LIR, uh, stupid guy question, why can't you freeze, unfreeze and then refreeze meat? - sycor Nov 28, 13:36 3
- USDA actually it's safe to refreeze, *if* it was thawed in the fridge. But refreezing affects the quality of the meat. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 28, 13:38 2
  - meh, I take hamburger out of the freezer and thaw in the sink and then change my mind and refreeze it. Hasn't killed me yet. -- nm - sycor Nov 28, 13:42 1
    - maybe it has worked for you, but I wouldn't feed it to others who aren't as healthy. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 13:43
From CNN twitter: Herman Cain tells CNN that a new accuser is coming forward. Cain says the woman will say they had an affair. - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 13:34 3

Follow up to Amoxy's post. I can't believe that girl's principal told her to apologize to Gov. Brownback for her tweet. - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 13:29 1
- Brownback just apologized that his staff went too far -- (link) - amoxy Nov 28, 13:30

- Did you see the $20 for $40 worth of Newegg merchandise link earlier? -- nm - David Nov 28, 13:31
The Talking Dead was an inspired show choice for AMC. I've really enjoyed it. -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:25 12
- They're lucky they also opted to produce the Walking Dead, or else they wouldn't have much to talk about. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 13:29
- Did you watch it last night too? I really like the host - and it's really helped me since I've never read them before. - And a JenBro in a Pear Tree Nov 28, 13:28 8

- "hi guys, first time caller long time watcher. so why is shane such an angry dumbass?" -- nm - jingle pixie Nov 28, 13:27
Now that we have it in-hand, I can say... we bought a wealth of LEGOs at Kmart late last night. - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 13:22
from b3: Groiny. What was your first character? What's the new one going to be? - Qale Nov 28, 13:22 6
- plus, I have so many quests active, I am going to try to just do one at a time. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:24 1

Kurt Warner tells Tim Tebow to chill a bit on the Jesus stuff -- (link) - crash davis Nov 28, 13:12 19
- which is more than Kurt ever said to his wife -- nm - David Nov 28, 13:32
- Because Tebow's been known to be a fan of subtlety. -- nm - nubby Nov 28, 13:17
- Jesus tells Tim Tebow to chill a bit on the Jesus stuff. He's a busy man. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 28, 13:17
- If Jesus took your call, wouldn't you answer? -- nm - budice Nov 28, 13:15 15
  - Jesus doesn't care who wins a football game -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:18 13
    - imagine if he did however. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:20 6
      - the big thing that gets me is when athletes thank Jesus for their victory, the implication is that Jesus loves the other guys less -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:21 5
        
        When the Cardinals lost in the last seconds to the Steelers in the Super Bowl, did Warner thank Jesus? -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 13:23 3
        
        Honestly, I'm not sure. But I bet Warner did thank him for the opportunity -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:24 2
        
        I remeber specifically watching the post game interviews. Warner came out of the locker room talked for 2-3 minutes - amoxy Nov 28, 13:26 1
        
        ah, and I agree with you -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:26
        
        the more violent the contest the funnier the Jesus Thanking. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:22
    - Who do you think called down for us to change our name? -- nm - Tampa Bay Rays Nov 28, 13:19 2
      - well Jesus does care that the devil is mentioned twice in the same division -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:22 1

a lawyer should know he got legitimately beaten by Spawn -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:08 11
- [deleted] 10
  - is every loss to Spawn illegitimate? -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:10 8
    - [deleted] 7
      - how? did the commish change the points on you? otherwise, I think you just lost to Spawn and that is it -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:13 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I have to defend Spawn because when the hard decision about what to do with pixie during the zombie apocalypse comes, I want him to back me up -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:19 4

    - i always have a hard time photographing cupcakes or muffins. cookies too, actually. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 13:16 3
      - Styling cookies! just found this. Do you have any books on the topic? -- (link) - loosilu Nov 28, 13:20 2
        
        ooh, i want that book! i have no food styling/photography books; i just try things and see what works (or semi-works). -- nm - kare Nov 28, 13:27 1
        
        I stumbled across a fantastic looking blog as well. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 28, 13:31

Samara and David could form a super-team of IR players. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 13:04 5
- Who did Samara lose other than Charles? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 13:24 2
  - Jennings, Britt, Andre Johnson for a while, Antonio Gates for a while, Chris Johnson sucking. 4 of those were keepers. -- nm - samara Nov 28, 13:31 1
    - I probably should have told you to trade Johnson. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 13:46
- I have..noticed -- nm - budice Nov 28, 13:16
- It's hard to be an Evil Bitch when you've lost all your nasty. -- nm - samara Nov 28, 13:13
TEBOW!!!!!! -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:02 52
- people below bring up good points, but seem to be ignoring the fact that Tebow can get better as well -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 13:28 11
  - He's played this way his whole life yet any improvement as a passer is modest at best. - David Nov 28, 13:33
  - Thank you. And he is improving every week. he made some really nice throws yesterday. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:29 9
    - [deleted] 3
      - And no one's mentioned that the Broncos traded away his Pro Bowl WR. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:35 2
        
        For what Tebow does (chuck it downfield and pray for the best), one guy is the same as any other. - David Nov 28, 13:37
        
        Cutler feels his pain. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:35
    - The poor throwing and relying on the defense reminds me of Kyle Orton's first year. And Orton didn't have those feet. I'm not saying Tebow will - crash davis Nov 28, 13:32
    - maybe, it sounds like what he needs to fix, is the hardest thing to do so. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:29 3
      - I'm very excited for what he'll be like next year. When he's had an offseason as "the guy". People forget, he was basically a rookie coming into - Jim Nov 28, 13:31 2
        
        maybe, but will he even get the chance. - groiny Nov 28, 13:34 1
        
        If he keeps winning, I'm not sure Elway will have a choice. - Jim Nov 28, 13:36
- at some point, he is going to have to throw to win a game, and then you are hosed. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:03 39
  - What we are finding out right now is which defenses in the NFL are poorly coached and lack discipline. - David Nov 28, 13:16 2
    - What it reminds me of is when I play Horse with my kids. Sometimes, I'll just sit there and stand right next to the hoop making easy shots. After a - Jim Nov 28, 13:18
    - (This is the NFL equivalent of Farrow's statistically improbable prophball run about 10 years ago.) -- nm - David Nov 28, 13:17
  - when defenses figure him and Cam Newton out, they're gonna have to relearn how to QB -- nm - Remlik Nov 28, 13:14 8
    - Newton is easy to figure out. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 13:40
    - Newton is to Tebow as a Porsche is to a tricycle. -- nm - David Nov 28, 13:17 6
      - I don't know. 1 of these guys can pick a team up on his back and will them to victory. One cannot. - Jim Nov 28, 13:25 5
        
        The problem is that a game is comprised of 80 plays and he only makes 12 of them. Newton can make 40-50. - David Nov 28, 13:35 3
        
        I fear for the AFC West and the rest of the league if Tebow ever starts to play in the other 3 quarters. - Jim Nov 28, 13:38 2
        
        I fear what happens when wide receivers are using jetpacks. - groiny Nov 28, 13:39 1
        
        ^pro bowl. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 13:40
        
        No way Tebow wins anymore games at Carolina then Newton has. That defense is awful. Denver's is good. - Inigo Nov 28, 13:28
  - They have two tough games the rest of the way, Chicago and NE though they are both at Denver -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 13:07 9
    - [deleted] 6
      - It's insane. Best case is 4-1 to finish with 10 wins. Probably go 3-2 and finish 9-7, just out of the playoffs. - Jim Nov 28, 13:12
      - that Cutler injury was like a stake to the heart here. - groiny Nov 28, 13:11 4
        
        The game was far closer than it had any right to be but I put that squarely on the DEF - oblique Nov 28, 13:13 3
        
        it was a shit game plan when you are rushing for 150 yards in the 3rd. - groiny Nov 28, 13:14 2
        
        They really gave it away. The call that led to the interception at the end of the half was ridiculous. - pmb Nov 28, 13:32 1
        
        I think Haney will be ok, but they sure have to give it a better game plan than what they had yesterday. - groiny Nov 28, 13:37
    - The Bears game got a lot less interesting when Cutler went down. That was gonna be a fun one. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:07 1
      - They could easily go 4-1 the rest of the way -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 13:09
  - I know, that's what everyone keeps saying. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:06 1
    - It is smoke and mirrors. I know you need to win, and he accomplishes that.... - groiny Nov 28, 13:08
  - [deleted] 14
    - Who knows what happens to the dude in the late stages of the game, but he keeps making the throws when they absolutely count. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:07
    - his completion % sucks. - groiny Nov 28, 13:05 12
      - [deleted] 11
        
        eventually, that number will bite him, while it has not done it yet. - groiny Nov 28, 13:09 10
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        The NE game will be very interesting. Will our defense step up...and can they stop our ground game? - Jim Nov 28, 13:14
        
        I can see the NE score similar to the Detroit game a couple of weeks ago -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 13:12 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I'm pretty sure the NE secondary consists of a bunch of guys who fled Alabama recently. - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:17 5
        
        So you're saying that Eric Decker could have a decent game? Sweet. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 13:28
        
        Hey - we're getting better! -- nm - Julian 'Snatch' Edelman Nov 28, 13:20 3
        
        I think he thinks there's pussy in the footballs. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:20 2
        
        you mean...there isn't? -- nm - Julian 'Snatch' Edelman Nov 28, 13:26 1
        
        yes, Julian. Yes there is. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 13:27
