I've got two useless injury stories...vote which one you like better: - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 21:27 3
- I prefer the ladybug story. As a parent, it's less terrifying. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:33
- I'll go for the second..... - Meg Nov 4, 21:33 1
  - And perfect timing. -- nm - the liioulu with pumpkins Nov 4, 21:35
I'm fairly certain that the opening of Bones was spoofing Gangnam Style ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:15
Just spent about a half hour in a room with 20 or 30 cub scouts...I'm exhausted. -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 21:11 5
- you need a pit 1m x2m x 2meter deep ? -- nm - peglegpete Nov 4, 21:56
- Oh, and where's Jim - I was also asked if I'd care to be a merit badge counselor for the archaeology badge :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 21:19 3
  - I LOVE this! Go Meg! -- nm - JenBro Nov 4, 21:24 2
    - Like I don't have enough to do already.......but I'd be *teaching* archaeology! How can I refuse? -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 21:26 1
      - sorry - posted and promptly fell asleep last night - I agree - you gotta do this! Will be their best badge ever :) -- nm - JenBro Nov 5, 05:12
nice win, McCown! -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:41 2
- Pretty impressive. Nice to see the bears defensive line show up. - pmb Nov 4, 20:43 1
  - yeah, well we are missing our qb too -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:56
Am I missing something. Whether that field goal is good the Packers would still need a TD. -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 20:38 5
- A TD only ties with a field goal. Otherwise, it wins. -- nm - David Nov 4, 20:45 3
  - When I posted that it was because Gruden said after it was made, now they need a touchdown. They did before it was made -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Nov 4, 21:03
  - i would rather make them go 90 yards with 40 seconds left - groiny Nov 4, 20:55 1
    - They had to go 75 yards with 40 seconds left the way they did it and were in no danger of losing. -- nm - David Nov 4, 21:09
- yeah, makes zero sense to me -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:39
they should just run another play here -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:37 2
- up 4, they need a td either way, and at worst, they give them the ball on the 10 -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:38 1
  - now you risk a good run back -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:39

      - email me your address. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 4, 20:29 1

- Maybe? We had one but may have taken it to McKay's. I'll look in a few minutes. -- nm - David Nov 4, 20:06 5
  - I appreciate it. Damn Wiis and their endless parade of accessories. Link to the Past is on Club Nintendo, but requires it or the Wii U equivalent. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 20:11 4

        Of course - and same for you. - Kim Pine Nov 4, 21:12 1
        
        Yes. He's not going anywhere! -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 21:30
- I'm not that angry at you. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 20:05 2
  - I'm sure it wouldn't hurt nearly as much as, say, a dualshock 4. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 20:10 1
    - Or an original XBox controller -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 20:15
if I hear "catch radius" one more time, I am gonna puke -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:04 1

Teams need to get taller CBs -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 19:53 1
- taller CBs get turned into receivers. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 19:57
Looser gun laws than ever. More shootings than ever. coincidence? -- nm - loosi at home Nov 4, 19:49 8
- This would make sense, if some of the shootings weren't happening in states with the strictest gun laws. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 5, 04:04 1
  - No American state has strict gun laws -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 05:16
- more shootings means we need to loosen up the those laws more so we can arm up and protect our (damn just shot myself, ow that hurts) -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 4, 20:28

So if you're the bears, is this making you think about whether you want to throw all that money at Cutler after the season - pmb Nov 4, 18:56 9
- The Bears spent how many years trying to find a QB? They'd be fools to let this one go. -- nm - David Nov 4, 19:42 6
  - If he can come come back and continue the year he's been having, I agree. If he can't come back soon or is hampered by the injury, I would franchise - pmb Nov 4, 19:50 5
    - They're saying he'll start next week. He's a remarkably tough guy. -- nm - David Nov 4, 19:56 4
      - He is. It's amazing people questioned his toughness. -- nm - pmb Nov 4, 20:01 3
        
        some still do -- nm - groiny Nov 4, 20:05 2

Gary Kubiak Had A "Mini-Stroke" Monday Night -- (link) - Beaker Nov 4, 18:43 5
- My dad had one last January. Was the weirdest thing to watch happen in real time. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 21:00
- For those of you like me who were stupid enough to read a Deadspin headline, they mean *Sunday* night. He didn't have something else happen tonight. - David Nov 4, 19:59
- And that was before the fourth quarter. -- nm - Dano Nov 4, 18:45

  - I am going to beat a guy that only needed 5 points from Rodgers -- nm - Bacon Nov 4, 18:39 1
    - Maybe that was him. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 4, 18:46

- video -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:33 [youtube]
Instead of discontinuing the Wii in the US like they should to promote sales of Wii U, instead they bust out the craptastic Wii Mini. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 18:26 2
- What they should really be doing is porting their top games to iOS. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 4, 18:38 1
  - A thousand times no! lol -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 18:50
No clubs there either. I think that would have been a really bad call. -- nm - GregW Nov 4, 18:25

Will with a 15 minute delay, there should be some way for ESPN to show us the hole cards. it's not fun not knowing their hands -- nm - peglegpete Nov 4, 18:08 9
- They are of the people in the hand. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 18:14 5
  - AFTER the hand is over. all the fun is gone not seeing the hand as it is being played. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 4, 18:16 4
    - This is the difference between playing poker and watching poker. I love that I can see 'live' play and then get reality after it. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 18:22 3
      - Same here. I really like having the chip count above, since we can't see the stacks. -- nm - GregW Nov 4, 18:23 2
        
        that is a very smart addition -- nm - peglegpete Nov 4, 18:33
        
        Yeah, this presentation is really *sharp*. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 18:25
- hole card cam is the reason poker on television worked in the first place. -- nm - Tim Nov 4, 18:09 2
  - True, but they never tried it with showing the hole cards after each hand. At least the rest of us can see what happened. -- nm - GregW Nov 4, 18:19
  - This. It's a documented fact. Poker went viral on tv only after this innovation. -- nm - Mop on Safari Nov 4, 18:12
