The HWT we're already trying to run out of town along with his brother.
I was blessed to be able to be seated next to that HWT and his brother for dinner tonight at the hotel restaurant. I didn't bother trying to talk with them because they've had a pretty rough day, and it'll only get worse if they make the mistake of getting on the internet and seeing the terrible takes by "fans." However, I bought their dinner, thanked them for an entertaining season when they came to shake my hand, and told them I couldn't wait to see them back on the mat. Figured it was the least I could do for the hours of entertainment they have provided this year, and if it made their day suck a little less, I was happy to do it.

Is anyone willing to educate me on why the blood round is called that?

We went from reading results in the newspaper or huddling around a radio,listening to matches because the TV only got three channels if the rabbit ears and aluminum foil were turned just right to watching all eight mats at once on a streaming app. Us boomers are pretty darn adaptable!
Please explain what streaming is. I kid i kid

Thank you for your sacrifice. Feeding Davis would've been a nice gesture. Feeding a HWT is above and beyond.

That's what I said to my son. I said I could have saved some money if they were lightweights!

Side anecdote, Bouzakis was at the other table next to me with a Pitt wrestler I didn't recognize. When their check came, he said "I'll just charge it to Ohio St., but they'll probably make me pay it back because I'm a ****-up." It's wasn't said as a joke, and I felt terrible. Something for some folks to keep in mind when they're bashing these kids on forums and social media.

unrelated question - as i sit here looking forward to enjoying today's action, I am being subject to something annoying AF. Beginning yesterday morning, a small bird has decided that he simply must fly into my kitchen window. He is literally tapping on the thing incessantly for hours during the day. Any suggestions for eliminating this behavior, other than trying to shoot him, which would probably result in the death of a neighbor?
I had a Robin that did that at one of my windows. I set a mousetrap on the window sill. Soon afterwards I heard the trap go off. There were a few feathers in the area, but the bird and the mousetrap were both gone, never to be seen, or heard again. 😎

I just took my blood pressure meds with Jameson.
I decided to run my gun store errands during the day. So I was listening to buyers on the radio between stopping here and there sat in a parking lot for a while just I don't know stress stressing out. I went home and took a nap after all that inaction. I mean, sitting there stressing out inaction on my part, lots of action on their part.

And last night with Duke and blaze? Well that didn't help my stress levels.
