    - isn't he short for an NFL QB? - groiny Jan 2, 10:15 9
      - I doubt he's even 5-10, but nobody can tackle him. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:17

        where was Wilson drafted? -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:16 6
        
        #75 but he would go no lower than #3 if the draft were held today. - David Jan 2, 10:18 1
        
        I think a lot of teams are kinda set in their ways, and will knock a shorty down. - groiny Jan 2, 10:20
        
        in retrospect, where should he have been drafted? -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 10:17 3
        
        that is kind of my point. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:19 2
        
        OK, so maybe GMs have learned their lesson. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 10:20 1
        
        one player does not change the entire drafting philosophy. - groiny Jan 2, 10:22

- Koch, for the Ravens, is one of the best punters in the league, and will most likely be let go. - Inigo Jan 2, 10:07 1
  - [deleted]
- Was wondering when that was coming. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:03
Bwhatever. Count me interested in that ST short stories thing. - con_carne Jan 2, 09:58 7
- do we need to organzie something for people to participate? especially if we all decide to anthologize things and publish it? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 2, 10:06
- sure, I might give it a go as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:04
- I'll take a stab at it too. -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 10:00
- I'm 7,000 words into a short story. I'd be down for this as well. - Inigo Jan 2, 09:59 3
  - 7ooo words ... your bordering on novella now :) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 2, 10:00
  - How are you going to edit that down to 800 words? -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:00 1
    - I thought Bery changed his mind on that. - Inigo Jan 2, 10:03
Can't tell you how delighted I am to never have to watch an episode of Burn Notice again. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 09:57 2
- I finally watched the last 3 eps last week. It had its moments, but I can't say I'm going to miss it. -- nm - GregW Jan 2, 10:04
- I was delighted to drop it 2 seasons ago. It was an onion with a few two many layers that all felt the same. - TWuG Jan 2, 09:59
I can honestly say I have not seen or heard a peep about ABC's "The Assets" show airing tonight. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 09:56
boston.com Love Letters - I Can't Trust Him Anymore - Diva Jan 2, 09:54 18
- My guess is they're both very young. Like early 20s. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 10:16 2
  - the situation sounds it but her obvious desperation to get married and phrasing makes me think older. - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 10:18 1
    - Yeah, it would be young to be that desperate. I always think your alt is true. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 10:23
- I'm sure it'll be fine. Stay with him. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:12 1
  - lol. exactly. this is the *only* answer this girl wants to hear. -- nm - Jovian Jan 2, 10:21
- OFFS -- nm - pippy bells Jan 2, 10:11
- and I wish my ex-girlfriends and girl friends sent me topless pictures of themselves as a joke -- nm - Jovian Jan 2, 10:08 1
  - Funny! -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:10
- Dear idiot chick in NJ - Jovian Jan 2, 10:07 2
  - 10 words too many. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:09
  - She doesn't want to admit she's wasted 9 months on this guy. But it's either 9 months now or 2 years later. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:08
- DTMFA -- nm - JD Jan 2, 10:03
- you're absolutely right, you can't trust him, so, what's your question? -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 10:00 1
  - The spy cam is the most concerning thing. I hear the UN has a study about these kinds of guys. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:03
- Do not walk. - Spawn Jan 2, 09:59
- Run. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 09:59
- Maybe if you sent him some nekkid photos, he'd stop looking at other chicks. nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:58

(Hi Dignan!) - So apparently it is the same temperature in Winnipeg as it is on Mars... -- (link) - Andie Jan 2, 09:52 2

- It was -30C straight up this morning when I can into work. That's is too damn cold. -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 09:53

"A recent UN report on sexual violence found that as many as one in four men in some part of the world have committed rape. - David Jan 2, 09:46 6
- a large portion of them in Alabama. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:50

    - Gotta work the averages. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:51
so i finally did that dialect test. apparently i am from middle california. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 09:46 2
- it's the blonde hair. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:46 1
  - tangent - i cut off 5 inches this week. my head feels lighter. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 09:48
I know we're all upset about the titles being removed from Netflix on Jan 1. But in return we get Cheerleader Massacre II. - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 09:44
Disappointed to read about American hustle on bb. I chose to go to it later instead of anchorman two. -- nm - loyola Jan 2, 09:41
Here's a question: is everyone here as sold on Clowney as they were prior to the season? - David Jan 2, 09:40 10
- Totally sold. Definitely a top fiver. - rollo Jan 2, 09:53 1
  - That's where I stand on him as well. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:08
- From what I have seen he needs to work on his game. I see him as the third QB off the board. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:45 4
  - *confused gaze* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:46 3
    - lol. Third player off the board. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:53 2
      - You've never even heard of Clowney before, have you? -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:14 1
        
        He needs to work harder but will still go top three. Then again, I also think Bridgewater will not even be the first quarterback to go, so who knows. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 10:17
- I think he got hyped to superhero levels after that hit on the Michigan player last year. I think he's still very good and probably a top 5 pick - pmb Jan 2, 09:43
- [deleted] 1
  - I agree that the level his upside will be his attitude. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 09:43
so, weather poll - whatcha got? -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 09:27 26
- our usual mid 40's with a dreary over cast -- nm - auld lang zeitgeist Jan 2, 12:04
- Mid 50s on the way to high in mid 70s Sunny - JD Jan 2, 10:01 1
  - Sometimes I get a "So how's the weather in California!" like it is a relief for them to think about nice weather for a moment -- nm - con_carne Jan 2, 10:03
- 30 and clear. I'm wearing flats no socks - pippy bells Jan 2, 09:46
- It's been snowing for 48 hours in Chicago. -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 09:40 4
  - I am well aware, thanks! - groiny Jan 2, 09:45 3
    - Ugh, no snowblower? -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 09:48 2
      - I have an old one, but it weighs like 150 pounds, easier to shovel. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:50 1
        
        This storm has had some of the lightest, fluffiest snow I've ever had to shovel. It's not too bad but like you I've been out multiple times in the - rollo Jan 2, 09:56
- Storm. -- nm - loyola Jan 2, 09:39
- Cold. We've had about 6 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and may get another 3-5". Then it gets really, really cold before getting freakin' - pmb Jan 2, 09:37 1
  - agreed. I am so glad I upgraded coats and boots a few weeks back. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:38
- +4 but falling. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 09:35
- 39 and raining, miserable weather for this area. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:33
- [deleted]
- Maybe 4 inches of snow so far. Nearly died this morning when a semi on the other side lost control and came across the median. And in an hour I get... - Spawn Jan 2, 09:31 5
  - yikes. - znufrii Jan 2, 09:34 1
    - Thanks. It was just shy of two years ago that I had the accident on the same highway and I swear to the gods that I shouted, "OH, COME ON!!!!" -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:41
  - it doesn't suck at all - you did NOT die! score! -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 09:32 2
    - Right! It only sucks for the rest of us! - David Jan 2, 09:35 1
      - Thanks. As I crested a hill I could see snow flying up and thought it was a snow plow. Then I realized it was in the middle and coming right at me! - Spawn Jan 2, 09:40
- Sunny and 44, but with brisk winds it feels like freezing. -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 09:31
- Clear after the snow, 16 -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 09:31
- cloudy, 26F -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 09:30
- Scattered flurries and *cold*. Currently -16*C, feels like -26*. (3*F/-15*F) -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 09:28
- Fog. Just... nonstop fog. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 09:28
If you like comics, Comixology still has some of the greatest graphic novels on sale for $5.99. - David Jan 2, 09:22 2

- Who wants to trade their entire draft to me for Cutler? -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 2, 09:16 1
  - Ooh! Over here! -- nm - Mike Ditka Jan 2, 09:20
- I'd put him on par with Romo, Ryan and Flacco. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:14 33
  - yes, as I have said, other than the top tier guys, who would you take over him? - groiny Jan 2, 09:16 31
    - I'd easily take Cam over Jay, but this isn't fantasy football. There's really no viable option for the Bears. - Shaun Jan 2, 09:22 18
      - right, that is my point. They have to sign a free agent, who will likely cost them close to that money anyway. - groiny Jan 2, 09:24 12
        
        My point is that I'm not sure I would have gone all in on him. 7 years with $50mil guaranteed is a helluva commitment to a dude who hasn't proven he - Jim Jan 2, 09:25 8
        
        it was either this, or franchise tag him for one year, and revisit it again next season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:28 7
        
        I don't know the Bears situation...like do they have someone else they need to Franchise or anything... - Jim Jan 2, 09:30 6
        
        They have over 40 million in cap space now, but have a lot of free agents, too. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 09:52
        
        I think the deal probably gives them some relief cap-wise next year from what franchising would have. They have a ton of players they need to sign. - pmb Jan 2, 09:39 2
        
        I am very interested on what they do with Tillman. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:53 1
        
        If they can afford him I'd sign him for 2 more years. I think he's still one of the top 5 CB's in the league, but he's got to stay healthy. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 09:58
        
        they have some $ coming off the books this off season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:36
        
        Their punter. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:32
        
        It's like when Eli signed his stupidly large contract a few years ago. What else were the Giants going to do? -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 09:25 2
        
        I have been FB fighting with all kinds of Bears fans today, bitching about the deal. - groiny Jan 2, 09:26 1
        
        You know who wins when you FB fight? - Spawn Jan 2, 09:30
      - Cam's accuracy troubles me...and I say that as Cam's biggest fan here. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:23 4
        
        I don't know...I'd like better than 62% completion...but he has intangibles that make me not worry as much about the accuracy. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:33 2
        
        Against the Falcons and Saints, he missed waaaaay too many open receivers. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:34 1
        
        But that's something that can be worked on and improved. You can't improve a dude's head or heart. - Jim Jan 2, 09:36
        
        If I need someone to throw me a touchdown in the last minute, Cam is pretty far down my list. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:25
    - Hell, I'd take Big Ben, Luck, Newton, Stafford, Eli and probably RGIII -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:21 7
      - yeah, Ben for sure, and Luck. I am iffy on the others. - groiny Jan 2, 09:23
      - I forgot Ben and Stafford....I'd put Ben in the no doubt category and Stafford in the same tier with him and Flacco/Dalton. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:22 5
        
        Stafford's mechanics are such a mess that I wouldn't put him in the top 20. - David Jan 2, 09:24 4
        
        It's easy to say that, but even taking out the Megatron yardage, he's still a 3500yd passer - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:26 3
        
        That's the problem with empty passing yardage. It looks good on paper. - David Jan 2, 09:32
        
        how much of those 3500 yards are mop up yards when they are chasing the score in the final quarter? -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:27 1
        
        A solid amount, but even then, you have to make throws. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:31
    - Honestly, I'd put him in the 12-15 range - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:20 3
      - taking age out of the equation, based on this season and prior, no way RG3 belongs higher than Cutler. - groiny Jan 2, 09:22 2
        
        I'm not grading on just this year alone...I'm grading on quarterbacking talent - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:25 1
        
        conversations like this is when I wish the sports sites were not blocked for me. - groiny Jan 2, 09:29
  - That list is all over. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:15
Inigo, the Giants won that game mainly because Brandon Jacobs ran for 100+ yard for the first time in 3 seasons. - groiny Jan 2, 09:11 3
- My point there was that the Giants were a beaten down team when Cutler faced them. - Inigo Jan 2, 09:15 2
  - well, I do not understand what the Bears game had to do with the Giants then? - groiny Jan 2, 09:17 1
    - David brought up that McCown got to play the Vikings, Packers, Redskins and Cowboys. - Inigo Jan 2, 09:41

- You should be able to see this, I think... -- (link) - Jim Jan 2, 09:08 5
  - Nope, I can't see it. Thanks for trying! -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:15 4
    - Oh well. It's a Christmas pic. They have 3 little blonde girls...oldest born in 2009. Can you say, "hands full"? - Jim Jan 2, 09:19 3
      - Do they get appearance fees and such? -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:20 2
        
        I can't imagine she does, but I'm sure Rob does...though I'm not sure why. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:29 1
