- Based on the local radio here in Ottawa only about 1000 people were actually there. -- nm - ajrimmer Oct 14, 10:14
- They were talking about this on local sports radio this morning, and blaming it some on Ottawa being the visiting team and not a draw - Reagen Oct 14, 10:03 3
  - plus don't they also argue that Canadians down in Florida would drive up their attendance? can't have it both ways -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 10:13 2
    - Only the Leafs and Canadiens matter. Even people in Ottawa really don`t want to watch the Sens. -- nm - ajrimmer Oct 14, 10:15
    - From what I'm lead to understand, the location of the arena is total nowheresville. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:14

NFL teams that want to host future Super Bowls will need to play a "home" game in London -- (link) - znufrii Oct 14, 09:42 15
- Meanwhile, the 2nd largest city in the US doesn't have a team. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 09:48 4
  - But But they will have one within 12-24 months! - amoxy Oct 14, 10:03
  - yet they still manage to sell out Wembly. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 10:01
  - Neither does the first. :-) - Krusty Oct 14, 09:49 1
    - And I agree with your IM. I'm not a fan of this football in Europe idea. - Krusty Oct 14, 09:50
- That is sort of evil. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:44
- Just get the feeling London getting a team is near. -- nm - budice Oct 14, 09:44 8
  - I think that would be a mistake. Cirque du soleil would fill out the stadium just as easily. It's more a novelty at the moment. Am football on every - Loyola Oct 14, 10:14 3
    - London metro is 13M people. I have to think you could find 60k a week out of that. - Reagen Oct 14, 10:18 2
      - Plus the rest of the UK is like 5 minutes from London, right? -- nm - spamlet Oct 14, 10:28
      - Fair point. Baseball imo is a much better game, but that hasn't crossed the water either. We'll see. -- nm - Loyola Oct 14, 10:26
  - The formula needs to be... - Spawn Oct 14, 09:46 3
    - I think that's similar to how they do it for the Super 15 in rugby union, which involves teams from Australia, NZ and South Africa - Roger More Oct 14, 10:13
    - Makes too much sense. I agree completely. Even just about the Bye week/Thursday game. -- nm - volnelk Oct 14, 09:49
    - That's entirely too reasonable. It has no chance of happening. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 09:48
We are so far behind on tv shows already, it's not even funny. So far, Castle is the only one we're current on. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 09:41 1
- Oh, we have tried two new half-hour comedies though, Mulaney and A to Z. Mulaney was lame, but I'm like A to Z quite a bit so far. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 09:42
short movie for Spawn and Will.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 14, 09:40 [vimeo] 1
- Saw that when our friend tweeted it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:41
former Colt Pat Angerer retires... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 14, 09:28 1
- Much angerer in him. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:31
so, today is Borderlands day? - groiny Oct 14, 09:25 4
- I have too much good tv to watch tonight, so tomorrow it is. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:27 3
  - I'll pick it up when they release the definitive version on next-gen. -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 09:33 2
    - It struck me as odd that this isn't on XB1 or PS4. -- nm - Tim Oct 14, 09:39 1
      - I *love* it for that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:40
I'm caught up on all my the shows except Gracepoint, which I haven't started and this spring's R&R Hall of Fame Induction concert. -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 09:24 3

Speaking of TV. It seems like we've gone quite a while into the season this year without seeing a show axed. Am I just misremembering or are the - oblique Oct 14, 09:15 16
- Mulaney is a Dead Show Walking. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:04 4
  - I haven't seen the show but the previews are major head scratcher - amoxy Oct 14, 10:08 3
    - I didn't know this had already started. His type of comedy is not for everyone -- nm - Epiphany Oct 14, 10:13 1
      - He's a great standup. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 10:18
    - They're trying to model his standup to an irony-free sitcom - Reagen Oct 14, 10:13
- I was expecting Mysteries of Laura first, then blackish by now. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 09:28 5
  - oh, i actually have seen Blackish. i didn't hate it. i didn't love it, but it is better than a lot of other stuff. -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 09:28 4
    - The second episode was quite funny (the sex talk) but I'm still not sure I'm going to keep watching. - David Oct 14, 09:34 1
      - the role of the parents are not written well. I think they were going for Modern Family type quirky and failed. - Epiphany Oct 14, 09:40
    - I like Anthony Anderson but given how fast his dads show failed last year, I was betting on historical performance. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 09:30
    - It's already gotten its full-season order. -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 09:29
- very true. i haven't seen one story of "XXXX cancelled after only 3 shows!" -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 09:21 2
  - I remember quite a few last year that didn't last past one :) -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 09:22 1
    - I don't know how you COULD do that these days. I feel like E2 has already aired by the time you've figured out how many people have watched the first one... -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 09:27
- Nielsen probably told the networks all their shows were getting 10 million viewers. -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 09:20
- Combination of things.... - budice Oct 14, 09:18
Bill Simmons just put out an instagram picture that his NBA preview with Jalen Rose will be released tonight at 12:01 am ET. Suspension must end then -- nm - volnelk Oct 14, 09:13 7
- Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:32 3
  - I don't get the dislike for something that is completely avoidable. I don't like Bill O'Reilly so I don't watch or listen to him. -- nm - volnelk Oct 14, 09:41 2
    - "I don't get the dislike... I don't like..." -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:42 1
      - My point is that if someone posted something about Bill O'Reilly, I would just not comment. - volnelk Oct 14, 09:46
- his first podcast back will be interesting (I hope it is with Cousin Sal) -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 09:26 2
  - Agreed. I wonder if they will just be business as usual and just act as if nothing happened. Would be tough to mention it and not get in trouble. - volnelk Oct 14, 09:48 1
    - I can see Sal saying something like "so....how was your vacation?" - Beaker Oct 14, 10:18
TV PSA: The Voice, Marry Me, About a Boy, Chicago Fire, SHIELD, Selfie, M Love Story, Forever, NCIS, NCIS NO, POI, New Girl, Mindy Project, Flash, -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 09:13 21
- Last week's Mindy Project was hilarious. I hope tonight's is just as funny. -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 09:55 1
  - me too. it makes me giggle. -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 10:01
- Wait, I forgot to TiVo marry me? -- nm - Amanda Oct 14, 09:18 2
  - I set it to record. - spamlet Oct 14, 09:36 1
    - I can set via my phone once I am reuinted with it. also, I may be home (shocker, I know.) but thanks. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 14, 09:39
- I streamed a few minutes of Gracepoint and NCIS:NO last night. Passing on both. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 09:18 4
  - New Orleans is dumb. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Oct 14, 09:30 3
    - I like it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 09:39
    - I dumped the roiginal this season. No NCIS shows at all for me now -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 09:31 1
      - iirc I dumped the original last season -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 09:33
- One show, POI. Not looking like a good year of TV for me. Thursday has nothing. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 09:15 9
  - Oh yeah, I'm caught up on POI. Great season so far -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 09:26 4
    - I'm enjoying it but... (spoilers) - Krusty Oct 14, 09:29 3
      - I think they will..... - Remlik Oct 14, 09:36 2
        
        Yeah. I am enjoying the build-up to the confrontation that's coming. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 09:47 1
        
        I rewatched some season1 yesterday. still amazes me all the great characters and groups they introduced in 1 season -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 10:16
  - "I only have two modes: calm and furious" -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 09:22 3
    - I do not watch, but love that line. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 09:25 1
      - all his scenes from last week were gold - POI spoilers - Beaker Oct 14, 09:26
    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 09:23
- Supernatural, SOA, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 09:13
PSA xmas gift idea ( or Maj dad) Cuisanart Knives set $ 19.99 at Best Buy -- (link) - Epiphany Oct 14, 09:12 5
- oh, I need knives! thanks! (maybe he does too.) -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 14, 09:39
- maj - does he do books on CD? does he need a service? cleaning lady for a month? etc? -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 09:27 3
  - he refuses to admit that he needs help of any kind. I was thinking of a sweater and some suede vans. it feels so lame, though. - vice president peggy ann Oct 14, 09:41 2
    - does he do plants? Walmart now has *glow in the dark* llive plants - called Glowee. - Andie Oct 14, 09:48 1
      - (i like the Vans idea though) -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 09:48
Didn't expect that. I've spent almost exactly half of my Destiny time in the Crucible. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 09:09 12
- so can you explain something to me about that....... - groiny Oct 14, 09:24 11
  - Armour and weapons do not count 'officially' in the Crucible. More inside. - Shaun Oct 14, 09:29 10
    - I played a game last night, where I finished with 200 points. - groiny Oct 14, 09:32 9
      - Oof. -- nm - David Oct 14, 09:35 5
        
        I am mostly consistantly over 2,000 points per game. - groiny Oct 14, 09:38 4
        
        Also, if you were playing the Iron Banner, gear sort of matters a little bit there. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 09:44 2
        
        aah, ok. I am at level 18, so my gear is no where near as good as these level 25 guys. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 09:56 1
        
        The difference should not be that large though, unless people were using a few of the stupidly overpowered weapons. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 10:01
        
        I've had awful games as well, like sub-1k. Then I'll rip off a 5300 point game. - Shaun Oct 14, 09:42
      - Are you ADS shooting or just shooting form the hip? ADS is insanely more effective. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 09:35 2
        
        with a shotgun, I am just hip firing at them at close range. - groiny Oct 14, 09:37 1
        
        Even with the shotgun, you should be trying to ADS ideally. Also try to get the hang of fusion rifles. I hated them at first, but love them now. -- nm - Shaun Oct 14, 09:39
my ex BIL's story about the 839 days in the hands of Somalia Pirates is out in bookform -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 09:09 8
- any plans for an english version (i would absolutely read that.) ? -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 09:11 7
  - publisher is the local ship museum so i doubt it but i'll ask around -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 09:15 6
    - You could just do it for us. We'd also like an audio book version. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 09:27 5
      - in english/german and danish huh???? :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 09:32 4

        right mate :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 09:35 2
        
        And then one in a funny hat! -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 14, 09:35 1
