Not only is it an honor to be called Fat as a pool player, you actually should be Fat, as in obese. And you should stay obese. Morbidly obese.
The more obese, the more people fear you.
I swear this is all true. I've been in pool rooms all my life.
I'll take the 7ball. Which area of the US you play around?
And here's another layer:
If you go on a diet with the "Fat" nickname already given to you, you are penalized.
Do not try to be skinny when you should be Fat.
People want to play you when you are skinny.
I played a guy called Fat Charlie. He must have been 5'8'' 300+. Ridiculously Fat. One of the greatest pool players I've seen play live. A professional.
He lost over 120 pounds.
He not only got worse, other people who were inferior started to beat him.
They weren't any better. He wasn't any worse.
It was because this honorable title of Fat no longer applied.
Be Fat and be proud when it benefits you!

You sure you dont want to wait if Goff starts or not?
Here's how I am 99% certain Goff will not start.
Besides the fact Fisher said he's staying with Keenum for this game (a vote of confidence), keeping Goff on the bench is utilizing the same blueprint he used in 95/96 with Steve McNair.
The Houston/Tennesseee Oilers struggled under Chris Chandler at QB those years all while you had this star QB (unknown outside of his Air McNair moniker) on the bench. He refused to put McNair in.
Fisher believes young QB's should get A minimum of 1 season on the bench. And he prefers two. He'll give you major reps here and there but you won't be the official starter.
McNair didn't start until 1997. In 2000, he's in the Super Bowl. He's doing this with Goff and it will change only if the owner forces his hand.
When the games are officially meaningless you may see Goff start one or two games this year just to give him a taste like McNair did in 1995.
Appreciate the other comments.
Guys if the line is now -2, for your side, since you are getting in late, it's not a PickUm. But it's not 3. It wouldn't push me off the pick at that number obviously.

Petty gets the start does that change things ? Line has moved to -2 on my book now rams
No I don't fear Petty in this spot. If Petty ends your season you deserve it. I'm sure there will be a spark here on some drives since he is an unknown but I expected him to start. 4 quarters of spark? No. This was the news around here all week.

Way back in the day you were considered high class if you were fat, cause it showed you had extra money and wasn't poor.... Pool players during this time must have been considered Gods..... Scal, any thoughts on the total for the game? I'm thinking under with these putrid teams.
Correct! If we are going to go THAT far back in the day, as evidenced in the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, women with large foreheads were considered highly desireable.

Lmao, I love the fact that it took you a half hour to make that write up, you basically found your GOY play, and at the end go "medium play, nothing crazy". If you were that confident you'd be going LARGE.
Jets win, see ya at the window
