Road To The Superbowl 2024
@gimruis In gridiron football, a muffed punt is defined as "touching of the ball prior to possessing the ball.” A muffed punt occurs when there is an "uncontrolled touch" of the football by a player on the returning team after it is punted…just saying. Not that it matters… Same result either way.

Road To The Superbowl 2024
That’s a veteran it fan right there - he knows crushing disappointment is coming even though they look like winners through most of the game… Honestly I felt like SF was on the wrong end of some bad bounces and strange occurrences- missed PAT, a McAffrey fumble, a blown Achilles while coming off the sideline, and that punt muff. That’s a ton of big things going KC’s way. Mahomes doesn’t need much extra help.

How to prevent falling out of a boat and drowning.
In the ‘cheap but easy’ addition to your stowed dry clothes, throw in some of the chemical hand warmers in their original packaging. Tucking those in all the pockets of whatever you’re putting on can really help you get/stay warm if you are far from the truck or home.

Wakebait/Rat Hook and Line Size Concerns/Tips
With something like the Cl8 Baby Possum, I keep the stock hooks and fish it on 15 or 17 lb CXX. I have used 20 lb but just didn’t feel like it was needed. The stock hooks are large and high quality and in no way dampen the action of the bait. I think them clicking against the side of the bait may even enhance it. So my summary opinion would be to leave baits that size alone - they are not finesse applications where super detail matters (arguably). They are displacement draws.

Bulk Mono Low Memory
I like Yozuri but it does have some memory. It is also very very strong stuff so the highest lb test I use it in anymore is 8 i think. I really like Suffix ProMix for an inexpensive mono. It handles great.

Campbell may be trying too hard - I get it if it’s 4th and 1 on the edge of FG range but those were two makeable kicks. WRs have dropped a few balls and then that fumble… the wheels on the bus have caught 🔥

Podcast reccos needed
Armchair Experts is an easy one to listen to. Also The Lazarus Heist is another good one - great story, real life, and you might learn something.

Who do you insure your boat and tackle through?
State Farm for me. It is bundled with my home and auto and costs about $7 per month. Our local agent has been great through a few home/auto incidents and happily talks through any questions. I would say it’s like mechanics - find one you trust and hold onto them.

Prettiest Backlash Ya'll Ever Did See!
@bulldog1935 That was back in the days of having two hours to fish before the baby woke up and if you woke the baby getting out of the townhouse with your screwing (not fishing) 8 ft rods you weren’t going fishing, you were taking care of the baby. I rolled light and smooth. (I also rolled on only a few hours of sleep so planning well and coordinated movement wasn’t a strong suit). 😀

Prettiest Backlash Ya'll Ever Did See!
Standing under a bridge near DC fishing a swim bait and hit the bridge overhead with a zealous cast. Broke the bait and irreparable backlash. Day. Over. Whomp whoooomp. stuff happens

Playing numbers/lotto
We do a bunch of scratch offs in our stockings for Christmas. Why? Because it’s fun Christmas morning. Hope springs eternal…

What kind of fish is this critter?
Probably a hybrid striper that’s washed out from being in the tank. Could be an actual striper as well that’s a little discolored and misshaped by the captivity but I’d bet on hybrid.

All clear
Yep this is one of those things that is highly suggested at 45 for men. It’s not hard, but buy good toilet paper. I posted in the ‘What are you drinking tonight?’ thread back a few months ago. The prep is bad. You will be empty. But the procedure itself is nothing. It’s very similar to a pfd - It may save your life.

Road To The Superbowl 2024
Lamar Jackson looks like he’s on a mission. Just unstoppable. No matter who they play next between the Chiefs and Bills, that game could be a ton of fun. The Pack is almost there, just a missed field goal and a bad int on that last drive. Love looks like a keeper. Purdy looked cool and collected on their go-ahead drive; pundits had voiced some concern about his not being playoff-tested. Looking forward to the games today!

Favorite spinnerbait brand?
Obviously OG Terminator Stanley Wedge Revenge My confidence color in all of these is Golden Shiner, especially in the Wedge.

Best Stand Up Kayak
I have a Nucanoe that is almost as stable as my 15 ft boat. I can walk from one end to the other and stand on the bow. As with all things, don’t be stupid. But no one ever takes my advice…😀

The Chiefs seem to have this one in the freezer…maybe the Steelers can get frisky against the Bills

5"-8" Of Snow Tomorrow
Yeah Memphis gets 5 inches of snow about once a decade. Nobody has the equipment to deal with it. Now ice, that another thing they have no idea how to deal with…😀

Houston is definitely a hot team right now - I wouldn’t bet against them except against Baltimore.

That Browns/Texans tilt should be the Cinderella Funderdog Bowl - both those teams are surprisingly competent for completely different reasons at QB.
