        This is why the number one pick should be a lottery with the best odds to the team that finished just out of the playoffs. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 13:14
- Why does it matter? One of the teams in front of you will be 3-11 no matter what. -- nm - David Dec 10, 12:49 1

I love getting rid of some of these cards. Just got a dude to take all my NASCAR hits. - Jim Dec 10, 12:40 3

YDC, but I'm trying to figure out how 17 books go missing while in transit from a branch to Central. Pretty much has to be a staff member theft. - mara Dec 10, 12:32 15

  - This is such a routine procedure, done daily. My reply to znu below outlines the way things usually go. It's unprecedented, in terms of the amount, - mara Dec 10, 12:54 2
    - I'm just envisioning all the books coming back in sacks, or boxes, or carts. And one container got set in the wrong spot just inside the door. -- nm - landbeck Dec 10, 12:59 1
      - I think a misplaced container would have been spotted in the last 5 months. -- nm - mara Dec 10, 13:02

Seahawks, Broncos, Saints, Pats -- (link) - Beaker Dec 10, 12:06 14
- Wow...the Seahawks lose to San Fran and the Broncos completely destroy the Titans and we still don't move up? -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 12:10 13
  - ESPN is dumb and I don't pay much attention to them. The Pats shouldn't be that high with Gronk out. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 12:12 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - I know, but it's different further down the road this season and you can't trust the defense at all. - Diva Dec 10, 12:21 4
        
        All that is true, but who do you put ahead of them? The Chiefs? Carolina? -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 12:39 3
        
        since the Pats had trouble beating the Texans who majorly suck probably either or both of them. - Diva Dec 10, 12:41

- they don't say how she and dad get along -- nm - ruddy the red nosed zeitgeist Dec 10, 11:52
- Ceremony alone is fine. As the father, it would be devastating to him to not attend at least that. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 11:48 1
  - This - znufrii Dec 10, 11:55

- nuts to all a-ya. It`s f#ckin`great. -- nm - mud Dec 10, 12:23
- pretty blah season for sure. But the show absolutely gets renewed. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:15
- It is a fun ride as long as you don't try to relate it to any type of reality. Think of it as an alternate universe. (spoilers) - GregW Dec 10, 11:56
- so, you're watching season 1? The acting was great but 24 had more feet in reality -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 11:36

I think Max is right in saying that Mandela would have appreciated all the camaraderie -- (link) - zork Dec 10, 11:29 [Backboard]
Mel: Agreed. I've been mildly suggesting it to a few of them for some days now. So, are we proceeding? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 11:27 16
- What I'm thinking of posting on the forum... - Mel Profit Dec 10, 11:41 7
  - The third one, though I love it, may be a bit much. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 11:52
  - I don't like the last point, too hard to manage. If he does get into say CWG then we have a major conflict with a very aggressive opponent - Beaker Dec 10, 11:47 3
    - very good point. Thanks. I'll omit that. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 10, 11:53 2
      - maybe add: all EMP members must be v-mode for us to consider peace at this time. -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 12:01 1
        
        at first I thought this might be a good idea but... - Mel Profit Dec 10, 12:08
  - I jumped the gun and posted, but whatever you post supersedes my message. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 11:45 1
    - maybe let the forum know a more formal response is coming. - Mel Profit Dec 10, 11:55
- I think that's fine. yes, let's proceed... - Mel Profit Dec 10, 11:29 7
  - Especially if we can get most of them to leave. Would love him to be an alliance of few. In one message he mentioned he might have to ... - Spawn Dec 10, 11:32 6
    - sportbully would be my guess he is refering to -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 11:36 5
      - that's who he mentioned. This is apparently the highest MS player they have. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 10, 11:43 4
        
        he'd get his ass kicked right quick. like I said this morning we have a dozen of the top 50 and 3 in the top 10 mil scores -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 11:44 3
        
        and the bigger point is our players know how to use it and our smaller guys are fantastic help too -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 11:45 2
        
        agreed. - Mel Profit Dec 10, 12:10 1

    - I wonder if they would have had a chance at Briles if they'd acted before Baylor ponied up -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 11:42 2
      - [deleted]
      - I'm more curious about whether Briles goes back on his word and heads to Washington for the RG3 reunion. - David Dec 10, 11:44
    - I wonder if they will avoid the usual trap of being rejected by 3 guys, looking weaker because of it and settling it for a rising coordinator. -- nm - David Dec 10, 11:41 2
      - [deleted]
      - (or a mid-major head coach) -- nm - David Dec 10, 11:41
