With no QB (or offensive line) the extra receiver is kinda useless, we're just saving money here...

Sure, seeing out the windshield is all well and good, but the *real* reason I remote start my car is to turn on the heated seats and steering wheel. And yes, my mpg is a good 3 mpg less in the winter than the summer...

As an oldster who watched decades of basic cable prior to streaming, the list of 90's movies I've seen many times is pretty long. But I couldn't ever change the channel when Twister came on...
