Working on the Paper Lion episode. Wondering if any big time modern leagues would let some writer actually play. And of they did, would you do it?

Thankfully it was a slow night at work, since I spent literal HOURS trying to track down all the prompts and sign ups for all the readathons on the group list! I managed to get through the first 34 of 60+ before I had to call it, and just calculate week ones Readathon points as is. Each of the 19 books counted towards different readathons, depending on the prompts, the highest being 23 readathons for 1 book 🙈

My week one total was 17,423pts

Clwojick I still have to finish researching the rest of the readathons and bingo boards! Hopefully my points for #TeamSlaughter next week will be just at good! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (edited) 3y

Jemgirl2014 Fantastic! Question: Today we check in? Not tomorrow? Just want to make sure. 😊 @Clwojick 3y

Chrissyreadit Yes! 3y

marleed Well, shoot, I need a book so I can‘t hide from what‘s happening to my Chiefs and Mahomes :( 3y

RamsFan1963 @marleed After watching this game, where one of the NFL's best offenses hasn't scored a single TD, I'm beginning to believe pro football is rigged. 3y

Sargar114 Totally what I‘m doing lol! 3y

TheBookHippie @RamsFan1963 It certainly looked that way with all the calls in the first quarter and the calls in general yes? I am a die hard BEARS fan! HA. Mr Book Hippie is a Lions fan....I would root for a lot of teams however neither of these appealed to me. So I had no opinion other than I hoped Brady wouldn't win, I'm not all that nice of a person! BAHAHAHAHA. OY. 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I can watch it in person in Chicago and love it. But I think that has to do with where I am and who I'm with and the food BAHAHAHA. Over the years it has become something I don't recognize from the 1980s fun in person we had. 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I REALLY didn‘t want Brady to win again, either. Eh. 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Just nauseated blech.......... 3y

TheBookHippie @marleed The calls were a little much..... 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie yup 3y

marleed I do love the excitement and camaraderie a winning sports team brings to a city. And for local shop owners and artisans, the merchandise is so good for business. Even a local milk bottling company here has sell-out red velvet milk with game themed bottles. It‘s pretty cool. That‘s a good reason for every team to be champs from time to time. 3y

TheBookHippie @marleed I am a die hard CUBS fan and I saw them WIN IT ALL. So I get that. Fun to see all the small shops get wonderful business. We purposely bought all the local mom and pop stores things. It was fantastic. It was fun to see the Eagles win it a few years back and all the Philly small shops get tons of revenue. And all the Rocky things. Good times. I have no ill will towards the team just not a Brady fan. 3y

marleed @TheBookHippie My sister and BIL are die-hard Cubs fans and have lived in my hometown of Butte, MT their whole lives. As a kid, my BIL‘s neighborhood assigned each boy a baseball team and he was responsible for those stats until he was midway through HS and past the responsibility down to another young boy. So John has maintained Cubs stats for some 60 years now! They‘ve been in the Wrigley Field one time for a game - memories for them!! 3y

TheBookHippie @marleed I love Wrigley I miss it so this past year. We jumped the train to go see them win it all! The after parties back in the city was fierce! We had so much fun. Sooooo many people !! I slept for a week after those 3 days or was it 5 BAHAHAHA. I still can't believe I was alive to see them win. 3y
