Big win by the Chiefs. I see a bunch of goals. Good crowd.

Good times. Yeah.

It's December. Can you believe? Oh my.

You know, go Cougs. But I watched during the first intermission, I watched the end of that Cougs game. Let me just confirm.

Yes, we did end up losing to Wyoming. 15 to 14. Only just over 17,000 in attendance there.

Just like I said, I said it looked about half full. Yeah, we got dominated by a two-win team, who, they're now three and nine. We are now eight and four.

They had 342 yards. We only had 285. They had 22 first downs.

Gosh, Jess.

These people are terrible. I don't want to watch them anymore. Piling on, calling Lindsay unattractive, trying to ruin Lindsay and Carl's relationship over something that's irrelevant at this point in time.

They all need to take a hard look at themselves and work on their inner being. Rather than projecting insecurities on to others. Paige, Amanda, and Sierra are mean girls.

🎿Why Winter House might be better than Summer House🏖️

 Watch these shows as well as Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard 🍇 on Peacock 🦚 and Bravo

• It’s fun to see celebrities get knocked down a peg - everyone needs a struggle, some resistance in their life to remind them of all the amazing things we take for granted - Summer House is just pure ecstasy - Winter House is a fair blend of boozin, play, drama, and falling in the snow ⛄️ also being cold can be tough and take quite a toll on some especially 6 foot 3 dudes who weigh under 170 pounds like myself haha 

• Sportz! They do more sports - although I was just rewatching season four of SH and Luke and Hannah were playing tennis and Carl and Lindsay were playing soccer (with Lindsay taking a penalty kick and Carl being the goalie) - also Lindsay finger-banged Carl so that’s kinda a sport haha - they also typically will play some beach football in SH kinda like Top Gun but drunker and less complicated then the weird version on TG - also less denim 

• They stay there a long duration - like season five of SH (the season they filmed summer of 2020, in the heat of COVID) - that was actually a very fun season of SH - really cool how they never left and the house started to seep into their beings as it does on House of Villains and The Challenge and on Survivor how the jungle wears them down - any time the environment becomes a character in the show, it’s a plus (kinda like how NYC is a character in every show and movie that is set in the Big Apple) 🍏 🍎 Washington is the Apple State tho haha 

• Drinking is better in the cold - you ever get sloshed when it’s sloshy outside - it’s wonderful - a Winter Wonderland for adults - it actually combines perfectly with sub-freezing temps cuz the booze warm ya gullet and belly - also the part where it can be slippery out and you have to try hard not to fall over when you are just tryna move forward - classic 

🏖️ Summer House is amazing - probably the greatest show to ever grace our television screens - it’s also the OG installment of the franchise, one that will hopefully one day outnumber Survivor in number of seasons - I just think that Winter House ❄️ could possibly be a more enjoyable, more direct injection of joy into our Bravo-Lucious veins - I recommend all three different versions of the SH franchise as they each bring something fun and unique to the table - enjoiiiiiiiii 📺

Well, good vibe, tribe. We have reached the penultimate episode of Winter House, season one. And I'm already preemptively grieving.

I'm not ready for it to be over. And guess what? We're all still in high school.

Well, Paige DeSorbo's back to school party, that is. You didn't think we could just move on from all that catty drama so easily, did you? The party's still in full swing, and there's even a totally random hookup happening with Lindsay Hubbard and Jason Cameron making out in his room.

That's definitely going to be the talk of the school on Monday morning. But Paige has much bigger problems to deal with than who's hooking up with whom. She has to get to the bottom of what Andrea Denver shout out Denver Nuggets.

I'm personally more than a little thrilled to see this duo back on my screen, especially precious Craigie, particularly considering that season seven of Southern Charm finished airing last February and didn't start filming the upcoming season until a few weeks ago. In the midst of the flurry of introductions, three of the newbies arrive individually.

We've got self-described introvert Gabrielle Neary, whose Bravo Bio declares that she's recently published a book of poetry in between modeling jobs and launching a new line of salsas and marinades during COVID. Then, cool, then there's pretty boy Jason Cameron, a fellow model who juggles working with a youth empowerment non-profit in his spare time. And finally, Andrea Denver.

Andrea, an Italian fashion model and shameless”

It bodes well with Winter House.

And let's do it.

Season three, episode six. Recap. Bye bye, Schwartzy.

Gather around the fire. I got to get in a comfy position here.

Oh, there we go.

Now I'm in that position, that podcast position.

Catbird. Why does that sound wrong?

Yeah, we looked this up a couple of weeks ago. The catbird seat.

It's 8:23 a.m. right now, local. Specific standard time. West Coast, best coast.

All right. Drinking my morning cold brew. And it's my off day.

It's my weekend.

Oh, just chilling, dude.

Getting that good winter sleep. I sleep more during the winter. I'm like a bear.

I don't hibernate necessarily, but some winter nights, I do get like 10 hours of sleep, though. Easy in winter. Summer, I'm up earlier.

But that's just me.

I said, funny how you're like, it was a crazy dream, but I just can't quite grasp what it was exactly. I was there though, and it was good.

It's winter sleeps, dude. I'll be sleeping like a dog in the winter, getting over eight hours of sleep every night in the winter.

Yes, I keep a notepad and pencil next to bed, write down my dreams in the middle of the night. I did not do that last night though.

 “I just slept hard.

I just got like 10 hours at least.

All right, realitytea.com, Winter House season three, episode two. Shiver me timbers. A little recap here.

Season three of Winter House is in full swing. In episode two showed the housemates getting comfortable in their new space in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Vanderpump Rules star Tom Schwartz arrived at the Cher House, and he brought a whole lot of baggage with him thanks to Scandival, who was not there.

Despite being listed as a full-time cast member, Amanda Batula is still absent from the show. She's sick and suffering from norovirus. Kyle Cook and his mullet are missing Amanda so badly that even seeing a jar of olives makes him think of her.

He's lost without his girl, but thankfully there's enough lover boy in the pantry to keep him warm at night. With almost everyone at the house, the roommates throw a pirate party, and that leads to some spicy interactions between the Bravo Leopardies. Here's what went down on Winter House season 3 episode 2.

Here comes Schwartzee. In the Winter House premiere, we learned that this season was filmed just days after the Tom Sandoval”

 “Winter House, season three, episode three. Recap, ski all day, cry all night. In the last episode of Winter House, the cast got way too drunk and dressed up like pirates.

This week, picked up right where they left off, with everyone way too drunk and dressed up like pirates. The only people who weren't dressed like pirates were Alex Propson and Danielle Oliveira. They ditched their pirate gear for a steamy hot tub makeout session.

Meanwhile, Kyle Cook and his mullet were still longing for Amanda Batula, who has been absent for the season because of a norovirus infection. It's revealed in a text that she recovered and would be flying out to Colorado to join the cast ASAP. Thank goodness.

This week, as the hookups in the house intensified, so did the emotions. Episode 3 delivered the season's first hookup, the first ski trip, and the first emotional breakdown. Here's what went down in season 3, episode 3, Xs and Os, kiss and tell.

Episode 3 brought us back into the middle of Danielle and Alex's makeout session. These two are a dynamic little duo, but it's obvious there were no romantic feelings anywhere in this hot tub”

 “Winter House, season three, episode four, recap. Schwartzee and Floody make their move.

Last week on Winter House, Tom Schwartz hosted a party honoring everyone's ex-partners because that's what divorced bros do for fun. That boozy party led to a messy night full of tears and hookups. We left off with Jordan Emanuel hysterically crying over an emotionally unavailable guy she just met.

Meanwhile, Daniel Oliveira and Alex Propson went to bed together for a second night of late night fun. Episode 4 picked up the morning after as the Winter House crew tried to put together the pieces from the night before. Jordan's tears dried, Alex went back to his own bed, and Amanda Batula finally made her way to the house.

Better late than never, right? Wrong. Here's what went down on Winter House Season 3, Episode 4, same name, no game.

The morning after sets in. The morning after the ex's party, the house was once again totally filthy. Danielle woke up and plopped down amongst the slop and started working on her laptop.

Was she glowing from the hookup she had with Alex last night, or was she maybe a little greasy from sitting in”

Saved you a few minutes on the back end. But I run down, hopped in the shower right after this. Still eating my banana, drinking my cold brew.

I don't have a pod boss. I don't have a pod manager who's telling me, I mean, not that my manager's at work. That's what I love about them so much.

They don't really boss me around. I love leaders that just give you the tools to succeed. And then the type of leader that I cannot handle is one who micromanages.

I just need to let you give me the outline and what I need to do, and then just let me like swim around in that playing field.

❄️AFFL Week 14

 Started from the bottom, now Sam’s Town is here - winning 7 straight (knocking off Tenacious D this time) to storm into the second place bye week position, alongside Pink Panthers.

The B Team gets ample production from Darnold and Chase (of the Vikings and Bengals, not of the New Jersey drive-time morning DJ duo) to fly past Trophy Wife. Viking Man snags a playoff spot with huge run game production from his three-headed monster as he buzzes past Spokane Retrievers. Goathouse Squad uses a balanced attack to defeat MT Moose and grab the #6 seed. Hawkeyes gets solid pointage from HIS three-headed RB monster to squeeze by Whammy. Finally, Pink Panthers gets a huge Jordan Addison game (as all our Vikes fans wish they had him) to get by Purple People Eaters.

Viking Man edges out Tenacious D in a close week of pool picks to snag his first fiver of the season.

Good luck to our playoff teams - great season to the rest and keep up that pool pickin’! 

🍫AFFL Week 13

 Sam’s Town keeps the good times rollin’ as he rattles off his sixth straight W, putting away a high-scoring Viking Man with relative ease.

PPE gets a monster MNF performance outta Jerry Jeudy to vanquish Goathouse Squad, who was desperately in need of the victory. Tenacious D snaps their six game losing streak as they capitalize on the three-headed RB approach to stave off Hawkeyes, despite two Broncos D touchdowns on Monday. The B Team gets a much-needed win, sailing past MT Moose thanks to solid TE and K play. Pink Panthers gets just enough from Bills D on SNF to secure the edge over Trophy Wife in a matchup between two first place teams. Finally, in the low-scoring bout of the week, Spokane Retrievers squeezes past Whammy as David Njoku finds the end zone twice and breaks the hearts of fantasy football owners across America, including the Wham Man. 

Goathouse Squad takes the fiver in an amazingly competitive week of pool picks, only missing one game at two points. 

Good luck to all our teams in the final week of the regular season!

☕️AFFL Week 12

 Hawkeyes soars past The B Team as Saquon has a career high 255 rushing yards, the ninth most in NFL history. 

Jayden and Jaylen (Daniels and Waddle) score huge for Trophy Wife as she scoots past PPE and into a three-way tie for first place with Whammy and Pink Panthers. Speaking of, Pink Panthers has a balanced attack led by Tua at the helm to stave off Whammy and create that first place gridlock. Viking Man is right there in the playoff mix now as he is led by a strong run game of Jacobs and Jones (Josh and Aaron) to scream past Tenacious D. Spokane Retrievers gets a solid Texans Defense game to squeeze by Goathouse Squad. Finally, Sam’s Town gets exceptional RB play to continue their hot streak, winning their fifth straight and floating into fourth place in the standings. 

Sam’s Town has good selections and takes their second fiver of the season in this week’s pool picks.

Good luck in week 13 and have a wonderful Thanksgiving - be thankful for football, family, and the AFFL! 

🎅AFFL Week 11

 Sam’s Town narrowly edges out lil bro for this week’s high points as they hand Whammy their second loss and move above .500.

PPE gets a classic Cooper Kupp inferno game to smoke MT Moose for their fourth victory. Viking Man stays in the playoff hunt with a monster Jared Goff performance to squish Goathouse Squad. Spokane Retrievers gathers stellar RB points to fend off a pesky B Team for their third win. Pink Panthers annihilates Tenacious D to stay tied for second place thanks to a first round-worthy game by Amon-Ra St. Brown. Finally, Trophy Wife is your other second place team as Jonnu Smith snags a couple tuddies and Iowa native Jonnu Carson rolls over in his grave cuz the Hawkeyes go down. 

Goathouse Squad logs their second Lincoln bill of the season thanks to an above average week of pickin the pools.

Good luck to all in week 12 - eight teams are definitely still in this playoff race with three weeks to go - PPE and Tenacious D are sitting on the outside waiting for someone to falter - it’s anyone’s ballgame!

🏈AFFL Week 10

 The B Team evens their record at .500 as they put up the big points much to Viking Man’s chagrin after a red hot Thursday gets their week kicked off.

Calvin Ridley finds the end zone a couple times for Goathouse Squad as they cruise past Hawkeyes and to a 6-4 record. Joey Bleach goes huge for Pink Panthers as their record is now 7-3, tied for second place, with a wallop PPE. Sam’s Town is now 5-5 as they make a mad dash for the playoffs, taking their third straight victory led by Jalen Hurts and a strong run game of Chase Brown and James Cook as they nearly double up Spokane Retrievers. Whammy also gains their third consecutive W and a two game lead over the league led by a powerful ground game of Ekeler, Henry, and Kamara to stave off Tenacious D. Finally, in the matchup of the week, Trophy Wife gets just enough from Waddle on MNF in LA to secure a narrow win over MT Moose and a share of second place with Pink Panthers. A logjam exists at 5-5 with three teams tied (Sam’s Town, The B Team, and MT Moose) and only two will make the playoffs (barring an even larger standings shakeup) - key waiver moves and lineup alignment could be the difference! 

PPE snags their second fiver with a great week of pool pickin’ to solidify their lead over the pack.

Good luck to all in week 11 - gear up for that final playoff push!

Whammy also relies on the trio of RBs approach (Ekeler, Henry, and Kamara) to cruise past second place Trophy Wife and to a two game lead. Pink Panthers hands Spokane Retrievers another tough loss as she nabs her sixth win and a tie for second place with Trophy Wife. Achane is off the chain for PPE as he also gets good WR production from Dell, Cupp, and London and drubs The B Team for his third win. Sam’s Town gains his fourth win mainly on the backs of Jalen Hurts and Chase Brown as he holds off DeAndre Hopkins and Goathouse Squad on MNF. Finally, MT Moose moves above .500 with a balanced attack to edge out Tenacious D.

Rich. Shooting Guard, Small Forward, 66, 220, January 20th, 1981. Saginaw, Michigan.

Saginaw Pride, Saginaw Pride, Saginaw Pride. I remember when Draymond Green did that one time, because he's from Saginaw, Michigan. Michigan State.

Shout out Draymond Green. Arthur Hill High School in Saginaw, Michigan. Now I'm thinking, have I done Draymond Green?

I will have to double check that after. Cannot remember. I know I've done Clay Clay.

I don't know if I did Chef Curry, because it's too obvious. He's obviously a Hall of Famer. But I think I did do Draymond a while back.

First round pick, fifth overall pick, 0-1 NBA draft for Jason Richardson. Halloween 0-1 debut, 13 seasons, all rookie, 0-1, 0-2. War number 23, 857 games, 17.1 points per game, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists.

Right-handed. Did not play at all 2013-14 because of injury. Then he came back and played his final season with the Sixers, 19 games, 2014-15.

So, we got first six seasons, Golden State Warriors[…]”

 “Oh, well, the coups lost.

But that's all right.

You know, kind of called it with a Devon Dampier quarterback for the New Mexico Lobos. Amazing runner. Perhaps a future Heisman Trophy contender, as he is a sophomore now, has rushed for over 1,000 yards on the season already.

And let me just specify what what did he do? 28 carries, 193 yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 6.9 yards per attempt, 11 for 25, 174 yards passing, 1 touchdown. John Mater was lights out.

I believe he started 11 for 11. And then he just second half just completely faded. And they just took it to us, second half.

Yeah, so on the season for Devon Dampierre, 138 carries, 1065 rushing yards, 7.7 yards per attempt, 16 rushing touchdowns for Dampierre.

Amazing, dude.

I've never seen such rushing statistics for a quarterback. So there you go. We had Ashton Gentry versus Nick Nash in Boise State, San Jose State.

Showdown of a couple Heisman hopefuls. Ashton Gentry, 32 carries, 159 yards, 5.0 yards per rush, three rushing touchdowns. Also, one catch, five yards receiving for Gentry.
