  - Yeah, but that was just people wanting to see Charlie Sheen lose his bacon. -- nm - miffed67 Jul 5, 12:35
  - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 12:33

FF: I'm currently trying to lobby my Keeper League to drop the Kicker position altogether - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:22 20
- You could just include them in DEF. All of the other special teams are already included, aren't they? -- nm - GregW Jul 5, 12:49
- Why? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:30 17
  - Because it's much more fun to root for QB/RB/WR/TE/DEF - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:33 15
    - If you are throwing out K, might as well throw out D, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 12:35 14
      - Defenses are fun, especially with Blood Feud scoring. - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:36
      - That, or switch to IDP. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:36 4
        
        IDP would be my nightmare given I watch 20 minutes of football annually. - spamlet Jul 5, 12:40 1
        
        Even worse for you when it's IDP with return yardage. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:44
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'd love to play IDP if there were a way to normalize linemen, linebackers and secondary - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:38
      - D is a lot less random than K. You can somewhat predict D. -- nm - spamlet Jul 5, 12:36 7
        
        There are maybe 3-4 defenses that you an rely on every year. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:38
        
        True, but I dislike the whole, "I am rooting for team X to hold team Y down, except for one of team Y's WRs and their K who I also am using." thing. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 12:38 4

  - Sonnen just had the best Sports Center live interview I've ever seen. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:11 4
    - That seems strange, as I've found him very unlikable every time I've heard him talk. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:34
    - How so? - Will Hunting Jul 5, 12:12 1
      - I'm sure it will get posted online soon. He's got confidence, charisma and comedy. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:18
    - Guy's got great mic skills. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:12
  - Sonnen wouldn't do it I would suspect as he would be murdered -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 12:10 1

Hmm. "The origin of the term �Cray� from �Niggas In Paris� is actually not a shortened form of �crazy�, nor is it �cray�, it�s actually �Kray�...." - Spawn Jul 5, 12:04 8
- The origin of the term David hates (I am also not a fan) is likely Penny from Happy Endings. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:41 7
  - She's so vile. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:42 6
    - The intent of her character is to annoy, though -- nm - con_carne Jul 5, 12:48 3
      - I don't know how true that is. But if youre correct, that's a major flaw in the creation of the show. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 12:55 1
        
        But you also have the choice to laugh at the character's foibles. That's what foibles in sitcoms are for. - con_carne Jul 5, 13:04
      - And I consistently despise character that lazy in concept. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:50
    - "hysterecto" nm -- nm - penny Jul 5, 12:47

In 1989, Freeman starred in Lean on Me, Driving Miss Daisy and Glory. - Inigo Jul 5, 11:50 15
