Jason Kelce sobs as he announces retirement plan after 13 seasons in...
PAGESIX.COM
Kelce, 36, was the Philadelphia Eagles' sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, and he spent his entire career with the team.I'm not a fan of the man and certainly not a fan of the Eagles, but I gotta give it to him; he was good. And he also made the greatest speech in the history of sports:

All the official download links are toast and if you do have the installer it will fail to find/download it's necessary config files.

Oh hey it's all good! Nothing wrong happened here, guys. It's apparently just the "radical left" making up a bunch of hullabaloo for nothing. The assault had nothing to do with any of it and, guess what? Transgender people don't even exist!
After Nex Benedict’s Death, Oklahoma Schools Chief Defends Strict Gender Policies - The New York Times
WWW.NYTIMES.COM
The Oklahoma school superintendent, Ryan Walters, said “radical leftists” had created a narrative about the death of 16-year-old Nex Benedict that “hasn’t been true.”- 1

It's dumb, but I'm not sure I see the big problem. They're still required to give any couple a marriage license. The marriage is the paperwork. The ceremony is just fluff, right? Doesn't matter if you do it in a church, just have the clerk do the ceremony, or have an Elvis in Vegas do it. Or not do a ceremony at all. Have any officiant sign the certificate and then you file it. Unless this is one of those "slippery slope" things I'm not seeing.

That’s one of my favorite JRPGs.
Yeah I'm looking forward to starting it. I played earlier games in the series but never got around to this one for whatever reason.

FFXIV still because friends.
I also recently picked up Ys 8 for PS5 so I might start that later.

I'm a bit surprised (and happy) to see people praising it's open world/exploration. Remake felt pretty railsy which was really my only knock on it. Looking forward to this.

It sucks, but I kinda get where the hospital is coming from. She's been occupying an ICU room for going on 5 years.
"...a nursing home it found in Virginia after no nursing home in North Carolina would take her."
^^^ Why won't places in NC take her? I wasn't clear on this. It seems like payment isn't a problem.

I'm all in for Super Monkey Ball. Those games are fun as hell.

I have Peacock and it's decent. Paramount+ is one of those services that has a couple shows I want to watch but not enough for me to justify a sub. I'd be jazzed if they combo'd with Peacock because hopefully the combo price would justify picking it up so I can see those shows I'm missing.

Last payment on a big debt always feels good. Like, breathing just feels a little better afterwards.

That's tough. Thinking on it I believe it was Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race and Rogue Squadron II.
Family didn't have money growing up. As a kid all my video games came by way of yard sales and such. As an adult it was a bit into my career before I started making real disposable income, so most of my games were acquired used from Gamestop or via trade. The Gamecube was the first console I purchased at launch and those were the first games I remember getting with it. Prior to that everything I bought was used or had been out long enough to make its way to the bargain bin.

Thanks @Slug for putting this together. Name your game of choice and platform.
Dude! I appreciate you, but that's really unnecessary! I have as much fun running the season as I hope everyone does playing in it.

The dust has settled, the chips have fallen, and all the games have been played! It's time for the final MGT results of the 2023-24 season!
########## Super Bowl Results ##########
Feature Game: San Francisco 49'ers (-2.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are your world champs, beating the Niners by a score of 25-19.5(22-2.5)! Bets on the Chiefs win.QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? 49'ers TD, 49'ers FG, 49'ers safety, Chiefs TD, Chiefs FG, Chiefs safety, or other? ($5,000 for the correct call)
After a scoreless 1st quarter, the 49'ers got on the board in the 2nd with a 55 yard Moody field goal to start the scoring. San Francisco field goal is the call.
2) How many total penalties will be thrown and accepted in the Feature Game? ($5,000 for the right number)
Each team got flagged six times for a total of twelve penalties accepted for the game. Nobody got this one.
3) Which team in the Feature Game will have the most total receiving yards? ($3,000 for the right answer)
Kansas City has 325 total air yards to San Fran's 272. KC is the call.
4) Which team in the Feature Game will win the Time of Possession battle? ($3,000 for the correct team)
It was a pretty evenly played game, but the Niners edged out KC in this category holding the ball for 38:31 to 36:26. SF is the call.
5) What will the combined score be at the end of each quarter? Give us 4 scores, corresponding in order to the four quarters. You will win the Q5 cash for EACH correct answer. See my example answer below if you are confused. ($10,000 per correct score)
0, 13, 23, 38 (even though the final score was 47, Q5 was for the first 4 quarters and does not take into account overtime periods). Commissar SFLUFAN was the only player to get even a single quarter right, correctly calling the 3rd quarter score!
##############################It was a close competition with a tight leaderboard all season. It's a rare thing to have so many players still have a reasonable shot at the title going into the post season and even rarer to have so many players still in the thick of it when the Super Bowl rolls around. Everyone played a great MGT season, but in the end there can be only one. Ladies and gentlemen give it up for your 2023-24 Mock Gambling Thread champion...
...silentbob!
Our champ was in the mix all season, never taking the lead but threatening the whole way. That is, until the Conference Championships when he crashed the top of the leaderboard and held on for the win! Congratulations on a well won season and DM me to coordinate delivery of your prize!

Brown sugar and cinnamon is the best. Followed by frosted strawberry. The rest are garbage.
My friends say I'm wrong and bad, but I like the unfrosted strawberry.
