Speaking of Philly, cheesesteaks suck ****, they need to melt down that broken ass bell, the Eagles are trash-garbage, and the Delaware river kills children.

On NBC Football Night in America there's always a segment with Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison called "Simplifying the Game of NFL Football Sponsored by Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet" or something like that. Basically they use the telestrator to show what happened in a play. They've been doing this segment forever but irregardless it's incredibly awkward every time. To top it off, Tony Dungy always ends the segment by saying something like "Okay that's all we've got for this week," as if he's apologizing for the crappy nature of the segment. Long story short, I don't get why they haven't been able to improve this segment even a little bit in the many years they've been doing it.

They should get Jason Witten to do the segment!

Long story short, the MNF crew is hilarious with Jason Witten not being able to coherently explain anything, Booger on that stupid cart, and whoever the last guy is wondering how the hell he got stuck with Jason. They need to just stick Booger back in the booth. The cart is stupid as ****. Lots of awkward hilarious moments that distract from the garbage games.

Are there any good pre/post-game shows?

When random cheapo chinese items come with crazy packaging.

Bought an off brand charger for my computer because I didn't like the design of the OEM one.

It came in a fitted zippered case.

Inside that case was a velvet drawstring bag.

Inside that case was the tidily packed charger equipped with both a velcro strap AND a clip that could hold the cable.

I mean...nice of them for doing so...but...why?

So you'll think Chinese goods are high quality, even after it breaks and you need to buy another one.

I was thinking the product and its packaging are all produced in the same plant, so they figure may as well ship them all at once.

If they just took the money they spent providing two whole storage methods... They could spend an extra 3 cents on a plug with better stress relief and no sharp edges.

Like, I bought this because the OEM charger doesn't play nice with classroom outlets... But other than the form factor, they seem to have their priorities in the completely wrong place.

Then again, the children who assembled it probably don't have laptops, so maybe they think it is a precious object that needs much protection.
