      - you don't have Amazon Prime? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 09:23 1
        
        I do. I just meant when I finished season 3, season 4 wasn't out yet. I just haven't gotten back into it to watch seasons 4 & 5 yet. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 09:25

The Minnesota starvation experiment -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 20, 09:00 1

Remember that time Richard Sherman got punched in the face? -- (link) - Shaun Jan 20, 09:00 [youtube] 5

  - How does it feel being the NFC version of the Patriots? -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 09:09 3
    - surely you gest - we are much better than the Patriots - Pippy Jan 20, 09:23
    - I'm not sure what that means... Yes, it was a tough one, the throwing food at Bowman and Sherman stuff made it far worse. - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Jan 20, 09:13 1
      - Im some ways this year was a bit of a step back for you guys - eag Jan 20, 09:27
while I'm "generally" not a fan of wall paper, wouldn't this be cool in a "Ladies Room" at a cool - upscale restaurant? -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:40 7
- Hey, I saw your recipe for beef bourguignon on B2. Here's the one I use--and it only serves 6, not 60 and it's to die for. - trish Jan 20, 09:15
- yes -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:40 2
  - LOL ... you rascal -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:42 1
    - You have good taste so was not worried. - Spawn Jan 20, 08:43
- oops - forgot the link ... heh -- (link) - JenBro Jan 20, 08:40 2
  - cool -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:41 1
    - for some reason I just think "powder room" when I see it in the black/gold print -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 09:01
ST can I request good thoughts? My grandfather had a Dr. appointment this morning, he collpased and is en route to the hospital. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 08:29 19
- good healing thoughts -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 09:24
- Of course. -- nm - David Jan 20, 09:06
- done -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 20, 09:02

- And thanks all. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 08:53
- Done. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:44 1
  - Just got an update, and kelly may have some insight. Apparently a diabetic seizure? - MDH Jan 20, 08:53
- Done -- nm - eag Jan 20, 08:42
- done -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 08:38
- done -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:37
- done -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:31
- You have it. Did he make it to the appointment before it happened? -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:30 6
  - Yep, his normal appointment (he goes every few weeks or something?) and while seeing the Dr. he went down. - MDH Jan 20, 08:32 5
    - At least he was at the "right" place to have a problem. - Spawn Jan 20, 08:36 4
      - Exactly. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 08:39 3
        
        may I ask - how old is your Grandfather? -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:43 2
        
        85. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 08:53 1
        
        bless his heart ... you are so lucky to have him still with you - fingers crossed here -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:59
[deleted] 26
- see. he sounds like an intelligent person there. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:31 17
  - He's a shameless self-promoter....some of his stuff is really great; other stuff is amazingly obnoxious. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:37 11
    - [deleted] 6
      - Exactly. And as we know, nobody talks about D guys unless they somehow manage to draw attention to themselves. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:48 5
        
        with 3 quality recievers and one quality TE, Denver can pretty much take him off the field 90% of the time. - groiny Jan 20, 08:50 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Yeah, outscoring them beats them which is why I used the Colts game as the template here. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:54 2
        
        Im not even sure if the game will be close - eag Jan 20, 09:03 1
        
        I predicted their 10 point win this weekend. Was off by 3 for Seattle. - Spawn Jan 20, 09:05
    - I dont follow football as much as I use too but is he on par with like Revis - eag Jan 20, 08:41 3
      - He's in that conversation as best corner in football. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:44 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Right now, I'd take Sherman over Revis. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 09:01
  - [deleted] 2
    - I totally understand that, I just wish he was less Lil Jon about it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:39 1
      - *snort* -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 09:25
  - Graduated second in his HS class and got a degree from Stanford. He's no dummy -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 08:34
  - I think he does a good job of explaining himself and his actions -- nm - eag Jan 20, 08:33
- He has been writing for them all season. -- nm - David Jan 20, 08:27 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - I would not expect that most of the players slept much after those games. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:31 4
      - NFL A.M. (on the NFL network, natch) showed pics of downtown Seattle from early this morning. At 6am there were still a lot of peeps partying in the - trish Jan 20, 08:56 1
        
        Sweet! -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:57
      - he was up late donkey punching Erin Andrews. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:32 1
        
        Of all the things to do to Erin - eag Jan 20, 08:35
- Deadspin had some of the tweets directed at him...yikes -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:22
The Mrs. just put in her 2 weeks at her current job and will be going to work for a local animal shelter as their promotions - TWuG Jan 20, 08:03 6
- very cool ... although I be the station will miss her (what little you shared here - she was a top performer) - shelter is lucky to get her. -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:39
- Cool. Are you ready for her to bring her work home with her? -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:04 3
  - We've had that discussion and she is to assume my answer will always be "no, you may not bring home a new animal." - TWuG Jan 20, 08:14 2
    - Cool. I admire her. That is a job I know Amy or myself could not do. Very rewarding for the good she can do, but still with sadness. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:16 1
      - It's a no-kill shelter, but they do deal with the sick and injured that aren't as likely to be adopted. - TWuG Jan 20, 08:20
- Well congrats on the new job :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 08:04
New Archer tonight!! -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:54
[deleted] 6
- if you ask who looses....the answer is humanity...and noone wins -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 20, 09:05
- Sherman may be an ass, but he isn't off sucking dictator dick. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 08:15 2
  - good point -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 09:28
  - At least Rodman will sober up. - Spawn Jan 20, 08:16
- Rodman would flail around for 10 seconds then get winded. Take Sherman. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 07:49
- I found Rodman to be very entertaining, much less of a punk than Sherman. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:48
[deleted] 2
- So he was pacing for 115 and wound up with 134? - David Jan 20, 07:46
- Sounds a lot like the line on Rivers last week after Chris Harris went down. -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 07:42
I love Sherman. I'd also really love to know what Crabtree said to him in the offseason. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:41 23
- I almost expect him to be booked for Wrestlemania at this point. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 07:47
- [deleted] 18
  - Aaah, that is a new one to me. I thought he was talking about the "not the best in the game" comment - Bacon Jan 20, 07:45
  - Ahh. Thanks. I still love him. Crabtree punks him out hard at a charity event so he takes it personal. I'm fine with that. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:45 16
    - "according to Sherman's brother...." nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:46 14
      - Yup. - David Jan 20, 07:49 13
        
        he makes me long for Deion Sanders. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:50 12
        
        Usually his taunting is harmless (and hilarious) but he apparently holds a grudge pretty well. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:52 4
        
        I dunno man, he came off like a raving lunatic yesterday. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:54 2
        
        'Usually' -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:58 1
        
        the bigger the stage........ - groiny Jan 20, 07:59
        
        He spent the entire offseason whining because Roddy White humiliated him on the field. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:54
        
        Revis doesn't have to talk for people to notice him. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:51 6
        
        right, which is why he will never get noticed for anything but his mouth and antics. - groiny Jan 20, 07:55 5
        
        For better and for worse, he has made himself the face of the Super Bowl. There is a lot of money in that. -- nm - David Jan 20, 08:01 4
        
        the question is, is that really what he will want to be remembered for? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:02 3
        
        I guess we'll find out in 2 weeks. I assume he'll be 1-on-1 with Demaryius. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 08:03 2
        
        the best part of being a cornerback, is that if they never throw your receiver the ball - groiny Jan 20, 08:05 1
        
        Pretty sure the Seahawks would be fine with that in the SB. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 08:06
    - Crabtree is not an alter boy in this case for sure. Just time and place though. -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:46
- It's in that article linked on B2. It wasn't much for Sherman to go all ape shit over -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:42 2
  - and before someone says it. - Bacon Jan 20, 07:43 1
    - at this point if the Seahawks win, I expect him to go steal the MVP throphy right out of the hands of who ever they give it to -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 07:45
To a larger point, we can now say with certainty that Welker won and Belichick lost their break-up. - David Jan 20, 07:39 32
- Yep - Bacon Jan 20, 07:40 2
  - I was very surprised early in the season when I realized that Sherman is only in his 3rd year. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:48 1
    - it shows, he acts like a toddler -- nm - Pippy Jan 20, 09:32
- it really is mind boggling that the Patriots never brought in another receiver at any point. - groiny Jan 20, 07:40 12
  - They were the worst 12-4 team I have ever seen. - David Jan 20, 07:43
  - They brought in injury plagued Amendola -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:41 8
    - um, he was on the team last year. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:42 7
      - Nope..he was a Ram last year. They signed him after Welker left. -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 07:42 6
        
        huh, did not realize that. - groiny Jan 20, 07:43 5
        
        you might have mistaken him for the other Rams receiver they signed 2 years back (Brandon Lloyd) -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:49 2
        
        that is possible. - groiny Jan 20, 08:51 1
        
        definitely (they lost 6 of their top catchers from 2 years ago iirc) - Beaker Jan 20, 08:52
        
        Amendola has the potential to be every bit as good as Welker. Dude just can't stay healthy. - Jim Jan 20, 07:46 1
        
        those inside receivers have it rough. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:47
  - *waves* -- nm - Austin Collie Jan 20, 07:41 1
    - *gets concussed* -- nm - Collie Jan 20, 07:42
- [deleted]
- So, do we think the Pats will pay now? - Spawn Jan 20, 07:40 14
  - Either through the draft or FA they need 2 wideouts and a tight end -- nm - eag Jan 20, 07:42 13
    - I guess the point is that has been their formula for quite a while, now. It seems to be working less-and-less. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:46 9
      - They lost their best player on offense (non-QB) and their two best players on defense. - David Jan 20, 07:48 8
        
        I agree this has been his best job but the bottom line is, they are still failing to finish. - Spawn Jan 20, 07:58 7
        
        they also lost like 7 starters on their Defense as well -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:01
        
        well, they never needed to pay anyone other than Brady. - groiny Jan 20, 08:01
        
        look how high even you're setting the bar. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 08:00 2
        
        This is true, like Peyton did here. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 08:11 1
        
        I see what you did there. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 08:24
        
        I agree but then went 12-4 after one of their best players proved to be a serial killer. Not many teams could do that. -- nm - David Jan 20, 08:00 1
        
        Agreed, this year is not as easy to have the conversation. It has been ongoing and the question is, will we have it again next year? - Spawn Jan 20, 08:14
    - [deleted] 2
      - Austin Seferian-Jenkins! -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:45 1
        
        [deleted]
NJ Lt.-Gov. Kim Guadagno strongly denied today that Republican Gov Chris Christie's administration had tied Superstorm Sandy recovery funds to support -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 07:37 5
- If this keeps up, Christie is going to be too busy doing damage control to run for president. - TWuG Jan 20, 08:00 1
  - Maybe that's the point? -- nm - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Jan 20, 08:56
- I wonder if Christie has snipers pointed at his family. -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:39
- he strenuously objects? -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 07:38
- for a prime real estate project in Hoboken. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:37
