Currently putting together the Patriots, Chargers, Browns and Chiefs, which are the last teams I have write ups for.

Apprehensively looking forward to seeing what I wrote because I barely remember it. I preemptively blame all the other Chiefs fans for not doing it if it sucks.

It seemed like at lot of work. Wasn't there a ton of analysis and a lot of knowledge on fringe players involved?

Also, I assumed it was like WYTS, and I'm not witty, charming, or funny enough to pull off something like that.

Some people went all out with funny stuff or really involved breakdowns of things, I'm pretty sure I just went over stuff you'd know if you were a Chiefs fan but probably wouldn't otherwise unless you're super into football. I'm sure it's not funny but I wrote it while drinking to celebrate real (college) football again so I'm sure I attempted some jokes.

Like I'm said I'm sort of scared to read it again so we'll find out together and I hope Febreeze is free with the edits.

Waaay off topic but the original image reminded me--if you're interested in old WW2 stuff at all you should read Iron Coffins. It's an easy read but really pretty good, kind of in the same way Das Boot is interesting.

Someone in the comments linked the other teams' last 24 QBs and it was certainly enlightening:

Chiefs was some guy named Frank Suerer. It was 1987 but he wasn't a scab like I was originally thinking. He had 2 starts where I assume most of these stats came from, appeared in 8 games that year and one the year before where he had no stats.

pre:
G   GS  Cmp   Att   Cmp%   Yds  TD   Int   LNG  Y/A   Rate   Sk   Yds   
9    2   26    55   47.3   340   0     4    33  6.2   36.9   10    82
That's almost a quarter of the yards he gained through the air given up in sacks. A fitting representative of Chiefs quarterbacking outside of Dawson/Montana really.

I agree Hockey is extremely chaotic and fast paced but I did start having an easier time watching it when I stopped looking at the puck and started trying to look at how the players were setting up

Yeah the easiest way to get into hockey is to trust that the players know where the puck is and watch them react (then ooh and ahh over ridiculous saves or dangles or whatever on replay). Eventually you'll pick up on it yourself and it's easier to find the puck.

e: It's kind of like the advice to take your eye off the ball in football or other sports, except it's almost required at first unless you grew up with the game.

I played organized sports for a good 12 years as a kid through high school, then in beer leagues for at least another dozen years.

I cannot ever remember even remotely needing to poop during a game, or pee badly enough that it couldn't wait until halftime/the next inning/in between periods. Maybe I was just abnormally regular or something.

I tried witcher 2 and iirc the control scheme was more complex than I'd prefer and having to make and use potions a lot to not die got old fast, I only played 10 hours or so. Is 3 better?

Potions are "create once, automatically get them every time you rest" in 3. You'll be frustrated if you just try to follow the main quest, you'll be underleveled pretty quickly. You're supposed to go check out all those places on the map (maybe not all of them, but you do need to do some at first for things not to be a huge pain in the rear end). Oh and run away if enemies are too high for you.

Anyway I did the bulk of the game with nothing but swords and healing/special fight potions, and the odd sign here or there. Switched up toward the end just to check other stuff out and kinda wished I'd done it earlier, but the point is you don't have to be super at all aspects of the game for it to work.
