Damn. The Bears just got another TD taken back due to a penalty - oblique Nov 25, 08:17
guest model on Price Is Right today is ... - zork Nov 25, 08:15
Walking Dead Question (spoilers) - amoxy Nov 25, 08:13 1

Um, yeah. No butter means no graham cracker crust today. Why don't we have any butter? I wanna make key lime pie! -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 07:59 4
- go to the store, lazy-ass. -- nm - colin Nov 25, 08:06 3
  - good point -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 08:21
  - seriously! Pinch is old enough to babysit! -- nm - decline Nov 25, 08:07 1
    - or go to the store his self -- nm - prayformojo Nov 25, 08:12
I just sofi'd my student loans. one of us has to be the guinea pig, right? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 07:52
Doctor Who: Matt Smith is actually the 13th Dr. and Capaldi will be the 14th -- (link) - Remlik Nov 25, 07:45 19
- that's not what he said a couple of days ago -- (link) - zork Nov 25, 08:17
- but wait, we can't just stop calling them 9, 10, and 11. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 07:58
- so Moffatt has to write his way out of this AND Sherlock. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 07:57
- Fascinating. I guess this explains the suckage of the most recent batch of episodes. Moffatt was focused on year 50. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:50 10
  - the last half of the season felt like the episodes were 3/4 done. -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 07:52 9
    - My suspicion is that he delegated a lot in order to keep his desk clean for 50. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:53 8
      - I can see that. Makes the announcement that he got a new producer for next season make sense... - Remlik Nov 25, 07:55 7
        
        That batch of six episodes feels like they came from an entirely different person than the one who did Day of the Doctor, which is a masterpiece. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:59 5
        
        I haven't seen those 6 episodes yet. Should I just read recaps rather than waiting for them to come out on Netflix/Hulu? -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 08:01 3
        
        The problem is that you miss Clara's back story if you do that but the episodes are subpar. - David Nov 25, 08:04 1
        
        Thanks, I'll wait for them to come out then. -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 08:17
        
        watch them on nights you have insomnia. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 08:01
        
        they really were lame. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 07:59
        
        plus he is doing Sherlock -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 07:57
- ?? -- nm - amoxy Nov 25, 07:47 4
  - spoils.... - Remlik Nov 25, 07:54 3
    - Heh, I had assumed they meant when Tennant revived his hand. -- nm - David Nov 25, 08:13
    - Dumb -- nm - amoxy Nov 25, 07:59
    - um that was already a spoilt -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 07:55
Doubt it will do much good, but if are as disgusted by Supreme Court justices engaging in politics, you may want to sign this petition. -- (link) - GregW Nov 25, 07:43
I stopped watching the Denver/NE game at halftime.. what the hell happened? - colin Nov 25, 07:43 10
- Brady, through sheer power of his awesomeness, caused an error on a punt return that won the game. -- nm - Was Bar Was Nov 25, 07:57
- Denver lost. - GregW Nov 25, 07:45 2
  - Um, no, they didn't. The total offense was about even. Once the Broncos started turning the ball over, the Patriots got back in the game. -- nm - Jim Nov 25, 07:46 1
    - Yeah, that too. -- nm - GregW Nov 25, 07:49
- The Pats stopped turning the ball over every. single. drive and finally scored some friggin points. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:44 4
  - they sure did have the dropsies last night -- nm - decline Nov 25, 08:06
  - Pretty much this. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 07:55
  - my brother believes that Peyton gets brittle in the cold... I guess the 2nd half was too cold for him and he seized up. -- nm - colin Nov 25, 07:46 1
    - there was some play-calling that suggested he just wasn't confident throwing down field. - Diva Nov 25, 07:49
- They each gift wrapped a half for each other. Broncos got the first. Pats got the second. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:44
Xbox One sales surpass 1 million on 1st day -- (link) - Beaker Nov 25, 07:33 18
- I'd like to see how many of those were in North America. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:35 17
  - I'd guess around 600k. We'll know better when NPD numbers come out. - Inigo Nov 25, 07:40 16
    - If Sony doesn't add voice commands soon, they are going to get destroyed. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:51 15
      - No they won't. But if you think so, don't stop believing. The PS4 does have commands in case you weren't actually aware. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:55 10
        
        See below. PS4 will get left behind in the same way they did because of the gap between Live and PS+. - David Nov 25, 07:57 9
        
        PS3 sold more units than the 360, if that's what getting left behind means. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 08:03 8
        
        Even if this were not the silliest statement possible given the advantage Sony had heading into this generation... - David Nov 25, 08:09
        
        They're both right around 80 million units sold according to the last official press releases. -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 08:06 6
        
        80.4M to 79.3M according to vgchartz. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 08:08 5
        
        vgchartz just makes educated guesses. On Oct. 17, Microsoft's press release says that the Xbox360 passed 80 million in sales. - Inigo Nov 25, 08:12
        
        Wow, 45 million to 27.5 million in North America. It really was a blowout. -- nm - David Nov 25, 08:10 3
        
        Ah of course. I should've expected that all of your comments should be appended with ' in 'MURICA!!!!!' -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 08:12 2
        
        North 'MURICA!!!!, yeah. - David Nov 25, 08:17 1
        
        The big thing against the One in non-US countries is that all that cool entertainment stuff doesn't work. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 08:19
      - Don't they already have them? I read a Neogaf thread that said the PS4 can be voice enabled. - Inigo Nov 25, 07:53 3
        
        My understanding from reviews is that the PS4 voice commands are tacked on. They are the infrastructure of the One. - David Nov 25, 07:56 2
        
        How are the games treating you? -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:57 1
        
        I only have the one, but it's fun. Unlike Dead Rising 2, you get vehicles early and often. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:58

- It was a surprising signing. I am disappointed in them. -- nm - David Nov 25, 07:52 1
  - I'm not thrilled with it either. I guess it was that important to them to not give up any of the - Jim Nov 25, 07:57
- I'm confused, who did the Cardinals sign? -- nm - amoxy Nov 25, 07:39 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Bad writing. Improper use of "in lieu". -- nm - nubby Nov 25, 08:05
    - Melky got paid too. That still surprises me -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 07:54
    - Out of curiosity...how long would it have taken for the collusion grievance to be filed if no owner signed him? - Jim Nov 25, 07:42
- When have the Cards ever given Braun any shit? -- nm - Jim Nov 25, 07:32 1
  - [deleted]
- Exactly, because they do things the RIGHT way. - nubby Nov 25, 07:27
Thanks for the advice on B2. -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 07:22

If the season ended now, these would be the 4 NFL wild card teams. Name them. -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 07:14 38
- To be clear: Chiefs, Titans, Panthers and Cardinals. - Inigo Nov 25, 07:25 1
  - heck no. love it. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:31
- Cardinals, Panthers, Chargers, Titans -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 07:15 30
  - Oh jeebus, KC instead of the Titans. - Will Hunting Nov 25, 07:16 29
    - Dear Prudence - I've Become Annoyed w/My Husband's Erectile Dysfunction - Diva Nov 25, 07:28 27
      - LOL -- nm - elf kelly Nov 25, 08:11 1
        
        Just give Will some time. Sheesh. -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 08:18
      - um, he is seeing a doctor. why not just *not have sex for a few days* and see what the doctor says? - Andie Nov 25, 07:50 2
        
        a few days?! Are you out of your effin mind! That could be 2 more whole days at least. Maybe 4! Waaaaaaaa -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 07:56
        
        haven't you been listening? MY NEEDS!!! -- nm - Whiny Beeyotch si Nov 25, 07:52
      - sorry, Will. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 07:33
      - He's going to the doctor, and will most likely get a prescription. - Inigo Nov 25, 07:32 7
        
        because she's a selfish, whiny b. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:33 5
        
        My guess is she knows that even if he has a physical problem... - Inigo Nov 25, 07:39 4
        
        SHE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!!!! -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:41 3
        
        omg I'm crying over here -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:46

        THE BATTERIES RAN OUT! Does that mean it doesn't want me anymore? - whiny beyotch Nov 25, 07:44
        
        cause its all about HER! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:33
      - Strange thread for this, but I'll chime in. What an effin selfish bitch. Done -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 07:30 3
        
        her self esteem is all tied up in her sex life - and if she doesn't get it fixed now - its going to be - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:32
        
        this is what I've been waiting for. Now I can resume the day. Thx, CQ. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:31 1
        
        hee! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:31
      - threesome -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 07:28 6
        
        you joke but it would literally solve everything - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:31 5
        
        she's too upset to do so as it's been 3 whole weeks. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:32 4
        
        3 weeks Diva. *THREE* weeks. and how can she be expected to wait a couple more days??? -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 07:51 2
        
        I'm only 30!!! -- nm - Whiny Beeyotch si Nov 25, 07:53 1
        
        She obviously needs to work out more. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:56
        
        he needs to leave her for the doorman - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:34
      - worst. placement of a post on ST. Ever. - Diva Nov 25, 07:28 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 08:00
    - KC instead of the Chargers. -- nm - Inigo Nov 25, 07:19
- KC, Titans and some teams in the NFC. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:15 4
  - Panthers. -- nm - nubby Nov 25, 07:15 3
    - Cobras -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 07:24
    - :) tee-hee! -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:18 1
      - Denver, New Orleans, Seattle. - nubby Nov 25, 07:26
Your attention, please: I've already completed 13 of the 24 steps in the Massive Database and Code Splitting Project that is supposed to take 2 days - prayformojo Nov 25, 07:13 1
- If I had a dime for every time I've heard this, I'd be a rich man. -- nm - volnelk Nov 25, 07:14
How many times is the NFL going to allow Brady to berate officials before he's finally fined? Jesus. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:09 3
- Into a microphone? If it is only on field, I think they just ignore anyone unless they get obscene or threatening. -- nm - GregW Nov 25, 07:49
- 5 more times -- nm - decline Nov 25, 07:11 1
  - after the next time.. "well, 5 more times from now.." - colin Nov 25, 07:39
Cold, wet, and dreary... Ugh. -- nm - Qale as Folk Nov 25, 07:04
“For the record, sources confirm Jon Bon Jovi is the frontman for a planned NFL in Toronto bid, with Larry [Tanenbaum], pushed by MLSE.” -- (link) - Beaker Nov 25, 07:02 20
- Do the Canadian people want this? Is there a market for a team there? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:06 19
  - Toronto would, if it's (a) not owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and (b) doesn't suck like a team owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment -- nm - Roger More Nov 25, 08:23
  - not really, the push for it surprises me (especially given our much higher taxes and if the dollar drops to where it was a few years ago, look out) - Beaker Nov 25, 07:27 1
    - not sure about that but the bribes for the border guards are going to add up real quick. - zork Nov 25, 07:34
  - I don't care. I already have a fave NFL team and I find it hard to believe that anyone outside of the GTA would care. - Shaun Nov 25, 07:22 10
    - GTA = Rob Ford Nation. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:35
    - pretty much at first, although it would help Canadian business get into the NFL game plus the Bills would probably be the home market for all Canada s - zork Nov 25, 07:29 7
      - they might not be the Bills anymore though, you know? They might become something else entirely. - Diva Nov 25, 07:37 2
        
        that definitely would happen -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:39 1
        
        Fun fact - i am seeing the Bills this Sunday in Toronto. -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 08:12
      - Yeah imagine that nightmare. I'm sure people in Vancouver would love to be force fed Bills games. Yuck. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:33 3
        
        and Pats fans would lose their shit -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 07:34 2
        
        Is there actually that big of a Bills fan base in Toronto? -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:37
        
        and if they can't see any game because the game isn't sold out? -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:36
    - What if they bring in hot cheerleaders? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:25
  - people want it but the only tickets that are sure to sell here are the Leafs. -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:18 1
    - also, this wouldn't happen for at least 5 years as I hear it. -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:19
  - I can tell you that if they're counting on Canada rallying behind them, they've got a reality check coming. -- nm - Reagen Nov 25, 07:16
  - We're really not sure. They haven't seen real NFL football in the years the Bills have played there. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 07:06 1
    - *snicker* -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:08
Dan Haren and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a one-year deal worth $10 million, according to FOXSports.com -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 06:58
Any STers own a Chevy Cruze? You are likely not getting the gas mileage you expected -- (link) - Beaker Nov 25, 06:57
[deleted] 4
- and Brady is up on Peyton 12-4 in head-to-head games now too IIRC -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 06:53 2
  - The Patriots have had the majority of the better teams in that span, so this "head to head" match up makes sense. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 25, 07:10 1
    - umm, other than Peyton's first year Indy's teams have typically been 11/12 wins per year -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 07:31
- NFL teams that trailed by 24 points or more at halftime are now a combined 6-485. - Diva Nov 25, 06:47
[deleted] 3
- Yeah, let's try not to eff it up like the last few. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 06:51
- And let's be careful out there -- nm - Phil Esterhaus Nov 25, 06:38 1
  - I'll drink to that! - Dean Martin Nov 25, 06:39
