FF: I need Jordy Nelson and Tim Jennings to outscore Aaron Rodgers by 9.5 points tonight. - Strongbad Nov 4, 09:43 7

- *CHOMP* -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 4, 09:46
Groiny, I replied below but I will say it here to clarify. - David Nov 4, 09:41 2
- I can't really disagree with that logic. - groiny Nov 4, 09:44 1
  - A lot depends on how scared he actually was. - David Nov 4, 09:49
Hrrmm --- stock question --- if a stock I bought has split into 2 different companies, how does that work taxwise? - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:38 8
- [deleted] 3
  - I would assume it would be like Spammy said, the ratio would become my new baseline - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:46 2
    - Yeah, don't trust them. - spamlet Nov 4, 09:47 1
      - exactly -- nm - decline Nov 4, 09:48
- No, your basis would be split based on the percentage of the share price post-split for each stock. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:44 2
  - this was going to be my guess. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:45 1
    - Really, you could use any reasonable method, but this would be the easiest and most defendable. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:46

- Ravens? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:44 1
  - [deleted]
- Jaguars. -- nm - nubby Nov 4, 09:43
- [deleted]
- Giants? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 09:37 1
  - Ah. Yeah it would've taken me a while before guessing them. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 4, 09:44
- Colts -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:36
- Tennesee. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:36 1

- Justin Blackmon? -- nm - eag Nov 4, 09:36 5
  - you need to take drugs if you play on the Jags. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:36 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - Wait a minute, you can be suspended for booze in the NFL? -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 09:39 1

      - either way, same difference. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:38
- They are the foundation, there. - Spawn Nov 4, 09:35
New Sean Bean ad premiering tonight, here's a still from it. -- (link) - LMS Nov 4, 09:32 1
- "Bean.... tackles a T-Rex and even survives a pork pie explosion." - prayformojo Nov 4, 09:33
Somewhere a Kaiser call center rep is shaking her head and saying "last think I need on Monday mornings is dealing with cranky old ladies" :) - Meg Nov 4, 09:21 7
- all kidding aside, glad you got the appt. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:36 1
  - Yep, poor girl probably doesn't even know where Garden Grove is, while I can walk to the clinic in about 15 minutes :) - Meg Nov 4, 09:38
- Oh man, - prayformojo Nov 4, 09:23 4
  - Right? - ty97 Nov 4, 09:27 3
    - not for nothing but she just cleared a spot in her skull rack. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:29 2
      - I just thought that meant it was Monday. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:33 1

London at dusk -- (link) - con_carne Nov 4, 09:17 [Image] 3
- there's at least 3 or 4 specific spots in that pic that I've visited -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 4, 11:14
- Beautiful. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 4, 09:30
- I just brought this up and Abby (who is at work with me today) asked..... - prayformojo Nov 4, 09:20
Hmm, I had been thinking of upgrading my Kindle from the original...... -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 09:11 7
- I'm so torn about tablets right now. I'm on the fence on the new iPad Air. Maybe an iPad Mini. Maybe a Nexus. - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 4, 09:14 2
  - I would just get the e-reader. I don't have a tablet and don't really see a need for one -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 09:19 1
    - FWIW, I got the Nook HD when it was really cheap for long flights. - spamlet Nov 4, 09:21
- [deleted] 3
  - You think they'll drop more than the 15% today? -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 09:13 2
    - I really doubt it. I'd jump today. If they do a better deal on BF, you can complain and they will probably match. -- nm - David Nov 4, 09:35

1500 pieces of art seized by the Nazis, including pieces by Chagall, Klee, Matisse and Picasso, found in some dude's attic -- (link) - ty97 Nov 4, 09:04 2
- was he a nazi dude? -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:16 1
  - He's not quite old enough. The stuff came from his father, who was actually assessed as a victim of Nazi persecution after sort of cooperating with - mara Nov 4, 09:29

- A) LaCanfora looks like he just got done with a Mexican dinner. B) Sites should detect if I'm NOT on a mobile device. - nubby Nov 4, 09:08
- At some point, after getting that many texts and stuff...wouldn't you just kick the living shit out of the guy? - Jim Nov 4, 09:06 36
  - with someone that unhinged and threatening your family - I'd have the cops involved. - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:08 1
    - Indeed. The guy's pretty much on the lam. He's scared. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 4, 09:11
  - I find the story fascinating, in that this big tough football player basically went home crying. - groiny Nov 4, 09:08 33
    - Given the stories coming out, it's entirely plausible. There's more than 1 veteran 300lb guy on the team; - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:19
    - when this first all started coming out someone in the Miami organizarion said that Incognito was a 'model citizen'. - Diva Nov 4, 09:18 22
      - Right? Makes you question that story that was posted on NFL.com (that GregW posted here) about his "reformation." -- (link) - Stephen Nov 4, 09:49
      - agreed. if someone in the organization is saying that they're not helping Martin. - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:21
      - [deleted] 19
        
        I think this nails it right here. Rookies carrying pads, doing laundry, getting stuck with checks and all that stuff... - Jim Nov 4, 09:39
        
        Or they realized they weren't going to be able to bury it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:22 14
        
        and also, how fucking stupid is Incognito for putting this shit down in a text? - groiny Nov 4, 09:25 12
        
        Brains has never been listed as one of his strong suits. Plus, I doubt this is the first instance of this. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:26 11
        
        well, I would think someone with a high school level education could see that. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:27 10
        
        It's about arrogance, not stupidity. -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:34 9
        
        I'm not sure it's an either/or proposition -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 09:37 2
        
        Perhaps not in this case. But I'm thinking of the current crop of financial scandals like LIBOR - traders documenting their own fraud in emails, etc -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:42 1
        
        yeah, that's pure arrogance. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:43
        
        maybe, but still, I would think you would not want anything to tie back to you. - groiny Nov 4, 09:35 5
        
        eh, seems like he's wrong-o in the head. he's not going to make these rationalizations like other people would. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:39
        
        I'd think so too - but plenty of smart people get burned by paper trails they control. - Roger More Nov 4, 09:39

        don't commit murder and you can have all this money. - Diva Nov 4, 09:43 1
        
        this will always be a mystery to me... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:45
        
        yonh. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:23
        
        that I can see. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:22
        
        agreed and I think it changed as part of getting ready to deal with a hailstorm of crap that's about to come down. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:22 1
        
        it is CYA at it's finest. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:22
    - Anyone can be bullied, not just 57lb weaklings. And maybe he doesn't trust the Dolphins organization to take his side over Incognito's -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:18 6
      - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 09:20
      - I would think the Dolphins have to provide a safe work enviroment for employees.... - groiny Nov 4, 09:20 4
        
        The last line in your IM is pretty much what I am saying. -- nm - Roger More Nov 4, 09:23
        
        With the contract terms in the NFL....that's a potential monster lawsuit. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:20 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - pmb Nov 4, 09:21
        
        re the last line in your im: yup. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 09:20
    - No shit...a 6'3" 300 pound offensive lineman is getting bullied. Really? - Jim Nov 4, 09:12 1
      - It's not like Incognito's a little guy. And if he's as unhinged as he seems and others seem to follow him (which is part of the impression I got), I - pmb Nov 4, 09:20
- [deleted] 13
  - Ive never really heard of this guy till now - eag Nov 4, 09:10 7
    - Oh my, he's been a puke for years now. He used to play here and was not right in the head. -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 09:13
    - voted the #2 dirtiest player in football, IIRC. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:10 5
      - But is he good? -- nm - eag Nov 4, 09:12 4
        
        he must be decent enough to get people's attention to get voted that high. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:14 3
        
        Either that, or he's just that blatantly dirty. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 09:16 2
        
        right, be he keeps getting handed starting time. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:17 1
        
        He actually has skill and could be a better than average O-lineman. But all of this shit comes with him. -- nm - Jim Nov 4, 09:18
  - This may exist beyond football. I wouldn't be surprised if he runs drugs/weapons. -- nm - David Nov 4, 09:04 1
    - [deleted]
  - Do we think Martin can ever come back from this incident? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:04 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I think he is mentally broken. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 09:10
Thought I posted this today (but it did not take), the new Batman game is *stunning*. The cut sequence I talked about last night seeped into a dream. - ♠hellSpawn♠ Nov 4, 08:56 5
- *thumbs up* (spoils) - Shaun Nov 4, 09:01 4
  - The conversation with (spoil) - Spawn Nov 4, 09:06 3
    - spoils - Shaun Nov 4, 09:17 2
      - Agreed. Did you catch spoil - Spawn Nov 4, 09:19 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 09:25

  - I noticed K&C is out on Netflix but I've always been a little skeptical to watch given the dude's claims. How was it? -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:18 1
    - minor spoilers - con_carne Nov 4, 09:24
Amazon lightning deal right now is adorable, especially for those with toddlers. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 4, 08:48
TWC have aquired US rights to Peaky Blinders -- (link) - LMS Nov 4, 08:48 2
- I wonder where it will end up. TWC doesn't seem like a natural play for this. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 08:49 1
  - I wonder how much they're going to cut out. -- nm - LMS Nov 4, 09:36
Haaretz is reporting that the US will propose it's own peace accord to Israel and Palestine based on the 1967 borders. -- (link) - spamlet Nov 4, 08:44 4

    - Have you guys been reading some of the comments under some of these articles? - Diva Nov 4, 09:12 5
      - it certainly is an interesting angle to the story. - groiny Nov 4, 09:17 4
        
        I think he fears for not just his life but the lives of his families. -- nm - David Nov 4, 09:39 3
        
        it's stuff like this and the Hernandez story that make me wonder just how dangerous an NFL locker room is? -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:43 1
