It was on a TV in a bar with no sound or captions, and I had to stop looking so I wasn't sobbing.

It appears to be called Replay, though don't ask me how to find it 😂 I'm a lowly YouTube Music user, which has also ripped off Wrapped

Am I mistaken here, doesn't Apple Music have a version of wrapped now?

The Gazette did a bunch of coverage, rightfully skeptical. They talked to Browning in Sept. 1990: cedarrapids.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?k=ea...

I do vaguely remember him, or others like him, occasionally bubbling up and saying that New Madrid was ready to shake. This one was caught fire more than usual, I guess, because Browning claimed to have gotten lucky on one or more in the past. Thus, media attention, people buying insurance, etc.

Perhaps more fun is the allusion at the end of look-back news story: a reference to the ground shaking. It was also on December 3, 1990 (or the 2nd) that a guy named Iben Browning predicted a devastating earthquake would happen on the New Madrid fault. This did not happen, but it caused a stir!

Inadvertent Vikings watcher here, they're really just up a creek in any case at this point. McCarthy was the hope (not sure why, based on his Michigan career) and that hope is deflating. Should just tank.

Probably would have been targeting on that play by the Iowa tackler but the new definition of the crown of the helmet being a 6 inch diameter from the top is just too small.
