Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast for February 16 2024 – Most Points are my Weak Point

I play a song by Indoor Garden Party; I don’t understand people who are treating Twitter as if things were normal; I watched the Superbowl; the ads are not worth watching and RFK Jr’s ad was the worst; I made one good play in one year of playing football; I made my moment with Sigler’s GFL books; I am going to try MyAFL for some footie; I need to uninstall Solitaire; I hire a handyman instead of screwing things up myself; True Detective season 3 exactly states the reason why I don’t like true crime as a genre; I did like Lamar Waldron’s book at the Kennedy assassination; I met Lamar back in the 1980s; I really enjoyed Stories from a Vegas Street Cop; if you do a podcast episode swap it is more likely I drop you than listen to the other show.

Scott Sigler 10 Year Anniversary

Today is Scott Sigler’s 10th anniversary since he entered the new media world, podcasting and giving away his fiction. It’s worked for him, and he is celebrating with a special deal. For TODAY ONLY – which is code for “don’t dawdle” – he is giving away 10 ebooks for his 10th anniversary. This is all five of the published GFL novels, the three novellas set in the GFL milieu and two of his short story collections.

I have a blog post percolating about the fiasco that lost me access to GFL books 3 and 4. It’s a story of my being a serial idiot. I got them as a package deal with the hardcovers but had completely lost the ebook files. Now, I have them back. It’s a great day for my Kindle.

I recommend the GFL series and it is even safe for middle school and up. I read a lot of SF books and a lot of sports books as a kid. I’d have loved to have this mix back then in between my Heinlein juveniles and the formulaic stories of football championships won or drag racers peeling out.

Don’t forget, this offer is for TODAY ONLY.

Georgia Tech 2014

Oh Georgia Tech, I do love watching you run the triple option offense. I don’t love the wild inconsistency that seems to come with it. Has any team ever started 3-0 in a less impressive fashion?

PS – I know practically nothing about football. I am reading one of Scott Sigler’s Galactic Football League novels though.
