  - the Usual Suspects one is great -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:35 1

Bill Belichick said Wes Welker's hit on Aqib Talib was "a deliberate play to take out Aqib. I'll let the league handle the discipline." -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 07:19 7
- It was the exact type of play that the Patriots run all the time, so if it was dirty he is calling himself dirty. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:32
- Well, I was thinking yesterday...if I wanted to run a pick to take out the best DB, I think I'd use 5'9", 185lb guy with concussion issues. - Jim Jan 20, 07:29 3
  - There is also video of Edelman running a harder version of that play against Denver yesterday. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:30 2
    - Yep. Had Talib gotten up and gone back to the huddle, he'd never even have noticed it. - Jim Jan 20, 07:33
    - Ah, exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:32
- I've seen the replay about twenty times. It is not even close to dirty. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:25

A Guide To Richard Sherman, Your New Favorite NFL Player -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 07:15 2
- he's not my new favorite and if he's so brilliant, why can't he learn even the basics of sportsmanship? - Pippy Jan 20, 07:42
- it is a shame, because his mouth will keep him from ever getting the credit for being as good as he is. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:23
I can't even imagine. Some of the employees at NYC airports make $6.15/hour -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 07:14 2
- Plus whatever they find in your luggage. -- nm - Tom Brady Jan 20, 07:20 1
  - Sometimes I just don't get these joke nicks. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:21
very sad. Looks like, in the past two months 8 members of the Canadian Armed Forces have committed suicide -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 07:11
Its really starting to annoy me when people go in the Sunday Political morning shows, and those that support the NSA bulk - Under the Influence Jan 20, 07:11
so, yeah, they should never let that guy near a microphone ever again. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:11 8
- It is the exact opposite. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:23 2
  - they will, even though they should not. - groiny Jan 20, 07:34 1
    - It is but Sherman isn't what he wants people to think he is. - David Jan 20, 07:37
- On Media Day he will be the one everyone goes after. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:17 1
  - no doubt. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:23
- It was brilliant marketing. I am looking at Broncos Jerseys to purchase for the Superbowl. -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:14
- Erin Andrews looked a little scared and I bet she was wondering if he was mad at her a few times too -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:12 1
  - he is kind of what is wrong with sports nowadays. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:13
Any word on Bowman's leg? torn ACL seems to be the thinking based on what I'm reading -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:09
If anyone comes across a sale on Xbox Live could they please email me? Thanks! - Krusty Jan 20, 06:31 2
- [deleted] 1
  - Oh, yes. I'd prefer 12 months but I'll take less if it's the only sale available. - Krusty Jan 20, 06:39
Pete - and anyone else interested - here's that Beef Bourguinon Recipe - plus the creamy semolina side dish. - JenBro Jan 20, 06:28 1
- how big a family do you have? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 13:25
so ... there's a trick to Kale ... did others know about this? - JenBro Jan 20, 06:23
Ok, so I just saw the end of the NFC game. That was a great play, but it was a great play on a poorly thrown ball by a mediocre passer. - Jim Jan 20, 06:00 14
- CK exhausts himself with running. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 06:59 2
  - IMO - he looked rattled at several points throughout the game - Pippy Jan 20, 07:24 1
    - I just mean that some of his "bad" passes may be because he is simply a bit winded. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:28
- not sure who you are talking about - mistakes were made, 49'rs lost the game. end of story - Pippy Jan 20, 06:55 4
  - I can forgive Sherman's gusto, as I did TO's and Ochocinco's…part of the game. Although it was not a classy move -- nm - Flavorize Jan 20, 07:03
  - I'm saying that it was a poorly thrown pass and Sherman ought to get over himself and act like he's been there before. -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 07:01 2
    - heh - I agree. -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 07:10
    - DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM!!!!!! -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 07:07
- I had to laugh when Aikman pointed out that one of his"great" throws was exactly the same play that for him intercepted. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 06:21
- Sherman made a great play. Seahawks have a good D, but broncos have too many weapons. Sure, Sherman will shut down his guy, but Welker, or Decker, - Flavorize Jan 20, 06:11 2
  - Pretty much. Can't wait to see Sherman try to stop that TD pass to Julius Thomas... - Jim Jan 20, 06:16 1
    - Yep, exactly. He's one guy. They do have a pretty good front seven, but the Broncos have 5+ guys who scored 10 TDs…too many weapons. Give Denver 2 - Flavorize Jan 20, 06:21
- [deleted]
- don't make me come visit you... -- nm - Richard Sherman Jan 20, 06:01

Early Super Bowl pick: Seattle or Denver who ya got? -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 05:28 11
- Denver. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:22
- Denver. The game will look a lot like it did when the Colts beat them. - Spawn Jan 20, 07:00
- [deleted]
- Bruno Mars - Pippy Jan 20, 06:57
- Denver -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 06:40
- Go Broncos! -- nm - @babybean1128 Jan 20, 06:28
- Denver. Seattle will be too star struck, and Peyton is a veteran. - JaxSean Jan 20, 06:11
- Denver. duh -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 06:00
- the line started at Seattle -2 to a pick 'em; then people started betting Denver hard, now it is around Denver -2 -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 05:52 1
  - Seattle had a tough game, Denver made it look easy, the swing had to happen. Wilson's inexperience will hurt them in the SB. Broncos win -- nm - Flavorize Jan 20, 05:56
- goota go with Seattle -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 05:28
Thanks for the bday wishes yesterday. -- nm - Truman Jan 20, 03:50 2

Was there just a tie at the PGA -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 21:58 3
- Yes there was. And 12 Years will win the Oscar. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 22:03 2
  - There's still hope for Gravity after all!! (FYI for the rest. Gravity and 12 Years just tied at the PGA). -- nm - Buzz Jan 20, 03:02 1
    - It pretty much needed American Hustle to win the SAG to keep 12 Years a Slave from running away with it. - Jelly Jan 20, 04:20
*seeks comfort in Gisele's vagina* - Tom Brady Jan 19, 21:47 3
- I wonder if she asked her friends to pray for Tom this year? -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 21:51 2
  - She should be asking her friends to pray for her vagina. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Jan 19, 23:20 1
    - I would pray TO her vagina. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:10
Hmm, a friend I recently met wants to introduce me to her single friend but she keeps insisting it be a group outing. - James Bond (on phone) Jan 19, 21:45 14
- My guess is that you aren't the first one she's tried to fix her friend up with and the friend won't go. -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 05:08 2
  - Yep. People hate being set-up -- nm - Flavorize Jan 20, 05:57
  - this. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 05:29
- It feels like my friend wants it be a surprise for her friend. -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jan 19, 21:50
- She wants to pretend like she's not setting you up. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 21:48 1
  - Yeah, which i think is dumb. Just ask her, if she is down then i can contract her and set things up. -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jan 19, 21:51
- when she says group outing, does she mean two-on-one? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 21:48 1
  - That's (French) officer thinking there. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 21:48
- meet and then turn into a one on one thing if it works out -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 21:47
- Uhm, that is kind of creepy. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 21:46 4
  - Why? The friend may be shy. Or wary of a blind date. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 23:29 1
    - Uh, Igor's response is creepy. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:01
  - I really must insist your single friend meets me in the alley behind the pizzeria. Say, at 11 PM. *Alone.* -- nm - James Bond s.i. Jan 19, 21:51 1
    - "Tell no one of this." -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 22:12
I didn't expect to laugh this hard during the first 25 minutes of "Sherlock." -- nm - Under the Influence Jan 19, 21:36 1
- wait till episode 2. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 21:42
I need to decide if I should spend my evening implementing a haversine proximity search function in MySQL while watching the a-team, or building a CLI - Beryllium Jan 19, 21:35 4
- You should do the flim flam in the zim zoom with the whozawhazit. -- nm - JaxSean, doing his best Bill Cosby impersonation Jan 19, 21:47 1
  - From what I can tell, a Haversine search allows you to compare lat/long coordinates whilst taking into account the curvature of the earth -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 21:48
- watching dumb stuff while trying to do smart stuff is counter productive -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 21:43 1
  - Right, that's why I plan to watch The A-Team. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 21:47
I'm not into baking, but I just found out this exists -- (link) - con_carne Jan 19, 20:20 13
- They're awesome. The chewy edges are the best part of a brownie. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 20:32 6
  - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 21:09 5
    - So long as it's chocolaty I'll take whatever comes. That's why I only make them for a group.... - Meg Jan 19, 21:15 4
      - I freeze them in small groups after I make a batch -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 21:30 3
        
        I do that with muffins - I have the willpower to just eat one for breakfast...not sure about brownies :) -- nm - Meg Jan 19, 21:32 2
        
        what fun is all those diet meals without a splurge occasionally? it's not like you will eat half of them in 1 sitting -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 21:34 1
        
        But you see I might...I splurge but they're controlled splurges. -- nm - Meg Jan 19, 21:40
- That's the exact opposite of what I want from a brownie pan. Give me one that ensures no edges. -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 20:22 5
  - But then there would be no two-bite brownies -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 20:38
  - Exactly. I usually cut off the chewy edge so it's all "middle". -- nm - kelly Jan 19, 20:26 3
    - That's the advantage of making brownies for a group...somebody there will always like something in the box. - Meg Jan 19, 20:32 2
      - I am team Kelly. give me an 8x8 or 13x9x2 any day for less edges & more middel -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 21:29 1
        
        middel??? arrrggghhhh :( -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 21:31
Since I have the DVD here from Netflix anyway, I'm putting in Elysium now, but based on ST reaction I'm putting it on a short leash. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 19:52 4
- I liked it OK. - Reagen Jan 19, 19:54 3
  - It hasn't been a great movie weekend with clearing out the Netflix DVDs I've had for a while and Oscar nominee completionism. - Dano Jan 19, 20:00 2
    - The 2nd hobbit, while better than the first, was frustrating…should've been just 2 movies…SOOO bloated -- nm - Flavorize Jan 19, 23:03
    - There's a good likelihood I'll get all the Oscar categories completed other than Foreign Film and Song before the Awards - Dano Jan 19, 20:08
Argh, fasting blood draw in the morning...I'm already hungry :( - Meg Jan 19, 19:52 4
- Eat a while pizza -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 19:57 3
  - while (pizza) { eat(); } -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:59
  - whole pizza -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 19:58 1
    - Too late....just had my dessert an hour early and that's it :/ - Meg Jan 19, 20:00
I've never been a bigger Manning and Broncos fan than right now... - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Jan 19, 19:47 2
- I may not watch. - Epiphany Jan 19, 19:58 1
  - Two teams that have not been since '99 and '06? Yeah, Denver has been there a bunch of times but at least it has been a while. That is a good game. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 21:50
when eagles attack ... peter jackson edition -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:42 6

  - People are starting to defend him on twitter ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 19, 19:55 4
    - I just love him. Harbaugh coached him at Stanford and bad-mouthed him before the draft. I don't begrudge Sherman's hateyboner toward him or any team - trish Jan 19, 20:22 1
      - Or, conversely, this is exactly what Harbaugh saw from him... - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Jan 19, 20:24
    - Haha! -- nm - @babybean1128 Jan 19, 20:07
    - heh -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 19:56
So wait, crash could win Blood Feud *and* the Super Bowl? - Spawn Jan 19, 19:34 2
- After the hellayear we just went through, I'm glad he's getting some joy in his life. - trish Jan 19, 20:07 1
  - Exactly! -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 21:09
