1. I'll just have to hope your bad luck continues.

   1. Both you and ZG have Waller, so that's a good start.

      1. The promising receiver corps I had mid-season fell to pieces, so I feel like I’m trying to land this ship held together by duct tape. But I’m not alone in that this year, and hey, it could happen.

         1. More specifically, OBJ and Dak fell to pieces...but again, much of that this year.

            1. My RB situation has been very fluid this year.

   2. Seconded.

2. Today I would have more than likely been playing with the St. Louis Low Brass Collective's holiday play-along, and tomorrow the Hallelujah Chorus...well, hopefully next year.

3. Talked with a superintendent of one of the Mankato golf courses yesterday, he was saying that they are opening the course and Monday there were only 4 tee times left. Blew my mind away...golfing in Minnesota on the week of Christmas.

   1. I remember it was around 1998 or so I went golfing on Christmas Eve. It was like 55 degrees

      1. Global 👏 warming 👏 is 👏 a👏 lie 👏👏

         1. I'm not certain why this reply makes me laugh, but it does.

4. The Twins are part of some rumors.

   1. I'd be surprised if the Twins made a major move like that, although I've been surprised before. I hadn't heard that they'd released Romero. He still might develop, but he might not, too, and I can see why the Twins didn't want to give him any more time to find out.

      1. I believe I saw he was released to go play in Japan and the Twins got something like $300k in compensation.

         1. I'm not behind The Athletic paywall, but sounds like 'Nando wasn't too smart re: his visa issues last year?

            1. But a league source and a club source confirmed that Romero was turned back at customs in Miami earlier this year after he was found in possession of marijuana en route to spring training.

               1. Surprised Japan would let him in in that case. They're way more hardcore about that kind of thing.

                  1. I guess technically he's not in yet, so we'll see.

      2. He was out of options, and also had months to deal with his `visa` issues.

5. We tried another Hanukkah tradition last night - jelly donuts. It’s going into regular rotation.

   1. We ran a 4M race from Charlottenburg to Olympiastadion the day before my wife did the Berlin Marathon in 2018 (where Eliud Kipchoge set a new world record). You finished the race by running in to the Olympic stadium and doing a lap where Jesse Owens once ran. Cool.

      The finisher prize was a jelly donut (a Berliner).

6. FYI, I already submitted Joe Plauer

   1. They had me at “Justin Moresnow”

      1. "Drew Pearson"

         Because it...pushes off.

         1. Miguel Sanoplow.

7. Kirillingoff the pavement.
