September is #FASD awareness month & I'd like help you understand the disability. Let's start with the most basic question:

What is FASD?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a lifelong disability affecting the brain & body of individuals with prenatal exposure to alcohol

Friday night we weren't sure if George Springer was done for the series

Monday night he's the hero as he hits the series winning home run.

A script writer could not have written it any better

"Well! Quit talking and replay this homer for me one more time!"

Justin Herbert's 420yds passing leapfrog over 4 people (including Roger Staubach & Neil Lomax) for #99 all time. His 2 TDs move him past 3 players (including former Charger Tobin Rote) for #100 all time

With the #Chargers poor effort Sunday, I wanted to skip Monday Milestones but alas:

Oronde Gadsden broke the Chargers record for rookie receiving yds in a game with 164 (passing John Jefferson's 155 in 1978)

Keenan Allen's 119 yds receiving move him past Calvin Johnson for #36 all time

I just want to say that no matter what happens tonight, it's been a fun season watching this team play

Having said that, GO JAYS! Win tonight and you're in the series! 32 years has been too long!

I don't know but I question it

For example, The Blue Jays are up 2-0 after two innings and they are 76% probability of winning

Please show me a Blue Jays fan anywhere who will state with 76% confidence that the Jays have this game won

So The #Chargers with their injuries still can't beat a good team and I'm going to have to hear about Denver's big comeback for the next week

The silver lining.....

Oronde Gadsden II may be that stud tight end we're looking for #BoltUp

To put the current state of the #Chargers into perspective, we barely beat these guys last week #BoltUp

The director establishes that we're in the 1990s with the subtlety of a mallet across the viewers face by having her crash into a Blockbuster video....mm

Define "perfect ending"

Boo-erg on a Wire @bergonawire.bsky.social · 2d

It's a great straight up comedy. I wouldn't say there's any "horror" in it. There's nothing scary, or suspenseful or gross
