I had no idea that there already are city-owned grocery stores. In a bastion of socialism, no less: Kansas.

Aw man, think of the gadgets

The government shutdown is delaying new gadgets

The backlog of products awaiting FCC clearance is growing.

Bills are 1.5 pt home underdogs to the Chiefs.

My cardiovascular system cannot handle another crazy game.

I wish the Bills could bank points from this game for next week.

The Patriots must be stopped.

Torts & Sports @tortsandsports.bsky.social · 4d

We did get lucky on some calls. The offsides one was really close, but noticed by the announcers in-game. I thought the defender's hand was offsides. Ticky tack, but calls like that happen.

Are you really saying Michigan's coach is paying off the refs?

MSU lost to moribund ULCA by 25 points. Come on, man.

Yup which should be relatively low stress. Maryland kinda scares me

Turtle mode still works... against MSU.

A rather boring game, and Underwood had another bad road game, but I'll take it.

Good god, this is why turtling is a bad idea.

I mean, I like smash, but this is a bit turtlish, even for me.

Michigan is getting quite lucky in this game and that's probably the only time I've ever said that.

Okay, at this point I'm really not sure why Semaj Morgan is on the field.

It makes absolutely no sense.

We are getting nothing out of him except bad fair catch decisions, drops, and the occasional 8 yard gain.

Sparty's super bowl. This is probably a game we should just SMASH the entire game.
