Week 1 Preseason action kicks off tonight. I've started a game thread for the week and will be updating while I watch. I hope that you'll join in and let your friends know to join us on Lemmy for the discussion as well.

In the meantime, here is my preview for this week's slate of games. CJ Stroud and John Metchie will make their NFL debuts for the Texans tonight vs the Patriots. Stroud with the start while Metchie is technically on his sophomore season, he was inactive all last season.

For tonights night cap, two first round rookies will take the field for the vikings and Seahawks.

Friday games might give us a chance to see Jamhyr Gibbs in action for the Lions. Baker Mayfield will start for the Bucs but they are going to give Trask the start next week. We will see who emerges and if they can be effective with that strong WR core. The Commanders are expect to play their starters vs Browns.

Saturday the Colts will see how Richardson does vs the Bills and whether he will start the season as QB1. Rochson Johnson will be a player to watch as the Bears play the Titans. He has a skill set that neither starter Khalil Herbert or RB2 D'Onta Foreman have so he could be primed for a big role this season. Especially if fields and the bears O break out this year. Bryce Young will start for the Panthers vs Jets. Will it be Aaron Rodgers or Zach Wilson again on the other side?

Sunday we might get some clarity on what the chiefs WR room will look like with the departure of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hartman. Toney and MVS are not likely to play but the battle for WR3 will be on for Rice, Moore, and Ross.

As we are approaching the season starting in less than a month, who would be interested in joining a fantasy league just for this community? Let me know in the comments if you are interested in joining and what is your preferred scoring set up (standard vs half vs full PPR)

Jamaal Williams and 3rd round pick Kendre Miller look to handle the backfield. Eno Benjamin, who was third in line has torn his Achilles.

Does Williams being in the backfield allow kamara to play more explosively like during the Ingram and Murray days or does the crowded back field mean he’s cooked.

I decided to start a thread for comments on tonight’s game, Sorry mods if this kind of thing isn’t allowed. I’m just pumped that football is back baby!

Rodgers (and the other starters) isn’t playing tonight so it will be Zach Wilson at the reins for the Jets.

Game is on NBC or streaming on peacock. I’ll be leave comments on the post as I watch the game. Hope that you will join me.

He’d be going from a bell cow role to a potential time-share. What do you think the best landing spot could be and do you think that his ADP could slide even if he stays in Indy as he could have an extended hold out if not traded?

Sharing this note I made when trying to sync a shared calendar from gmail to iCloud today. The process was frustratingly complex and figured it might be good information for the rest of the community

I’ve been wanting to switch from the google calendar app to the iCloud calendar app but my wife prefers google calendar so getting her to migrate all her events and appointments from gmail to iCloud isn’t reasonable. I thought I’d just add her calendar to my calendar app but was having trouble. You can’t just add it as a subscribed calendar as the link to the calendar doesn’t work. So I thought of adding my gmail account to my iPhone and just syncing the calendars from gmail to my iPhone but her calendar still didn’t show up.

So for some reason this is not advertised by apple and the setting is obfuscated by google so after a lot of trial and error and googling, I found a result that worked.

You can use this link to get a shared calendar to appear in the list of synced calendars from gmail. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/syncselect

Calendars that you only have read permission on seem to be unchecked by default.

Thanks to this website I was able to find this information so follow this link if you need more detailed instructions. https://workspacetips.io/tips/calendar/sync-shared-google-calendars-to-your-ios-device/

From the DVD release of season 5. Audio from “The Fire”

Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon, who had $9.4 million non-guaranteed base salary, agreed tonight to restructure his contract to remain in Cincinnati. Joe’s goal is to win a Super Bowl and play his career in Cincinnati and this is the best way to accomplish these goals,” said his agent Peter Schaffer.

He will server 30 Hours community service and pay $100,000 restitution.

It’s anyone’s guess how many games suspended if any this turns in to. I think Kamara could be a sneaky value with Carr leading the offense.

I get this error when trying to reply on kbin on communities hosted on Lemmy.world. I don’t know whether this is a wefwef problem or if it’s just the messenger to a problem with Lemmy world. For the record I do have a language set in my profile
