    A guy emailed in saying he wanted to break
    Up with a friend because he was starting to piss him off. They golfed 36 holes and spent a lot of time together. Kyle said “this seems like a one night sleepover friend. More than that you just start getting annoyed with each other and fight.”

    why is he being so weird about the Rams this year? Did someone rank McVay over Belichick on a list or something?

    Kyle following up with the comment about his LinkedIn profile was gold.

    Kyles been on a heater ever since Big Cat read that awkward text exchange about Russillo.

    Let’s see if Bill is finally off the Carolina bandwagon once they fall to 2-7 coming off a blowout loss to Cincy.

    Didn’t start listening to podcasts until last February, and I don’t hate Simmons like you guys do. But how is guessing the lines an episode, it’s not interesting at all.

    I mean you can stand up but not be in the aisle and avoid your ass in someone's face. What annoys me more is people flying up the aisle and skipping aisles not waiting their turn to get off the plane. I get it if you have a connecting but I see more and more people do it when that isnt the case.

    Posting from airplane WiFi now on my 13th commercial flight in the last 3 weeks and I think over 20 since September but too depressing to count.

    I’m a window guy. Elbows get crushed in the aisle.

    RR is dead wrong. Stay seated until it’s your rows turn. I’ve grabbed my bag from above when sitting in the aisle and thrown it in the aisle to stop the people crowding me but then sit back down. The standers drive me crazy.

    If you are flying into a hub, everyone has a connection. Don’t act like you have to charge up because you have a connection.

    I fundamentally don’t understand the need to look it up and cheat. It’s a fun game with your friend who gives a shit.

    Unless he’s just nervous he’d be so off on actual lines if he actually tried without cheating.

    Oregon hosts Utah and Washington hosts Colorado. Washington State and Oregon State are on the road.
