Episode from 4-22-2018

You know, it seems odd, but it seems that this show, despite having quite possibly the worst timeslots in all of TV history, seems likely to survive into the next season. Now you’ll never know when a show will end that should have lasted longer, like Limitless. But this show seems to be the first one in quite a while to last in this timeslot. I wonder if people would still be watching it if Hilary Clinton were president.

Well, I’ve put it off for long enough so it’s about time that I research more of football team match-ups of the tier one teams that I have. Let’s start with the Rams. They beat the Raiders, lost to the Chargers, beat the Colts, and beat the Titans. The 49ers beat the Chiefs, lost to the Colts, and beat the Titans. I’m only doing match-ups that weren’t seen last season.

The Broncos didn’t play any teams that they haven’t already done a match-up with in the previous season. But I will retroactively make them beat the Steelers since that is what happened in the post season of when I started adding other teams than the Rams alone to root for. The Chargers beat the Rams. And like the other teams, they’ve already played games that matter, although I might have to come back to this should there be new ties. Next is the Raiders. They lost to the Rams. The Chiefs lost to the 49ers. The Titans lost to the Steelers, lost to the 49ers, and lost to the Rams.

The Colts lost to the Rams and beat the 49ers. The Steelers lost to the Bears and beat the Titans. The Bears aren’t actually a team that I root for, but I still include them for comparison. The Bears beat the Steelers and that’s it. Now how do I rank the teams? And how does it relate to their previous rankings? What could still change in future seasons? We’ll see later, maybe.

Let’s see what the rankings are now. Remember that I’m factoring in the previous rankings from the post about the episode from 3-5-2017 that was posted in May. The Rams are now 3 out of 4 with their 1 out of 3 last season makes them 4 out of 7. The 49ers are 2 out of 3 plus their 3 out of 4 last season makes them makes them 5 out of 7. The Broncos retroactive post makes them 4 out of 9 for both of their seasons. The Chargers have 1 out of 1 this season compared with their 1 out of 6 last season makes them 2 out of 7. The Raiders are 0 out of 1 this season and 3 out of 5 last season which makes them 3 out of 6 this season.

Continuing the teams, the Chiefs are 0 out of 1 this season and 5 out of 8 last season, which makes them 5 out of 9. The Titans are 0 out of 3 this season and 5 out of 6 last season, which makes them 5 out of 9 for both seasons. The Colts are 1 out of 2 this season and were 3 out of 7 last season, which makes them 4 out of 9 for both seasons. The Steelers are 1 out of 2 this season and compared with their retroactive loss to the Broncos, this makes them 3 out of 5. The Bears are 1 out of 1 this season and were 1 out of 5 last season, which makes them 2 out of 6 for both seasons.

Now what is the ranking of all the teams? Remember that the Bears are just for comparison and not because I like them. Also, since the Rams will automatically rank higher than the 49ers or the Chargers, you will see the Philadelphia Eagles ranked where they should be, even though the Eagles are ranked lower than these teams and the next four I’ve already talked about before.

What are the rankings? Here they are from highest to tenth highest: Rams, 49ers, Titans & Chiefs (tie), Eagles, Colts & Broncos (tie), Raiders, Steelers, Bears, and Chargers. The winner of the ties that I have ranked are from the previous winners of the previous rankings, but I will check later to see where they rank among themselves this season, if they played each other. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait until they play each other next season.

Speaking of which, what are all the games that need to be played among the ten teams that haven’t been played yet according to my rules? Well, The Rams need to play the Steelers, Bears, and Chiefs. The 49ers need to play the Steelers and Raiders. The Chargers need to play the Steelers and Bears. The Raiders need to play the Steelers, 49ers, and Bears. The Steelers would need to play the Rams, 49ers, Chargers, and Raiders. The Bears would need to play the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders. The Chiefs have played everyone they need to. The Titans have played everyone they need to. The Broncos have played everyone they need to. The Colts have played everyone that they need to. And when all nine teams have played each other, we wait until it happens again in case there are any ties.

I have heard a lot about the Iran nuclear deal and am not sure that I have heard it in an unbiased way. So much of it seems to be negative about the deal. But it tells them that they can’t get nuclear weapons or there will be consequences for it. Well, that’s my understanding at least. But like Common Core, I might not ever fully understand it for myself and only get people’s negative thoughts on it. The main reason that I’m bringing this up is this: if we can get Iran to do a deal to stop their development of the nuclear weapons they were going to have, why not try to make a deal with North Korea? Why not get them to sign an agreement to have them stop making nuclear weapons? Would this make people think then that the deal with Iran might actually be good and shouldn’t have been attacked like it was?

When it comes to the idea of the fact that the US is on record for not paying for hostages of terrorists, I think that’s a bad idea. I can understand a bit not wanting government money to go for it, but if one has the money the terrorists are looking for, why not pay it? I think that not paying for hostages is a bad idea because it gives them way more power than they should have. Although, trying to see it from the other side, maybe they don’t want the money that is paid to go up higher and higher.

What we want is for the hostages to get rescued, the terrorist in some way punished, and no money to be lost. But I don’t know if any of that could happen and you’d think that the live of the hostage would be more important. Still, you’d have to wonder if this policy were to change if somehow a very high profile person were to somehow become a hostage. Then again, we could wind up with a coup, a whole different problem, if someone like the president was somehow kidnapped.

My thoughts on the missile strikes might seem odd, but I think that they should be happening. There is no reason why we should let someone be able to gas their own people without them being punished. I’d like to think that someone as bad as Hitler would be more likely to have his reign cut short nowadays since people know what is going on. Of course, there’s also fake news, which is more of a retort for something that people don’t like than people accurately saying that it is messed up. I can understand why some people think that a president shouldn’t do that without Congressional approval as it is an act of war. But Congress is supposed to approve all wars and the last time they did was World War II. We have had tons of wars after that and no one has questioned their legitimacy. As for the missile strikes, make sure that they don’t interrupt any TV shows.

There was an issue recording this on my TV tuner so I’ll have to watch it online. I know that CBS has a website that could be having problems. Only, it isn’t loading problems like NBC’s website. It seems that they are being douches and not making things as available as they should be. I should be able to watch it or I’ll try to find a way to see it elsewhere. Otherwise, there won’t be an update.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with Elizabeth and Henry returning home from some sort of outing. Elizabeth thinks that she and Henry are too separated from their friends. Daisy talks with Jay about what must be the problem of the week. Matt talks about his relationship that has ended. It must have been really important since this is the first time we’ve heard about it. People in Honduras get kidnapped and Elizabeth has to help in some way. Also, someone she was meeting with thought that she was doing something wrong.

In segment two, it seems that an agreement is in trouble. Doesn’t this happen every other episode? Well, maybe not that many. Henry tries to make a date with some other parents. Jay talks about how the US doesn’t pay for hostages. Jason, his typical teenage self, doesn’t want there to be embarrassing stories told. Although, would anyone want them told? It seems that the situation in Honduras is getting worse for various reasons. Again, this is so similar to what happens all the time.

In segment three, Elizabeth worries about the situation before learning that private people can pay for it. I don’t know if this is true in the real world. Elizabeth and Henry meet with Piper’s parents. If you don’t remember, Piper is the girlfriend of Jason. Matt meets up with some woman. She looks like she might be familiar, but I don’t know who she is or if we’ve seen her before. Someone shows up at the McCord house and Piper’s parents leave. Apparently, the president of Honduras kidnapped her own people so that she could be seen as the hero.

In segment four, the date of Matt has her ex show up. I’m confused by everything. The people in the US listen to the whole resolved hostage situation. But there are tons of issues related to it still. Should they tell people about what happened? They don’t know what to do.

In segment five, Daisy wants to talk Elizabeth out of the situation that could affect the election that is happening in Honduras. It seems that they won’t have allies there. Matt talks about the date of his that went wrong and how he realized that they were still in love with each other. But he wants to be back with Ronny, the woman he was with at some point somehow sometime that I don’t remember. So he tells her that they should stay together and they kiss. Elizabeth and Henry go back to the house of the parents of Piper and they hang out, it seems.

I don’t have scenes from next time to talk about. I guess that CBS is good with putting this show online, but bad with other shows. I might as well see if there are things that aren’t on there. But I’m glad that I can do a recap for anyone who might have missed the show. I hope that I won’t miss any episodes in the future or that I will be able to see it online like I did with this one. I just hope nothing bad happens. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
