Turned on the Ohio vs. Jacksonville State bowl game when I got home, and the third quarter has been a @sickoscommittee.org dream. In a few minutes, we had a shanked punt, a lost accidental direct snap fumble, another lost fumble on the next play, and now a pick.

Good morning from the Casey's near my work, where the staff was blaring "Best Day Ever" by SpongeBob as the guy in front of me bought six hard Monsters shortly after 8 a.m.

I accidentally got dragged into Gamer Gate one night ... because there were apparently two journalists named Schreier, and the other one wrote for Kotaku.

If anyone on this site is looking for a freelance journalist in the Midwest for any project, please reach out. I spent 11 years working for Nebraska and Iowa newspapers doing a little bit of everything before switching careers a couple years ago.
