shhh let him cook
alex rubenstein 9:55 AM dan quinn should hire demarcus covington as his defensive coordinator just to have dc be the dc in dc Seth Rosenthal 9:59 AM only if he first gets a chiropractic degree 10:00 dc, dc, dc dc alex rubenstein 10:05 AM in ‘22, both the head coach of tb was tb & the qb of tb was tb 10:08 so quinn should hire covington, and then brady should sell his slice of lv & unretire with the bucs, all for the sole purpose of creating a storyline ahead of a potential bucs-commanders game of “can tb & tb for tb get the best of dc the dc in dc” 10:09 or perhaps “can tb’s tb & tb get the best of the dc dc dc”

as has been decreed by @secretbase it is my modest hope for 2026 that everyone latches onto referring to this impending super bowl as "super bowl lex" to the chagrin of the NFL, and then the next 9 super bowls as lex 1, 2, etc., to further twist the knife.

white text on black background which reads, " first up, Super Bowl LX (pronounced Super Bowl Lex). the easiest way to describe this event is it's a lot like the Olympics but it's just one sport and it takes place on one night and Bad Bunny will be there. watchability score: 13 stars "

good morning from the Dorktown slack room
Seth Rosenthal 9:53 AM craig hodges for his career shot a three point percentage of 0.39985795454 9:54 which is to say craig hodges might hate round numbers even more than alex 9:54 if he'd hit one more three-pointer in his career he'd be above 40 percent 9:54 and then there would be exactly 50 players in the 40 percent club alex rubenstein 10:22 AM one of these days, probably not in our lifetimes, society will focus on the point of all those anecdotes: to recognize the mere fact that there exists a number that someone reached which means X, Y, and Z, regardless of the level of roundness of that number (ie lets say an nba player had a certain number of career games scoring 30+ points, and that number of games wouldnt be a record, but if you change the threshold to 29 or 31, that unlocks a number of career such games that would be a record, who gives a rip? again, the point of the anecdote should be the acknowledgement that there simply exists a number that someone reached more than anyone or whatever, regardless of whether that number is 100 or 94.618 or 61.849)…or that someone has the most or fewest or 2nd-most or 2nd-fewest, etc. of something without feeling compelled to specifically tie it to a round number (ie if someone hits 71 dingers in mlb next season, it should obviously be framed as the 2nd-most anyone’s ever hit in a season as opposed to 1 of 3 players to hit 70+, which is obviously undermining the feat)
