re: Who are we taking in the draft?

Just take the good news man. Today is a good day
1. As early as possible. We're a hot team and the attendance will reflect that.

2. Bring your own food

3. Anywhere works

I'd go with Fields on this one. Much higher upside and about the same floor

You don't really know what you are talking about. He has 127k followers and offers really good insights for sports betting and fantasy for NFL. I've tailed him and won a couple of monster parlays. So yes, he knows ball. Like I said, take it with a big grain of salt but thought it would be worth sharing. Nice of you to contribute as well.

Rumored Olave trade to Pittsburgh

Posted by txbd on 10/15/25 at 3:50 pm
Take this with a grain of salt but this guy is pretty big and knows ball: Instagram

Apparently we were going to make a deal with the Giants to send them Olave and a 2026 5th for CB Deonte Banks and a 2026 4th.
This fell through because Pittsburgh has offered a 2026 3rd straight up for Olave.

N/S: Apparently AJ Brown on the move to New England as well
Chow Yum has excellent salt and pepper wings
Yep - we use Guys Grocery Games as just something to have on when we're doom scrolling or doing chores.

They have Trey Benson who they spent a 3rd round pick on last year who is really good. They don't really need AK.

Sat at the counter and had an exceptional time! I crushed so many of those cocktails with the sesame in them. I thought it was one of the best drinks I've ever had.

I go to the one off Corporate in BR about once a week since it's right next to a car wash I have a membership with. Extremely solid. Blackened ranch chicken wrap is very good and so are their poboys. Their chicken tenders are better than Canes. Their fried green beans are very tasty as well. Get the blackened ranch to dip those in.

I would only do it if you could keep that 2027 1st, which by all indications is going to be a special class. KTC has the current trade at pretty much even, but personally I would keep the upside of what you are giving away unless you are truly a contender and/or you think this league might fold in the next 2 years.

That’s one way to describe probably the best audiobook narrator.


To each his own. I find him to be extremely monotone, like someone reading out a textbook to a class. Then again, I listened to the audiobook after listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is like switching from watching Football to Golf. For OP's purposes, it was a fantastic recommendation since it's very easy and soothing to fall asleep to.

I'm the same exact way - use it to fall asleep.

I would recommend 'Tress of the emerald sea' by Brandon Sanderson. It's like an adult fairy tale book and is very soothing. I would, of course, also recommend Sanderson's other cosmere stuff, but Tress was the best to fall asleep to.
Red Rising, as someone else mentioned, is also great to fall asleep to because the narrator is pretty boring but it's a great story.
Dungeon Crawler Carl and Project Hail Mary are FANTASTIC audio books but they are almost too good, and will have you hanging on to every word, delaying your sleep cycle.

Second dungeon crawler Carl. Red rising is awesome too no clue how the narrator does. 11/23/63 was also really good too second fav king book behind The Stand.


Personally not a fan of the red rising narrator. I use that to fall asleep sometimes. DCC or Project Hail Mary is the way to go if you want to stay engaged with the audio book without drifting.
Going to piggyback off of this - are there any great star wars audiobooks if we prefer that medium?

I gave it a try because I enjoyed DCC that much but gave up about halfway through. Just couldn't get through it - a lot of it had me rolling my eyes.

I did try Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon though by Matt Diniman (through the Soundbooth Theatre app) and that's been scratching my DCC itch.

Hell yeah. Just bought all 12 books of the Cradle series by Will Wight. Each book was like ~$3. What a steal.
