Postpubescence - Week 12

Image
  Before we tackle my postpubescence, quick little Gyurke family update. As Todd, Rod, and Karla traveled abroad to Ireland in September for the Steelers vrs Vikings game they also obviously took the week traveling and site seeing. When doing so they stumbled into a fishing village named Dingle, Ireland. Wandered their way into the only pub in the 1,200 population city and sat to have a few pops. They were enjoying their pops when an Irish band took the stage.  My parents in their life now love bands. Being married forever now, they notice sometimes when they go out just themselves they can run out of things to talk about. So to balance their love to go out and try new things, they often find a place with live music and hopefully a good band. Downtown Toledo their a new section of bars called "Ostrich Lane" and one of those new bars is an Irish Pub called "Molly's Pub". My parents love that place to the point my dad has became friends with Molly, and we are havi...

Celebration of Life - Week 11

Celebration of Life    For those who knew and those that didn't, I (and the people in the pictures above) attended Gabe's mom's funeral this weekend. I know I sent that text in the group chat about his mom a month ago but the Celebration of Life ceremony happened in DC this last weekend.  It started with a super early flight Saturday morning 7:20am takeoff to land us in DC at 8:30am. I don't think anyone here has ever traveled with my good friend Raymond but it is quite the experience. Ray lives about 25 minutes from the airport and doesn't have clear/TSA precheck/global entry meaning he just gets in line with normies. I say normies because its better than "the poors" and Ray does travel at least once a month for work and still doesn't have any of those fast passes. Nonetheless, Ray doesn't worry/fret/fear any travel. In the middle of a government shutdown, pure chaos throughout all US airports, and no fast pass.... Ray still leaves his house at 6:...

Punishments/Clarifications - Week 10

Trade Deadline As we know after this weekend, it will be the official last week of the trade deadline. You know my beliefs in what teams should do so I won't re-hash that. But I do see some crazy good players out there and available for those pushing to win the chip and vice versa for keepers for the bad teams.  Punishments/Clarifications Nobody panic there is no rule changes. But lets clarify a few things.  1.) Shotgun ruling - I disagree with Alan on it, but Alan is the shadow commissioner so the rule reads: If you have a player that scores 0 and or negative points , regardless of injury, you have to send a video of the shotgun.  2.) League Punishments: We currently don't have one this year. It has been tossed around and is not finalized yet (to my knowledge) that the loser of next year will have to throw in an extra $100 at the end of the year. From their Dustin will go backwards in time and look at high point scorers for the week and pay them out at the end of the y...
