Despite everything, I’m still me. And there ain’t no me but me. For better and worse.

The fact that there aren’t any more 24 hour H-E-Bs in austin hurts me in my soul

I’m so bad at selling myself, it’s so frustrating. Like, I’m *me*. That’s my upside. But I can’t exactly put that on paper and expect it to work.

All I need is a chance to *show* who I really am.

UGH.

Nick Novak - Wikipedia

Finally, Kaeding was released in October and Novak was the permanent chargers kicker through 2015, and became the best chargers kicker of recent memory, if not all time.

Card is your should you want it. (But if you do, I get to buy you lunch if I’m ever in NYC.)

So the Chargers sign Novak, and he’s fantastic for the rest of the year.

But then Kaeding was healthy again for the 2012 season, and *again* Novak was victim to the final round of preseason cuts.

then Kaeding was AGAIN injured in September, Novak was again signed, and again fantastic…

But there were still games left in the UFL season, and while the chargers were willing to buy out his contract, the UFL rejected it.

He signed for the jets in the 2011 offseason, but was again cut before the season started.

Then Kaeding injured his ACL in the opening kickoff of the season…

So he was on the 2010 chargers preseason roster, but was in the final round of preseason cuts.

So he went to play a season in the UFL, and was great. So great that the Chargers wanted him back in mid-October to solve the problems they were having that led to missing the playoffs…

Hey @jonbois.bsky.social was rewatching Scoragami episode 1, and remembered I had this card you might find interesting.

Funny enough, not only was he caught pissing on the sideline, but he’s tangential to another Dorktown story, the 2010 chargers. (Details to follow)

100% agree with Palmer. The first one was close, but not over the line. The second was a clear penalty.

Some of the radio from this race has been top-notch.

Well to be fair, Yuki may *also* be cursed, in addition to any constructors curse.

.163 off Max. Can’t ask for any more than that from Yuki to be honest.

Im honestly not sure what song I need right now.

But when in doubt, nothing wrong with an old favorite…

<lyrics> <i> Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked </i>, Cage The Elephant (2008) </lyrics>

One of the beautiful things about art is that sometimes an emotion will be expressed in such a way that there’s no other way to express it.

Sometimes a song lyric just means more than it ever could in isolation, yaknow? Thats why I do the lyrics-pseudocode thing. It’s about adding more context.

Cricket is, and I say this as a fan, the softest sport in the known universe.

I don’t know what the proper fix is, but a club shouldn’t be able to do what the twins did yesterday. The commissioner should’ve stepped in. It’s against the Spirit Of The Game.

How does a commissioner look at what the Twins did yesterday and not immediately raise red flags?

I still can’t believe the Astros sold Matt Mikulski, a guy with a career 6.46 era over 225.2 of low minor league ball, for $33 Million lol.

Oh plus Carlos Correa.

Listening to the KPDH soundtrack, I have observed reasons to have severe doubts about the tactical acumen of TWICE.

That’s why you don’t show up late to the second half of play.

The Leagues Cup is a dumb cash grab tournament that means nothing to anybody and seems to be an unintended parity mechanic that punishes the best teams in the league. It’s stupid. It’s pointless. And I hate it. Unless we win it in which case it becomes the most prestigious competition of the year.
