Welcome to one of the greatest times of the year for Screencaps

It's like shooting fish in a barrel right now for this column. I was telling Mrs. Screencaps this week that there are days of the year I don't like to take off work because the content is just so good. Those days include the holidays and Halloween.

Why wouldn't I take off the holidays? 1. It's my column. I don't feel like it's fair to SeanJo to tell him to work the holidays when I started this column. 2. The content is always great. July 4? Are you kidding me? The content is off the charts. Christmas? Instagram models dump out all sorts of content. New Years? Having to work in the morning tends to prevent me from going too nuts the night before. Thanksgiving morning is one of the easiest editions of Screencaps to produce. People are in a good mood. They want to show me what they're cooking.

And they're dialed into the content because they're not at work.

As for Halloween, I literally get paid to report on Halloween costumes. After being told this week by some idiot emailer that I should retire, my resolve is stronger than ever. No, I won't retire. I built this column into the greatest job on the Internet. You'd have to yank it out of my cold dead hands.

Thank you to retired tennis star Genie Bouchard for kicking off the weekend with a Brit Brit tribute. Well done.

Mailbag: How do you deal with the a--holes?

– Jayson asks: A buddy of mine writes a mailbag column for a website. He said that occasionally, he will get emails from "psychos" who flip on him for not reading their questions. Have you ever received that kind of junk since starting Screencaps? If you do, do you answer them back, or simply ignore them?

Kinsey: I've never had emailers turn heel because I wouldn't publish their emails, but I've had guys who claimed to be fans and loyal readers who turned out to be total scumbags, especially after I left Busted Coverage and joined Clay Travis here at OutKick. There have been guys who felt like I should've given them freebies that brands used to send to me.

As for a--hole emailers, I like when people write and snap on me. It's great content. Typically, when I reply to their emails, the people disappear.

WARREN SAPP GETS INTO CONFRONTATION WITH FLORIDA STATE FAN DURING TAILGATE, TIM MCGRAW'S BRONZER & DALE ART

This is a career-low and she's playing COLLEGE golf

A quick Google search reveals that Elizabethtown College was having revenue trouble in 2024 when the school cut 13 faculty members. You know what they didn't cut? Women's golf, where members of the team are really killing it out on the links.

Do you let weirdos pick your groceries and dump them into your car?

• Legacy reader Jess in Alabama, who has been emailing longer than pretty much any other OutKick reader, says it's just convenient: The guy who wrote in that only the elderly or disabled should get delivery groceries is forgetting the time in his life with babies. I can get off my lazy ass, but y’all don’t want to see that diaper blowout spill on the aisle next to your shoe or hear the tantrum that happens 1 out of 4 trips. I’ll let the grocery guy pick out a bag of potatoes or mustard or random stuff I grab off the shelf. Then I’ll find time to stock my own meat and fruit when I get a chance. And I am not complaining about my life. I’m very grateful. And very grateful not to ruin your pleasant experience at the grocery store.

SUPERMARKET VOTED BEST GROCERY STORE IN AMERICA AS CUSTOMERS PRAISE MEAL KITS, VARIETY OF OFFERINGS

• Louie in Savannah pushes back on Chris A.'s email: I have been following along with the grocery pick up debate the last few days and have to weigh in, especially after the comment about those that do it are lazy and park in the fire lane.

We use it every week. We are quite able-bodied, just busy as hell.

BABY BOOMERS HATE 10 THINGS ABOUT TODAY'S GROCERY STORES

My wife is the "Food and Beverage Coordinator" in our home and we have been using the Kroger "Click list" just about every week since it became an option years ago. I imagine every store in different parts of the country have varying experiences but there are so many benefits for us to ordering online and picking it up. My wife just submitted ours and I'm picking it up on the way home from work tomorrow. I'll be in the parking lot for no more that 15 minutes total. It's very convenient and actually saves money. There is no impulse buying when you pick it up, only what you ordered. We also aren't bringing our teen and pre-teen sons into the store who are suddenly starving (as always) and now want to throw everything they see into the cart and grab a sushi roll to devour while walking around. As an added bonus, once every two months or so, the store accidentally loads someone else's partial order into the car and there is no way to tell until you get home. It is like a bonus mystery box. We always call to let them know but they always say to keep the items.

Sure, there are issues with produce or other things sometimes but the customer service personnel are always nice and they will throw a $20 coupon into the next order for the inconvenience. Also, beer and wine purchases are allowed as well so that is one fewer stop while running errands.

With as busy as we are in my house with jobs, school and sports, grocery pick up saves a ton of time!

Everywhere is different I am sure but it's a huge benefit for our house.

• Voiceover Mike writes: To be honest, my wife will put in a weekly Target order, something of a holdover from Covid days, and I'm usually the one on pick-up duty. Do I feel a little emasculated, sitting next to soccer moms in their SUVs and Teslas waiting for their orders? Maybe a little. Will I let the Target order picker select produce for me? Nope. I hit the grocery store for that.

If it were my choice, I'd wander the aisles, list in hand, and pick everything myself, but I've been relegated to pick-up duty. Keep up the great work, and never underestimate the importance of what you do for us.

• Tom T. is fired up: Nice fall weather hare in VA. It’s a good day to shake my old man fist at the clouds.

Chris A. really nailed it! Get off your lazy butt and go get your own damn groceries! Also, if you are under 40 and would like to one day own a home, get off your lazy butt and go get your own damn groceries, and then COOK your own damn food. I just do not get the allure of Door Dash, unless you have been drinking beer all day, because nobody should be drinking and driving in this day and age. Also, make your own damn coffee in the morning.

I also LOVE the entitled losers who park in the fire lane while their spouse "runs" into the grocery store "for one thing". I always give ‘em the hairy eyeball as I walk into the grocery store.

• Bob in Cincy says: Our strategy for groceries is to leverage the Kroger pickup for staples such as canned good, frozen items and the like.  No veggies or fruits.  For those we go to Dorthy Lane or Fresh Thyme which are more expensive in general.  The online shopping is convenient I’ll admit, and less expensive than DL or FT.  It works well for us.

Resealable cereal bags were finally invented

• Joe in E. Tennessee checks in: What am I going to do with the twenty or so chip clips that are currently keeping my cereal fresh!?!? I'll run out of room on my refrigerator!!!

Kinsey: The Big Chip Clip lobbyists will not stand for these resealable bags. Just wait. Congress will intervene.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Fall golf

• Darren in NE ATL shares: Had almost forgotten a fall golf memory. Late fall in the 90's, with my dad, north of Dover, DE. Probably low 40's. Pushed a drive near a lake into clumped grass. Got there and a slow moving, big ass snake was right at my ball. Seeing as my one true phobia is snakes, I took a stroke penalty for a lost ball, and ran the he'll away.

Kylie Cantrall is back and she's hinting that the Brewers might want to bring her back for future anthems

You might remember Kylie from Monday Screencaps where I asked you guys if Kylie's Game 2 anthem performance in Milwaukee was the best anthem since Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl. It was Kylie's big breakout performance and it felt like that would be the end of the story.

Nope. There was Los Angeles-native Kylie, 21, Wednesday night leaning right into her relationship with Milwaukee as the franchise was on its way to winning Game 5 and the World Series. "@brewers happy i could b your good luck charm for game 2 ;) thx for having meee," she wrote.

This IG post now has nearly 40k likes.

Kylie's going to mess around and sell out Miller Park one of these days over a simple gesture of a pop singer showing she cares about the people of Milwaukee. This woman is wise beyond her years.

Screencaps Field Trip: I watched Game 5 of the World Series at COSM Detroit

For those of you who don't know what COSM is, it's like going to a massive movie theater with a MASSIVE wraparound IMAX screen that broadcasts the game as an immersive experience where the camera angles make it feel like you're inside the venue.

Last night, it felt like we were sitting on the field behind home plate at Tropicana Field.

Quick hitters:

IT'S EXPENSIVE. UNLESS YOU'RE LOADED, YOU'RE NOT GOING THERE AS A FAMILY VERY OFTEN. You're probably never taking your family there, to be honest. It WILL get expensive very, very fast. Just so we're all clear this is #NOTSPONSORED. I paid my own money.

Price: We paid $77 per person to sit on a three-person couch dead-center on the lowest level they offer in the dome. There were high-top tables on the floor below us, but I highly don't recommend those because you're going to be sitting at a high top for three hours. There are cheaper options to sit in other parts of the building where there are massive screens that will remind you guys of ESPN Zone, but on steroids.

Food prices: Barbacoa nachos were $16 and easily shared between three people. The Bavarian pretzel was $14 and easily shared between at least two people. The pretzel came with pimento cheese, Stroh's beer cheese and mustards. I thought it was wonderful.

Beer prices: I looked, but didn't really look. I think they were $16 for 22 oz or something like that. Again, not cheap.

Atmosphere: Let me repeat, it's expensive. You're not getting many dirtbags at this place. That doesn't mean it's not possible, but the clientele last night was like sitting in an expensive suite at a sporting event. There were a group of kids with their dads, but we're not talking about kids raising hell like they're at Chuck E. Cheese. You have to buy a ticket to even get into COSM. People aren't just walking in like old sports bars.

Cool Factor: Off the charts. Guys, at our age, we've all lived through Damon's Steakhouse (RIP) with its four 100" screens and speakers on the tables that mesmerized all of us. ESPN Zone (RIP) was life-changing. Dave & Busters has great screens to watch games, but the cool factor isn't even close to COSM.

Would I pay $300 to sit in the COSM dome to watch NFL games? No chance. A $300 ticket (yes, Lions fans are paying that) is going to turn into a $600 day at the bar. I'll say it again, the common man should not go here thinking he's at ESPN Zone grabbing a beer and a table. You might be able to sit in one of the other rooms and enjoy yourself, but then you're paying to watch games at a bar.

Yes, I highly recommend it if you need to take a client out for a night: The client is going to have a blast on your company credit card and you're probably going to make the sale because he'll want more trips to COSM. Just make sure you get chair seating along one of the rails in the five lowest levels. A couch with a client is going to be awkward.

Conclusion: Go see it. Don't complain about it being expensive. Let yourself be transported for a few hours and then go back to watching games in your man cave with dollar beers from Costco.

It's no wonder we have a ref shortage in youth sports

Did you guys see this out of Ohio? Watch what happens at midfield. And some people wonder why I'd be so happy that Screencaps Jr. selected cross country as one of his sports. I've never seen a runner snap on the official timing clock at the finishing line.

• Jake in Charlottesville, VA emails on the state of youth soccer: Sports is the one place where 'socialism' is actually required, especially at the youth level. If you let one kid take all of the reps from the other kids, the other kids' parents are going to pull their kids out and you're not going to have a league.

Either suck it up and know that your prodigy child isn't going to be allowed to take all of the reps from the other kids, or move the kid up a level. We had a case in our soccer rec league where a girl was completely dominating her rec league, so they moved her up with the boys.

Needless to say, her domination stopped. The thing was, this girl had become so accustomed to dominating, she had become a spoiled little brat, and couldn't emotionally deal with the fact that she was now very average when she played amongst the boys (this was U8). But hey, there are life lessons for all involved, kids and parents alike.

Questions about Florida Gators girl

• Lee D. in Tampa asks: Two questions: Is this the Gators girl that was "discovered" at a Gators game by ABC? Is this AI?

Kinsey: Yes. I don't think so, but I'm positive. That's definitely Peyton Bloomquist or whatever her name is. As for the video, I've seen the Amalfi Jets guy do content for probably 18 months or so. I think this is the same guy.

Keep in mind that right now, sororities are teaming with major brands on content marketing. Massive corporations like Nike are working with sororities to push clothing. I could see Amalfi throwing Peyton a free flight for appearing in a video.

Resealable cereal boxes and weirdos picking your produce and groceries

• Chris A. emails: Really, it took this long for a cereal box to have a liner that actually keeps the cereal fresh? It's almost impossible to open the plastic bags inside the boxes without tearing them halfway down the side, but trying to open the aluminum foil-like bags in a box of Sugar Smacks without tearing it all the way to the bottom was futile. I've been wondering when this day would come.

And BTW, I would NEVER have someone else pick out my groceries, even the canned stuff. But when I go to Walmart for groceries, the aisles are filled with grocery pickers who outnumber the pick-your-own shoppers. Unless you're really old or really handicapped, put down the phone and get your lazy behind to the grocery store. But those same people would park in the fire lane to shop, so maybe they should stay home.

Video work calls and beer cans

• 'Sheriff' John in Houston checks in: 1) I hate it intensely, but the age of "conference calls" and "dial-ins" is coming to an end. Everything is a zoom or teams meeting now. I much prefer sitting and listening on my headset while farting around doing something else. Hate having the camera on. At least I don't have a boss telling me that I MUST turn on my camera as a matter of POLICY, that would really suck.

Nonetheless, I've lately had contractors and counterparties make comments during meetings lately that they prefer to have the cameras on and they don't trust people who just do audio only. ARRRGGH. You don't need to see me for me to tell you your proposal costs 20% too much. I feel like the guy who insists on using a paper ticket at the airport. Just old and out of date.

Cameras are so prevalent now, I've procured a green screen to pull down behind my desk so that I can just project an image of my office cleaned up behind me and not show the pile of papers and junk and extension cords that accumulates behind me. It's literally a picture of my own office during my zoom calls, but it's cleaned up.

2) My older son isn't quite as old as Rick's sons, just a sophomore in college, but he too makes a mess with beer cans and bottles when he's home. Drives me and my wife crazy. We ask him to clean up after himself and he gets about 90-95% of the way there, but still a mess. He needs to find a woman of his own to snap him into gear and be less of a slob. I think that's just part of normal male growing up. I think back to my bachelor days and I was pretty terrible, too, until I met my wife.

That's it this morning. The sun is out & it's going to be 76 today. I'm dragging after getting five hours of sleep, but there's work to do and a yard to mow tonight. It's time to get after it before a critical Halloween weekend and Mrs. Screencaps' birthday.

Go have a great one.
