We start with Chefbot.
Chefbot, who besides reminding me of the claymation characters of the 60s and 70s, is a new feature from the Kroger grocery chain on Twitter.
Chefbot is a product of a program to help with food waste by giving you recipes for three food items that you tweet a picture showing those items.
My attempt with Chefbot didn't go well
as Chefbot "saw" my picture of a potato, cheese, and sausage and "saw" it as "chicken, bread, and nut".
Oh, well.
The Atlantic's Megan Garber writes of almost everyone's favorite character from the television show "The Office" Dwight Schrute with a comprehensive breakdown of the character and how he relates to just about anything in the country today.
I cannot really do it justice except to say, if you are a fan of the show, this is a must-read.
The Athletic glances back at the Sam Wyche-Jerry Glanville feud of the 1980s when the head coaches of the Bengals and Oilers despised each other in the manner that you don't see anymore in football.
Wyche was a backup quarterback with the Lions with Glanville as the special teams coach and blamed Glanville for having a key role in his release.
Fast forward to 1989 and Wyche's Bengals relentlessly ran the score up on Glanville's Oilers with the Bengals using an onside kick leading 45-0, throwing the ball all through the fourth quarter, running a fake reverse, and finally with seconds remaining- calling a timeout so kicker Jim Breech could kick a field goal for a 61-7 final score.
The article writes about the other AFC Central (At the time) coaches in Cleveland's Marty Schottenheimer and Pittsburgh's Chuck Noll with their various divisional spats.
It's a terrific read if you enjoy looking back at a fun time in football.
I found an older article from Long Island's "Newsday" in 2018, which looks at the two seasons that the New York Giants spent playing away from the New York/New Jersey area at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut in 1973 and 1974.
The "football" Giants had always shared Yankee Stadium, but when Yankee Stadium was closed for two years for its first renovation and the first Giants Stadium was starting to be in the works of being built, the Giants needed a place to play.
Shea Stadium wasn't offered as an option until 1975, which the Giants grabbed for their final season before Giants Stadium was competed, so it was off to the Yale Bowl with all the problems that come with a sixty year old facility ( and this was for 1973 standards) complete bathrooms outside the stadium, tremendous traffic jams, two locker rooms for each team because they weren't large enough to fit the entire team and more.
We wrap with a link from the Bobblist, a blog that covers bobbleheads and the people that collect them.
Recently, the blog noted the collection of my friend Brad Adams.
The article talks to Brad about his personal collection, how he started collecting, what he continues to collect, and the measures that he can go to add to his collection.
I really laughed when I read Brad's comparison to hunting from a conversation with his dad because I've compared it to hunting myself in a different context!
