I didn't think I was the one even though it was the only word I could think of.

I love orange tictacs too. If I buy any, I'll go right through them unaware that I've done little more than start on them.

I might have been better primed to choose this word if this were yesterday's puzzle.

Honestly I've been leaning more and more that way too.
But, one thing I think the current system does well is allow some players to bloom who never would have under the system of a few years ago. Players like Diego Pavia. And I'm modestly heartened that money isn't everything (see Indiana and Cignetti).

But yeah, Congress needs to re-empower the NCAA to govern over some matters. I'd like to see all the players get some modest payment. I'd like to see changes to the portal such that developing players over time is the norm again, which would add stability and social development to players' lives, and of course help them get an actual education.

Interesting piece: Dogs Build Their Vocabularies Like Toddlers.
At least some Dogs who know the (individual) names of their toys can also learn these toy names indirectly, by hearing people talking only among themselves about the toys. I'mma test this on Redford – he knows the names of some of his toys.
