  - I mean one year and 8 months between adjusts -- nm - CQ Sep 8, 20:44 4
    - I'm completely wrong here on the movies, but right in my idea. It's been a long time since adjusts from Kill to What if -- nm - CQ Sep 8, 20:46 3
      - But he still seems to be looking at about a $50 adjust. I reviewed my bonds yesterday and his price looked okay so I don't get it either. - Meg Sep 8, 20:52 2

      - It's such a wild thing to imagine. Was he bitter about it? -- nm - Reagen Sep 8, 20:04 1
        
        He didn't seem so. She never mentioned the father and I know he wondered about one particular guy he thought it might have been. - Dano Sep 8, 20:42

  - The Flash looks awesome - Jovian Sep 8, 19:49 1
    - Both shows, I have yet to read a bad review for. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 19:59
- SHIELD, POI ... not sure what else -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 19:22

- Food services? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 19:05
- Making the league a crap ton of money? -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 19:05 2
  - I'd argue the NFL makes money regardless of who's in charge. Shit, the Cowboys and Redskins are two of the most profitable teams in the league - Will Hunting Sep 8, 19:12
  - And by that measure, he's a spectacular commissioner. There's little reason for the owners to boot him. -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 19:08
NFC East is not very good. I think -- nm - Bacon Sep 8, 19:04
It doesn't help that this is involving "my" team but I will say that I'm less interested in the NFL these days. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 19:03 1
