Hey so I've recently been craving sport themed Johnlock (Excluding Rugby because it's kinda overused though 100% understandable). Either one could be doing the sport I just wanted something sporty. Preferably long and kinda angsty but just sporty will do-

Hi Nonny!

It's totally okay! Guys with makeup can be super attractive. Crossdressers, too. Go for it. You’re in a new relationship and your partner admits that they have had 14 sexual partners. Does that sound like a lot to you? For me personally, yes. I don't even know if I'd date someone with 14 past sexual partners, honestly. I would admittedly question their loyalty.

Early Picks and Observations

The object of this pamphlet is to give an early see a few games we have just played or are taking a gander at playing. We are giving the data we are taking a gander at to help settle on our choice and so, give you a depiction in time during the early piece of the impairing week.

We need to increase the value of being a full-customer of Vegas Sports Authority. Clearly, giving victors is the Clemson, pants primary concern. Notwithstanding, we have various customers who additionally play their own picks and like to perceive what we are playing or considering to give some additional direction to their own choices. A large number of our customers are sharp bettors who simply don't have the opportunity to pursue 119 schools and 32 professional football crews.

It would be ideal if you understand these are right off the bat in the week plays, climate data, damage information, and different news can make us alter our perspectives and possibly repurchase a bet. Because we have set these bets doesn't ensure they will be an official Premium Pick choice. While Paul and I convey broadly with respect to the coming week's games, we don't generally have a similar assessment or play similar plays. There will be games we have a distinction of sentiment on. A portion of our bets is made fully expecting a line move the other way to offer us the chance to "center" the game by putting a balancing bet later in the week planning to win the two sides.

As usual, remarks and questions are welcome.

Past Week Notes

School

o Those who rebate the effect of a placekicker need just look to Colorado's Mason Crosby who kicked field

objectives of 52, 42 and 50 yards in the Buffs' 23-20 street triumph over Kansas State Saturday. The third of the

three field objectives by Crosby, who will be an accord first-group All-American, came as time ran out.

o Regularly-booked open weeks and an impromptu tropical storm put the South Florida Bulls in an

unordinary, a mid-season spot in their game this Saturday at Rutgers.

On the eve of Saturday's down, the Bulls will have played precisely one game in the past 34 days. While

Rutgers has played five games since Sept. 30, South Florida has played only two.

Does it have any effect on one's way to deal with debilitating the game? Possibly a bit, yet would not

give it an excess of belief. What the Bulls may have lost in timing has been balanced by the mending of those

little knocks and wounds that start to influence most groups this season.

* Much has expounded on Tennessee's fantastically frustrating season punctuated by Monday's

acquiescence of hostile organizer Randy Sanders who succeeded previous Mississippi lead trainer David

Cutcliffe in that job (Cutcliffe was basically terminated at Mississippi this past offseason).

Be that as it may, shouldn't something be said about Purdue?

Purdue was picked to win the Big 10 by various regarded intellectuals, including Phil Steele of Northcoast

Sports, however, limps into Saturday's home game against Michigan State with a 2-6 record and six straight

misfortunes.

The Boilermakers restored every one of the 11 starters from a barrier that surrendered simply 17.2 focuses per game last

year and figured to be one of the country's best this season. Rather, Purdue positions 116th out of 117 groups

in all-out protection (476 yards for every game) and 106th in scoring resistance (33.9 focuses per game).

* Most who pursue school football intently would recognize USC's offense positions among the best in late history, if not unsurpassed. Proof to help this conviction was the exhibition of QB Matt Leinart and WR Dewayne Jarrett in the Trojans' 55-13 triumph over Washington State Saturday.

Leinart was 20-of-31 for three TDs and 302 yards, while Jarrett got seven goes for 138 yards and a

touchdown.

Obviously, these numbers came in the primary half as it were.

o North Carolina State, whose lead trainer Chuck Amato is most likely not house chasing in Raleigh nowadays,

had a hopeless first half in quite a while 21-17 triumph over Southern Miss.

Trailing, 7-0, at the large portion of, the Wolfpack had nearly the same number of turnovers (four) as first downs (five) as

first-time starter Marcus Stone was 1-for-7 for 15 yards and two interferences in the opening two

quarters.

The Wolfpack, notwithstanding, energized for the triumph and kept its bowl trusts alive.

NFL

Losing a game wager harms. Indeed, anyone who wagers realizes you won't win them all. Be that as it may, you truly feel Clemson, pants scammed when "your group" isn't even in the game similar to the body of evidence with the Redskins against the Giants. It was so awful I couldn't watch the game. Gracious, definitely, the Skins were a pick of VSA.

No one jumps at the chance to concede he committed an error, yet Jim Kruger sure made a major one in limiting the Wellington Mara, Jr. passing as a factor. Tiki Barber establishes an individual precedent with 206 yards hurrying. Mammoths cover Washington.

Denver keeps on resembling an AFC power, beating the heck out of Philadelphia. It truly adds to the conviction that the AFC is outstandingly superior to the NFC. The NFC out and about against the AFC has not indicated very well by any stretch of the imagination.

Paul and I don't generally concur with what play to make. A week ago he was inflexible about taking the Houston Texans over the Cleveland Browns. I preferred the Browns. Paul convinced me not to take the Browns. I really had wagered Cleveland from the get-go in the week yet wound up repurchasing my wagers.

I additionally wasn't exceptionally sharp about Paul's Packers pick. Was concerned the Bengals may be madder than a hornet after their misfortune to the Steelers. I pondered time to put the fork in Favre and Green Bay. They lost, however, the significant thing is they secured.

Miami truly put it to New Orleans outgaining the Saints 342 to 203. They likewise scrambled for 188 yards, their best yield year to date, with Brown and Williams both looking superior to anything they have all year. I am having an unpleasant time perusing this Dolphin group.

EARLY SELECTION OF THE WEEK

Meeting USA contestants Houston and Central Florida are positively two of the most improved groups in all of

school football this season.

Falling off a 0-11 demonstrating last season, UCF entered 2005 with a 15-game losing streak (going back to

2003) and that string extended to 17 as the Golden Knights opened this season with misfortunes at South

Carolina and South Florida.

Since the South Florida misfortune, be that as it may, Central Florida has won five of six games and as of now sports a 5-3

record.

After a baffling 3-8 imprint last season, Houston has returned to its Hawaii Bowl type of 2003 as the

Cougars are set for a 4-3 beginning behind the quarterbacking of veteran junior sign guest Kevin

Kolb.

The Cougars are 3-1 straight out and about this season, with prevails upon Tulsa, Tulane, and Mississippi

State. Their solitary street rout this year was in twofold additional time (44-41) at UTEP.

Houston didn't play a week ago and is 10-5 ATS off a bye since 1995.

Paul Stone prescribes laying the 3 and taking Houston in this matchup of improved squads.

Coming College Attractions and bets previously set:

Toledo is generally excellent at home at the Glass Bowl, very human out and about where they haven't secured their last 5 street games. The MAC used to be a gathering with the greatest hole between the top and base groups. The hole is getting progressively limited. Ohio's offense is improving, however lamentably, Toledo lost a week ago to Central Michigan which should mean an engaged exertion from the Rockets. Giving eleven points out and about, however.....

I played a piece on the UNDER in the Boston College-North Carolina coordinate at 44. It ought to be a hard-faced conflict as the two groups are falling off of misfortunes to unrivaled gifts, Va Tech and Miami. UNC is battling to keep its bowl trust alive.

One of the members at my week after week handicappers/sports bettors meeting has a framework that has worked colossally for him the previous two years, around a 75% winning proportion. He picks Northwestern as a home canine over Iowa. Iowa has just found the middle value of 14 ppg out and about this year.

Kruger played the UNDER 54 in the match among Western and Eastern Michigan. EMU has gone UNDER in every one of the 8 games this year and has had a bye week to plan for the WMU passing assault. I won with EMU a long time prior and could be on them once more.

Before you, huge canine players hop on Duke +31 against Clemson, recollect that Duke is 0-8 ATS this year and that Clemson has vengeance for losing straight-up a year ago to a group that was just 2-9.

Likewise intriguing to note is Arkansas being a four-point most loved to a South Carolina group that simply beat Tennessee  Clemson, pants at home and has won three straight. Additionally, the Gamecocks are hoping to progress toward becoming bowl-qualified with their next triumph. Is the lines creator revealing to us something? For my bucks, it is Arkansas or nothing.

I hopped on Penn State when the line initially turned out at less ten. Joe Pa's group is resembling the class of the Big Ten and this could be the week to uncover the Wisconsin Badgers as the group they truly seem to be.

NFL this week:

A fascinating point was raised two or three weeks back at the handicappers meeting I go to each Tuesday in that generally it is a triumphant recommendation to play on groups at the midpoint that are 2-6 SU or more awful and to play against the groups that are 6-2 or better straight up. Try not to review the triumphant rate however it was higher than 54%.

Detroit at Minnesota - You don't get the Vikings as a home pooch frequently. Particularly to the Detroit Lions! Minnesota gets another motivation to energize, bunch together, and give a solid appearing. This time it is losing your long-lasting QB Culpepper to wounds. Truth be told, the Vikes have just been a home pooch multiple times in the course of the most recent five years. They've posted a decent 6-2 ATS record when in such a circumstance. A decent circumstance to wager on is a group that did frightfully out and about the earlier week and now return home. Detroit is 29th in all-out offense. In the last two games behind QB Garcia, they have just scored 13 points in each game. Minny has improved at home, we have played the Vikings softly now. for more about Clemson, pants visit our site

Continuing my Misfits freakout after having seen the best episode of the series Season 3 Episode 3, I just had some thoughts about television in general, mainly nostalgic feels and other nonsense about my emotional and obsessive love for tv 

Cue nonsense below: 

So the year I really got obsessed invested in television was around 2010/2011 when I was just turned 13 and being a weird antisocial kid in middle school. For some reason, watching Misfits this past month and experiencing All The Emotions™ really brought me back to when I first started loving television and that 2009-2013 era of television that I loved so much.

My first real show was Glee, which I started during the season 2B in 2010. At the time I was also watching Bones in 2010 (all out of order) and also started watching Pretty Little Liars in 2010. I really spiraled out of control when I started watching Elementary in 2011 (yup I started from THE BEGINNING), Modern Family in 2012, The Good Wife in 2012, Hawaii Five-O in 2012, Lost in the summer of 2012, Battlestar Galactica in 2013 (and probably some other show I’m forgetting?). Oh and let’s not forget all the Disney Channel shows I still watched lol. Don’t believe me? Go through my old posts. Actually please don’t. 

But it still makes me feel nostalgic when I remember watching a lot of these shows during middle school/beginning of high school. It still boggles my mind that at that age, I was able to understand complex shows TGW elementary Lost BSG etc. Or maybe I didn’t understand them. But I sure went through The Emotions. It was probably because at that age, I was still “finding myself” or at that age where I was really anti-social and started thinking of Bigger Things in life or something. And so many of those shows (Elementary, BSG, and LOST in particular) were so character driven that I was immediately captivated by the stories they told. And BSG and LOST really drew me into the sci-fi/mythology genre that I’ve come to love so much in the shows I’m watching now like Westworld and Misfits. My particular love for BSG/LOST comes from that aspect of character driven storylines with elements of mystery and humanity I guess? It was the first time I was exposed to entertainment and storytelling that made me rethink the way humans and society worked, and I know that’s Going Deep but it’s really true. In addition, shows like The Good Wife (back in it’s better days) and Elementary really made me smarter in a way, because it pointed out things that I wouldn’t have noticed, and there are so many subtleties and nuances that made for thrilling television (Like the iconic Hitting the Fan?! The Season 1 finale of Elementary, which to this day I still remember as the BEST season finale of any show?)

This isn’t to knock on any of the shows I watch now.  I still remember those iconic 7 days where I binged all 6 seasons of Scandal, completely enthralled with the political twists and turns.  I still remember those first 9 episodes of HTGAWM (still my favorite episodes) where I was literally writing recaps on this blog and thinking about who killed Sam?!?!  I remember falling in utter complete love for a character on Daredevil, Elektra, who I related to more than I even knew I could connect to a character. Being able to appreciate the nuances in her characterization and trying to fight a storyline pre-written for her, and fighting her inner demons and darkness all while putting on a front to appear confident and collected. I remember falling in love with Raven Reyes, a character who goes through too much shit on a trashy show but consistently fights for every breath she takes. I remember being shook by a cartoon show, Avatar the last airbender and legend of korra, and the fact that I literally loved every single character for being complex and wonderful to watch. I remember discovering The Flash and the iconic Iris West develop agency and become 1/2 in the most ICONIC ship to exist.  FINALLY having an Asian American family to watch in Fresh off the Boat, and discovering the incredibly talented and outspoken Constance Wu. Exploring my love for sci-fi with the ever thought-provoking Black Mirror (before it got popular, mind you!) Delving into the world of Marvel with Luke Cage and the world of ancient mongolia with Marco Polo. And that’s not even half the shows I watched, or still watch today! Honestly, if anything, my love for television hit it’s peak once I entered high school and started discovering a plethora of wonderful stories to be invested into.

But at the core, (and evident by the previous paragraph), what really affected me the most in television were the characters and their stories. I was reflecting on how I don’t really ‘ship’ characters as much as I thought, because I mainly loved the character first, and then any relationship they had with others second (WA is the only exception at the moment I think). And that’s why my television phase in 2009-2013 means so much. Because those shows, and LOST/BSG in particular exposed me to what beautiful storytelling could be. And it made me feel The Feels towards characters and storylines for the first time. I still remember how I felt after LOST 1x06, when Jin is waiting the airport line before showing Sun the white flower. I was hit with The Emotions. And it only got worse as the show went on. BSG was the same, with the concept of humanity, survival, and cylons. (I’m kicking myself for writing such a passionate piece on BSG because I still haven’t finished the last season. But that’s another problem for another day).

So bringing this back to focus, what does this have to do with Misfits? Well, as stated earlier, Misfits was a show airing from 2009, so it fits within the timeline of my early phase of television, and to be honest, it feels like it too. Of course I felt The Emotions while watching shows 2013+, but for some reason, after finishing THE episode of Misfits (S3E3), I was hit with The Feels that I didn’t remember feeling since my early phase of television. And I’m not sure why? It’s a wacky, weird, dark, cheeky, extremely british sci-fi show that’s not necessarily as character driven as Lost, not nearly as mythological as BSG, much shorter than both shows, but for some reason it’s still making me feel The Emotions. The ending scene itself just destroyed me. It made me feel nostalgic. It reminded me of my summers binge-watching LOST and BSG, where I was constantly entertained by ideas that seemed larger than myself. And Misfits doesn’t necessarily ask those hard-hitting life questions like lost and bsg might, but it provided such a relatable feeling to it? Similar to how I could relate to the storytelling and characters in lost/bsg, I connected to the characters in misfits in some strange way. It’s hard to sell misfits in my opinion, because you never really get what it’s about until you actually start watching. To me, I connected with how each of the characters didn’t really fit in? They are all odd, realistically dealing with whatever goes their way. It’s not glorifying or heroic. In fact, it’s ridiculously messy. Sometimes it’s just one big wtf. 

So I’m still trying to figure out why S3E3 hit me so hard. Maybe it’s because it was a huge combination of an overarching sci-fi plot (Superhoodie and the time traveling loophole), an emotional core (Salisha? <3), suspense and thrill in the plot (graphic designer guy who isn’t really a villain but just wants to be something MORE, at the end realizes what he wants to do), the combination of superhero and graphic novel/comic storylines that I’m also becoming more invested in, the emotional FEELINGS upon seeing the final drawings graphic designer guy pinned to the wall documenting the final events of Simon, ensuring that he keeps the superhoodie, ensuring that it all works out and realizing how he could help the narrative rather than hurting it. The sheer humanity of the episode (which sounds ridiculous if you’ve seen any of the other episodes) if probably what got to me. Similar to how San Junipero (and to a lesser extent Nosedive) hit with me for Black Mirror.  This show has given me zany, weird, strange, etc. but it’s never given me pure emotion and genuine humanity before. Sometimes it’s so narcissistically cynical that you come across an episode like S3E3 that just punches you in the gut because you didn’t expect a show about telekinetic milk powers, the origins of harambe, or a self-proclaimed jesus to hit you all of a sudden with genuine hope and love (similar to how San junipero was so incredible compared to the lineup of gloomy Black Mirror episodes). Additionally, what made me love LOST/BSG was the incredible score and soundtracks that accompanied each emotional moment in the show, and Misfit’s soundtrack game was STRONG with S3E3, and I’m really starting to love the score so much that I’ll probably download it too. Not all episodes have sweeping orchestral themes, but this one did, and it definitely made me feel more feels. It’s not often that a television show relies on scores rather than soundtracks, so maybe that’s another reason why Misfits gave me nostalgic and emotional feels.

So after the episode ended, of course I was an emotional mess. But it was the kind of emotional mess I didn’t remember being in since watching LOST, BSG, S1 Elementary, or those older shows I watched when I was transitioning from middle school to high school, still trying to find my voice or who I wanted to be.  I’m still puzzled to exactly why, but I enjoyed thinking back to the shows that really brought me into the world of television and how I still need to finish bsg. It makes me so thankful for these shows that I grew up with and are growing up with now, because those stories really helped to shape me into the person I am now.  It’s probably why I’m so selective with tv shows now, because I’ve seen so many great things and have felt The Feels from so many impactful shows that at this point, I have standards lol. (one of them being well written WOC but that’s besides the point).

Anyways, I told myself I’d stop watching misfits after S3 since that’s when all the originals leave (and truly, I loved all the original ASBO 5 characters, and Rudy is kind of growing on me even though I find him kind of pointless and annoying most of the time), but if the show continues thrilling me and producing quality episodes like this one, I might give S4 and S5 a chance. Hell, I’ll probably still watch it because one of the new characters is kind of cute.  But basically the whole point of this post was to express all my nostalgia and how my television habits have evolved over the years. And it took the best episode of Misfits to trigger these feelings. But it’s crazy to see how far I’ve come in my television. To see how some shows have fallen off my radar after previously loving them (TGW, Bones) and how some shows are STILL going strong (Elementary!!!). And of course all these new shows I now have to deal with. But Misfits really gave me the ultimate TBT, and the whole vibe really reminds me of the shows I cherished back in 2009-2013. It was a good feeling, and it was nice to go back and document what really made start investing in television and how I’ve evolved in that sense.

Beyond that, I’ll look forward to all my shows I’m watching now, and of course, the rest of Misfits (which sadly will never upstage the glorious S3E3).
