Well. Just saying. He was gone from there and his Fox football show since like Oct 6. Sleep well, compadre.

I'm not saying "script" like that...but...come one...I've been a part of something where 5-figures in dollars in cash exchanged hands for someone was paid to keep quiet. That's at the BOTTOM level of society. What do you think happens at or near the top?

The truth won't come to light. Well, it might. But, truth doesn't happen much at that level of government. The "truth" will be whatever story it is the one they created. IMO, the intruder has been given his script, which probably has an ultimatum of money or harm or both. I've seen this stuff FIRST hand at smaller levels. Do NOT think for a second its not common all the way to the top.

But that's the NFL. The Dolphins were going undefeated after scoring 70. The 49ers were going undefeated after running roughshod over Dallas. They lost 3 straight. IMO, here's what it takes in the post season: 1.) Make the playoffs and don't back in on a 2 or 3 game losing streak, or having lost 4 of 6 or something like that. 2.) Be relatively healthy. 3.) Be playing your best/close to your best football of the season. Also, Prescott will play 3 good games in a row, then have a game against a good team and fall apart. Bugs me they haven't let Lance see the field. It's been all Cooper Rush in backup situations.

Conspiracy-theorists are predicting a Chiefs - Vikings Superbowl. Any guesses to why?

North Dakota here. We used to "walk/push" for deer. All growing up, as far back as I can remember, like 1980 through early 2000s....it was walking. Walking corn, sunflower fields in the 80s with large groups of us. Walking shelterbelts (long rows of trees, usually either 1/2 mile or 1-mile), sloughs, rivers, etc. We'd walk like... I dunno... 5-8ish miles a day. All carrying walkie talkies to communicate amongst the walkers and the cappers. Landscape is different here than for many of you. It's trees, sloughs, etc surrounded by wide open land. You kick a deer out of shelterbelt that you walk, and the deer has to cross a large area of open land to get the next area of cover. That's why walking/pushing works. Walking in (exploding) cattails is the worst. For those that have done it, you know why. Then, everything started getting heavily posted. Couldn't really hunt many places. Dad would always say when we were kids "It's gonna get to the point if you don't have your own land, you won't have a place to hunt." It's gotten to that point now. Dad has 2 - quarter sections of land plus another 25 acres. We put up the first heated deer stand in the mid 2000's. Now we have 6. Food plots planted surrounding them. They are about 18-22 feet off the ground. Insulated. Giant windows. 100lb propane tanks on ground below them feeding the heaters inside the stands. We usually go in them around 30 minutes before legal shooting hours and stay until about 9:30 or 10am. Then we go home, visit, go out for lunch etc. Then go back in the stand around 2:30 and stay til legal shooting hours. It's different. That's for sure. My best memories and best stories come from the "walking" days. But with that, came more wounded deer, shooting deer that weren't quite big enough (you have to make a split second decision when one gets up as to whether you are shooting or not). Sitting in the stand, is quiet. You can visit with the other person who is with you. You're 20 feet up, and deer approach from a ways away, so you have plenty of time to change to a whisper and get the windows open to shoot. The thing that's better is, you can clearly judge the size of the deer before pulling the trigger. Also here, we don't call deer "12 pointers, etc". We would say "5x7" or "6x6". Here is my son's 4x4 he shot this past Saturday evening. We got in the stand at 2:30. Shot the deer at 4:05. It was 47 degrees F. So don't think deer don't move just because its warm out. They still need to eat. And if they are rutting, bucks are moving all day and make some really, really dumb mistakes. But yes, as some have said, tracking, contrast are factors with snow. Snow on the ground when you're in an elevated stand makes deer stand out soooo much. Shot at roughly 110yds with a 6.5 creedmoor. Lung shot. Ran about 50 yds, then folded. He was following a doe just prior to getting shot. Broken brow tine, but I still counted it as a point. https://i.ibb.co/19Jrxqq/20231111-164358.jpg

Of course loved ones are top of list. But that's too cliche. I'll go with "other than loved ones". 1.) My flag that I made out of a bed sheet in college. Spray painted it in the dorms. It Said Clinton Perot Madden This was in 1996. Hung it up in Minnesota (Metrodome) During the game, the camera panned over to it, and and Madden goes "Talk about stupid signs". He and Summerall then laughed. I had it in a tote somewhere. Put it there for safe keeping. Haven't seen it for 20 years. 2.) A teacher took a really strong magnet away from me in like 2nd grade. Never got it back. What a bunch of bullsh*t. That's all I can think of.

I use an app called DOFU sports to watch out of market games. I USED to be able to simply plug in to TV to phone with HDMI, and turn to appropriate HDMI input. It used to be whatever was on my phone, showed up on the TV. Now..... when I go from Android (phone) to tv and turn to the appropriate HDMI Input, it shows some oddball android home screen, with "Google" some other odd browser, etc. That's the up part WTF is going on? Any "easy" way to stream from Android to TV?
