So I was reading an article about Dan Orlovsky saying that being an NFL quarterback is a 24/7/365 job.

I've felt for years that the saying 24/7/365 is stupid and the fact it is so widely accepted is astounding to me.

The saying should be 24/7/52. Because there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and then 52 weeks in a year. It makes no sense to say there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 365 days in a year. You are using the days portion (speaking in increments of time measurement) kind of redundantly when used twice in this way.

Done correctly it should go up to the next unit of measurement. 24/7/52.

Yes this is a rambling of a crazy person, but this needed to be said.

well it's a given that you won't be closed for an entire week, but it's not a given that you won't be closed for three or four days out of the year, so for businesses advertising hours the 365 part makes far more sense

      NHL 2026 Playoff Thread

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.

      Melo apologized and said he had been hit on the head and didn't know where he was at.
