Robinson Cano wants a 10 year $305 Million deal... -- (link) - Beaker Sep 26, 08:44 7
- He won't get that from the Yankees. No one should give that to a guy turning 31 before the season starts. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 08:47 1
  - [deleted]
- Done!!! -- nm - Arte Moreno Sep 26, 08:45 2
  - yeah, I was gonna say some jackhole is gonna give it to him, and it is gonna fuck up - groiny Sep 26, 08:46 1
    - I doubt anyone gives him that much. Too many monster deals have come back to really cripple teams. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 08:52
- Sounds reasonable. -- nm - House of Reps Sep 26, 08:45

John Boehner: the House is "unlikely" to accept a clean funding bill from the Senate (nmbl) - Brian Sep 26, 08:30 2
- He has to say that until the Senate passes something. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 08:34
- re B2 - I don't think you'd put your whole platform as your demands if you are going to agree to raise the debt ceiling. - Roger More Sep 26, 08:33
(jesse plemons is only 25. wow.) -- nm - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:28 2
- ah, good ol' Meth Damon -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:31
- yeah, he was one of the few age appropriate guys on FNL - Reagen Sep 26, 08:30

... and a pony. -- nm - John Boehner Sep 26, 08:23 1
- ...but don't spend any money to buy it! -- nm - Inigo Sep 26, 08:29
So ... while paralyzed by database interaction choices last night, I definitely learned one thing. - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:22 19
- For comparison, this is how DB2 has always worked. If I had been anywhere they used anything except PDO, I would have had to choke a bitch. -- nm - GregW Sep 26, 09:30
- This post looks better when viewed on the beta site, FWIW -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:24 [Backboard] 17
  - I'm not crazy about the general look of the beta site fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 26, 08:29 15
    - word -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:29
    - Neither am I. I like the responsive behaviour on mobile, but overall it's ... blah -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:29 13
      - It needs even more orange. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:30 12
        
        and bats!....nm - x Sep 26, 08:31 10
        
        I want bats that follow the cursor. But if you click on them, something bd happens. So you have to shake them before clicking on a post. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:34
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        *that* may be the one thing everyone agrees on. bats. -- nm - Andie Sep 26, 08:37 7
        
        And I want one for my avatar, too. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:39
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I promise nothing. But I am curious. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:41 4
        
        Bat-curious? -- nm - mara Sep 26, 08:44 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        Golly Gee, Batman ... I don't know about this .. -- nm - Dick Grayson si Sep 26, 08:45 1
        
        Heh -- nm - mara Sep 26, 08:47
        
        heheh. Well, the way threading is displayed and the way posts are displayed ... both need *serious* help. - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:31
  - ack! it's....weird! -- nm - oblique Sep 26, 08:28
What I take from this week's NFL maps is that CBS hates America. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 26, 08:11 10
- but, London! -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 08:31
- It's one of those things. At the beginning of the year, it looked like a decent matchup -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 08:16 1
  - Really, there aren't (m)any good matchups for CBS this week. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 26, 08:29
- I just checked the map and it looks good here. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:14 2
  - Well, it's half good for you. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 26, 08:17 1
    - I was thinking Blackmon was back, so was looking forward to watching him. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:21
- My guess is that the London game is probably contractually obligated to be the national game. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 08:12 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - The networks really needed an opt-out clause. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 26, 08:20 1
      - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! -- nm - Goodell the Merciless Sep 26, 08:22
So in FJS I have NE and Atl DEF. Which one starts? - oblique Sep 26, 08:07 2
- Never Matt Flynn. -- nm - Jim Sep 26, 08:09
- punt -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 08:08
So, after 3 episodes of BB, I have already had it influence a dream. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:05 41
- I thought this was about Big Brother, and was so confused. -- nm - loosilu Sep 26, 08:22
- I'm listening to a podcast right now in which we're talking about binge watching BB. I did this, 5.5 seasons in three weeks - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:17 15
  - This will be an interesting experiment. Yeah, three weeks is about what I am expecting it to take. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:20 14
    - I think you and I are very similar in that regard. I was very surprised when I realized I'd been affected (effected? whatever) by the show. - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:24 10
      - See, it's stuff like this that makes me not want to watch the show even though I hear all these good things. - spamlet Sep 26, 08:41 5
        
        it is a fantastic show that does not leave you warm and fuzzy at any point . - groiny Sep 26, 08:43 4
        
        Well put. Even The Walking Dead is not so stark and barren as that description. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:44 3
        
        see, that is one huge difference between those 2 shows..... - groiny Sep 26, 08:45 2
        
        And on breaking bad (spoils ... season 2? season 3? I forget) - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:46 1
        
        that particular episode damn near made me cry. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 08:47
      - The more times I read your post (yes, I sometimes do that, sue me) the more I think it might be a bad idea for me to watch. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:36 2
        
        I wouldn't worry about it too much. You hang out with Remlik, and comic books aren't nearly as dangerous as meth. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:40 1
        
        It is fortunate for me that this series did not come out 20 years ago. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:43
      - Hell. I listened to music in the car this morning. Zero sports radoio. That has not happened in months. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:26
    - are you unspoiled for Breaking Bad? - Jovian Sep 26, 08:21 2
      - I was shocked to see Big Jim in the pilot! All I know is (spoil) - Spawn Sep 26, 08:25
      - yeah, I am half way through the 3rd season, and have managed to avoid spoils. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 08:23
- heh. I re-watched several episodes myself last night and BB was all I dreamt of all night. -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 08:15
- Big Brother? :) -- nm - oblique Sep 26, 08:12
- by the end of 64 eps, the show will have found its tone....nm - x Sep 26, 08:08 16
  - Heh (spoils) - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:12 15
    - yeah, but i think season one especially...(spoils) - x Sep 26, 08:15 14
      - I don't agree that it's floundering so much as it's what the series arc needed to be. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 08:36
      - this must be why I couldn't get past two episodes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 26, 08:23 10
        
        you really have to get to know the characters, in the beginning, it is messy. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 08:24 9
        
        I think that you need to really invest in the characters early on so that you start to *root for them,* kind of early in the series - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:26 8
        
        spoils - Beryllium Sep 26, 08:29 6
        
        and to the point that spawn and I are making, your point makes me feel betrayed. a TV show should be able to hurt me like this. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:31 5
        
        should be or shouldn't be? -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 08:39
        
        I really need to catch up to current, so I can actively discuss this show. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 08:35 3
        
        Yeah, I am not clicking this thread. Damn it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:40
        
        Are you going to be caught up by Sunday? -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 08:39 1
        
        1 1/2 season by Sunday? - groiny Sep 26, 08:40
        
        I almost always invest 3 episodes in any show..... - groiny Sep 26, 08:28
      - I agree with this completely, which I think is why I had so much trouble with later seasons (sp) - amanda hk Sep 26, 08:19
      - I do like (spoilerS) - amoxy Sep 26, 08:18
- just wait -- nm - Remlik Sep 26, 08:07
- dude, it seriously impairs my dreams as well, I cannot watch it before bed. - groiny Sep 26, 08:06 3
  - Yeah, only three was... surprising. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:07 2
    - So you saw (spoilers) - amoxy Sep 26, 08:10 1
      - Yes. Good to know. And the next episode (spoil) - Spawn Sep 26, 08:12

      - Geno Smith is about the only other starter available. - spamlet Sep 26, 08:11 1
        
        Grab him. Matt Flynn should not be on any fantasy roster. - Spawn Sep 26, 08:13
  - *looks down* -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 08:03
