Tips for Tikay

[Jamier-Host]

Hills Black Friday offers are pretty good. Every half an hour all day for a 5 minute window (max tenners)

Really enjoyed the old boys reminiscing about their time in snooker.

Tell us the story of how you got your snooker cue Tom and I'll tell the tragic tale about Alain Robidoux and his beloved cue.

Very much this.

Snooker stuff needs its own thread, so it doesn't get lost in Fred.

Saw Jimmy the other week at Wembley. Looked well.

Good idea, done.

This could be incred.

We have a new snooker thread, so maybe put your stories there;

Colin Kaepernick would be fun given today's spat.

[RED-DOG]

I like Taylor Swift.

This article is about the award;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year
It's supposely "profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year". This could make Kim Jong Un a real runner.
However a comment that suggests he's unlikely is;
"As a result of the public backlash it received from the United States for naming Khomeini as Man of the Year in 1979, Time has since shied away from using figures who are controversial in the United States for commercial reasons, fearing reductions in sales or advertising revenue."
Colin Kaepernick is a divisive figure in the States and could suffer accordingly.

So Macron is a shortish favourite and if the decision was made 6 months ago, I could see why. However the lustre has since worn off the Macron revolution somewhat so I can see him being readily opposed.
The #MeToo campaign at 2nd favourite looks more likely to me as it's current and it would be politically correct. However the problem with stuff like this is, the eventual winner might not even be listed. "American Women" won the award in 1975 and they could be honoured again as it would cover the #MeToo campaign too.
Taylor Swift could be a runner I guess but looking at previous winners, she probably doesn't have the requisite gravitas. Conor McGregor might be a better option in the 'novelty' runners.
Someone like Zuckerberg or Elon Musk could be runners as Bezos (Amazon) and Zuckerberg (Facebook) are previous winners. Zuckerberg has previously won (there have been a number of multiple winners) but I don't know if he has done anything this year to merit inclusion. Musk looks best to me from a tech viewpoint this year.

So in summary, I dunno

How DARE you.

Mariota passing yards are low in Indy. They're conceding 274.5 per game through the air (and they've been able to play against Kizer and Savage). Mariota is off a long rest, which will should secure his recovery from previous hamstring issues.

Recency bias recalls him finding Steelers' chests 10 days ago, but that Steelers defense is decent and the Titans have been playing good defenses quite often this season. Indy appalling against the pass (31st numberfire; 27th Football Outsiders).

Could even be a shootout, as it's not like the Titans can defend. Line is 240.5 (Scuy - 10/11) or 227.5 (Paddy - 5/6). Would set it nearer 270 personally.

Open to views on whether we wait for the other bookies to put their markets up or take it now.

5/6 is grim but it's a low line. Can accommodate Fred for up to £50 if desired.

Hang on. Forgot to add the deal-sealer.

Tay-Tay, What do you think?
