Patriots cut Brandon tate -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 13:19
Dear Warrick Dunn: I love you but you're just not a good broadcaster yet. -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 13:03 2
- Which game? -- nm - David Sep 3, 13:05 1
  - Clemson/Troy on ESPN3 or WatchESPN or whatever they're calling it this week. -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 13:08
Just saw a commercial for Maruchan, the makers of Top Ramen - amoxy Sep 3, 13:02 3
- The yakisoba ad ? It's been getting play on the food and cooking channels. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 3, 13:25 2
  - Costco sells it...not bad. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 13:34
  - That reminds me to ask - Anyone have Sesame Chicken Ramen where they are? -- nm - the liioulu with radio Sep 3, 13:31
The failed prequels are on Spike TV if any of you greasy fanboys would like to take this opportunity to admit I was right. - David Sep 3, 13:02 2
- Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 3, 13:35
- agreed....awful bloated stuff. Could have been so much more. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 13:03
Beta Test for Diablo 3 is imminent. -- (link) - Qale Sep 3, 12:49
And Notre Dame's kharmic season begins. -- nm - Elvis Sep 3, 12:49
Netflix offered $300 milly for Starz but was turned down as the company wanted to charge customers directly a premium for Starz content -- (link) - Qale Sep 3, 12:41 9
- The last paragraph of this is why they need each other and will have to work out a deal. - David Sep 3, 12:52 3
  - Amazon already has the tier-pricing abilities available unless you ignore Amazon Prime's free for all, so it might be a good match. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:58 2
    - It all depends on whether Amazon wants to come out and play. Starz is openly begging them to get involved. -- nm - David Sep 3, 13:00 1
      - The upcoming Amazon tablet, er, New Kindle might help things along too. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 13:29
- Also, it's not just Starz stuff that will disappear. Apparently also some movies from Walt Disney Pictures and Sony Pictures -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:42 4
  - That's the real Starz stuff. Netflix isn't offering $300M for their original shows. - TFox Sep 3, 12:47 3
    - Someday, I'd like to find out whether Starz had a master strategy in play or simply lucked out to an epic degree. - David Sep 3, 12:55 1
      - Well, see, it all started when I decided instead of ending the name with an 's,' I would end with a 'z.' It's cooler. -- nm - Chris Albrecht, CEO Sep 3, 13:00
    - Right. I was kind of drawing out the distinction that they were offering 300 million for whatever Starz essentially plays on their channel. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 12:51
Time to wake up the echoes! GO IRISH! -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Sep 3, 12:36
Patriots cut Brandon Meriweather -- nm - stewie Sep 3, 12:32 1
- Atlanta and Kansas City are probably already on the phone with his agent. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:33
Call of Duty Web series by Ridley and Tony Scott -- (link) - Remlik Sep 3, 12:32
Joey Galloway doesn't sound like I thought he'd sound like. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:30
Can I put money on Auburn losing 5 games this year? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:28 2
- They had very strong QB play today, which surprised me. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:33
- ...we'll take that bet -- nm - SEC Sep 3, 12:30
That ball should be spotted on the 1ft line. There's no way from the behind the end zone camera, he was still on his feet when the ball went in. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:20 8
- Agreed. Not a TD. I looked away for a bit, did they review it? - Krusty Sep 3, 12:22 7
  - Cursory review. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:22 6
    - Terrible time to blow a call like that. I hope Utah St. drives all the way on them. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 12:23 5
      - All in all, it's moot becuase they'd just run it in on the next play or so...less time to drive. And BC just ran the worst game-end set I've ever see -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:24 4
        
        I think it's a huge missed call. No reason they couldn't stuff them two more times. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 12:26
        
        Right. I couldn't tell if it was a TD from that angle but Utah State would have only had time for one or two plays that way. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:26 2
        
        The angle from behind the end zonr and over the top of the line was perfect. He never crossed the line. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 12:27 1
        
        If he crossed the line with the ball before his knee is down, he should do limbo contests for a living. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:28
Happy International Bacon Day! -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 12:16
Unbelievable!!! -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:13 3
- crazy 4 minutes -- nm - prayformojo Sep 3, 12:19 2
  - They win that game maybe 5 times out of 100. I'm shocked. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:32 1
    - especially with an untested quareterback -- nm - prayformojo Sep 3, 12:34
Upset of the season may happen in the next 15 minutes. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:04 8
- Spoiler - Krusty Sep 3, 12:20
- Great game so far -- nm - Stephen Sep 3, 12:10 2
  - Holy crap -- nm - Stephen Sep 3, 12:13
  - It really has been. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:10
- I can't believe that TCU gave up 50. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:07 2
  - First games of the year are always weird. -- nm - David Sep 3, 12:08 1
    - Fire Gene Chizik! - Will Hunting Sep 3, 12:12
- yeah -- nm - prayformojo Sep 3, 12:05
Dr. Who cats.... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 3, 11:45
Both Warrior and Contagion are getting really good reviews and with Drive and Moneyball this could be a strong September (post Labor Day) -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 11:01 8
- I find it baffling how Warrior can get good reviews. It's easly one of the worst trailers of the year and that includes the Footloose remake. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 11:17 5
  - They aren't just good reviews. They're actually great reviews. The Fighter/Rocky/Raging Bull comparisons, Tom Hardy is the new Brando, etc. -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 11:57 2
    - I'm actually bummed that there doesn't appear to be a theater showing the sneak preview tomorrow here. -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 12:45 1
      - I've got Real Steel passes to giveaway! -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 13:01
  - it's got Kurt Angle in it! -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:20 1
    - You Suck! You Suck! -- (link) - Qale Sep 3, 11:22 [youtube]
- Little Edge cut by the Colts -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:11 1
  - sorry meant to post above. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:13
I am a great uncle. My nephew & his wife are parents of a girl. 5 pounds 13 oz. no name yet and a she was quick birth -- nm - peglegpete Sep 3, 10:52 11
- nice -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 3, 12:32
- Well, I dunno about *great*. - Qale Sep 3, 11:17 4
  - you gotta be kiddin me, an uncle with a comic store and named pegleg? how cool is that? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 11:37 3
    - he doesn't have a comic store...he's got art pages I'm sure he would let the sticky baby touch. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:43 2
      - store like hoard, maybe? Cache? :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 3, 13:29 1
        
        (er, and to be clear, I don't mean hoard as in hoarder, just to describe a collection) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 3, 13:30
- very nice. -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 11:07
- lights up a cheroot -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 11:05
- congrats! -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 11:04

- Mazel! -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 10:55
Baltimore Grand Prix. The sound is incredible. -- nm - Max Sep 3, 10:45 1
- No sign of Pimp Dawson yet -- nm - Max Sep 3, 11:43
Holy moley the cover charge for Peter Rauhofer is high tonight. $15 before eleven, $25. Did promoters not get the message the economy ain't fixed yet? -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 10:43 4
- the fee is so those trust fund babies don't have to mingle with real people -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 11:07 1
  - Yeah, I think imma going to skip this one. -- nm - Qale Sep 3, 11:16
- From DJ cover charges youve mentioned before ATLs scene is something.... - MDH Sep 3, 10:54 1
  - I don't understand what you mean about his booking fee being nothing. I would think for someone like him it would be a couple grand plus airfare - Qale Sep 3, 11:14
Auburn-Utah State is *fun* so far. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:02 1
- I just switched from Akron-Ohio St. - Krusty Sep 3, 10:15
I am going crawdad fishing for about 4-5 hours. How many will I catch? -- nm - GO DUCKS! Sep 3, 09:55 2

- 312,5 -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 3, 09:58
Has anyone read Alison Wonderland? It's $0.99 for the kindle deal of the day. -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 3, 09:42
the UFC's debut on Fox will feature a single fight for the Heavyweight title - stewie Sep 3, 09:27 17
- Also... Alistair Overeem told Bas Rutten he's very close to signing with the UFC - stewie Sep 3, 10:02 2
  - So, UFC fired him from Strikeforce only to resign him? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 10:27 1
    - the problem was he had 1 fight left on his Strikeforce deal and the Grand Prix final would have been 2 more fights - stewie Sep 3, 10:51
- uhhhhhhh why not double up on fights like this and an Aldo fight - Will Hunting Sep 3, 09:32 5
  - they couldn't have a title fight and another without pushing it to 2 hours - stewie Sep 3, 09:43 3
    - They'll probably do it like ppvs. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 10:04
    - Then cut the difference, 90 minutes....that'll permit you at most if everything goes full-on, 40minutes of fights - Will Hunting Sep 3, 09:45 1
      - I like the idea of the first fight people see being the big one - stewie Sep 3, 10:00
  - yeah I'd book two major fights and have a really great intro program -- nm - Remlik Sep 3, 09:40
- An hour and they're only showing one fight? That's crap. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 09:30 7
  - Are there timed rounds? Is it live? How does this work? -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 09:54 2
    - I believe it's live and the rounds are timed. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 10:01 1
      - Live... title fights are up to five 5 min rounds... other fights are 3 rounds -- nm - stewie Sep 3, 10:02
  - They'll run us as an introduction and show a ton of highlights. -- nm - David Sep 3, 09:32 3
    - Nothing better than a highlight show. Ugh! - Krusty Sep 3, 09:42
    - I just wish they'd show something else that will give a bigger newbie introduction to the variances in the sprot - Will Hunting Sep 3, 09:41
    - run *this*...I'm too distracted by football. -- nm - David Sep 3, 09:36
Just me and Kieran today ... not sure what we'll get up to. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 3, 09:22 3
- Strip club. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 09:24 2
  - That would be teasing -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 3, 09:33 1
    - "For you or the boy?" "Yes." -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 09:53
Palladia is showing Glastonbury for the next while. (Who is the ST Robyn fan?) - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 09:03 2
- Thank you! -- nm - MDH Sep 3, 09:31 1
  - Judging by what I watched earlier, it will probably only be a few songs. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 09:58

Good morning from the western suburbs of Chicago. - CovingtonCat Sep 3, 03:47 9
- If you like pottery you really must make a trip to the southwest (or have you, already?) Acoma Pueblo in NM is spectacular, also Zuni. - MojaveMeg Sep 3, 07:17 3
  - Yes. That's where I fell in love with black pottery. Wish I could afford something by Maria. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 3, 08:18 2
    - I had one of her pieces in the collection I studied for my Master's project. Just a plain black dish but it was signed. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 3, 08:20 1
