Anybody watching Squid Game: The Challenge on Netflix?
Hilarious stuff. Kinda like the Panthers on Sundays.

Watched the Squid Game drama just before watching Squid Game: The Challenge (I refuse to call it "The Challenge" -- that's a different, and superior, show)

Really liked the overall production values. The setup for the Glass Bridge was fantastic (and behind-the-scenes talk discussed how they had stunt staff perform the actual fall-off-the-bridge piece, which is better than doing it via CGI)

Liked the way the production handled the dorm riots/killing stuff from the drama and interpreted it in a way that worked in the game format

Did not care for how the final cuts all came down, in essence, to games of chance rather than something more nuanced and conversation-starters. It's hard to cheer for/against a coin flip winner.

Other behind-the-scenes gossip? The show was filmed last winter (early 2023) and it was cold/dry in the facility. The contestants resorted to using lubricated condoms as a substitute for chapstick.

This shoot really wore the actors out. Respect and thanks to them for their excellent work!

      Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.

      It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
