ok, so what do I need to know about Sammy Watkins? -- nm - Diva May 9, 07:40 4
- [deleted]
- Thx guys! Good stuff to hear! -- nm - Diva May 9, 07:43
- He is considered to be as good as AJ Green and Julio Jones although I personally like Mike Evans more. -- nm - David May 9, 07:41
- Awesome WR. Downgraded a little due to your QB, but should still be great. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 9, 07:40
Update: so.. apparently we don't own the place yet.. - colin May 9, 07:39 1

- Honestly, it depends on the quarterback. -- nm - David May 9, 07:39
- Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Brockers, Ogletree, Bailey, Stacy, Robinson and even Jenkins have a chance to be impact players. - Jim May 9, 07:35 8
  - Donald is a player I coveted. He is as quick off the snap as any college player I've ever seen. -- nm - David May 9, 07:38 5

        I saw Zim describe him as the second best pass rusher in the draft. So that is clearly his guy. -- nm - David May 9, 07:44 1

    - Well, the Broncos got the CB they desperately need. I know there's a lot of crying in Denver that we didn't take Lee at WR. But I'm good with the CB - Jim May 9, 07:42

  - It still hasn't arrived? Ok. I'll check in again. - kelly May 9, 07:36 3
    - no worries. I've chalked it up as a 'not gonna happen'. -- nm - Diva May 9, 07:37 2
      - Maybe. - kelly May 9, 07:40 1
        
        at this point and because this is not easy for him, please don't bother. it's not that deep and I know he tried. - Diva May 9, 07:42

  - It's damn effective at getting me to imagine you all grew up in the same house. "Childhood home." -- nm - con_carne May 9, 07:43
  - We should form a club. - Spawn Lord May 9, 07:40
- 0-12 in my childhood home. Current home is approaching that length. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 9, 07:34
- 12 years in my childhood home. -- nm - Kim Hollis May 9, 07:34

- sure, why not? :) - Diva May 9, 07:32

I have always wondered about this random car wash near Staples Center -- (link) - con_carne May 9, 07:17 2

We had our pre-Cannes press launch this morning, announced a new film with Dame Maggie. Also doing that Sir Ian Sherlock Holmes film. -- (link) - LMS May 9, 07:09 12
- nice! congrats. -- nm - Remlik May 9, 07:17
- the name Cush Jumbo really gives you the wrong associations -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk May 9, 07:14
- Nice! Looking forward to that Sherlock film. - Krusty May 9, 07:13 8
  - Currently filming in Montreal. -- nm - LMS May 9, 07:19 5
    - i want more "endeavor" and "foyles war" -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk May 9, 07:21 3
      - Both made by ITV, Endeavour should be coming back, recent series was great, Foyle definitely is. -- nm - LMS May 9, 07:23 2
        
        mmm more Honeysuckle :) - DaneDukeNuuk May 9, 07:25 1

David, are you think pass rushers for Atlanta, now that the top safetys are all gone? - Strongbad May 9, 07:09 3
- Assuming there is no truth to the Eric Berry thing, yes. -- nm - David May 9, 07:11 2
  - My homerism is hoping for Sneezy or Tuitt - Strongbad May 9, 07:14 1
    - Personally, I hope they move back to 50 and pick up another third. - David May 9, 07:15
Speaking of which, here's something that depresses me about Game of Thrones (no spoils) - prayformojo May 9, 07:06 1
- heh. yes. we were just talking about this at work. -- nm - Jovian May 9, 07:06
I usually overlook stuff like this, but a reason I could never get into Trophy Wife was - prayformojo May 9, 07:02 30
- it was probably the best (or 2nd best) new sitcom of the season -- nm - Jovian May 9, 07:04 23
  - What was 1 or 2? - prayformojo May 9, 07:05 22
    - Goldbergs the Trophy Wife then Crazy Ones then Brooklyn 99. It was a great year for sitcoms. -- nm - David May 9, 07:13 8
      - I loved Brooklyn 99 by the end; far more than the Crazy Ones I saw.... -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 07:18
      - Goldbergs is funny? It's gets the David seal of approval? - Krusty May 9, 07:15 6
        
        It is hilarious, and you don't have to be a child of the '80s to enjoy it. - IrishStephen May 9, 07:43
        
        It stumbled a little out of the gate (imho) but it has been consistantly hilarious every week. -- nm - Jovian May 9, 07:17
        
        It's fantastic. -- nm - Kim Pine May 9, 07:16 1
        
        The past few weeks have been absolutely awesome. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:18
        
        Goldbergs is shockingly hilarious. Kim loves it like Archer. - David May 9, 07:16 1
        
        Really? That's some endorsement. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 07:17
    - B99 has been my favorite new show. It just got better and better. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 07:10
    - SHIELD -- nm - Spawn Lord May 9, 07:07 1
      - Sitcom? Yeah, Ward was really killing it last week. He had Garrett's sides splitting. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 07:45
    - The Goldbergs. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:06 7
      - note that of the three mentioned, TW was easily the most accessible. I have no idea how ABC managed to kill it. (also, about a boy and GUF are quite - the mystifying virtuoso May 9, 07:09 6
        
        Honestly it's the scheduling. ABC thought SHIELD was a guarateed lead in. It killed Trophy Wife (Lucky 7 didn't help), and nearly killed Goldbergs. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:14
        
        they killed it via scheduling. Instead of the dreadful Super Fun Night in the pimp slot (following MF), it should have been Trophy Wife - Jovian May 9, 07:12 4
        
        *Looks up, high fives you*. Also WTF were they thinking with SFN. Rebel Wilson expressed no interest in a second season. Why give it that slot!? -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:15 1
        
        I didnt understand it when it was just a pilot. Didnt understand when they ordered it to series. And reallly didnt understand when they scheduled it. - Jovian May 9, 07:19
        
        is SFN axed yet? -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 9, 07:13 1
        
        not officially yet. -- nm - Jovian May 9, 07:13
    - The Goldbergs. B99 comes up third. - Jovian May 9, 07:06 1
      - There's something about this thread I'm not following -- nm - con_carne May 9, 07:21
- Looks like I can safely delete it now. - spamlet May 9, 07:03 5
  - Unstuck -- nm - David May 9, 07:12 3
    - Which is autocorrect's way of saying usuck. -- nm - David May 9, 07:12 2
      - I didn't want to get hurt again and made the right decision. -- nm - spamlet May 9, 07:14 1
        
        The season works as a standalone. And it has Malin Akerman. - David May 9, 07:15
  - Looks like I can be glad I never even recorded it now. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 9, 07:05
Can you wash a pillow? I was sweating all night. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 07:01 2
- I wash them. sorry to hear your not well. (get better soon!) -- nm - Diva May 9, 07:02 1
  - I went to Google and if I do two at a time it'll work. Thanks, I'm feeling better than yesterday. Came on quickly and seems to be leaving just as - Krusty May 9, 07:04
Let Mel know that Indira Varma smells like strawberries and sunshine. - LMS May 9, 07:00 7
- she ruined Human Target a little. I haven't quite forgiven her totally for that. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:34 1
  - If I had a billion dollars, several TV shows would be getting movies -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 07:47
- Did you kill her any? -- nm - David May 9, 07:11 3
  - If this is a GOT reference, I haven't seen the new series yet. -- nm - LMS May 9, 07:24 2
    - It's a Torchwood reference. -- nm - Kim Pine May 9, 07:27 1
      - Of course, I didn't have my resurrection glove with me. -- nm - LMS May 9, 07:32
- I would have begged Elaria Sand for a selfie with me.. - Jovian May 9, 07:05
Spamlet - Capstern May 9, 06:55 7
- Where does the $400 come from? Is that an internal accounting policy? -- nm - spamlet May 9, 06:57 6
  - An old memory and an old class - I think it would be able to be written off under section 179 -- nm - Capstern May 9, 06:59 5
    - That's for tax, not for accounting. Two different things. - spamlet May 9, 07:02 4
      - Crap. Well ultimately - Capstern May 9, 07:09 3
        
        don't you have finance people at work? I mean, I could build you a model but it sounds like something that would be policy-driven, not - the mystifying virtuoso May 9, 07:11 2
        
        additionally we are a 20M or so department for multibillion dollar company I would like as much control as I can muster -- nm - Capstern May 9, 07:16
        
        I am trying to build the proper recommendation for my boss to take to finance - Capstern May 9, 07:15
Im sure the actor who plays Burt will get picked up by some other new show. That kid is too cute not to. -- nm - Jovian May 9, 06:55
Krusty, I agree, when I notice confused tourists on weekends, I try to help them out with what's going on. -- nm - Cartographo May 9, 06:55 11
- My office is right between 3 hotels. I would say 75% of the time I help a tourist with directions, they are looking for Macy's. -- nm - MDH May 9, 06:58 3
  - "Do you not have Macy's where you come from?" - Cartographo May 9, 07:05 2
    - It happens so much that when I tell them "x blocks this way, on the left." They go "are you sure? that was petty quick." SIGH. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:07 1
      - Give them the fight club snowflake speech -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 07:38
- I feel bad if I know they're confused and stressing their trip. I get confused sometimes so I can't imagine how stressful it could be for - Krusty May 9, 06:57 2
  - Announcements saying things like "The E is running on the F" don't exactly help. -- nm - Cartographo May 9, 06:58 1
    - Ha! So true. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 06:59
- do you give them... a map? -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 9, 06:56 3
  - Often they can't really read the map well and it's useless on weekends when the trains are rerouted or not running. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 06:58 1
    - And now I get the joke. I'm home sick and slow. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 06:58
  - ha! -- nm - Cartographo May 9, 06:57
FYI: Here's the gay agenda if anyone wants to know... -- (link) - MDH May 9, 06:54 [Image] 4
- heh -- nm - pippy bells May 9, 07:00
- Haha! -- nm - Krusty May 9, 06:56
- I wonder how many people take that seriously? -- nm - Cartographo May 9, 06:55
- Wow. Only 15 minutes? She must be really good! -- nm - TWuG May 9, 06:55
Word. -- nm - Jim May 9, 06:52 1
