Time is a flat circle

Puka Nacua looks like he might be the real deal. Getting peppered with targets and performing real well as a possession receiver. It'll be interesting to see what happens once Kupp comes back, but I doubt he fades away entirely.

No, no, he has a point. It's Patrick's fault Toney couldn't catch Covid 19 at an anti-vax convention the way he was playing last night. 🙄

You know this is a crazy take, right? Mahomes won MVP last year with essentially the same quality of offense. Of course they'd struggle a bit with his #1 playmaker on offense sidelined.

This is a "regress all Mahomes TDs to the mean" level hater comment. What's more likely, Mahomes is average at best and has been propped up by playmakers on offense (including last year without Tyreek), or Mahomes is great and has seriously subpar talent to work with on offense?

Hang on, is this Kadarius Toney making this post? Shit, now it makes sense.

As a Toney owner in dynasty, this is the least surprising headline I've ever seen. Gotta hope he gets healthy a bit, keeps up some camp hype, and I can ship off his fragile and talented boay to another team.

I really like it so far. I'm a bunch of chapters into part 2, and I feel like we're getting a lot of payoffs for stuff set up forever ago in some cases. I felt like book 1 dragged more for me - you could tell what was coming for Kaladin hundreds of pages before we got payoff there - and even book 2 had some slowness for me right when part 2 started.

Maybe it slows down later, but at the moment I'm getting detailed answers to questions that have been there since the start of book 1, which is great. I also have stayed off Coppermind for the most part for anything related to Stormlight, though. Could be what I'm finding satisfying answers and exploration of theories now was heavily discussed in the community at the time. It's one thing to get confirmation of an individual theory about the book, but it's another to read a few hundred pages about something the community has picked apart and already settled on the right answer to. Not saying this is what happened, just guessing based on what I know about the community and the depth of detail discussed in places like Coppermind.

I finished the last 3/4 of Words of Radiance and Edgedancer this week and am ~300 into Oathbringer. I know I'm late to the party, but I should be done with my Cosmere read through this year. I have Mistborn, Warbringer, Elantris and their associated Arcanum Unbounded novellas down, just the rest of Stormlight Archive, the White Sand Omnibus, and a few of the other AU novellas to go, plus the secret projects. When I say it like that, it feels like more than a little, but I have some free time on my hands the next few months.
