- Mop? -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 17:23
- The hugger is a registered Republican. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 17:15
- 1) Yelp ratings are user submitted, points have nothing to do with the owners. - ty97 Sep 10, 17:13 1

- *SPOILER* - Cuzzin Todd Sep 10, 17:25
That AJ Green play wasn't a catch in the same way that blue isn't a color. -- nm - David Sep 10, 16:46 14
- So far from what I've seen this crew is the worst so far. It's only a matter of time before they blow a huge call. -- nm - Shaun Sep 10, 16:49 3
  - So they are almost like real refs? -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 16:53
  - The niners game were awful. Missed false starts that were visible from space - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:52 1
    - The block in the back that was missed was also atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Sep 10, 16:53
- It's not a completed catch until you're done your shower after the game. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 16:47 7
  - Whoever mentioned earlier that these refs can be bullied into bad calls just got his blueprint example. -- nm - David Sep 10, 16:49 6
    - Well, Peter King mentioned it. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 10, 17:21
    - If that's a TD for Boldin but not a catch for Green, Marvin Lewis should cap somebody. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 16:55 4
      - And that was confirmed ? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:58 1
        
        not confirmed... "stands" -- nm - dogbert Sep 10, 17:00
      - Brutal. -- nm - Shaun Sep 10, 16:57 1
        
        I love that the 27-year NFL ref basically said, "They can whatever they want but in our REALITY..." -- nm - David Sep 10, 17:00
- Yep, bad call. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:47 1
  - The worst part is that they didn't challenge for fear that there may be two even worse calls later in the game. -- nm - David Sep 10, 16:48
Refs have already missed 2 false starts. -- nm - Shaun Sep 10, 16:41 2

  - It was a prepaid deal, so either i blow the cost, or i deal. Trust me if they dont show up, i will get a refund or more - Truman Sep 10, 16:50 2
    - Tell them that you are a CPA who regularly bills XXX$$$ per hour, since they blown it several times they have cost you several hours which you can not - zeitgeist Sep 10, 17:08
    - Gotcha. -- nm - David Sep 10, 16:54
It's Daily Kos so.....but nonetheless here's Paul Ryan continuing to be less than honest -- (link) - ty97 Sep 10, 16:33 17
- I sort of see his point. I mean, the whole point was to threaten cuts so big that only a group of complete idiot cravens could fail to come to a deal - Roger More Sep 10, 17:34 9
  - The way I read it, there were defense cuts in the bill that had nothing to do with the committee/triggers. - ty97 Sep 10, 17:43 2
    - Looking it up, the act makes $917B in spending cuts over the next 10 years, but I haven't found anything that says they touch defence. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 17:50 1
      - see below -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 17:50
  - Which makes him Tom Cruise in Collateral. "I didn't kill him - the bullets and the fall killed him." -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 17:35 5
    - He's left with no option but to say "When we voted for that trigger, we underestimated how dumb we were" - Roger More Sep 10, 17:43 4
      - "The bill directly specified $917 billion of cuts over 10 years" - ty97 Sep 10, 17:47 3
        
        source link -- (link) - ty97 Sep 10, 17:48 2
        
        Here: "The Budget Control Act mandated $917 billion in federal spending cuts over a 10-year period, including some $487 billion in defense cuts." - ty97 Sep 10, 17:50 1
        
        Ah, thanks. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 17:53
- It's hard to imagine a sleazier and scummier Pres/VP ticket than Romney and Ryan. They'll say anything. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 16:59 2
  - Kerry/Edwards. I win. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 17:00 1
    - Edwards, yes. I didn't really find Kerry scummy, just pointless. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 17:43
- "nomenclature". I like that. Heh heh heh heh. -- nm - Dubya Sep 10, 16:55
- They're really just quoting him. Honestly there are times when it reminds me of a scene from a movie where a woman catches her husband in bed with - pmb Sep 10, 16:54 1
  - /nods/ I think I could pull that off. -- nm - Don Draper Sep 10, 17:01
- He's learning from Romney. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 16:42
H cnow you -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:31 3
- How can you have that bad a spot on a guy that fell right in front of you? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:32 2
  - My guess is he is used to rules like college and mistakenly applied them. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 10, 16:34 1
    - Seriously. Right in front of him. No one nearby. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:36
Cam Cameron is in danger of over using the reverse as much as he overused the - Will Hunting Sep 10, 16:27 1

Listen to Carly Rae Jepsen's new single "This Kiss" -- (link) - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 16:17 3

- She's got a duet with the Beebs, too. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Sep 10, 16:30

Football! -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 16:05

- *crushs cigeratte on Knicks logo and walks out* - Remlik Sep 10, 15:57 1
  - Isiah must have pics of Dolan killing a couple hookers -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 16:17
so the small business owner that hugged the President? Well Republicans are driving down his yelp score... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 10, 15:46 3
- Buy, I wonder when the last time was that anyone picked Obama up. The Secret Service must have had a cow. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Sep 10, 16:46 1
  - Yes, that's right, they didn't pay enough for hookers this time. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 16:47
- Classy. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 15:48
JCVD is pretty good in JCVD. - Reagen Sep 10, 15:45 1

15% of Ohio Republicans say Romney deserves more credit than Obama for killing Bin Laden, 47% unsure -- (link) - Reagen Sep 10, 15:44 10

- I wish I could say that was hard to believe. But I live where I live and I'm sure I know some of those people. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 15:52
- That's ... something. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 15:49 6
  - I agree with the notion that some of that is "fucking with the pollster", but it's probably not all of it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 15:51 5
    - There might be some messing with the pollster. I have a co-worker who was *very* offended and upset that Obama dared to say anything about the Denver - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 15:56 4
      - because...huh? -- nm - Reagen Sep 10, 15:57 2
        
        Because the mere mention of Obama sets off a Pavlovian reaction. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 10, 16:02
        
        And you know if he *hadn't* said anything about it he would have also been history's greatest monster. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 10, 15:58
      - There has to be an element of "oh, Romney? I thought you said Bush." - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 15:57
- The link is wrong...Why is it not going to TheOnion? -- nm - amoxy Sep 10, 15:48
David Simon's take on Chris Kluwe's response to Maryland Delegate Emmett Burns... -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 10, 15:42 2
- Even better than the article, I suggest reading the comments. Simon gives a class in how to debate -- and how not to. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 16:42 1
  - yes. There can obviously be only one, but I wish the world had more David Simons. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 17:01
I mean, don't you want to know what makes a good man? - Reagen Sep 10, 15:39 2

  - He looks like a man with a mission :) -- nm - Meg Sep 10, 15:48 4
    - I was told to look serious. The baby was told to look cute. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 15:49 3
      - And Kelly needed no direction at all ;) -- nm - Meg Sep 10, 15:50 2
