Well... another NFL season is upon us, so it feels like a good time to drop my yearly "Preseason full NFL Season picks" post.

As a reminder, I've done this every year since 2021, picking the entire NFL season W/L before Opening night.

I met a guy from London yesterday who was excited for the game today. He was really talking up Jude and Kane

I told him I loved Jude, but that Kane is just the Temu version of David Beckham.

I don't think I've ever heard somebody laugh that hard after I insulted their team 🤣

Maybe I'm the only person who finds this interesting, but notice this in the chip aisle at my local @Walmart yesterday.

That unit price "per pound" doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you notice that neither bag has a pound of contents in it.

The small box is an electrical circuit breaker panel - the big box is a mattress. Y'know - two things that traditionally react well to being left outside in the rain for an hour.

Boxes were soaked through and fell apart when I picked them up

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Look at this bullshit... @FedEx dropped these off like an hour ago. The garage overhang is literally 3 feet away - actually a shorter walk from their truck - and would have kept them dry.

I just ate a box of Swedish Fish as breakfast. #Adulting

Today I Learned...

Pink Lemonade is not necessarily strawberry or raspberry. It's usually just food coloring.

Somehow, I feel deceived.

Gonna be about 350 various pepper plants going in the dirt this week...

So, here's a question for the scholars...

If I am the only person in my household, and I decide to eat an entire package of something labeled as "Family Size", that's totally okay right?

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Gotta love this... Trying to order 200 step pavers for a patio from @HomeDepot. When I put them in my cart, the pickup location is correct, but delivery is set somewhere in GA not MA.

When I update my delivery location, the price jumps by 25% per unit without explanation.

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Call me crazy, but maybe shooting 50 3-pointers when you can't quite make 25% of them is not a great strategy...

Holy hell...

At 8:29p ET, John Cena announced "It's time for the Main Event!"

The bell actually rang at 8:54p ET. The rest was commercials, video recaps, more commercials, and introductions.

I'm old enough to remember when PPV/PLE meant no commercials.

Roman Reigns is 265lb?

Cool, didn't realize we had the same physique.

@walmarthelp Why bother? This is an ongoing theme at this location for at least the last 4 years. I have dm'd multiple times With order numbers and store information. Nothing changes

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Glad to see the @Walmart pickup process has not gotten any better in the 6 months since I last used it. 31 minutes and counting since check-in, no more than eight cars in spaces, and at least five more that have come and gone since I checked in.

Ridiculous.

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

47 minutes. 2 and 1/2 hours after I got the text that the order was ready for pickup.

Because "The staging team misplaced a bunch of stuff today"

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Really glad I went inside and bought a whole bunch of frozen food that is now defrosting in the back of my car while I sit out here for a half an hour and wait.

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Regular and Diesel about a mile from my house.

Those electric cars are looking better and better...

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Oh... So close!

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

It's hailing outside. It was bright and sunny a half hour ago.

Get your shit together Mother Nature.

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

@AdvanceAuto Why bother? I just got the same thing on Amazon for $3 more than your clearance price, and it will be on my front porch in 16 hours.

[Big D @BigD_TVF]

Customer service at its finest...

Ordered this stupid little tool from @AdvanceAuto. Found it on clearance and in stock at a nearby store.

Drove 30+ minutes... "Oh sorry, we don't carry that brand anymore, ot's discontinued. But if you want, I have the same thing for $16".
