We are currently in talks with Twitter for the “Like” function after we claimed it when they recently placed it on waivers. It is a revocable claim though, so don’t get yours hopes up yet.

I dunno. “Like” may have a flashy contact rate, but if you look closer, it has really bad peripherals.
I don't think it'd be worth sacrificing all the
s we'd have to give up.
Worst episode of Black Mirror.
Where's Justice??
Since when was justice as simple as a rule book?
The Bills Ran A Play From Tecmo Super Bowl
Nice. I used that play to win my first ever game of Tecmo Super Bowl against my brother. But yeah, as far as flea flickers go it's needlessly complicated.
I don't think I ever ran that play even against the computer. The Chargers had 4 plays from that formation and 3 of them, the running back went over to that side with the ball, and then there was one normal pass. You could just run the outside linebacker straight up and dive to tackle the running back for a loss before the play developed for those 3 plays. You could also call the running play where the RB faked the handoff and then blitz with the opposite outside linebacker for a big loss on the reverse or flea flicker. If you could get a read on whether it was the reverse or the flea flicker, you could grab the QB before the return toss and force a fumble.
For anyone who might be interested, something the Gettysburg church is doing made our conference newsletter.
That's awesome.
My soon-to-be former church prefers to just blame the young adults for not attending instead of trying to reach out to them.
Nice. My church did a Sunday night service when I was in high school and it really took off. I'd love to see that where I am now too - like Algonad says... something actually focused on trying to reach out to them.
Sounds like pitching coach Garvin Alston not coming back for next year.
Hayes’ (no relation!) longer piece on this news leaves me perplexed. My assumption was that Alston was a hire Falvey & Levine — not Molitor — had made. Hayes points out that
A pitching coach can’t claim full credit for any of that, but Alston certainly seems like the kind of forward-thinking coach you’d want to have around. Given Falvey’s pitcher development background & his role in hiring Alston, it seems like Alston might be the unlucky guy who gets dropped in the act of juggling two compelling internal candidates who didn’t get the manager gig, the desire to give the new manager latitude to bring in his guys, and the stated desire to broaden the cultural competency of the coaching staff. If I were Alston, I’d feel a bit like I was sold a bill of goods.
I think most of the time manager's feel like their top priority on their coaching staff would be pitching coach, so making sure that coach is "their guy" would be a top priority. I think it especially would be the case for a former position player, so he needs someone he knows he can trust since he would be leaning heavily on a pitching coach.
Eddie Guardado and Jeff Smith are reported to be out, too.
People also not coming back next year: Santana and LoMo.
Got some great news from my brother; his bone marrow test came back, and his Dr. in Fargo has released him to head back to Phoenix to finish his treatments there. He's heading to Fertile to visit with family and friends, then heading home to AZ later this week. He'll still have ~8 months of treatment for the leukemia yet, but so far so good.
Great news, indeed!
