  - No, Caldwell is Dungylite. I would be shocked if Tressel does not get it. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 10:46 2
    - I wouldn't wish Tressel on anyone. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:52 1
      - Oh, agreed. Hopelly Luck will say "no" and the Colts will kick him to the curb. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 10:54
  - Nah, they just didn't go far enough. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:22
- *blink blink* -- nm - Jim Caldwell Jan 2, 08:41
Who's broken their Resolution already? -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 08:32 6
- My resolutions were all about doing specific things, so I can't officially have broken my resolution until next year. -- nm - Dano Jan 2, 09:26 1

- I hope it -- nm - Krusty Jan 2, 08:37 10
  - it's to announce the firing of Schottenheimer. -- nm - Krusty Jan 2, 08:38 9
    - How long does Rex Ryan have? If he has another bad season like this is he gone? -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 08:58 6
      - Possibly. Not sure how much is his fault and how much is the general managers fault for not giving him the players he needed. - Krusty Jan 2, 09:14 2
        
        Depends on how they lose. Yesterday's infighting is just bad form; especially since he named the main guy a Captain - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:16 1
        
        Good point. He has to get his head out of the sand when it comes to the offense. - Krusty Jan 2, 09:23
      - Rex Ryan should be Exhibit A of why you don't talk shit until you've actually hoisted the trophy over your head. - Stephen Jan 2, 09:10 2
        
        I really hope he shuts it next season. Won't happen but I would like him so much more if he let the play on the field do the talking. -- nm - Krusty Jan 2, 09:15 1

- i havent even bothered to start the main dragon quest line. - tRuMaN Jan 2, 09:11 1
  - Hmm. The first two, I did not even know I was doing the main quest. The third, I did. - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 10:48
- I put a lot more time into it last week, up to about level 30. - Ender Jan 2, 08:39 3
  - Wow. I'm only up to level 12! -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 08:44 2
    - I think I'm up to about 37 hours of actual play time according to my save file. -- nm - Ender Jan 2, 08:47 1
      - (And it looks like I'm not even half way through the main quest.) -- nm - Ender Jan 2, 08:49
- ... this includes spoil - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 08:27
What would be some good meals that are easy to make now, and can be frozen for cooking at a later date? - kelly Jan 2, 08:22 11

- My wife has starting doing a whole bunch of stuff that way. - spamlet Jan 2, 08:29 3
  - I'll check that out, thanks. - kelly Jan 2, 08:32 2
    - There is also a Facebook page for crock pot girls or something like that does a lot of crock pot recipes as well. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 08:46 1
      - Thanks for telling me about that once a month site - I found some recipes there that sound super easy (and delicious). -- nm - kelly Jan 2, 10:45
- Enchiladas -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 08:28
- Groiny's chicken -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 08:23 3
  - I think we were the only ones so far who weren't in love with that chicken. It was pretty good, but I wound up throwing more away than we ate. -- nm - kelly Jan 2, 08:26 2
    - Was that the spicy chicken the other week? - Will Hunting Jan 2, 08:31 1
      - Yeah, the buffalo chicken from a month or so ago. -- nm - kelly Jan 2, 08:32
- Stew, chili -- nm - Epiphany Jan 2, 08:23

Beaker, Pick This was me, thanks! This was a fun Pick 'Em season, coming down to the very last week... - Stephen Jan 2, 08:09 2

  - i.e., "i've failed you, jenbro, just like pixie predicted" -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 2, 10:31
ST should get a kick out of this - have you heard about a band named "The Molly Ringwalds"? - GregW Jan 2, 07:57 2
- Hmm, are they any good? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 2, 08:10 1
  - Never heard them myself, but I suspect they put on a good show. -- nm - GregW Jan 2, 08:17
Question for crafty types. I need a rack like this for my canvases. But this is expensive. - loosilu Jan 2, 07:50 4
- I could see doing something using pre-made shelving and using dowels as the dividers - but I don't know if I could describe it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 2, 08:40 2
  - I've looked at premade shelving with this exact idea... but it's nowhere near deep enough. The canvas rack is 24" deep and you really need it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 08:59 1
    - and I also need the solid dividers, not dowels, because the canvases are many different sizes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 09:01
- Rate My Rack? -- nm - psilotum Jan 2, 08:08
It's official: Rams have fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo -- nm - budice Jan 2, 07:42 1
- ze link -- (link) - budice Jan 2, 07:52
Bah, LivingSocial is offering a 1/2 price coupon ($100 for $50) but you have to spend $250 to use it. - MojaveMeg Jan 2, 07:36
HOU, NO, ATL, PIT - Reagen Jan 2, 07:21 10
- ATL? aw, where's the love -- nm - mud Jan 2, 07:44
- I will take the Giants (at home) over the ATL. Think they're dangerous this healthy. -- nm - budice Jan 2, 07:37 2
  - Sucker. -- nm - David Jan 2, 08:36 1
    - heh -- nm - mud Jan 2, 08:38
- this, except I think Denver gets the upset -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 07:29 5
  - What do you see in them that sways you? - Will Hunting Jan 2, 07:36 3
    - nothing. -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 08:42 2
      - a favorite is bound to lose though. I could see Houston losing too with all their injuries -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 08:42 1
        
        I'd far more believe Houston loses to Cincy (who's been frisky but a cut below) - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:12
  - I would love to see Dick LeBeau let Polamalu off of the leash against Tebow. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 2, 07:33
Sad news --- Darth Vader has died - Will Hunting Jan 2, 06:58 15
- I love that Lucas sounds like a dick in this piece. - Mel Profit Jan 2, 07:11 14
  - And wasn't the "myth" already busted by that point as we knew it was voiced by JEJ and played by another? -- nm - Stephen Jan 2, 08:16 3
    - Yeah but it really made Prowse look worthless (which he was). -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 09:04 2
      - the natural audio from the set is hilarious. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 10:39 1
        
        He is such a dick. Having hung out with him, I was shocked how much so. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud & FJS Champion Jan 2, 10:53
  - It was a different era. These days, you can't get away with crediting the student coordinator and choreographer. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 07:27 7
    - Also, while I don't disagree, the article says Anderson was responsible for one of those "awful" duels. - Mop Jan 2, 07:30 6
      - I don't know if he was good at his job... - Mel Profit Jan 2, 07:54 5
        
        Darth and Ben got old. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 08:28
        
        He had the same job on Princess Bride and those duels were pretty good. -- nm - TWuG Jan 2, 07:55 3
        
        and the Lord of the Rings films - znufrii Jan 2, 08:43
        
        Excellent duel. The weakness of Ep 4 may have been due to Alec's age or the limitations of the Darth costume. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 08:31 1
        
        I'd bet it had more to do with budget and (Lucas's) "vision" issues. -- nm - TWuG Jan 2, 08:39
  - Yep. And I like Hamill basically giving the guy credit on his own. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 07:13 1
    - that makes sense because he's the guy he worked with every day for months -- nm - z-tabulous Jan 2, 11:30
Bery - Sherlock season 1 Blu-Ray is out and the extras are just as good as the series. I <3 Cumberbatch and Freeman -- nm - Buzz Jan 2, 06:17 1

The CC Battle Royales have started for those interested. Details on how to join here -- (link) - Beaker Jan 2, 05:59 5

  - I'm in the Netherlands one now, pretty fun. 20 round max limit, 3 minute rounds -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 06:22 3

        and people who know mma think it's very lame - ceregon Jan 2, 07:24 3
        
        sure... just like rocky shows fighters getting punched in the face 75x a round - stewie Jan 2, 08:12 2
        
        I might be more interested in it if it didn't hit the cliches in it's advertising - Will Hunting Jan 2, 08:19 1
        
        The movie is totally cliche, but it is done well. -- nm - Dano Jan 2, 09:25
