~and I can hear them say...*massive air-drum arm flapping* Bad Company...I can't deny!~ -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:44 1
- I have this on my phone. It's good stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:57
Sorry, slipped my mind that I wouldn't be getting a text when it was my time to pick. - Todd Manning Aug 23, 12:40 5
- Get in the Box of Pain. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:45 4
  - Didn't expect to get rewarded. -- nm - Todd Manning Aug 23, 12:50 3
    - I'm just picking on you as an outsider. by the sounds of it these drafts have gone smoothly. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:51 2
      - No, no... - Todd Manning Aug 23, 13:05
      - Why aren't you in Blood Feud? -- nm - amoxy Aug 23, 12:53

        are they general Yahoo projections or league specific for our unique scoring? -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 12:57 1

        Except Spawn -- that sounds about right. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:56
        
        They're good for smack talk - Strongbad Aug 23, 12:55
      - Just for giggles, could you create a league and assign each of us the same drafted players - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:52 2
        
        I'm tempted but the problem would be that in-week roster moves would not be accounted for. - David Aug 23, 12:55 1
        
        Let's assume they're using optimal scoring so you would always play the highest projected scores. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:57
    - Yahoo? thanks -- nm - crash davis Aug 23, 12:50
  - The vault of great draft preparation room..... - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:44 1
    - I don't really want to be invited to your a$$... - crash davis Aug 23, 12:46
Screw you, Blues. They're making people buy multiple games if they want tickets to the only Wings game next season or any Blackhawks game. -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 12:32 11
- They said they didn't want Chicagoans buying up the tickets. It's really stupid. -- nm - pmb Aug 23, 12:48
- the Leafs might be bringing in tiered pricing to squeeze extra out of games with montreal, etc. - zork Aug 23, 12:42 2
  - They've done tiered pricing the last couple of years. The Wings and Hawks games were $60 for upper bowl tickets. - spamlet Aug 23, 12:43 1
    - but without adding the premium prices, the Leafs already have the top prices in the league - zork Aug 23, 12:48
- Nashville is the one who started this to prevent Blackhawks fans from traveling in bulk. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:42
- Not much of a surprise there. -- nm - Jim Aug 23, 12:33 5
  - FYI: So Alexandre Steen's dad Thomas Steen is a city councillor up here. His office is just around the corner from mine. Many Jets fans will.... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 12:40
  - My patience with the Blues has run like REALLY thin. Fucking win something, for Christ's sake. -- nm - Jim Aug 23, 12:34 3
    - It was already going to be tough because the NHL scheduled it for the last game. But any hope I have is gone unless the Blues just suck. - spamlet Aug 23, 12:37 1
      - We went through decades of this with Wirtz before he died. It's remarkable what his sons did in such a short period of time after he died. -- nm - pmb Aug 23, 12:54
    - Oh look we're a 2 seed! *flames out in the playoffs* -- nm - Blues si Aug 23, 12:37
Aaron Hernandez' cousin Tanya (who is currently jailed for Contempt) has the same build as Aaron and a lawyer named Peter Parker. -- (link) - Diva Aug 23, 12:29 13
- She would be great casting for Orange Is the New Black. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:43 1
  - or 'Friggin Huge Is the New Chunky'. -- nm - Diva Aug 23, 12:49
- hand to spaghetti monster I think she's wider than he is. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:43 2
  - she sorta reminds me of The Transgender Upstairs. -- nm - Diva Aug 23, 12:48 1
    - Wilfork is afraid for his job... -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 12:50

  - [deleted]
- Same hair stylist, as well. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 12:36
- Patriots should have drafted her instead -- nm - decline Aug 23, 12:35 1
  - They grows em big in Bristol County. -- nm - Diva Aug 23, 12:47

  - [deleted] 21
    - lol. Have never finished anywhere near that bad. One 5 win season was the only one below .500. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 12:31
    - Who in the 'ell is who? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:26 2

      - Need to pick again...Sanders was already taken. -- nm - Jim Aug 23, 12:22 4

        Sweet...now we're cooking -- nm - Jim Aug 23, 12:37
        
        Like 50 picks ago. Dude. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:31
      - The only thing I believe it reinforces is that Spawn had a terrible draft. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:21 8
        
        When I ran the draft through the site last night and came in 4th? You were in 8th. Congrats. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 12:33 4
        
        I fear what it will tell me when we're done. I rather like my team, but it's going to take me to task for my RB crew. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 23, 12:41 2
        
        It may not. Most RB projections this year are comical in my estimation. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:43 1
        
        Mine might be weak, but I did get 4 nominal #1's. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:44
        
        Thanks! It will be a Lafarrow-esque feat with only 1200 points for. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:35
        
        he is playing for the first overall pick next season. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 12:31 2

PNC: $7.50 to replace my check card. me: never mind then. I'll just switch banks. -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 11:45 6
- I could see if maybe it was your... fifth one in a year, but that's nutty. I'd be like hell to the no as well. -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 11:57
- For sure. That is what, $75 per year? -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 11:48 4
  - this is my first lost card with them (because I never use it). the fact that their "deposit checks by phone" thing didn't work is the only reason I - amanda Aug 23, 12:07 3
    - I've never had an issue with the phone deposit (except for business size checks sometimes). - spamlet Aug 23, 12:13 2
      - it was my postcard sodastream check. I had trouble with my bon ton checks too sometimes, but they were poorly formatted. -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 12:16 1

- I take it you like corn syrup? (I was wondering what made their sauce like that. I would have guessed glycerin.) -- nm - mara Aug 23, 11:42 10
  - Can't really argue with a barbecue sauce recipe with 3 ingredients where 2 of the ingredients are "barbecue sauce"... -- nm - Ender Aug 23, 11:52 1
    - But, I'm pretty sure the biggest ingredient in the kraft one is corn syrup too :D -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 12:17
