'This kid just won’t give up': Student who practiced alone for 2-plus years ready to answer Arizona State's call for a kicker

How do you practice football alone? Do you get geared up and run into walls? Or push the tackle sled around by yourself all day? Oh, the post has the text cut off, it buried the lead. KICKER... makes way more sense now.

You all ever wonder why the puck is black? I get that it stands out against the ice, but it doesn't stand out against anything else really. I feel like maybe a nice day-glow orange or day-glow green around the rim of the puck keeping it black on both faces would help make it more vis. Especially with the amount of black on the unis of pretty much every team in the league. Or even just the edges of the puck in a high vis color would help. I feel like the technology is there. Maybe the juice just isn't worth the squeeze regarding changing things.

A player named Will Smith has won a World Series ring for five straight seasons
Having a player named Will Smith on your roster may be the easiest way to win the World Series.

Will Smith (not the Sharks player) has won World Series the last five years (actually two different players named Will Smith; one a catcher, one a relief pitcher).

It took me like 2 weeks to notice this and I have no idea how much longer it'll run, but Shout Factory is running a continuous, repeating marathon of Godzilla movies this month, all (as far as I can tell) in Japanese with subtitles except for the inclusion of the US cut of the first movie featuring Raymond Burr.
If I'm not mistaken it looks like the selection of movies runs through most of the Showa era movies from the 1954 original to the mid 70s. From the list on the video's page all that they're missing is Godzilla vs King Kong (licensing issues, maybe?) and for some reason Ebirah, Horror of the Deep which is weird because Shout has like 5 different Godzilla marathon streams going on right now and I know I saw that movie playing on one of them. Also for some reason it has War of the Gargantuas which was done by the Godzilla crew (including director Ishiro Honda, musical composer Akira Ifukube and effects supervisor Eiji Tsuburaya, and co-starring Toho "queen of the monster movies" Kumi Mizuno, who was in I think 4 different Godzilla movies)
OtherShout streams have slightly different mixes of movies, including Ebirah, some Rodan movies, and I think maybe another offbeat title like Varan The Unbelievable, but no later Godzilla ones.

I watched last night's game successfully on that. No subscription, no sign-in. Having previously tried cutting the cord with major time wasters like Kodi, this thing blew me away. I bought the box, I hooked up the box, I clicked on their link to install the software, I was watching content within a half hour of opening the box. It actually took me longer to mash the buttons simultaneously to pair the remote than it did to set the rest of it up.
I don't think this breaks any board rules as it's a legit product you can purchase from Amazon (or directly from the company).
I was hesitant to drop 400$ on what would amount to a glorified fire stick if the content wasn't included... "If it's too good to be true, then it's probably not true." That's not the case here. All the live TV channels. I could have watched the Detroit broadcast on the NHL-games-only channels, but I opted to watch on our local sports network, of which there appeared to be many. I even had the alt feed showing the Sacramento Kings available from the regional sports affiliate. All the other city's CSN's, FSN's and BallySportsNetworks were all there too.
The only thing I didn't see was Amazon Prime Video and AppleTV. But those shows might have been available. There's a couple different "Heat" options for watching non-live content. One of them breaks it down by source, although you can search over all of them, and the other just sort of has things grouped by genre. The Prime Video/AppleTV content might still be in there just not labeled specifically as such. And no CrunchyRoll...
Also, it appears that the option for one week playback is on all the sport-specific type channels, meaning the NHL-live (or whatever they're calling it now) channels, I can roll the guide back and watch previous games, looks like the other sports-specific-subscription type channels have that capability as well.
For my Canadian friends, there's a whole slew of Canadian channels for live TV also.
I'm f***ing flabbergasted at how good this thing is! Considering how much I pay for cable and some subscription services this thing will pay for itself in a couple months. I was even able to pull up "Mike Tyson Mysteries" without all of Plutos incessant advertisements... from what I can tell the non-live content is commercial free.

What makes it different/superior to something like an Amazon Fire stick, which is what I use? I'm currently subscribed to YoutubeTV, Amazon Prime, AppleTV, etc.
If you're paying YT for live TV you can stop paying YT for liveTV. I pay Comcast for Sharks and Giants, I get to stop doing that thanks to this box. Very exciting.
I looked up Ted Lasso thinking that's AppleTV exclusive, it's there. I looked up Vox Machina since that's Prime Video exclusive, I think, and that's also there. So you could stop paying for YT TV if you're using that for live TV and then you could dump whatever subscription services since all that content is available from the box, and so far I've only run into commercials on the liveTV side, none of the subscription content I've watched so far as had any ads or commercials.
Amazon Fire Stick is just something to load subscription services to and watch them via the Stick on your TV. This box does the same thing w/o requiring any logins or subscriptions to be paid. Just the one-time cost of the box itself. From what I've gathered the providers are locking down access based on the boxes' MAC Addresses... This is why I can't seem to install their "Heat" software (what they call their streaming apps) to my Amazon Fire Cube nor a Roku box...
There's myriad regional sports channels and all the flavors of ESPN, so watching NCAA stuff seems breezy. FloSports is on there as well, which replaced AHLtv I think... Fubo Bufo Bufu Fubu all that stuff is on there. All the NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA channels are on there and available as well. Looks like I can catch out of market games pretty easily. And those sport specific ones like NHL-live or whatever they're calling it, those have one week of playback available, which means if I miss the game I can go back and watch it w/o needing to set a DVR etc. Lots of the liveTV channels have a week of playback available. So while you don't get a DVR anything non-sports is gonna be available on some subscription streaming service which will show up on the VOD section of their app... All for not one dime more than the cost of the box itself.

So for sports, do I need to get a separate recording device if I want to watch a game, but I'm not able to watch it at its actual broadcast time? I can see from their channel list that all the normal channels I would watch sports on (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, NBC Sports Bay Area) are on their list, but since it doesn't look like it has DVR functionality, what happens when you want to watch something at a different time?
The one thing I do like about YoutubeTV is that they have a cloud DVR that has infinite space so it's pretty easy to just enter the teams you follow into their system and then all the game get recorded, but there's not much on their TV channels that I ever feel like watching, so for me 90% of everything I use it for is for watching sports.

My research on this shows that certain sports have replay function up to a week.
The NHL channels have the little circle-play icon in the guide. I flipped back a bit and was able to watch previous games but had to find them on the guide by rolling the date back. It looks like the sports specific channels, not the regional sports networks, have the playback-for-a-week situation setup. This meant the playback for the Sharks/Detroit game had the Detroit announcers. You'd need to watch on regional sports network to get the Sharks announcers for that game, which was an option live, but on the playback as it only had the Wings broadcast. I would imagine that some of the games will have the Sharks feed, but not sure how that gets decided.
If it's an ESPN+ game you can just watch it on mute.
There's no DVR, you basically got a week to go watch your game. I don't think you can Join-In-Progress and roll it back to the beginning. I meant to try that last night but got side tracked on No Man's Sky.
You can set up favorite channels as well to avoid needing to sift through the never ending guide.
I got burned by YT TV trying to cut the cord several years ago, I signed up so I could get the Sharks and dump cable... they lost their rights to NHL games or couldn't afford to bid high enough or someshit that year, and I went back to cable.
