Friday OT - Baby You Can Drive My Car

@Mr Janny and I have an appt over lunch today that requires my car, so we spent an exorbitant amount of time figuring out where and when we would meet so he could drive my car. Because he drives 99.99999% of the time and we both like it that way.

What is your preferred spot in a car? Driver, or shotgun? Or maybe middle-back? Do you have any special reasons - like, I hate riding long distances in the back because I get motion sickness.

2025 WTT

Seeds are out. Wrestling starts on the 16th.

Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X.

Coleman has a small but STACKED bracket. He’ll wrestle Keckeisen first round.

Ian Parker got the 3 seed and he’ll face Ridge Lovett in the first round. That will be a tough one.

2025 NFL schedule release

With the schedule coming out tonight is there a game you are looking forward to?

I will probably go to a game this year, it couldn't be the weekend of a Cyclones home game and will need to have a Cyclone presence on a team.

A few I am considering

49ers at Browns
Jets at Bills
Lions at Philadelphia
Jets at Denver (hoping for same week as CU game)
49ers at Colts
Texans at Titans
Any game in Detroit

Any others standout?

I should add I would like to go somewhere new. GB, MN, Chicago and KC are out.
