Question I should have figured out earlier: Are the TIFF theaters all near each other? -- nm - ty97 Aug 27, 10:32 3

  - I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to fast food, but gosh darn does a McD's burger taste great sometimes -- nm - CQ Aug 27, 10:02
  - We line up completely on this. Whatever tastes good is by definition good food. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:53 7
    - [deleted]
    - I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "good food", but it certainly doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 09:58 5

- I have to say I am surprised that no deal was brokered. - David Aug 27, 09:43 9
  - I'm reading he's likely to sue now. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:50
  - Yeah, this makes no sense. - Spawn Aug 27, 09:45 7
    - I mean, it's true that Ray Rice just got 2 games for being a terrible husband rather than an addict. - David Aug 27, 09:47 6
      - He did pass 70 drug tests outside this failed one. I don't think his situation is as dire as some are making it to be. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 10:55
      - In a way, this could end up being the true jolt that the players need. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:49 4
        
        It's more likely to be the rift that causes a strike/lockout down the line. - David Aug 27, 09:51 3
        
        I actually think it leads to a change next year. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 10:29
        
        I have no issue with contracts being guaranteed if an injury is concerned. If you are a dope smoking toolbox? Fuck no. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:54 1
        
        Exactly. But it's difficult to get both parties to agree to one without the other. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:55
- That sucks that it took this long as a calendar year hurts takes his preseason next year, too. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:39 4

re: Spawn: I might not even have a playable RB, depending on Ridley's situation. It's a dire situation and I expect to have a high pick next year. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:26 4
- Message JFields and see if we can do a last minute trade? - Spawn Aug 27, 09:36 3
  - Nope. I'm going to tough it out and build this team to my liking, essentially from scratch. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:40 2
    - Sadly, I didn't have my usual trade chips this season. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 10:05
