DIDDY TRIVIA:  FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS TO LIFE

Like Aaron Hernandez, before him-- It took us a while to replace OJ, but at last we found the right guy. 
Introducing Diddy Trivia.  While Diddy gets ready for his break out tour, he still has time for some good ole NFL Trivia!!  Last week's
question is, "Who was the first NFL player to score 2000 points in a career?

Their first NFL player to score 2000 points in a career was George Blanda, who reached the milestone on December 21, 1975.  George retired after 26 years, playing in both the old AFL and the NFL, scoring a total of 2002 points. In the final regular-season game of his 26-year career, Blanda kicked four extra points for the Oakland Raiders to bring his career total to 2,002 points. His final tally included: 9 touchdowns, 335 field goals, and 943 extra points.

This week'q trivia question is "Which other sport while in college, did former NFL great Jim Brown excel in as well as football? 

a.  Soccer
b.  Wrestling
c.  Lacrosse
d.  Rugby

This week's winners will recieve  the PTSD Decision Dice Set:  The first pick was brutal...  Bucky Irving went way too early at 1.12. A rookie with uncertain volume, a questionable offensive line and taken ahead of Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown and Breece Hall. -- This wasn't on anyone else's mind.  Fear not!  Here it is—your very own Decision Maker Dice, fresh off the fantasy football altar of chaos. Each face is etched with a draft-day mantra: “Reach for a rookie,” “Ignore ADP,” “Trust your gut,” “Pick a kicker,” “Auto-draft,” and “Ask ChatGPT.” It’s colorful, slightly worn, and ready to ruin someone’s season with one roll.

For those needing positive affirmations... Here are three independent ratings of the 2025 OFFL Draft.

    

I always take these things with a grain of salt, but...  There might be someting to it.  Just look at the Top 10 Worst Picks of the 2025 Draft.

1.12  PTSD Disorder, Bucky Irving, TBB RB. Rookie RB with uncertain role, taken ahead of Tyreek, AJB, Breece. Just reckless.
3.01  Catch These Hands, Baker Mayfield, TBB QB. Round 3 QB with zero upside. Not even a superflex league.
4.14  Catch These Hands, RJ Harvey, DEN RB.  Depth chart disaster. Not even guaranteed a roster spot.
5.05  Midnight Dawgs, Calvin Ridley, TEN WR.  New team, crowded WR room, declining production. Round 5 is generous.
6.14  Catch These Hands Jacory Croskey-Merritt, WAS RB.  UDFA buried on depth chart. Wasted pick.
8.09  Rodgers' Witch, Rashee Rice, KCC WR (Suspended).  Suspension risk + WR room shakeup. Drafted like he’s a WR2.
9.09  Midnight Riders, Christian Kirk, HOU WR (Out)Injury risk + crowded WR corps. Round 9 could’ve been a steal elsewhere.
10.08  Flying Gators, Adam Thielen, MIN WRAge cliff + wrong team listed (he’s on CAR). Drafted like it’s 2018.
13.04  NY Gangsters, Jake Ferguson, DAL TEMid-tier TE with no breakout signs. Could’ve streamed better options.
14.13 Throw That (T)D, Will Shipley, PHI RB.  Rookie buried behind Barkley. No standalone value.

Oh, honorable horrible mentions.
Kyler Murray (5.14) – Injury risk + bad offense – Romosexual Tendencies
McCaffrey (1.08) – Not a bad player, but risky at 1.08 with the Q tag and age  --  Mr. Hoffnuts
Tee Higgins (3.06) – Contract limbo + crowded WR room  -- Rodger’s Witch

And lets not forget, it takes a stupid mofo to draft Amari Cooper (9.04) on his day off!  -- NY Gangsters.  That aint the worst of it.  At 10:14 and 11:01, we saw two defenses taken back to back.  Double defense in rounds 10 and 11? That’s not strategy—it’s sabotage. Philly’s fine, but Denver? That’s a reach even in altitude.

Zack's Facts
 
Coming Soon!  Facts so sharp they cut through the noise—Zack delivers the truth your lineup didn’t know it needed.  Records, rarities, and reality checks—because fantasy football deserves real intel.



AKMTRD Magnetic Levitation Bluetooth Speaker

The AKMTRD AS1 Magnetic Levitation Bluetooth Speaker is a visually striking blend of futuristic design and functional audio tech. Its standout feature—a floating, spinning speaker orb—makes it as much a conversation piece as a music player. With a sleek aluminum-plastic build and compact footprint, it fits seamlessly into modern spaces. While setup requires some finesse to achieve perfect levitation, the result is impressively stable and mesmerizing.

The 360° surround sound delivers crisp audio suitable for casual listening, though bass performance is modest compared to traditional speakers in its price range. Connectivity is smooth thanks to Bluetooth 5.1, and the 10-hour battery life ensures extended playback without frequent charging. The orb’s button interface is serviceable, though it could benefit from a more premium feel. Overall, the AKMTRD AS1 excels as a tech-forward décor item and a unique gift for gadget lovers. It may not satisfy audiophiles or those seeking rugged performance, but for anyone drawn to innovative design and ambient sound, it offers a compelling mix of style and substance. Available at Amazon for $99.99


Grandma

One day, the police raided a whole group of prostitutes at a sex party in a hotel. The police took them outside and had all the prostitutes line up along the driveway. Suddenly, one of the prostitute’s grandma came by and saw her. “Why are you standing in line, dear?” She asked.

Not willing to let her grandma know the truth, the prostitute told her that the policemen were passing out free oranges. “Why that is awfully nice of them! I think I’ll get some for myself,” says the grandma.

A policeman went down the line, asking for information from all the prostitutes. When he got to the grandma, he exclaimed, “Wow, still going at it at your age? How do you do it?” Grandma replied, “Oh, it is easy, dear. I just take out my dentures and suck them dry.”


Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas

Marinade
3 chipotles in adobo sauce, finely choppedchipotles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oilolive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juicefresh lime juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugarlight brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, finely choppedgarlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher saltkosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cuminground cumin

Fajitas
2 pounds skirt steakskirt steak
1 red onion, cut into wedgesred onion, cut into wedges
3 bell peppers, any color, cut into planksbell peppers, any color, cut into planks
1 tablespoon olive oilolive oil
1 teaspoon kosher saltkosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepperblack pepper
Flour or corn tortillas, cilantro, salsa, and sour cream for serving

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together in a shallow dish. Trim the skirt steak of any chunks of fat, and cut them into manageable pieces, about 6 inches long. Add the steak to the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour or as long as 8 hours (see recipe tip).

Toss the onion and bell peppers in the oil, salt, and pepper. When ready to cook, prepare the grill for 2-Zone Grilling, with the sear zone activated, and the remaining burners on low. Preheat for at least 15 minutes and brush the grill grates clean. Remove the steak from the marinade and wipe off any excess. Add the vegetables to the grill above the lower-heat burners and cook, with the lid closed, for 5 minutes.

Flip the vegetables and add the steak to the Sear Zone. Cook the steak for 2 minutes a side for medium-rare, and the vegetables until softened and slightly charred, about 5 minutes on the second side. Transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.

While the steak rests, add the tortillas to the grill and cook until soft and pliable, turning constantly, for about 2 minutes.

To serve, first cut the steak into 3"–4" wide pieces. Rotate each piece so that your knife is perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers of the steak (also called the “grain” of the steak). Slice the steak into thin slices and transfer to a platter. Place the grilled vegetables on the cutting board and cut into thin slices. Place the vegetables on the platter with the steak and serve with the tortillas, cilantro, salsa, sour cream, and any other toppings you’d like.

Recipe Tip We love marinating skirt steak, because the loose muscle fiber allows the marinade to really soak into the meat. However, if you don’t have the time, substitute the marinade for a tablespoon of your favorite fajita seasoning blend.
