Same here, and I'm not in the MN market, so it's one of the big selling points for the Sunday Ticket. Irritations like that are often why people (not saying me) turn to less savory means of watching games.

Wentz had a clean game, but really helps that he had the lead, a running game that was working, the defense was playing lights out, and Darrisaw back. I don't think there was enough shown in this game, despite the score, to indicate any reason JJM wouldn't get the job back when he's healthy...

Too late for this game, but if it happens again, can find the original stream again by either switching to the 4-up layout with a Vikings game in it, then click on that if you want it full screen. Or if that doesn't work (or on a browser), view something else (i.e. Redzone, any other game), then...

I do think the OLone has been a bigger issue than it gets credit for as far as reasons for the Vikings struggles. Not that the Bengals' OLine is any better. I disagree a bit about the Vikings defense. It's been maddeningly bend but don't break style, but if the offense was sustaining drives and...

Read an interview with Sanderson where he said this book was intentionally written to be a hard read, and with the attempt to make the reader feel some level of unease as they were reading it. https://www.reddit.com/r/brandonsanderson/s/Y2phRSIHvA I don't know if that is what you struggled...

Books I've finished lately include: Dungeon Crawler Carl (series) - really enjoyed after putting it off, now listening to it on Soundboard (immersive audiobook version). You'll figure out quickly if you like it. Gets deeper/reveals more and more as the series goes on Artemis - liked it, but not...

ID: 109427 I had thoughts of replacing Chubb/Bill with Mason but left it alone. Usually I go 1 QB + a couple late flyers, it cost the same to go with 2 top ones. Probably overspent on PK/DF. Besides the Bill pick, didn't pay a lot of attention to the cheap flyers, I went for a mix of steady...

This was a main reason for using Fantasy Pros the last couple years (Yahoo league). I would spend the time to update all of their rankings to be closer to FBG (and my own) and I felt like it gave me a signficant advantage to have them keeping track of picks so I could focus on my next selection...

I am saying I disagree with the premise it was a gay marriage ceremony or an attempt to put it in. Show their love and commitment to each other as well as the task they have, sure. But not an actual marriage. But having watched the justification for it, and rewatched the scene in question, I...

I watched a couple of the reviews. I'm not really sure I agree that they "pick up on things", at least, not things that really exist. The guy that had read the books definitely just kinda nodded along and didn't provide any real spoilers (yes, and? type interviewing) which is good. And it is...

I fully agree with this - it is an extremely hard story to adapt, and it was always going to be tough to try to do. And it was sloppy at times, for sure. As for animated, bleck. I know some people like it, but I would have been disappointed right off the bat to hear they were going that route...

I actually kinda agree with the bolded re: finale plotlines. I think they could have done better there and wish they'd taken their time. I think fans were mostly ok with them making some changes to the end as TEotW has one of the weaker endings overall, but the execution and choices made were...

Pretty sure this was another casualty of Matt's actor leaving (and having to figure out a way to "leave" him behind). We've seen that there must be another way to enter/use the Ways (which is what Fain is using). I wouldn't be surprised if they use that going forward and kinda "forget" the...

Probably obvious from previous posts, but I'm a bit of a "superfan" of the books. However, I enjoyed the first season, but was underwhelmed by the ending. I really think Covid and the actor for Matt leaving did a number on the final episode (I liked 7), and Amazon would have served the show...

I love seeing Metallica live (one of my favorite shows was them and Godsmack), but that is a lot of money for a show. I might pay that to go back and see them live in the 80s or early 90s, but not sure now. They do have popup shows so it likely isn't their only US show of the year. Watch for...
