Weird article with the sourcing. They cited sources who knew of sources close to Belicheck/Blank… So basically a friend of a friend? Typically, sourcing for reporters needs to be direct, not hearsay. Surprised this met ESPN’s editorial standards ...

I like this cheese from TJs too. Does anyone do sourdough? I’ve been for the past few years and find the taste/texture better than when I use yeast. Someone gave me starter during COVID and I have been feeding that sucker ever since. I bought an E-Book from Rosehill Sourdough. Has dozens of d...

re: The Golf ratings are in from this weekend. People still don’t care about LIV

Posted by jimithing11 on 2/7/24 at 6:59 am

Tried watching this weekend but wasn’t a fan of the production. Feels like an exhibition, too, kind of like the Match, where you can watch it for a bit but then turn it off. Hopefully the LIV guys and PGA stars get back on the same courses soon. But in reality, majority of people probably only gi...

Was kind of this way but you’ll learn to accept it and not be in control. My daughter is 2 now, and about 3 months ago, I made her breakfast casserole one morning. About five days later, she was looking for something under the couch and popped up eating something. I asked what it was and she said...
