      - I don't know how this works, but could help with state of emergency / relief funds becoming available? - ty97 Aug 25, 08:36 1
        
        who knows, I have not heard anything yet, and am keeping up on the events, nm -- nm - groiny Aug 25, 08:37
  - I wish I had 12, that would have been fantastic. - groiny Aug 25, 08:32 2
    - I saw the IM on FB. I just......don't even know where to start. - ty97 Aug 25, 08:32 1
      - the police were going door to door asking if anyone saw or heard anything helpful. - groiny Aug 25, 08:34
- 1.25 -- nm - decline Aug 25, 08:31 2
  - pretty good guess. 1. I am trying really hard not to leave them nasty messages. - groiny Aug 25, 08:33 1
    - that sucks. I've had it happen to me before. -- nm - decline Aug 25, 08:34

"Wait, dumbening isn't even a word!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:07
*prepares to bask in new 5 channel TSN world* ... 4 channels of tennis?! -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:06 15
- There isn't enough programming available for the channels we have now in Canada. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 25, 08:24 3
  - heard an interview on the radio with the main guy and he mentioned Sportsdesk, talk, and reality shows taking up a bunch of the hours. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:28
  - With what Rogers is planning with hockey, there's still lots to go around. Raptors will get onto only TSN or Sportsnet branded channels too. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:26 1
    - Like that's what Canadians need, more Hockey. I canceled TSN 2 because I hardly ever watched it, About the only thing I really missed was - Under the Influence Aug 25, 23:38
- Next up on TSN5....the Table Top Tennis Invitational from Rochester, followed by the Canadian National Euchre Championship live from Moncton. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 08:22
- Winnipeg is ecstatic about the change. TSN dropped TSN Jets ($10/month) for TSN 3 which will become part of the basic package. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:08 9
  - Oh yeah, I'm sure this will pay off eventually, and I presume this is sort of a soft launch -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:10 8
    - I've been watching the business story around MLSE lately with the new guy already leaving. Sounds like the Bell/Rogers shotgun marriage will end in... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:15 7
      - Rogers doesn't feel like the underdog in this area. I guess they didn't expect the City/NHL deal when that agreement was made. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:26 6
        
        I've been watching Rogers grow their sports branding for almost a decade. The big push came in 2010 though. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:29 5
        
        Rogers is the company that basically patented the idea of "you'll pay more for less and like it!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:33 2
        
        Well, it's not like Bell has been any great shakes either. And Roger's content *has* improved. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:37
        
        but here are some extra places on the dial for the Shopping Channel for you! -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:37
        
        TSN must be grateful that SN did the multi-channels first since they got roped into making them regional. The TSN channels are all national. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:31 1
        
        My understanding is that they are nominally regional. (TSN3 is said to be for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Territories.) But in today's cable age... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:33

    - *whew* Then at least we know it will be irrelevant in five years -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 08:04

ML's FF League, A game of fire and ice. Last night went to bed with players I didn't draft. Now I still have those players, but also have the entire - Bacon Aug 25, 07:27 25
- [deleted] 24
  - Why though? I just checked. The bottom players at everyone's roster are the players they drafted. - Bacon Aug 25, 07:32 23
    - ALSO, if you look at draft results? It has the entire draft and how it happened. It's 100% accurate in my case -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:34 22
      - Linky -- (link) - Bacon Aug 25, 07:34 21
        
        Oh shit. Nevermind. Some players are wrong there. -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:35 20
        
        But as I said earlier. If you look at the bottom half of your roster. Player for player they are all there. - Bacon Aug 25, 07:36 19
        
        Did I actually take Carson Palmer? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 25, 07:41 4
        
        Well, you probably shouldn't have had a bid value on him then. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 08:16

        And I can't post there. The reply page won't come up. Say's page is down -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:40 9
        
        I just did. Try again? -- nm - Spawn Aug 25, 07:42 8
        
        Can you verify that the bottom 16 players on your bench are the players you drafted? -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:43 6
        
        It is almost perfect, but not quite. K and D went to their areas. - Spawn Aug 25, 07:50 5
        
        Aaah thx. Okay so there is enough wrong to screw it up. Mine were 100% accurate. - Bacon Aug 25, 07:52 4
        
        Thx for checking Spawn -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:53 3
        
        Yeah, I was pretty happy. And then I started thinking, "Mike Tolbert!?!" - Spawn Aug 25, 07:56 2
        
        I found out why that happened. Because a couple of players ended up slotted in their position slots. - Bacon Aug 25, 07:59 1
        
        Whoa, you are right. Forte is up there and not listed below. -- nm - Spawn Aug 25, 08:29
        
        Okay checking -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:42
        
        We don't need to recreate it is what I am saying. The players are all listed on everyone's team. Just in the bench section. -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:39
        
        Trish's are correct too. As I was paying attention to her draft. -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:38 1
        
        Crash's are correct as well. Start and Marshawn Lynch and move south and they are all there -- nm - Bacon Aug 25, 07:39
