- The Seahwaks D let nubby win! -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:28 4
  - first time in who knows when that Brees scored in the single digits -- nm - crash davis Dec 3, 11:33 3
    - Yeah, I predicted he would score 10 but they still should have surprised me even better! - Spawn Dec 3, 11:36 2
      - 12. you predicted 12. -- nm - nubby Dec 3, 11:44 1
        
        "about 12" -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:46
- yeah, he gave you nothing at all. You should vote him out in lieu of Samara next season. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 11:26
from B2ish, and retirement accounts ... I had to go check mine, and I'm glad to see that ... - i'm not dead yet ! Dec 3, 11:24
"New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera will flip the switch and light the tree for the first time in the season." -- (link) - ty97 Dec 3, 11:24
If Samara goes undefeated, we really should give her a spot in Astronauts. -- nm - David Dec 3, 11:16 26
- More sports leagues in general need relegation. -- nm - timPhone Dec 3, 11:42 2
  - Kind of hard to do with keeper leagues. -- nm - nubby Dec 3, 11:46
  - I've suggested as much for college football in particular - znufrii Dec 3, 11:44

      - Actually, pixie just handing over his team to kilbo probably has it beat. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 3, 11:47 1
        
        A certain Canadian took over my team. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:53
      - I remember setting those leagues. To keep my feud going with Pixie, amoxy got moved to Cavemen. I feel bad about this every draft. - crash davis Dec 3, 11:29
    - From what I remember, RC was the person on the clock the longest in the draft..... -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 11:27 1

- [deleted] 10
  - not if it messes with keepers -- nm - crash davis Dec 3, 11:23 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - I'm trying to think how you would do expansion. Only allow 4 keepers instead of 5 (no wildcard)? - Was Bar Was Dec 3, 11:35
      - If we are expanding to 12, we will need to change some things. - Spawn Dec 3, 11:30 6

- Slacker Premier League! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 11:22
- Kind of think we should, period. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:17 1
  - Undefeated regular season is a first, right? -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:18
Bwahahaha I made the playoffs in all but 1 of my FF leagues...even in Cavemen where I'm 6-7... - IrishStephen Dec 3, 11:12 4

    - [deleted] 7
      - Yup. I had to go through a similar exercise not too long ago. Basically, how do you say "experienced" without saying "old". - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 11:20 3

        Oooh, touched a nerve! -- nm - nubby Dec 3, 11:49
Yahoo's footy page isn't working for me and I can never find the cut off time so I don't know if I should keep trying. -- nm - zork Dec 3, 11:06 2
- cutoff time is usually 7am ET the day of the first game (today) -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 11:07 1
  - I thought it was a certain amount of time before the first game. Oh well. I found last year's pages much better than this year. -- nm - zork Dec 3, 11:13
I apparently have a Shutterfly coupon for $20 off holiday cards and another coupon for free economy shipping. Anyone want? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 11:01 1
- That's what I thought. *delete* -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 11:28

  - and my sister is not likely to help matters. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 11:11 9
    - Mine either. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:19 7
      - your sister is living in Japan as well? what a f*cking coincidence! -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 11:20 6
        
        No but my sister is not likely to help matters there. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:26 5
        
        so, you've offered a data point completely irrelevant to the conversation, gotcha. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 11:32 4
        
        Sorry, did not realize you have a Japanese sister. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:39 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I do recall her being in Europe this year, but not Japan. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 11:48

  - And their immigration is next to nil by design. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 3, 11:10 3
    - what does this mean? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 3, 11:20 2
      - They are a rather insular nation with barriers to immigration. The best (only?) way for an aging nation to increase youth population is immigration. - ty97 Dec 3, 11:27 1
        
        So they don't want people to come and live there? how is the US going to go down this same path - Epiphany Dec 3, 11:42

David, what is this discolored patch of skin under my nutsack? -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 10:53 1

        how easy is it to sell the bitcoins you bought? -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 12:13
    - to show the plausibility of this, there was a story recently about a guy who threw away a HD with some bitcoins on it thinking it was dead - Reagen Dec 3, 10:57 1
