Game 4 is up and can be downloaded from USB charging stations at any NJ Turnpike Service Area. The first two rounds were stellar, including a possible 5-point attempt?? The second half is a tribute to the 1995 Devils except uglier.
Everyone's got a game under their belt now. I can only fit one game in this week, and I've been in touch with two teams. So if I haven't reached out, it'll be at least next week.

Thanks again, Ryan. I am astounded by the creativity and work you put into this, and it's so much fun to play and watch.

Same. Thanks, Ryan.

Never really realized how "metal" the Power Rangers theme song is. I was thinking a knock-off of Judas Priest for a few seconds.

Best relevant theme song, IMO

Damn. Tough night for the Graphic Content team. PDX and I got smoked by Chedda and Pruitt. It was like college football, Oregon State or Colorado State versus Alabama.

Yeah this might have been the equivalent of that first Brady-Moss TD against the Jets when the rest of the league went, “uh-oh”.
Oh, now I recognize the theme song. The visuals really help.

Episode 5 - In which a favorite emerges and I screw up 3 times immediately after saying "I do this once per game". My life has become cumbersome.

No longer feel too embarrassed about our performance on puzzgrid after watching the RayJays and Graphic Content struggle. This one was even more brutal. But I have to say I’m really enjoying the the games and continue to marvel at your game craftsmanship, Ryan.

Catchin up on Episode 5... My 22 year running law school fantasy football league changed the name to Just The Ten Of Us about 15 years ago and we have the Coach Lubbock Division and Bill Kirchenbauer Division. I still would have gone with 8 is enough, though.

Heh, and I just learned on Sunday that the Southern Ocean is a thing now. My kids thought I was an idiot for not knowing that. I got hung up on the second work having to end in C (Southern Cross, Indian Corn, Atlantic City.) I was struggling to come up with Pacific C, but I guess Coast would have worked.
And how did AJ Feeley not make the list of soccer husbands? He married the hottest one!

Not that anyone needs advice from my dumb ass, but having played one and watched 3 or 4... It really helps to get your reps in and understand the brain of the game master here.
Whereas the first game, I kind of rushed into 1 pointer land, watching Ep5, I would've been able to pluck a few 3 and 2 pointers. That soccer wife one was in my wheelhouse, for sure.
Also, is sancarlos in witness protection?

Ha ha. It was light outside when the game started, and I forgot to turn on a light for awhile after the sun set.

Graphic Content should change their name to Sancarlos' catchphrase, "uh...Andy? I got nothing."

Thanks for the other comments as you guys watch the games, by the way.

AJ Feeley is only memorable for marrying Heather Mitts. I was actually thinking Koy Detmer until I looked it up. I knew it was a better looking Eagles backup, and the Mormon thing didn't make sense.

Probably the most attractive of all the women that have come through the US program at some point? Sydney Leroux is up there.
First completely beautiful day here in MD and happy hour that started at 4:30... I begged off after dropping off the wife after a few, but tonight could be a complete debacle.

As I said in the email. We’re throwing up 5 point rock and jock bombs.

I'd love to see someone score a 5 pointer some day. Like... How does that happen, other than when you are in Hail Mary mode?

Lord knows I'm not one to mess with a game format, but if I were I'd move that section of the game to be the last so that someone needing a Hail Mary could benefit from taking that risk. At the beginning of the game it's not really a consideration that's in play.

For AB...
That was a brilliant question and I've heard this song easily 500 times and I should've figured this out.
