Wait, if Hackett is the Village Idiot, what is the owner? Chief Village Idiot?

I recall him being mentioned as a candidate to replace McD. Really. Probably not so much now.

KEF speakers are for the surround sound powered by the Marantz. Sonos are totally independent. I think you’re correct that there is a setting on the receiver that I need to find to get the rear KEF speakers working when we use the TV for music. It’s great when there is music in a movie, but not as good when just streaming music. .

Nope, just have them scattered around the house and run off our phones. I can watch TV w/ surround sound in the family room while the wife listens to music around the house. .

I have a Marantz receiver for surround sound, but I’m afraid to start playing with settings. The Sonos we just control with our phones. I may need to look for the manual and see what I can do without messing things up.

About 5-7 years ago I met a Chief’s fan in a hotel bar in Sarasota. My hotel totally lost power and they had to bump us up to his hotel. He was a great guy and insisted on us connecting and we did drunken things on our phones. He was dying for me to see his box, and I was with my wife. He wanted us for a playoff game! I’ll be damned if I had any clue how to find him, but I know he’s in there. It would be priceless to record him when I ring him up! Remember me? I didn’t like the “over-connecting” then, and I don’t like it now.

Time and space, we know this is all an illusion anyway.

They have partnered with Sports Illustrated to keep afloat. I get it. “Can’t we beat him at a more decent hour???”

Can you give us a description of this goat? How do we know……

I was thinking more like the Nashville skyline with the Batman (AT&T) building, but I want him to surprise me!

What would a Josh Allen drawing of that picture look like???

I noticed the “ESPN” in the top corner. That saved me from clicking.

What shade of blue are we talking about?

My early years were in Hamburg and I went to check it out a few years ago. Very nice little area and I want to go back when I have more time on another trip. Anyway, Colin Cowherd has mentioned multiple times how his wife used to cover Buffalo for her work. She tells him they are the nicest people you will find anywhere. I agree.

It was certainly not for his sliding ability! He looked like a baby giraffe out there. By all accounts he was a very fine young man. People wanted him to do well. He would have been a fine face for the franchise.

Did he have a bad Wonderlic? Was he not great on the white board?

Oh boy! I didn’t know what I was signing up for! Even the summation was an endeavor. [EDIT: And I did not finish] I used to go by Tim Donaghy’s house (disgraced NBA ref) on a semi frequent basis. You never knew it was his house until the scandal. After that the kids toys in the driveway made me sad. It happens. Not on a league level, but do you think some college basketball kid might like to supplement his NIL? On one hand I think it’s odd how the NFL is in bed with gambling, but crushes a player for gambling. On the other hand, I completely understand. .

I have a question, and I’ll eventually get to it. We have Sonos speakers we use for music, and a nice surround sound setup for TV. I’m watching the end of a movie and the music sounds great in surround sound. I notice when we use an app on the TV for music we only get the front speakers. (Finally!) Why is that, and can you change it?

Well, yes, the draft is a crapshoot. That’s not news.

Why do they owe Lamar thanks? Shouldn’t it be shared with the guys who were drafted in the years ahead of him? Why are we singling out Lamar?

Hmmm, so that’s what I’m missing by not watching ESPN.

I don’t think the NFL has any problem picking Black QB’s in the draft (see link). Lamar was a bit quirky in his delivery, as I recall. I could be wrong on that, but I think it was the player, not his skin color. https://wzakcleveland.com/playlist/black-nfl-qb-quarterback-first-round/item/1

How many ashtrays are we under the cap? It has been a LONG time since we have had this quality and depth. I’m sure it’s a combination of selection and coaching with Kromer.

That’s catchy. You should trademark that. I was just there for the orange slices.

I agree, and I am for all good charitable causes. This should not be hard.
