I Brought A Glorified Tablet As A Laptop. NFL Conference Championship Preview

Stephen A Smith trolls Michael Irvin in Pinky skit.

I could talk about how the Jaguars blew their chance of beating the Chiefs after Patrick Mahomes got injured. Just like the Browns! I could talk about the Cowboys topping last year's exit as the dumbest way to lose a game. I could talk about the Bengals ruining the NFL's plans of making the Bills Super Bowl run an inspirational story. You know they was ready to make a movie about this team if they won the Super Bowl with Damar Hamlin as the main focus of the plot. Hell, they made a movie about 4 old women going to the Super Bowl because they're fans of Tom Brady and the Patriots. Instead, let's talk about the huge fuckup I had earlier this week.

After weeks of it shutting off randomly, my laptop finally got the Blue Screen of Death when I turned it back on. I wished this fucking thing shutoff a couple months ago, so I could've got a new one during Black Friday, but I wasn't so lucky. So, I needed a new laptop fast so I can keep up my blogging and Reddit posting (10 YEARS WOO!) schedule. I went to a store and got the cheapest one they had available. As I took it out of the box, I realized I made a huge mistake.

This "laptop" didn't have a door on the bottom where you could remove the disk drive. I only cared about the screen size and if it had 3 USB ports, so I didn't think to check the bottom of the display "laptop". I also didn't think to check the storage of it. This "laptop" has 128GB of storage. My first laptop from 15 years ago had 125. And turns out, the one that just died on me had 1TB of storage! Infact, I used more storage on my recently departed laptop (328) than this one has in all! Talk about a major fuckup! So, I basically brought a 15-inch screen tablet with 3 USB ports as a laptop. But oh, it gets much worse. Let me tell you about when I turned it on.

Since I'm used to Windows, I got one that had Windows 11. I started off with Microsoft Edge, but I wanted to get Google Chrome because I prefer it over Edge. What a surprise, I can't install Chrome unless I disable S Mode. And if I do that, it makes this "laptop" more vulnerable to attacks. That's just fucking great. So, I'm stuck using Bing that's only good for searching for porn. At least I was able to transfer my Chrome data to Edge (and install an ad blocker in the browser) but there's a reason why I used Firefox more often than this glorified Internet Explorer. 

So, to recap, my laptop broke, and I had to buy a new one earlier this week. The one I brought is really a tablet pretending to be one. I have to get used to not being able to use Chrome or Firefox anymore because Microsoft blocks their usage unless I want to willingly get gangbanged by viruses. Also, I have far less storage than my old laptop, so I have to transfer whatever I save on this "laptop" to the hard drive of the old one, so I won't run out of storage on this one in like a week. The only good thing I can say is that it comes with grammar check so you will see a lot more commas and "an" in blog posts for now on. Or until I buy an actual laptop in November.


THE GAMES


2022 NFL season NFC conference championship San Francisco 49ers vs Philadelphia Eagles
San Francisco 49ers   19
Philadelphia Eagles    20

The Eagles absolutely bitch slapped their division rival Giants! Funny enough, the Giants are expected to resign Daniel Jones after that ass kicking while the Cowboys Twitter account straight up buried Dak Prescott after throwing 2 INTs in his loss to the Niners. They weren't the only ones. Like damn, Stephen A Smith had a field day talking shit about Dem Boys. He also had something to say about the Giants, but no one really cares about their fan reactions.

Both the Eagles and 49ers have top 5 offense AND defense so this should be a great game. Philly pretty much had a bye week so there's nothing else to add there while the Cowboys defense stifled the Niners offense. So, I expect the Eagles to edge them out and represent the NFC East in the Super Bowl. And while I'm here, let's play some 49ers Good News, Bad News.

Good News: They could get up to 8 compensation draft picks for developing diverse candidates who get hired by other teams. They got 5 in the 3rd round for Martin Mayhew, Robert Saleh and Mike McDaniel and could get 3 more for Ran Carthon and DeMeco Ryans.

Bad News: DL Charles Omenihu was arrested for domestic violence but is still available to play.


2022 NFL season AFC conference championship Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs
Cincinnati Bengals   27
Kansas City Chiefs   20

People always have to be extra when praising players. Now people are calling Joe Burrow the next Tom Brady. Burrow haven't won a Super Bowl yet. This is as ridiculous as calling the Eagles a dynasty. They had a different coach and QB when they won in 2017 and there's no guarantee that Philly will win it with this group. Hell, the whole Chiefs dynasty thing didn't work out either despite hosting their 5th straight AFC Conference Championship game! Under normal circumstance, this would be a shootout since both teams rather air it out than run the ball. But I feel Patrick Mahomes will still be hampered by the high ankle sprain even if he looked fine at his press conference and warmups. I wonder how Bengals CB Eli Apple will troll them if they win.


LAST WEEK  2-2
PLAYOFFS    8-2
