season 2 of Suits has been great this year. -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 18:12
[deleted] 11
- I want to like this, but I don't at all. Just feels like a lot of Sandra Bullock scream/breathing heavy, and bumping into space things. - Inigo Sep 4, 19:16
- Jeebus, I had to hold my breath during most of that. Holy shit. - Tim Sep 4, 18:50
- Eh, didn't work for me. Movie might be better with some plot and less mindless action -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 18:25 5
  - The plot is YOU'RE SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY LOST IN SPACE - JaxSean Sep 4, 18:40 3
    - It's not like I am going to see her boobies with that big fucking space suit on her -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 18:41 2

  - When you're desperate, everything is a story. - spamlet Sep 4, 18:51
  - But she is SO STUPID -- nm - David Sep 4, 18:31 2
    - Yeah, she is...but in this case, she's oddly human and non-political - Will Hunting Sep 4, 18:34 1
      - Oh, I agree about this. I'm just saying I understand why people cannot lay off her. - David Sep 4, 18:38
THE JOKE IS THAT JOE FLACCO IS UGLY. -- nm - Tim Sep 4, 17:42

- [deleted] 12
  - Museum of Contemporary Art? -- nm - the liioulu with cake and cookies Sep 4, 17:37 3
    - Naw, it's a dude from a touring group called Three MCs and One DJ - he was the DJ, I think -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 17:38 2
      - I have serious doubts about your dedeuctive reasoning skills. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 4, 18:01 1
        
        Clearly he was actually called DJ MCA, the MC part was just a coincidence -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 18:05
  - Agreed -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 17:32
  - MPAA -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 17:28 2
    - stop lying. You're HITLER bacon. -- nm - loosi at home Sep 4, 17:29 1
      - Hail Bacon -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 17:31
  - nor MMA. -- nm - loosi at home Sep 4, 17:26
  - You know who sucks balls? the NCAA. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 17:23

  - The jury is still out on MDH -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 17:19
[deleted] 4
- I don't even know what to think -- nm - loosi at home Sep 4, 17:27 1
  - [deleted]

  - do you think they would care more if they were white babies? - zeitgeist Sep 4, 19:08
With 6 pts per TD pass (compared to 4 as yahoo default), you take a QB in round 1, right? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 17:09 16
- That's what I thought. And that's how my autodraft ended up giving me Peyton and Brees! -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 18:51 1
  - What are your 2 best runningbacks? -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 18:52
- Taking one, hurts your premium RBs, but yep, you take Brees or rodgers, if you're in the bottom of the first round -- nm - Flavorize Sep 4, 18:12
- 14 team and you are on the turn, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 17:45
- I stil take runningback that doesn't share with another runningback. QB comes before WR where I would normally take WR next -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 17:22
- In a 10-12 team league, no. In a 14 if I'm at the back end of Rd 1 I consider it. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 17:13 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Indeed. I've been playing in a 10 team league using this type of scoring and that yielded QB being 8 out of the 10 top season scorers - JD Sep 4, 17:26
    - It depends which RB's are still on the board. - Strongbad Sep 4, 17:22 1
      - I would say if you are drafting 9th or worse consider QB -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 17:23
- [deleted] 3
  - I have pick 8 fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 17:12 2
    - (I got Arian Foster.) -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 17:37 1
      - See, I would not be taking a QB over Arian Foster even in that league. -- nm - Old Fat Santa Bacon with Twinkle Eyes Sep 4, 17:40
- Interceptions thrown are -2 (compared to -1), all else is default. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 17:11 1
  - same as my money league. 12 person draft, 3QBs went in first round. I got Ray Rice with 12th(I had 12th pick ugh) and picked Peyton 13th -- nm - CQ Sep 4, 17:24
STTVPSA: Always Sunny, League, and Totally Biased return tonight on FXX. Ultimate Fighter:Rousey/Tate premieres on FS1. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 4, 17:02 1
- We just watched the Adrian Peterson episode yesterday. I wish that show were funnier. -- nm - David Sep 4, 17:04

Spawn if no takers come up in the next 2 hours I'll just do Autodraft so you guys aren't in the lurch - Beaker Sep 4, 16:49 10
- I'm around...Spawn emailed me a bit ago...I'm not too late to help out, am I? -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 18:19 2
  - Thanks, but I think DT found someone -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 18:20 1
    - Oh, sweet. I'll be around, if you need me. Just hit me in email. - Jim Sep 4, 18:22
- Deal. Thought we were on the same time, so sorry about that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 16:56 6
  - no worries. -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 16:57 5
    - In your favor is that it is only 10 team. Tried to get him to 2 QB it, but he had already chosen. - Spawn Sep 4, 17:02
    - do I set it to autodraft? or does it just do it automatically when I don't pick? -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 16:58 3
      - If it's at Yahoo, it should do it automatically. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 4, 16:59 2
        
        cool, thanks -- nm - Beaker Sep 4, 17:05
        
        Yup. In fact, if you are logged on but do not click for a bit it will kick in, as well. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 17:00
I was under the impression the MDB was generally disliked by STers - prayformojo Sep 4, 16:49 22
- I absolutely love it. - kelly Sep 4, 17:45
- Skewed sample. It seemed to me people were more eager to complain about this particular movie because it was generally well received - con_carne Sep 4, 17:33
- I like it but find it deeply flawed. -- nm - loosi at home Sep 4, 17:24
- (also, you mean DMB) -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 17:17
- I left the theater angry at that movie. -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 16:59
- Had some great performances but (spoilers) - amoxy Sep 4, 16:57 7
  - that wasn't even my main issue. it was about (spoil) - loosi at home Sep 4, 17:26 2
    - I disagree. (Spoilers) - kelly Sep 4, 17:44
    - I agree. -- nm - the liioulu with cake and cookies Sep 4, 17:38
  - spoiler questions - diva Sep 4, 17:01 3
    - The middle one -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 17:15
    - Don't forget... *spoils* - Ender Sep 4, 17:03 1
      - I thought you were going to say (spoiler) - diva Sep 4, 17:05
- It beats the hell out of Gran Torino, that's for sure. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 16:55 4
  - speaking of 'getting on my lawn' Clint is currently wife-swapping with his wife's "friend". - diva Sep 4, 16:59 3

- I liked it even though it made me sad -- nm - Pippy Sep 4, 16:50
It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock n roll. -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 4, 16:43 1
