Hunting: At this point it's comical. UMD's starting inside LB has torn his ACL and is out for the season. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 10:16 9
- At this point, I want to see proof on the video they're doing this in games. I think they're at home in the dorms doing this stuff now. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 10:37
- Do all of these injuries buy Edsall another year? - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:30 4
  - The fact that UMD is 4-5 with 3 chokes (legit missed FGs etc) and they could be 7-2 with all of these injuries makes me worry he'll be here. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 10:32 3
    - My gut says he'll be back. Even in the crappy ACC, yall have exceeded expectations. -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:32 2
      - With a backup QB they went 4-2 (without a bunch of starters) and could have been better. Sadly I agree he will be back. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 10:37 1
        
        Meanwhile, your former HCIW James Franklin is killing it down in Vandy. -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:40
- incredible. this begins to border on performance art - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 10:16 2
  - Pre-season 23 players transfer, then 5 ACL injuries... Oh Edsall. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 10:19
  - Yup. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 10:19
Since the merger, only three running backs have produced more fantasy points in one game than Martin's 51.2-point outburst -- (link) - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:15 5
- This was the highest score I remember in my local Fantasy League -- (link) - amoxy Nov 5, 10:34
- I have him in 1 league and need 8 points from DeSean Jackson tonight for a W. - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:28 3
  - BF: I am 2.3 points down with Ingram and Jackson vs. Lance Moore -- nm - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:29 2
    - lots of Desean fans tonight! I need him and Shady to come up decent -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:30 1
      - Keeper $$ League: 20 point lead with McCoy vs. DeSean. - Quantum of Strongbad Nov 5, 10:31
Jeep Patriots are horribly underpowered, right? They must be. 4 cylinders? -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:10 14
- After my old Cherokee died I couldn't find anything in the Jeep line that worked for me. -- nm - Meg Nov 5, 10:13 5
  - they wouldn't customize it so you could crash through most security gates, eh? - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:14 4
    - Although it probably wouldn -- nm - Meg Nov 5, 10:16 3
      - Bah...wouldn't have needed a step-stool for some people to climb in :) -- nm - Meg Nov 5, 10:17 2
        
        she's a fiesty one! -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 5, 10:52
        
        Oh it's on lady! - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:22
- That's what I have. It's a 2012. You notice the power when you are blasting AC, but other than that it's fine. - volnelk Nov 5, 10:13 4
  - I have to drive up a mountain any time I want to get out of town, so ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:20 2
    - Yeah, maybe not for you then. -- nm - volnelk Nov 5, 10:20 1
      - V6 ford escape, then ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:26
  - I don't race much. -- nm - volnelk Nov 5, 10:13

nmb Dawson... - Krusty Nov 5, 10:09
LIR to LMS re: Last Resort--I love it, the acting is exceptional for TV (even Scott Speedman) and it will break my heart when the network cancels it. - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:08 35
- I hope at least it's given a chance to have a satisfying ending. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 10:32
- Yup. It's a show I won't stop watching (and will look for on DVD eventually) even if I think it's getting axed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin still misses Journeyman too. Nov 5, 10:23
- Three new shows I really like: Last Resort, Vegas and The Neighbors. And sadly it seems only The Neighbors has a chance of a renewal. - Jovian Nov 5, 10:14 21
  - Did you see the EW write up on Revolution? - Spawnfall Nov 5, 10:27 1
    - If it was positive, it doesnt surprise me in the least. I mean Wreck It Ralph is 84% fresh. - Jovian Nov 5, 10:31
  - I really like nashville. -- nm - amanda Nov 5, 10:25 4
    - I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 10:26 3
      - I thought the NYmag review was very apt. - amanda Nov 5, 10:31
      - I like it a lot, too. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 5, 10:29
      - Yup, it's got very solid storytelling. -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 5, 10:27
  - not looking good for Vegas, huh? - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:24 2
    - So they're saying...but it is CBS and their tolerance for low performing shows is much different than the rest of the networks. -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:26
    - Yeah, there's only a couple of shows that we even bother watching before it hits week 4 or 5. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 10:25
  - I have all of Vegas stacked up. What's a good comparison show for it? -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 5, 10:21 10
    - The show would be wildly popular on a more daring network. - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:33 1
      - I love the time period as criminal rights weren't invented back then and Quaid is pulling off a hardass well -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:34
    - Spencer for Hire only with more mob stuff maybe? Quaid and Chikliss are both great -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:27 2
      - yea, for me the actors are what sell this show. Even the cute blonde from SoA and Alactraz is decent - Jovian Nov 5, 10:29 1
        
        and she does indeed look hot -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:30
    - Life On Mars (american version) - Jovian Nov 5, 10:24 4
      - It has to be to the point that if actors see that dude cowboy saunter onto the set they start... - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:26 3
        
        lol yea, poor Jason O'Mara -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:28 2
        
        He's not even bad at what he does and some of the shows should have worked... -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:29 1
        
        Oh I think he is great. Just really rotten luck. -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:30
- One of the only new shows I like. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 10:11
- Also, whoever scheduled it for 7:00 pm, the *family hour*, deserves to be horsewhipped. It should be on at 9 or 10 pm. -- nm - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:10 1
  - yeah, we discussed that here, after the NCIS shows would have been a perfect place -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:11
- yeah, I like it too. For Crash: -- (link) - decline Nov 5, 10:10
- word (also, sadly looks like Vegas might be in trouble...but Arrow is rocking! so that is good) -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:09 2
  - I'm so disappointed in Arrow. Ollie Queen is nothing like the Ollie Queen I like. - Kim Pine Nov 5, 10:58 1
    - I just find it fun :) and like that he's not all goody goody like Batman - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:59
- Nielson is clueless. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:09 3
  - if they admit it though their entire reason for being would be called into question -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:10 2
    - Exactly. It's also insane to me that they don't count online viewings. Supposedly the big concern is people skipping the ads. Have they ever tried to - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:15 1
      - I've been a Nielson household and an Arbitron household and Arbitron is an order of magnitude smarter. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:21
One of the nation's top WR prospects has decommitted from USC, likely going to Notre Dame -- (link) - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:07

- I'm sure they will sue. -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 5, 10:54
- what the hell? -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:13
- I wonder if they're familiar with the Streisand Effect. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 10:05 2
  - the wild dogs? I doubt it -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:06 1
    - heh. I meant Apple. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 11:04
apple is going to get in trouble in the UK again for its required statement about Samsung not copying the ipad - tRuMaN Nov 5, 10:03 4
- What with them only paying 2% tax outside the US it hasn't been their week for good news stories. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 10:06
- their "apology" wasn't much of one either "we're sorry their product sucks next to ours" -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:04 2
  - well, yeah, thats what got them in trouble the first time, they were forced to rewrite it, and make it visible to everyone -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 5, 10:06 1
    - ahh, I missed that, thought it was just a continuation -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:08
Fancy 24 was pretty decent last night. - Jovian Nov 5, 10:01
Mel, I trust that Bigelow will handle the material well enough to allay your fears - prayformoJaws Nov 5, 10:01 1
- even it's handled tastefully it's just going to make me angry and sad. - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:03
pass -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 5, 09:59 2
- you cheap ass bastard! take a train downtown to see it dammit! nm -- nm - groiny Nov 5, 10:10
- You shall not pass! -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:01
