SITWAP - Did we know about this art forger who donates 'famous works of art' to smaller museums? - Andie Apr 4, 07:03
That Draw Something infographic was something. 1/3rd of all drawings made in the game were within the last week.... 1 billion of 3 billion -- nm - rollo Apr 4, 07:03

- I presume there's a heck of a lot more being said/done internally (there better be, at least) -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 06:50 2

    - Well, can't we be glad they didn't offer up an obvious patsy sacrifice? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 07:05
What has transpired over the last few years to make Flacco think he's the best QB and did it take place in a mysterious alternate universe? - Diva Apr 4, 06:39 14
- I wonder how he will feel when Ray Rice holds out like it appears he may... -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 06:56 1
  - like he's the best QB, obvs. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 07:03
- [deleted] 3
  - this is my point. of course he needs to be confident in himself. but actual facts and past performance speak for themselves. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 06:58
  - He does kind of sound like a B-tier rapper in the Young Money clique with bravado like that. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 06:58 1

- *tries to forget how Eli Manning said that and then beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl again* -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 06:48 3
  - Eli didn't say he was the best, but said he was an elite. Still funny -- nm - CQ: Middle Reliever Apr 4, 06:56 1
    - I can't hear you laughing as I have my two Super Bowl rings plugging my ears - Eli Apr 4, 06:57
  - heh. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 06:49
- He's saying he's the best becuase he has to think that as a professional. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:44 3
  - I think the whole paragraph matters since that's what he said. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 06:46 2
    - And clearly based on reading the entire paragraph, it's clear what he means. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:49 1
      - Clearly. I get what he means. It just amuses me when people say things that are patently untrue and then 'justify' their wrongness. -- nm - Diva Apr 4, 06:51

Grade this trade from last night: Felix Hernandez for Billy Butler and Brandon Morrow. - TFox Apr 4, 06:01 9
- Whoever got Felix imo is the winner. Morrow is a league-average pitcher results-wise....and Butler is a modern John Olerud. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:03 5
  - It's al only, so not quite replacement level, but I still agree. - TFox Apr 4, 06:07 4
    - Yeah, AL, he turns into the middle of the viable starter pool but still.... - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:18 3

FANNNNNNTASTIC. My congressional district gave Annapolis and O'Malley a big middle finger with their primary vote. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:00 6
- I got gerrymandered into your district. But Delaney won because he spent money, Garagiola diudn't spend a dime so no one knewwho he was. -- nm - MDH Apr 4, 06:27 2
  - He didn't spend becuase he was gifted the seat by the party in Annapolis. He didn't realize that others might not clear the way for him. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:29 1
    - Yup. -- nm - MDH Apr 4, 06:33
- buh bye Roscoe! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 4, 06:04 2
  - Most likely; and it's time for him to go. 20 years there and he hasn't done a single noteworthy thing; even when he isn't playing company line. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 06:13 1

- I don't get this. How freaking hard is it for an online company to track the tax on sales in a State and then remit it? - Beaker Apr 4, 04:59 9

        oh, i'm sure people lie here too. -- nm - Andie Apr 4, 07:00 1
