Someone is loving lying. I mean this was Outside The Lines, generally pretty respectable with fact checking since it was an interview with his dad. https://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/9521439/heisman-winner-johnny-manziel-celebrity-derail-texas-aggies-season-espn-magazine quote:Paul grew up on this course as a kid, the grandson of a Texas oil fortune, which still funds the family. Enough remains to make sure Johnny never wants for anything. "It's not Garth Brooks money," Paul says, laughing, "but it's a lot of money." Still, those piles of cash couldn't make Paul's father pay attention to him. This golf course is where Paul went for peace.

It's public record that his great-grandmother was a millionaire with a trust. He does come from money. How much of his direct family is worth is debatable. I think it's reasonable that members of his family are wealthy, his immediate family wasn't, and that he used his family's reputation to hide the merchandise money.

The Bears' bear logo is pretty asymmetrical and that's okay. Their "C" logo being asymmetrical is not.

Fate Accomplice posted:this looks great, out today: Spent some time with the Switch demo. It's pretty fun! Is there any way to speed up the game though? Like jesus christ I almost finished 2 episodes of Quarterback in the time it took me to do one exhibition game. There's so much dead time spent on TV graphics or watching the football bounce around at the end of a play or waiting for the offense's play call to come in. I like it a lot but games need to take half as long. I'm not trying to spend over 20 hours per season.

Also one of the most surprising things from Quarterback is that these dudes drive themselves and their families to and from games? Driving, especially in traffic, loving sucks. If I ever hit the jackpot I'm hiring a full time driver immediately and figuring everything else out later.

i don't think they really do that. mahomes set up a lot of things as a producer, the head of 2pm productions. he's pretty image savvy and not that genuine of a person. in this world you can't be. not if you're smart.

in real life, patrick retains a helicopter in the slide-open underground bunker at his home which is flown to the police helipad southwest of the stadium. he has a full detail drive him to the stadium from there in case someone tries to shoot him with a gun's bullets. the existence of his state farm branded helicopter is publicly available and it's maintained and fueled in perpetuity by that company as per his endorsement contract with them. shrewd. savvy. patagonian cavy

Android Apocalypse posted:The Bears' bear logo is pretty asymmetrical and that's okay. Is there an "official" reason the winged C is off like that? Like I'd buy if helmet decals were shaped like that so they look right on a curved helmet surface, and if fifty years ago they just grabbed one and went "this is logo." But like it's been pointed out repeatedly, and they've never commented, just kept it wrong for no reason.

I like it a lot but games need to take half as long. I'm not trying to spend over 20 hours per season. Go into the gameplay settings and turn on Skip Huddle and Accel Clock. I set quarters to 5 minutes and games take about 15-20 minutes to play. Setting the sim quarters to 8 minutes seems about right to get the rest of the league's stats to match up with mine. edit: Oh and just as an fyi for anyone, you can get the NFL teams and rosters on their discord in the user-submitted-mods channel. is pepsi ok fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Aug 10, 2023 |
