This thang...

  • Best camera on the market (by a long shot)
  • Google Assistant > Siri (or) Bixby
  • 5.5 size (Basically the X, the goldilocks zone of phone IMO)
  • 799.00 compared to the XS at 1000+
  • Downsides: Your texts are green on your friend's phones!..but you can change color on your end ;)  + no headphone jack (but comes w/adaptors and compatible headphones)

Now real tech nerds or savings peeps may gravitate towards the Pocophone or OnePlus, but given the incentives, stock Android, and the greater google product launch, I think this will give the iphone a run for it's money.  Didn't want to pay for the XS, didn't want the XR since I have a 6...S9 is nice but not stock Android and it still has the Bixby button. 

This thing is pretty much on the money.

If you want a deal now, the Pixel 2XL is 650.00 through Google.  And if you know the right sites, you can find new/mint unboxed around 400.00.  

Any fans? And yes, we can talk about the notch on the 3XL.    

I giggle.

I have had a Pixel XL one for two years now. It is just as fast now, as when I first got it. I have only used 20% of the storage and the battery easily still lasts all day. Plus, whenever there is an Android update, Google gets it the SAME DAY! No waiting for a year like Samsung.  Zero bloatware on the Google phone also. I am probably going to get the new Pixel 3 XL, just because I want it, lol.

That's what I'm thinking about getting next for myself and the wife.  We've been on Samsung S8s since we got a great BOGO deal.  I was on a LG G6 before that.  We're seeing some issues popping up with the USB connector going bad and some generally buggy behavior that's not helped by resets (terrible wifi, "jank" among many others).  We've gotten to a point with the S8s where we just aren't happy.

I still love pulling out my G6.  Just feels so good in the hand even now, it was just the battery life was pretty poopy.

We are really looking hard at the Pixel 3, not the XLs, no notch please.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
