re: What are you reading?
Posted by Newkie on 3/24/24 at 6:36 pm
Finished up Red Rising yesterday, and started Golden Son earlier today.
It's been years since I've read, so I set goal of reading at least 10 books this year.
I'm currently on #7. (Tuesday's with Morrie, 1984, The Midnight Library, Project Hail Mary, Confederacy of Dunces, Red Rising). Kind o...

re: Was There Ever a Year You Felt This Franchise Was Hopeless
Posted by Newkie on 6/7/23 at 12:23 pm
Honestly, after Week 2 of the 2017 season, I thought it was over. Coming off three straight losing seasons, and starting off 0-2 that year, I remember leaving the Dome after the Pats beat us down, thinking that Payton had lost touch with the team/game and that it was time to move on from Brees.
T...
re: Dexter (spoilers)
Posted by Newkie on 1/9/22 at 3:12 am
Dexter was the first show I ever binged. I kind of lost track in the previous final season... Watching Michael C. Hall in that role is probably the most fun I've ever had watching an actor portray a character... But damnit, the way this season played out to the end, to me, was perfect. There was som...

re: Jameis led us to another victory
Posted by Newkie on 10/26/21 at 5:15 am
Seattle's defense isn't good, but the Saints WRs are probably worse. Jameis didn't force anything, and in a game like this, doing that could've lost it. I wouldn't give him the game ball, but he definitely had a hand in not losing the game.
With the way the defense played, that was pretty crucia...
re: Anyone getting the Pixel 6 or 6 pro
Posted by Newkie on 10/22/21 at 9:05 am
Getting the Pro version. Had an old Note 9 laying around the house that I can trade into ATT and get $700 off. $10 a month for the 256 deal... couldn't say no to that....
Finally went into an album of his with absolutely no expectations (actually expecting to hate it) and I'm very pleasantly surprised. Right now, it's the first album of his I've liked right away since MBDTF.
Evacuated from Houma for Ida, and came across "Moon" at the perfect moment. Sitting in the...
re: Streaming services

Pretty sure they all offer 7-day trials, too.
I had ATT TV to watch Pelicans games, but have also used YTTV and FuboTV, both of which I like....
re: Scene outside arena in Milwaukee
Posted by Newkie on 7/21/21 at 6:48 am
I've been to nearly every playoff series we've had since the franchise came to NOLA, and, while, gun to my head, I'd pick the Saints over the Pellies, I'd also say that absolutely nothing compares to the atmosphere of a competitive NBA playoff game.
So, yes, I think New Orleans could match what M...
re: DraftKings approved in Louisiana. NOW LIVE!!!!
Posted by Newkie on 7/18/21 at 6:48 pm
Six 1st-place finishers won $758.33, each. From there, the next amount was $200 for 2nd-place finishers, then $100, on down.
The 1st-place finishers had 266.75 pts and I had 259.75... so, so close.
Really can't wait for football season....

Won $50 off the NBA game... Finished 28 out of 7,900 contestants on a $3 entry. Pretty sure I'll never do better... ...

Yep, I know. An Associated Press reporter tweeted the "month or two" info last week. Hopefully it's true, this time.

It's gonna be full-fledged mobile sports betting, so, yes, you'll be able to bet from your phone.
Daily fantasy should be up and running within the next month or two....
re: DraftKings approved in Louisiana. NOW LIVE!!!!
Posted by Newkie on 6/12/21 at 3:20 pm
I don't remember what article I read it in, but I saw last week that the language in the bill had been changed to allowv issuing of temporary licenses to ensure things are ready for football season.
I'll try to find the article, but it mentioned mobile betting possibly going live as soon as July ...

Actually, it's looking like we'll be set up for mobile betting either by the start or middle of this football season....
re: DraftKings approved in Louisiana. NOW LIVE!!!!

Everything I'm reading indicates that we have a very good chance to have sports betting set up either before, or at some point during, football season. Full-fledged mobile betting, too. ...

re: Callaway is what we wanted Tre’Quan to be
Posted by Newkie on 12/25/20 at 8:51 pm
He reminds me of a Lance Moore type of guy. Security blanket most of the time, but could possibly get deep against the right coverage.
On the "should've been an interception," he had his guy beat by a lot. His hustle and presence of mind to break up the pass was impressive....
re: Sean and drew doing the griddy
Posted by Newkie on 12/25/20 at 7:52 pm
Winning cures everything, but this locker room has been amazing the past 4 years.
Sean Payton is a godsend to this franchise the way he fixed things after that 2014-2016 stretch, although you could see the tide turning as the '16 season went on....
re: If the saints win the super bowl this year
Posted by Newkie on 12/5/20 at 9:17 pm
I've always thought nothing would touch 2009, but 10 years removed, it'll feel just as incredible, especially after the last three playoff losses (especially Minny and St. Louis).
As far as season-long fun, I don't think anything will ever touch 2017. It was unexpected, especially after the first...
