My superb owl takes: 1) There’s a great sport somewhere within football, but it’s ruined by truly atrocious game flow and rampant over-officiating. 2) The entirety of any NFL game feels like watching the last two minutes of any NBA game. 3) I hope it’s done before 10:30pm EST.

I’m really excited for the Super Bowl. It means that horrible Kick of Destiny commercial will finally stop assaulting me.

I knew the Wizards were bad, but I’m actually watching them tonight (because they’re playing the Raps), and… yikes.

Look, I’m not a guy who truly understands the nuances of AI. I just know that every time I’ve knowingly interacted with it, the experience has been dreadful. I absolutely hope we’re watching the bubble burst.

Brewed my first pot of the new barrel-aged coffee I picked up from a local roaster.

I’ve been to a lot of sporting events in a lot of different places. Still not sure there’s an experience where the fans are as engaged from opening whistle to final buzzer as Bandits games. (And that’s from someone who is never cheering for the Bandits when I’m in the building.)

I legitimately forgot about UFC tonight. Only watched from the 2nd round of the main event til the finish. Didn’t hate only watching that little. Seems like there was some wacky stuff earlier on the card I should catch up on though.

My heart goes out to all the “Fuck Trudeau” goobers this morning. I’m so sorry that Trudeau has taken such a big part of your identity away. How selfish of him.

A bit different than the desert…

Heading out to camp in the desert tomorrow night, but enjoying the view from the terrace at our hotel for now (until we rent some ATVs and rip through the dunes a bit).

Haven’t posted much lately because I’m over in Morocco. Chefchaouen and Rabat my favourite cities so far. Looking forward to getting out to the desert and exploring.

Last day of work in the books for 2024. Toronto Rock home opener tomorrow night. Flying to Morocco on Sunday. Life is good.

I remember watching Formiga/Pantoja be such an important fight like 15 years ago that it got a Shooto Brazil card streamed on HDNet. What a wild place the flyweight division was from 2010-2012. Very cool that Pantoja managed to outlast everyone, make it to the top, and is still here in 2024.

Not a bad game for the NLL to have on ESPN 2. Barnburner between San Diego and Philly.

Got my first porn bot follower today. BlueSky has truly arrived, folks.

I didn’t use my fireplace nearly enough prior to this fall. I have no idea why. It’s such a delightful addition to even the most boring nights.

I’m not a big shopping mall guy, but wife and I went out this morning to prep for our trip to Morocco. The amount of people absolutely hacking their lungs out in public with not even an inkling that they should wear a mask (or, you know… stay home) is astonishing.

If AI can’t get to Herbie Hancock from this incredibly accurate prompt, what are we even burning the planet for?

Hockey seems so busted sometimes. McNabb gets a penalty for literally the exact same hit that was thrown on his teammate half a second earlier, and then 71 on the Leafs gets nothing for steamrolling the goalie in the crease?

Filing under: Bets I should’ve gone way bigger on, but I’m a moron and a coward.

Ended up streaming UFC on mute last night. Saved me from having to listen to the Trump rally… and generally needing to pay attention to anything but the Do Bronx fight. (Also, great job Keith Peterson for letting Chandler abuse Do Bronx’s brain stem in round five.)

Anyone looking for starter packs? Here is the mother load. They are searchable. blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
