- Article? I hear about HC interviews but none for GM. I think the GM should be the focus and let him work with the team finding a coach. - Krusty Jan 5, 12:53 3
  - Being in a similar boat with the bears, the risk is that if you wait until you get the GM first you may miss out on the best coaching candidates. - pmb Jan 5, 13:06

    - I'd call my bank and change my password but otherwise, yes. - Mel Profit Jan 5, 12:45 1
      - I'd change my gmail passwords as well but that's all I can think of. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 5, 13:06

- The Federalist needs to catch up. Daniel Snyder is the most hated man in football...Jerry Jones is now runner-up. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 12:24
- Unrelated to politics, I was really sad for CC when I saw he still weighed that much after the lap band surgery. - David Jan 5, 12:22 5
  - I thought the same thing. Unless he really sheds, he stands no chance. -- nm - MDH Jan 5, 12:31 2
    - Again, I'm not talking about the politics. I just think that situation is sad. - David Jan 5, 12:35 1
      - I agree. I've had 2 extended family members have the surgery, I know it's rough, and I honestly do hope he gets healthier. -- nm - MDH Jan 5, 12:39

  - There is also a documentary about the fake invasion. It can be streamed through Amazon Prime. -- (link) - GregW Jan 5, 12:38
  - The GWB pitch was just flawless. Not pro league by any means. But utterly effortless yet in the strike zone. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:36 2
    - That... would be a boring movie. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 13:08
    - Hmm. This is about the Chris Christie article. How'd it end up here? -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 13:07
- great read. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 12:06

- I'd like to think Whiplash could, but realistically it will probably have to be something higher profile. -- nm - Polar Baron Jan 5, 12:31
- For those who've seen it; is it good as a movie, or good as an ambitious project? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 11:59 2
  - [deleted]
  - The latter will always outshine the former. Without that, it's a good movie still - ty97 Jan 5, 12:18
- Dave is annoyed that it keeps making everyone Best Pics list. He doesn't get it as a Best Picture. - Andie Jan 5, 11:52 8
  - neither patryk nor I liked it. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Jan 5, 12:47
  - Bring him on here and let's hash it out... :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:09 3
    - he's a reddit guy. - Andie Jan 5, 12:10 2
      - I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but Reddit Movies is what a good version of the Movies Board would have been in an alternate universe -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:17
      - *likes* -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 12:11

- puberty -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 11:52
- You bet Boyhood, I bet the field. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:52 3
  - FWIW, Boyhood is -600 to win BP on one of the major wagering sites. Next best is Imitation Game at +800. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 11:58 1
    - Never tell me the odds. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 13:09

I will earn my riches by inventing instant undilation rips for eyes - ty97 Jan 5, 11:50 6

- I'll back it if you back my startup of silent leaf blowers -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:11 2
  - And then we launch odorless weed -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 12:16 1
    - Smelly weed is like the olfactory version of that dude who won't shut up about weed - con_carne Jan 5, 12:29
- so we can make fun of you for the next 7 hours and you won't know it? -- nm - decline Jan 5, 11:53 1
  - Oh I'll know - ty97 Jan 5, 12:04
"Any smile longer than a second and a half is a conman's ruse" -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 11:48 2

PS Now is the game streaming service available on PS4, PS3, PS Vita, PS TV, and certain smart TVs that allows direct streaming of PS3 games. - Ender Jan 5, 11:46
Honest NFL Headlines: Wildcard Round -- (link) - budice Jan 5, 11:46 3
- "radiator hamster lava binoculars" -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 11:50 1
  - Now, mix that with the Big Ben of the FB QB fame. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 12:00
- Larry Fitzgerald hangs on to Panthers: "Please take me with you!" -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 11:49
I feel almost disappointed when I call to close an account and nobody seems to care :) - Meg Jan 5, 11:44
One of you smart Xboners better grab your boy. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 5, 11:41 [Backboard] 24
- GYB! I gather there's a two-tier pricing system? I don't really understand PS vs PS+ either. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:43 23
  - PS+ is the service that gives you online access and 6 free games per month. PSNow is a streaming service that gives you access to 100+ PS3 games... - Shaun Jan 5, 11:45 15
    - too confusing! -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:47 14
      - Fwiw, you're right. It is terribly named for marketing purposes. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:16 2
        
        They probably invented Vudu. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:16 1
        
        Isn't there a saying about biting the hand that feeds you? -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:19
      - I *think* it is english he was speaking. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:48 1
        
        Like I said... -- (link) - Shaun Jan 5, 11:49 [Backboard]
      - Not really... -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:47 8
        
        But is there a PSN, PSN+, and PSNow? That's like three things. With Xbox there's just free or $ Live. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:48 7
        
        PSN = Xbox Live, PS+ = Xbox Live Gold subscription, PSNow = Netflix for PS3 games. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:50 6
        
        So it's a whole nother thing not like the rest! Why can't PSNow just be part of PSN+? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:53 5
        
        Because then being able to play online multiplayer on the PS4 would cost $250 a year. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 11:56 3
        
        (I do expect them to eventually get around to a streaming purchase model eventually.) - Ender Jan 5, 12:01
        
        Hence my asking is a PS-4 was included in that cost. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:57 1
        
        Sure sure... - Shaun Jan 5, 11:58
        
        idk, ask Japan. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:54
  - PS+ is like Xbox Live. PS Now is Sony's game streaming service - think Gamefly -- nm - decline Jan 5, 11:44 6
    - PSNow basically serves as a way for PS4 owners to play previous PS1/2/3 games. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 11:45 5
      - It's definitely mainly geared, imo, toward 360 converts, but I suppose mostly anyone could find a use for it. I am not one of the people. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:46 4
        
        Playing Mass Effects on my PS4 is fun. That's the only use I've found so far. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 12:00
        
        I wish they'd get around to a "you bought this digitally on PS3? Here you can stream it for free" feature. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 11:48 2
        
        That would be a nice touch. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 11:53
        
        3? I want my Altered Beast!!! -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:50
LYC: My grandparents have a bunch of electronic/computer stuff that they're trying to get rid of. They asked for my help. -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 5, 11:40 4
- how else are you going to read one of those thing, not like the old days when we could stick a fingernail into a record grove to hear what was on it -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 5, 11:56
- Send it to TG and then they could change the page to "In Stock!" -- nm - Max Jan 5, 11:44 1
  - Be sure to scrub all the porn off, first. -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:49
- You are the grandson of Tiger Direct? -- nm - Ultron Jan 5, 11:42
