Spotted just outside ofIndy: $1.63 for unleaded. - David Dec 29, 09:26
"Kyle Orton told the Bills that he's retiring. Back to the van!" -- (link) - budice Dec 29, 09:26 8
- he mentioned 'going home to be a dad'. I shuddered trying to imagine what let him have sex with them. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 09:28 4
  - imagining having sex with Mel is no picnic either. -- nm - ST Dec 29, 09:29 3
    - line crossed. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 09:30 2
      - sorry. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:31 1
        
        thx -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 09:31
- can't wait for the Orton returning to the Bears rumor mill. -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:27 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - many people here want the Bears to just cut him and eat his guaranteed money. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:29
I started playing Borderlands 1 a couple days ago. That's a fun game. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 09:24 2
- One of my favorite 360 games. Loved it! -- nm - Krusty Dec 29, 09:27
- yes -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:26
Redskins:"NBC- Just saw Jim Haslett here at Redskins Park." -- nm - budice Dec 29, 09:22 1

JitB Waffle Sandwich!! Guess I'll be eating fruits and veggies the rest of the day :) -- nm - Meg Dec 29, 09:20

Fox News hires some very stupid people to put on the air. -- (link) - TWuG Dec 29, 09:11 3
- cowboy attitude saves the day again -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 09:15
- lol -- The Reagen look! nm - Ultron Dec 29, 09:12 1
  - you see which side you're on now? -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 09:15
I look forward to betting on whichever team hires Rex next season. He impressed me down the stretch once he was dead coach walking. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 09:06 14
- [deleted] 1
  - you have a few years before you have to worry about that. - groiny Dec 29, 09:16
- I can't stand the man, but I think he is a good head coach. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:07 11
  - Head Coach? no. DC? yes. -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 09:11 10
    - Not even that is clear. He had a ridiculous amount of talent in Baltimore. Anyone would have a top 5 with Suggs, Reed, Lewis and McAlister... - Inigo Dec 29, 09:16 1
      - Maybe, but I would give him another shot at DC. I would not even interview him for HC. -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 09:18
    - Yup. -- nm - David Dec 29, 09:15 5
      - I think Ryan would have killed to have the Falcons roster. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:17 4
        
        Our QB, sure. Our lines? No. -- nm - David Dec 29, 09:22 3
        
        Chris Johnson could not even make the Titans. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:23
        
        your QB, your RB, your WR. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:23 1
        
        Meanwhile, I covet their LBs. Ours finished 57th and 59th out of 60. - David Dec 29, 09:32
    - I look at his skill players over his tenure and i think he coached them up. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 09:12 1
      - yeah, for the talent that he has to work with, I think they are mostly competetive. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:15
Saints: Rob Ryan just walked through the locker room. Sean Payton presser at bottom of hour. -- (link) - budice Dec 29, 09:01
Reality TV experiencing all-around ratings plunge -- (link) - con_carne Dec 29, 08:55
Giants HC Tom Coughlin retained, possible coaching changes TBD -- nm - budice Dec 29, 08:53 4
- I think when Coughlin dies, they are still gonna wheel his old bones out there to coach. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 08:56 3
  - And rumors will circulate that he's on the hot seat and may be fired. -- nm - pmb Dec 29, 09:13
  - works for Jim Caldwll -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 09:07
  - 3 minutes early. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:57
It's kinda amazing to me that Mike Smith is gone after 2 years of bad results... - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:48 14
- This year was a particularly bad coaching job by him though. Think the Lions loss. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 08:54 10
  - Yesterday's loss is 100% on Blank. -- nm - David Dec 29, 08:56 9
    - how is that? -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 08:59 8
      - Blank intentionally leaked yesterday morning that a search firm was in place to hire Smith's replacement. - David Dec 29, 09:02 7
        
        while quite dickish, it shouldn't deter an entire team from trying their hardest to get into the playoffs. - Diva Dec 29, 09:18 4
        
        A similar thing happened with UT before Pearl's last game. - David Dec 29, 09:21 3
        
        A professional player should be a professional player and go out there and try to win a division and get a home game in the playoffs. - Diva Dec 29, 09:26 2
        
        Sure but emotion and mental state are important. For no good reason, Blank disrupted the team moments before the game of the year. - David Dec 29, 09:29
        
        I agree. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:27
        
        Jets players fought hard to the end for Rex. Falcons rolled over. I think that's telling. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 09:07 1
        
        Ryan and Smith are both loved by their players. - David Dec 29, 09:14
- Who was it last year that got canned after one year? -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 08:50 2
  - I think it was the Browns which was absolutely befuddling. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:53 1
    - Yeah, so far this year has made sense compared to that one. -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 08:54
Perfect world, Rex Ryan ends up in New England as DC...him and hoodie win 1-2 more rings - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:47 2
- I'd be done with football forever. Done. -- nm - Krusty Dec 29, 08:48 1
  - You sound like Ed. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:58
Star Wars: Fortune article with Iger featured Millenium Falcon pics -- (link) - budice Dec 29, 08:41
Harbaugh might have been a perfect fit in Atlanta -- nm - budice Dec 29, 08:21 10
- Arthur Blank on GM Thomas Dimitroff "Thomas is our general manager. If there are any changes to that, we'll let you know" -- nm - budice Dec 29, 08:35
- I like him, but has his team in SF really been that good? -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 08:26 8
  - Barnwell wrote about how crazy it is that he is gone -- (link) - Beaker Dec 29, 09:08
  - In the 8 years prior to him coming to the 49ers, they averaged less than 6 wins a year. - Inigo Dec 29, 08:33 6
    - his QB has regressed the last 2 years, sounds like the locker room is a mess..... - groiny Dec 29, 08:33 5
      - I'm very excited for him to come to Michigan, but I think he's a better college coach than a pro coach. I think he can wear down guys with his - pmb Dec 29, 08:49
      - Kaepernick isn't as good as he appeared in that first season, and the locker room disfunction is a sign of Harbaugh - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:44 2
        
        Everyone keeps saying this, but that doesn't explain Belichick's continued success. - Inigo Dec 29, 08:53 1
        
        I think part of it is Hoodie doesn't look like he's ready to kill someone when something goes wrong. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 08:55
      - Yup, both are huge parts of why he was forced out. I still put this akin to trying to make Andy Reid leave at the height of the McNabb era. - Inigo Dec 29, 08:44
this board's manager would like to apologize for all of the terrible football teams this year. all those responsible have been sacked. -- nm - call me Ishmael Dec 29, 08:18

Russian Ruble drops another 5% today -- (link) - Beaker Dec 29, 07:54 5
- I'm so delighted that the Russian economy has been crippled. I'd like to think that it was sanctions, but sadly it's just lower oil prices. - Mop Dec 29, 08:03 4
  - The sanctions against Russia have been targeted at certain individuals and companies. They were never designed to cause widespread pain to the economy -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 08:07 3
    - I mean, you should be glad that the US *can't* cripple a country's economy at will. -- nm - Reagen Dec 29, 08:10 2
      - IK,R? -- nm - Cuba Dec 29, 08:49
      - Certainly not alone, But the US and EU (and other) sanctions against Iran are having an impact, especially the ones against the financial sector. -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 08:35
