  - What's hysterical about that is he had 1 catch for 13 yards at halftime. -- nm - David Sep 6, 10:51
  - I think Eric Decker becomes the forgotten man. Manning and Welker are in a zone -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 10:49

Are you getting gmails asking you to assign contact organizations to the 'primary' rather than 'promotional' tab? - Meg Sep 6, 10:38 3

  - For all his issues, McCarver is baseball smart. Collinsworth is not even a little bit football smart. -- nm - David Sep 6, 10:56 1
    - yeah, i think this is accurate....nm - x Sep 6, 10:59

  - As TK notes, people in the business seem to love him. I'm sure he's a great guy, but I wonder who took his SAT. -- nm - David Sep 6, 10:57
  - I don`t dislike him. He`s goofy without being too annoying, to me. Dan Dierdorf or Rod Black bug me much more -- nm - mud Sep 6, 10:46 5
    - when do you see Rod Black do anything? -- nm - zork Sep 6, 10:49 4
      - Seriously? He's the main guy for CFL. - Reagen Sep 6, 10:50 3

- Just like that, huh? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 10:26 1
  - Well I responded to their replacement offer, noting that $12.99 was close to what I paid for it in the first place. -- nm - Meg Sep 6, 10:31

- "lives in a faraway state"..it's genuine "wow, you really exist" type of excitement...."don't get lost in the physical side of things" - dogbert Sep 6, 09:51
- This is confusing. They both live in different states, but go to Boston to propose? -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 09:46 7
  - I thought he lives there. Sounds like when she saw where she was to move to, maybe the reality was not quite the fantasy they had shared? -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:53
  - he's not that far away from Boston in Grafton. I think the plan was to do a romantic getaway thing and propose there. - Diva Sep 6, 09:52 5
    - Ah OK. But why did he travel back to her state with her after she blocked him? - amoxy Sep 6, 09:57 4
      - Because of what she said. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:58
      - I don't know. perhaps that was the plan all along and he didn't want to send her home alone even though he'd been gut-punched. -- nm - Diva Sep 6, 09:58
      - because he already had his plane ticket booked, duh. - znufrii Sep 6, 09:58 1
        
        sunk costs fallacy ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 10:24
- wtf? how hard can it be? - znufrii Sep 6, 09:44 15
  - So sad. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:54 12
    - I mean, there's nothing wrong with building it into a big to-do, if that's your bag... - znufrii Sep 6, 09:57 11
      - She is a lost cause. She clearly does not want to. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:58 10
        
        she doesn't want to be married but engaged with all the presents and attention -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 10:10 2
        
        Not is she is refusing the ring. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 10:12 1
        
        ah...I missed that part. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 10:14
        
        I don't know, this may be true but he sounds like a big puss. "how will I ever trust again?" nut up jackhole -- nm - dogbert Sep 6, 10:02 4
        
        In all honesty, I don't believe they really had met before the Boston trip. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 10:04 3
        
        oh I agree completely, that's why I made the te'o reference -- nm - dogbert Sep 6, 10:06 2
        
        Yep. I wonder how *she* feels about that weird stuff he said? -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 10:08 1
        
        that's a good point - znufrii Sep 6, 10:34
        
        that's a possibility as well, but I read it differently. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 09:59 1
        
        If she was not she would simply say, "Okay, lets get married." and take the ring. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 10:00
  - *staples your mouth shut* -- nm - dogbert Sep 6, 09:52 1
    - ha! -- nm - Diva Sep 6, 09:53
