- He was a free agent and the Phillies pretty much told him they would not pick up his contract -- nm - decline Dec 9, 08:00
- One-day contract with the Jays. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 07:59 2

    - Wonder where that guy went to college. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 08:12
Uh what? National Weather Service issues Winter Storm Watch for DC Tuesday: 5+ inches likely -- (link) - MDH Dec 9, 07:45 5
- Based on their guesses yesterday, we could either get nothing or 15" -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 07:58
- yup. We're supposed to get around 4. I've already called for a snow day :) -- nm - decline Dec 9, 07:56
- Oh, I'd say 5+ inches is *very* likely... -- nm - sexy nubby Dec 9, 07:51 1
  - you go nubby! -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:52
- It's a weather forecast, Shirley. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:49
As President Putin puts on more weight, he begins to look like Harry Pearce from MI-5. Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 9, 07:43
Inigo, is Weekend at Bobby's the one with the wood chipper? -- nm - David Dec 9, 07:42 3
- Yes, it is. It's all in his perspective. Sam and Dean seem like a couple of whiny babies in it. -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 07:49 2
  - The woman's reaction was comedy gold. -- nm - David Dec 9, 08:07
  - Directed by Jensen Ackles IIRC. One of my favorite eps as well. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:50

- have I mentioned that I hate football? - groiny Dec 9, 07:43 30
  - While I like some of the rule changes made in recent years, ie. all scoring plays reviewed, 2 feet + possession for a catch, but... - Shaun Dec 9, 07:47 13
    - In the Colts game yesterday, a Bengal tried to run the ball into the endzone. He failed as he was hit and clearly on the ground. - Spawn Dec 9, 07:51 4
      - also, at some point, we are going to start getting people screaming collusion. - groiny Dec 9, 07:53 1
        
        That PI call was atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54
      - well, lucky for you that it was not a one touchdown game. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:51 1
        
        At that point, it was. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 07:53
    - it is no coincidence that we are getting more games won on the last drive now, than I can ever remember. - groiny Dec 9, 07:49 7
      - The Lions got hosed yesterday during one drive. The roughing the passer call that Fairley got was a complete effing joke. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:54 6
        
        well, I can't fault them for that, because the Lions built that rep for themselves. - groiny Dec 9, 07:55 5
        
        Are we expecting too much from guys with 6-figure part-time jobs? -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:57 4
        
        But my example is ridiculous. The call on the field was right, there was no angle that seriously contradicted it, and the booth took their time ... - Spawn Dec 9, 08:00
        
        I expect them to let the players play, and don't be so damn flag happy. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:58 2
        
        It's pretty amazing that some games can have 1-2 penalties, yet others have high teens/low 20s penalties. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:59 1
        
        the amount of hand fighting by WR and CB, and you can be sure that defense gets flagged 80% of the time - groiny Dec 9, 08:01
  - [deleted] 15
    - you apparently like 3 lead changes in 2 minutes. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:45 13
      - you say that like it's a bad thing? -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 07:48 6
        
        it kind of it. It is like baseball and the home run binge. - groiny Dec 9, 07:50 5
        
        not exactly a perfect comparison, but I get your point. - znufrii Dec 9, 07:56 4
        
        it might sell, but is it good for the game? - groiny Dec 9, 07:57 3
        
        your "joy to watch" is another's "boring as sh!t" -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 08:02 2
        
        curious. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 08:02 1
        
        Not really. znu falls into the, "Oh, shiny!" camp. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:04

        CP is something special. That reverse that was called back was nice, too. - Inigo Dec 9, 07:52 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Oh, right. Forgot that you had three first rounders. How is Floyd so far? -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 08:04 1
        
        [deleted]
    - I didn't watch anything yesterday. So. freaking. busy. -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 9, 07:45

    - The stat is even more amazing thern! -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 07:44
[deleted] 3
- Your goal for the next 22 days: Fly 804 miles...exactly -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 9, 07:40 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Then you will need this at the 804th mile -- (link) - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 9, 07:44

  - (spoils) - Inigo Dec 9, 07:46 4
    - no no, it gets better again. don't listen to the rocket scientist, what does he know? -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:50 3
      - I have to catch up with my daughter. So, even if nubbah is right, I'll be watching until season 9. -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 07:59
      - Seven is very bad. Eight is passable. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 07:53 1
        
        Eight is great. you shut your mouth. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:54

I'm living in Cusco for the next month, heart of the Inca empire more than 500 years ago. Come visit, ST! -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 9, 07:28 9
- I read this as Costco and was going to call their world headquarters and tell them to "get out!". - Mel Profit Dec 9, 07:49
- Heh. I guess my hunch that you were in Thailand was wrong ... (they're having a bit of a coup there) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 07:40 2
  - or Ukraine -- nm - zork Dec 9, 07:45 1

    - That's an awesome experience. I'm so happy you're loving it and doing well while there. - Krusty Dec 9, 07:42 1
      - agreed. It's sort of an amazing adventure. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 9, 07:49

- honestly, I am shocked he is not currently a head coach already. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:32 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - his only fault, is that he is not a great offensive mind. But he sure knows how to coach a defense. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:36
- Houston should just continue their clusterfuck of a season and just hire Wade Phillips as the HC. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:28 3
  - ugh, I hate Wade Phillips. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:32 2
    - He's a solid DC, there's no doubts there, but he is a shitty HC. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:34 1
      - this. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:37
Zero degrees. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Dec 9, 07:19

- I got very little when I played that game. Went from 500K to 200K winning very little -- nm - amoxy Dec 9, 07:13 3
  - What was your bet per spin? I spun 25 times at 3k and didn't win, upped to 6k, killed it. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 07:14 2
    - Started at 1200 moved up to 3K. And it just seemed like a boring game - amoxy Dec 9, 07:17 1
      - it is boring, but there are some big payouts. I was only betting 600 per spin, and hit a few 30K pots - groiny Dec 9, 07:18
Here's who else I spotted last night: - LMS Dec 9, 07:04 10

      - [deleted] 3
        
        I just don't know if he's capable of not playing in a way that causes these things. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 07:53
        
        With this and the Hernandez debacle, the Pats should stay away from long term deals with TEs for a good while. -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 07:14
        
        it could be worse... -- nm - Aaron Hernandez Dec 9, 07:13

- "Kim good work stuff" -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Dec 9, 07:18
- also, why am I doing a task that really belongs to my manager? -- nm - zork Dec 9, 06:54 3
  - You know the first boss who came up with self-evaluations got high-fives from all his management buddies. - Inigo Dec 9, 06:56 2
    - Yeah, I consistently come in way lower than my managers. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 9, 07:21
    - I bet he graded himself highly -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 07:09
- Worst first ever. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 9, 06:48 3
