 Retail merchandisers hate me. I just don't buy stuff until it is an absolute necessity. And I definitely buy stuff I can touch and feel versus looking at it on a computer screen.

How many times do you need to touch and feel it?  Probably 75% of what you can find out you can have sent to your house with a few clicks, it is amazing.

No Prime. No watch. 

I am probably going to do a 30 day free trial on Prime so I can watch the Bengals next Thursday. Then I'll cancel the trial after the game.

I believe a local channel will carry the game next Thursday right?

The last non essential item I bought was a pair of shoes about 3 months ago. I tried on 5 different pairs to find the right fit.

I mean every day items like soap and whatever else you can think of you use every day, Prime has most/all of those things.  It makes your trips out to wherever much easier due to less volume.

On shoes, I go with Adidas.com.  For me, their sizing runs right on and returns are a piece of cake.

I am just different. I love going to the grocery. I always see people I know. And unlike the Saddle Club it is actually a nice sober conversation.

Me too at the grocery but since I have less to do I have more time to catch up with everyone I see inside. 

And not so sober conversations are nice, you never know what is going to come out.

Did anyone watch the game last night? @spindoc @oldgrappler @mcpapa @bugatti @TheDeuce @Jumper_Dad @MJAlltheWay24 @The Raven @CincySportsFan @All State Baseball @DragonFire @futurecoach @Voice of Reason @REALSPORT @ChickenWyngz @PurplePride92 @HoopJunkie @nkypete  @nees1212 

One thing at the start of the game, a Browns' fan smashed a Steely McBeam guitar and as someone that once lost a bet to @spindoc and had a Steely McBeam avatar for a month it made me jump up off the couch in protest, lol.

I thought the Browns were the better team putting them and the Ravens at the top of the division now and the Steelers and the Bengals at the bottom of the division.

I did have a few minor hiccups with the Amazon Prime broadcast last night but I will say beyond that the picture quality may have been the best picture I have ever seen on my 75inch Samsung TV, it was very dynamic and as crisp as anything I have ever see, nearly perfect!

I think Trubisky is a very solid backup QB in the NFL but I think the Steelers need to go ahead and start Kenny Pickett and use 2022 as preparation for the future.

I thought Jacoby Brissett turned in a solid performance and, Nick Chubb, wow, what a beast!

Anyone have any thoughts on any of this or the game?

Missed it on account of I was watching Swamp Thing and Return of Swamp Thing.   Far more entertaining than NFL football.   LOL

I watched.  Not a thing of beauty, except for that catch.

How about the picture quality?

Sorry, late to the party. Spent the day in a tree. It was leaps and bounds better than the game, ha.

There are so many issues with this Steeler squad that it’s a pipe dream to think they all can be overcome. Some of those are: hard to properly expound on the loss of TJ. He’s the best player to wear the colors since Troy and is irreplaceable. Trubisky looked fair at times, then he was regular Mitch. He’s pathetic frankly. He’s no better than a career backup. It’s beyond time to play the rookie. The fact that they piecemeal a defensive secondary is an issue that goes undiscussed. Nothing more than some jokers trying to hang on til the rush gets home and without Watt, it doesn’t and it’s easy to see how bad they are collectively. Minkah is easily avoided when he’s the only dude back there. The offensive coordinator is just awful. And if there is a bright spot, the OL hasn’t been nearly as bad as expected. Bottom line, top 10 draft pick finally next spring.

 

but credit the Browns. They imposed their will. I have more respect for N Chubb than any player in the league. Stud.

Good.   One spinning circle for about three seconds.  No complaints. 

Here is another shot of the catch.
