never seen one.
I love those. I have a white one in my garden. A volunteer. Not sure where it came from, but I’m keeping it.

ZooeyModeratorI have 0.62 acres. A decent sized plot for within the city limits, I guess. More than enough space for gardening.
The soil is red clay and limestone, so we have raised beds with imported soil. I will post some photos sometime, maybe after getting everything planted. One of the major disadvantages of the nursery is that we don’t have time to plant our own garden until late. It should have been in 6 weeks ago, and I’m still preparing the soil. We have some stuff in.
ZooeyModeratorI grow heirloom veggies for the most part. I have around 30 different types of tomatoes, 8 types of cucumbers, 6 summer squash, 2 different pumpkins, watermelon, 2 types of cantaloupe, a honeydew, about 10 types of peppers from sweet to Habenero, 3 kinds of eggplant, 2 kinds of groundcherries, butternut squash, and just about every herb there is.
I grow multiple plants of each variety, so I produce about 10 times what my family eats. At least.
That’s my wife’s compulsiveness at work. She is prone to pushing everything waaay beyond necessary.
But it’s okay. She started a cottage nursery during Covid. She had been growing things from seed for a few years, and giving surplus plants away to family and friends, and during Covid, she decided to go Bold. So for our 3rd year now, we’ve grown about 2,500 plants (from seed), and sold most of them out of our driveway. We also donate around 100 plants (as many as we can!). There’s a church in town with a big garden that they use to grow food to provide to poor people, and homeless people. We grow plants for them, and help them plant them, and harvest them. There’s a food kitchen that has a garden, and a couple of schools/youth programs around that we also give plants to. Our surplus produce we give to another food closet in town. So it’s all good. It’s a lot of work, and more than I would like to do (although I enjoy gardening), but I console myself with the knowledge we are helping a lot of people. That’s cool.
This year was the best for the plants. The weather was perfect all Spring.
The Dodgers have about 2 pitchers right now. Everyone is DL or underperforming, so the Giants are catching the Ds at a good time, looks like.

ZooeyModeratorThe answer to all of your questions is, “16-0, baby!”
That applies even though there are now 17 games each season.
Whatever happened to Old Hacker, anyway? Did he ride off into the sunset on his John Deere?

ZooeyModeratorI thought your point was the quick switch from a tragedy to the sports desk. A sign of the emptying out of sympathy and empathy for a fellow human and her family. Her being two makes the tragedy far worse, of course. I think I just misread you.
Oh, sure. You want me to believe there was miscommunication on the internet. Nice try, Billy, but you’re not getting away with that.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorWell, my point is…where’s the story? What is the purpose of literally ONE sentence saying a 2-year old girl was killed by Russians?
That’s not a news story. It is literally not a “story” at all. It’s simply a one sentence reminder that Russia is terrible. That’s 100% all that is. And now…the sports desk….
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorYou know, this thread seems a little lop-sided against the cops.
Turns out that there’s a good reason for that.

Uh…no.
ZooeyModeratorI plan to visit the practice field this summer.
We would love your observations.

ZooeyModeratorI never saw Jim Brown play, so he might as well be Jim Thorpe. I just don’t know.
I did see him lay down the law in an interview once. Larry King, maybe. He had a lot of game between the ears. That’s all I know.
ZooeyModeratorYeah. JAG.
May 15, 2023 at 8:28 pm in reply to: 2023 schedule & strength of schedule (schedule’s here now) #144172ZooeyModeratorI find reading the options exhausting. What is Sunday Ticket? Does it require a sat/cable subscription in order to pay even more to add it to the monthly package? I looked at the YouTube thing, but didn’t read through it all. A page or two with multiple questions
Zooey, Apologies if you already knew most or all of this already: I really don’t know much about the new Youtube version. But the old Sunday Ticket was started by DirecTV roughly 25 years ago. It was basically the only way to watch out of market games “live” at home. They used to offer it for free to new customers for their satellite package . . . but they almost always gave it to existing customers, too, who threatened to cancel. I was successful at doing that for years, primarily cuz I really meant it. Cancellation for me wasn’t an empty ploy, etc. I could take the service or leave it, and I think their reps could tell. So they’d virtually always give it to me for free, or with a very deep discount, to keep me as a subscriber. There was a running joke-thread on the old board for awhile, where posters would talk about how much they’d get from DirecTV in addition to the Sunday Ticket. Mortgage payments made, trips to Disney, etc. etc. Pretty funny. I think it started because one poster just couldn’t ever get anything from them, so we’d respond with ever more absurd freebies . . . :>) Anyway, all of that stopped not too long after ATT bought DirecTV. I could get Sunday Ticket for free early on, but then they cracked down, and just said “cancel, if you want to.” So I did. Was hoping Apple might win the bidding war, cuz I had a feeling they’d offer it for a much lower cost, and probably for free with a purchase of some Mac product. I doubt Google will do anything like that. It’s just too expensive for me to ever pay in full.
Thanks. I knew it was originally part of a satellite package, but I lost the plot on that. I knew there were changes, but I was streaming the Rams, so I just didn’t track what was happening.
There was never any way I was going to subscribe to a monthly cable/satellite package because I don’t watch much except the Rams. I have an antenna that gets a surprising amount of channels, but I use it only when there is some local news I really want to watch, or a weather disaster, or something. Like…twice a year. I’m not paying $500 a year for some damn service I will use so little that I will never remember what channel is what.
Now it looks like they are trying to get everyone to subscribe to Amazon and Peacock and Satellite and Apple and Paramount+ and Fuckknows in order to watch the goddam games.
I don’t like streaming from Europe on some laggy bullshit link I have to find every week, and I would gladly pay for the privilege of watching a reliable, honest stream, but they’ve just made it a labyrinthine boondoggle. I can’t sort it out.
