  - i'm sure i have. but i'm talking about the people that are pretty clearly behind their own leaks. - Andie Sep 14, 10:28 1
    - oh, I have no idea what they're thinking. I don't think Scarlett leaked these. but on the other hand, as Kirstie Alley demonstrates, celebs are nuts -- nm - Max Sep 14, 10:28

I'm impressed by our state vector control hotline. I filed a 'dead crow' report on line and they called within about 5 minutes to confirm the details - MojaveMeg Sep 14, 10:17 2
- i really thought this said "dead cow"....nm - x Sep 14, 10:18 1
  - Nah, that would be Animal Control. Crows carry West Nile Virus so are handled by Vector Control. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 14, 10:23

  - Of course. This is ST. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 14, 10:07
- can we poll this, because I'm curious. do you take nude pictures of yourself with your phone? - amanda jones Sep 14, 10:00 24
  - My theory is that with X number of new nudes appearing online everyday and X number of cameras in public and semi-private areas.... - Name Withheld By Request Sep 14, 10:22
  - not in a million years. -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 10:20
  - heck no! there isn't a single nude of me in existence, at least that i know about. -- nm - colin Sep 14, 10:20
  - wow, phones take pictures?....nm - x Sep 14, 10:17 1
    - welcome to Tomorrowland! -- nm - moles Sep 14, 10:23
  - I like the way I look but I've never been a fan of getting my picture taken. -- nm - David Sep 14, 10:14 2
    - if Crash saw pictures of you he might come hunting for Bigfoot in the Tenn area. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 10:19 1
      - Oh, I have big feet. You know it, ladies. -- nm - David Sep 14, 10:21
  - If you don't include one with your cover sheet and resume, you'll never be hireable. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 10:09

    - she hasn't been for a while now -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 10:12 2
      - depends on when the pics were taken :) (and I didn't know they went splits) -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 10:17

    - Because they secretly enjoy the attention? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 10:05 3
      - in ScarJo's case, i would say this probably isn't true. she's never really flaunted relationships for press value, why do this? -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 10:21
      - Or not so secretly, in some cases. - musubi Sep 14, 10:09
      - this -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 10:07

BTW, has anyone ever checked to see if Mariano Rivera is an ageless cyborg pitching machine from the future? (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 09:57 30
- with one friggin' pitch no less. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 14, 10:02
- G.O.A.T.! Seems to be a lack of coverage of his run to the record. - Krusty Sep 14, 10:02 26
  - [deleted] 22
    - no, saves are the most meaningless stat in the books. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:09 21

        just stop it. - groiny Sep 14, 10:14 8

        top 3 headlines on ESPN MLB Page right now....... - groiny Sep 14, 10:24 2
        
        (because they're suddenly being challenged for the WC and one of their main producers is going out?) - TFox Sep 14, 10:26 1

        It's us and the Red Sox all day. If I wasn't a fan of either team I'd hate watching ESPN most days. -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 10:16 3

        the Tigers are on a ridiculous run right now, they have to get some coverage.... - groiny Sep 14, 10:21 1
        
        [deleted]
      - While I mostly agree, regardless of the "save", Mo has been absolutely unreal. Like almost literally unreal. - musubi Sep 14, 10:11 10
        
        he has been a phenominal "pitcher", but to celebrate his 600 saves, is mostly like - groiny Sep 14, 10:13 9
        
        ROUND NUMBERS! -- nm - American public Sep 14, 10:16
        
        It's a arbitrary stat, but it is a milestone. Think about it this way, Wins are also arbitrary but they do mark "something". - musubi Sep 14, 10:15 7
        
        I just wanna know what the # is going to be for saves. I figure the biggies 500/300/3000 are excellence over a 20 year time frame - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:22
        
        see, you have to go 5 innings as a SP to get a Win. You have to get one batter out to get a save. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:18 5
        
        I'm not saying they're equal. They're merely recordings of something that happened. Regardless of the stats intrinsic value, Mo's been ridiculously - musubi Sep 14, 10:23 4
        
        I do not disagree with that. Just that putting the pedistal there for 600 saves is kind of pointless. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:25 3
        
        I think it's going to be a long time, with the way modern bullpens work, before you see another guy hit 600. - TFox Sep 14, 10:26 2
        
        As hard as modern arms throw/burn out, I really think 600 is a generational number. - musubi Sep 14, 10:31
        
        that is very possible, as a lot of things have to go right to get that many saves over that time frame. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:27
  - It's insane how consistantly good he is. In terms of modern relievers, I really do believe he's the G.O.A.T. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 10:07 2
    - And like Mel said, he's done it with basically one pitch. Hoffman may have 601 but he's still not in Rivera's league. - Krusty Sep 14, 10:11 1
      - Best modern RP that *anyone* has ever seen. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 10:13
- I remember after they won in 96, they let Wetteland go. My thought at the time how stupid - amoxy Sep 14, 10:00 1
  - I did too. I wanted them to keep Rivera in the 8th with Wetteland closing. - Krusty Sep 14, 10:04
The Pacific Blu-Ray for $38 -- (link) - Remlik Sep 14, 09:54 2
- GoHastings occasionally does 3 for $30 Blu-Ray deals and HBO box sets are included. - David Sep 14, 10:12 1
  - I hesitated on Band of Brothers Blu for $15 and I'm still mad about it. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 10:14

    - The IM: I keep seeing that phrase, I guess it's a meme... what does it mean? -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 10:21 1
      - Ah. I guess it's from The Simpsons - con_carne Sep 14, 10:26 [youtube]
is it sad that I am waiting to see if a woot-off killer is listed today, cause I want to buy a roomba. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 09:52 1

Bob Zmuda's outburst on The Green Room is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. - David Sep 14, 09:43 1
- It kind of struck me as pretty standard Tony Clifton. -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 09:45
[deleted] 10
- Should be C, but is probably not. -- nm - TWuG Sep 14, 09:49
- C -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 09:47
- Because of the title of this post, I assume they did D. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 09:46 6

    - Makes sense but I still think he should get it all. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 14, 09:56

    - I kinda agree with this. Dude get's half the winnings, other two tickets get a quarter. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 09:58

bc/nc online place to use as a guide I linked.... - Remlik Sep 14, 09:41 2
- Thank you! -- nm - bc/nc Sep 14, 09:47 1
  - the buying prices are pretty accurate. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 09:55
Over/under in points scored for NE/SD Sunday: 80 - prayformojo Sep 14, 09:40 2
- 60 of it for New England? -- nm - David Sep 14, 10:05
- It opened at 51.5 and jumped to 54 a little bit ago. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 09:44
The rise of Cam Newton is... a little surprising to me. FBG has upgraded him to a low QB1/great QB2. Really? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 09:34 20
- The logic is that running QBs are massive fantasy players. Even if Newton struggles as a starter, he'll still be a decent fantasy play. - David Sep 14, 10:04 3
  - Thus the reason I wanted Vick. 187/2 = 17.35pts....add in the 97 rushing, I'm sitting at 25ppg. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 10:31
  - Next year, I'm probably going to have to decide whether to keep him for the price of a 5th round pick. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 10:07 1
    - We'll find out a lot more about him as a pro as the season progresses but he tore up the SEC in a way I hadn't believed possible. -- nm - David Sep 14, 10:16
- He had a historic week for a rookie QB. But Arizona traded away their only DB and his team still lost. - Jim Sep 14, 09:45 3
  - Team wins/losses mean nothing in fantasy football. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 09:47 2
    - One theory is to go for the RB's on good teams and the QB's/WR's on bad teams. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 09:51 1
      - I believe in that rule for bye week fill-ins. - musubi Sep 14, 09:53
- Should I start him over Tom Brady in Week 2? (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 09:38 4
  - Yes, Guy. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 09:39 1

    - Have you seen the numbers Woody put up Mon+Tues? I've already lost. - musubi Sep 14, 09:41

    - *winning* -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 14, 09:40
  - I think I'm going to roll the dice with him. My alternative is Kevin Kolb at Redskins. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 09:37
