    - And that's the way Reed Hastings likes it. -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 2, 10:56 1
      - I heard on kcrw's the treatment over break that NF is responsible for 31.6% of all down web traffic in the US. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 11:05
    - I'm still paying for the 3-at-a-time plan, though don't take advantage of it nearly enough. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 2, 10:55 2
      - You really should just buy UV codes. It's roughly the same price and you own the titles that way. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:57 1
        
        this reminds me: I want a UV code for the new fast & furious movie if anyone sees one inexp-ish. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 10:58
    - Wait, this isn't for streaming? -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:53

        Yes. Netflix only reports disc rentals. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 10:56 2
        
        In that case, Identity Thief and The Heat. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:58

    - as much as I enjoy the jokes - let's not do this. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 10:49
okay, so ... to keep the discussion going (maybe) ... this ST short story thing needs to happen. I have enough fodder for story-writing as it is, but - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 2, 10:35
dear Prudence - My Daughter Is In Love w/My Son's Boyfriend (help!) - Diva Jan 2, 10:34 12
- The daughter knows: Also this letter has to be fake. - ty97 Jan 2, 10:57
- if you're going to fake a name, why spell it stupidly? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Jan 2, 10:52
- talk to Robbie, tell him you know and support him but go over house rules. as for your daughter and wife, say nothing right now. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 10:49
- *punches her in the mouth for the spelling of her daughters name* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:48 4
  - I think that's the spelling used in the Bible. Also *his* mouth. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 10:50 1
    - is there a Robbie in the Bible? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:54
  - [deleted] 1
    - *punches you in the mouth* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:51
- it doesn't sound like she is in love with him at all based on the letter... -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 10:42 3
  - She's only pretending to be into the guy to give him an excuse to come over and bang her brother. -- nm - znufrii Jan 2, 10:58 1
    - yeah -- nm - pippy bells Jan 2, 11:10
  - yeah, that seems to not be the actual issue. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 10:54
Brandin Cooks has announced his eligibility. Any thoughts? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:31
It's refreshing to hear about a principled football player for a change, instead of locker room fights, drugs, PEDs and other nonsense. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:30 2
- [deleted] 1
  - Gotta choose sides in the Drake/Chris Brown kerfuffle. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:32
FWIW, I was a huge supporter of Wilson heading into the draft. Johnny Football is too small for the NFL. - David Jan 2, 10:28 15
- It'll really depend on his actual height, I think. If he really is 5' 10" or below, I don't think he can be a legitimate NFL QB. - Inigo Jan 2, 10:31 13
  - if someone has skill, two inches won't make a difference. - zork Jan 2, 10:33 9
    - As good as Flutie was, he had to deal with height issue constantly. - Inigo Jan 2, 10:39 1
      - and especially so if you are talking about drafting him early. - groiny Jan 2, 10:40
    - How long ago did Flutie last play? - groiny Jan 2, 10:37 6
      - I don't worry about passes being blocked anywhere near as much as I worry about the beating he will take. - David Jan 2, 10:39 5
        
        It's real hard to say what he's going to do...because for every negative about him, you can come up with a positive. - Jim Jan 2, 10:43 1
        
        I absolutely believe in his talent. He's like Bugs Bunny out there. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:52
        
        if a guy can move, he won't be blocked often at all. -- nm - zork Jan 2, 10:41 2
        
        Vick can move better than Flutie and is bigger than Flutie. He still has been crushed and thereby often injured. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:46
        
        I will say, if there is a time for him to succeed in the NFL, now is that time. - groiny Jan 2, 10:43
  - One of the Sports Center guys mentioned while they were marking out over the game... - David Jan 2, 10:33 2
    - My brother swears that Ray Lewis is around 5' 10". - Inigo Jan 2, 10:48 1
      - for sure, they do not need to throw over behemoths to succeed. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:48
- But his name is Johnny *FOOTBALL*! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 2, 10:31
About Clowney...I would bet that if the Rams can't get a good enough package for #2, they'll seriously consider him. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 10:26 10
- I just don't see how the Rams can take Clowney over Matthews. - David Jan 2, 10:29 3
  - There's been a lot of Matthews talk as well, the Rams OL was beat to shit this year. - Jim Jan 2, 10:34 1
    - And every year. -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 10:35
  - (although I think that Atlanta most likely deals up to #2 to take Clowney.) -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:30
- [deleted] 5
  - Robert Quinn appears to be the real deal...so Clowney and Quinn out there... - Jim Jan 2, 10:32 2
    - Ha Ha at #13! Yes, I already have the draft order memorized. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:33 1
      - Oh I know the draft picks as well...it's all the sports talk guys here can talk about. - Jim Jan 2, 10:41
  - I see Clowney as more of a 3-4 OLB than a hand on the ground DE. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:31
  - [deleted]
[deleted] 6
- His interceptions last night were of the "Which team does he think he's on?" variety. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:24 1
  - [deleted]
- And James. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:23 3
  - and Burkes - zork Jan 2, 10:32 2
    - and shire - auld lang zeitgeist Jan 2, 10:42 1
      - Shire! Baggins! -- nm - Gollum si Jan 2, 10:43
