      - also.. i thought expats had to come back after their stay? -- nm - colin Mar 5, 09:09 2

        Marshall was my first guess but I came back from a lunch discussion after spammy shut it down :/ -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 09:07 2
        
        Sorry. People saying it was so hard made me think no one would get it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 09:09 1
        
        my pre 1980 baseball knowledge is limited, especially with relief pitching. - groiny Mar 5, 09:11
        
        I don't think anyone who isn't a baseball fan ever heard of the current winners -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:59
        
        Really? I'm surprised. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 08:58 1
        
        yeah, I would have never guessed that one either. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:59

        Lyle was before him. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 08:52
DiMaria sold from Real Madrid to Manchester United because he's ugly; - Loyola Mar 5, 08:43 4
- Doesn't bother me if he looks like a chicken with no feathers. He's not playing well though either. -- nm - Loyola Mar 5, 08:51 2
  - oops, for zorkonia -- nm - Loyola Mar 5, 08:51 1
    - the obvious answer to get him to play better ... - zork Mar 5, 08:53
- heh - zork Mar 5, 08:48
A plane just skidded off a runway at LaGuardia -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:28 12
- Sounds like it maybe went off the side of the runway, not the end -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:50
- Skiddy runways...boy, I don't know. -- nm - Loyola Mar 5, 08:47
- [deleted] 3
  - until 7pm Eastern -- nm - zork Mar 5, 09:08
  - Really they should just do that anyway. - pmb Mar 5, 08:48
  - They found an ornate coffin in the cargo hold... -- nm - Ultron Mar 5, 08:47
- About 30 minutes ago, but yeah. -- nm - Ultron Mar 5, 08:42 5
  - You post this even though it took you 14 minutes to respond to mine? Besides, I said it that way or it could mean any time in the last century or so -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:44 1
    - Oops. Missed your post time (thought it was just posted). -- nm - Ultron Mar 5, 08:45
  - Radio is saying there doesn't appear to be any injuries. The plane crashed into a fence at the end of the runway. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:43 2
    - [deleted]
    - the nose is resting on top of the berm with the fence. It's a Delta MD-80 -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:45
[deleted] 23
- Twelve jars of honey and seven pic-a-nic baskets? -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:27
- Saints got a 5th for Sproles, and they were likely going to release him otherwise. I'd guess something comparable to that. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 08:25 6
  - and speaking of the Saints, they're likely in the same situation with LB Lofton this year as Sproles last year. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 08:27 1
    - [deleted]
  - Marshall is a top 5 receiver when he is healthy. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:26 3
    - When the rest of the NFL knows you're desperate to unload a guy, they adjust their offers accordingly. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 08:28 2
      - oh, I understand that. I just don't know why they are so desperate to unload him. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:29
      - But on the flip side, all you need is 2 teams to drive up each other's offers. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 08:28
- I hate, hate, hate that they are even considering this. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:25 14
  - the dude is a cancer -- nm - CQ Mar 5, 08:33 12
    - From where I'm sitting (and obviously I'm not in the locker room), I don't really see it. He's been a great guy in the community and he wants to win. - pmb Mar 5, 08:35 6
      - lol -- nm - Jay Cutler Mar 5, 08:40 5
        
        That's Cutler we're talking about, and even Cutler still seems to support him even after Marshall distanced himself from him. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 08:41 4

        Rickey Henderson made the Hall Of Fame with the same baggage. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:46 1
        
        Is this baggage yours? Did you pack it yourself? Has it been out your sight at any point? Do you know what's in it? -- nm - HOF Customs Officer Mar 5, 08:49
        
        Again, I think he's been a different guy here, but I think your last sentence may be the real driver. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 08:46
    - he has been my favorite Bear the last 2 seasons. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:35 4
      - The one thing I will say is that I think this team is not going to be the pass first team that it was under Trestman. They may just feel the money is - pmb Mar 5, 08:37 3
        
        maybe so, but you are not going to get anything useful by dealing him - groiny Mar 5, 08:39 2
        
        Cap space and another pick. Most spent on the defensive side of the ball. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 08:40 1
        
        I am not on board with any part of this. - groiny Mar 5, 08:44
  - Same. I don't know what we're not seeing, but the local sportswriters all seem to think he should be gone. Lots seems to hinge on his locker room - pmb Mar 5, 08:32

  - Yep, we've got something in development. -- nm - LMS Mar 5, 08:25 6
    - You can hire Krusty as a consultant! -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 08:40 2
      - Hire? I'd work for free! -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:44 1
        
        Unfortunately, you'll have to move to London for 6 months. -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 10:31

        Also, I just realized the old man is Charles Grodin! -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 08:34
        
        This sounds familiar. Thanks for the reminder, it looks pretty good. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:33
      - I have them all on Google alerts but haven't seen anything. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:23
- I probably would not Google "Beastie Girl" -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:16 1
  - ...at work. -- nm - Shaun Mar 5, 08:17
I am not gonna lie, I got a little hard when I read the Rock Band 4 announcement. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 08:13

YDC: Jeb Bush has sent out a private/secret fundraising e-mail to his donors asking them to limit their contributions to $1M. - MDH Mar 5, 07:58 11
- That so many people have millions to donate to a primary candidate and are willing do do so makes me queasy. -- nm - zork Mar 5, 08:24 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - I used to but since neither side will take it it seems pretty useless now. -- nm - iSpam Mar 5, 08:38
    - I think like that too. I'd never give any politician money. -- nm - Loyola Mar 5, 08:28
- "private" and "secret" but yet we all know about it. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 08:14 2
  - Things leak, same as always -- nm - Roger More Mar 5, 08:20
  - Double-secret! -- nm - Ultron Mar 5, 08:14
- "...a desire to build as broad a pool of donors as possible among wealthier contributors" - Ultron Mar 5, 08:12 2
  - Part of that isn't "F the wealthy" as much as strangle the money available to other top GOP contenders. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 08:14 1
    - err, F the poor. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 08:17
- Sometimes I think moves like that are more geared towards bumping donations from the 500-800k level up to the million. - Loyola Mar 5, 08:06
Sanding and priming is what I'm all about today. Not as much fun as toilet paper octopuses, but I need to get this bunk bed done -- nm - CQ Mar 5, 07:56 2

So, what do we think about HBO Now's $15/month price tag? My stoner hippie friend is outraged they priced it that high. -- nm - Ender Mar 5, 07:45 17
- That's what was rumored so I'm not surprised. I agree with patryk and mandy that $12 would have looked better. - spamlet Mar 5, 08:23 1
  - 36 dollars more a year from HBO does not excite me. - groiny Mar 5, 08:24
- It's three dollars cheaper than through our cable company. -- nm - David Mar 5, 07:59
- Isn't that the cost if you order it for cable? Seems fine to me. Is it worth that, I'm not sure. You get more with Netflix for less. - Krusty Mar 5, 07:59
- patryk and I talked about this yesterday. I think the sweet spot (the spot at which people consider stopping using mom's HBO GO) is $12 per month. q: - all the boys love mandy lane Mar 5, 07:52 4
  - Currently HBO costs $15-$20 depending on the provider. -- nm - Ender Mar 5, 08:03 2
    - sorry I'm in training today. so it's less for HBO now? that's ... not what I would expect, -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Mar 5, 09:12 1
      - Well, HBO doesn't have to give half of it to the cable provider. -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 07:27
  - It's $18 a month for me on DirecTV. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:02
- Related: The # of ppl I know who complain that HBO Go doesn't work great live when their parents are paying makes me angry. -- nm - MDH Mar 5, 07:47 6
  - I never use it live because that's not my right since my mom is paying. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Mar 5, 07:52 5
    - When GOT is on, it's constantly people bitc*ing. - MDH Mar 5, 07:55 4
      - Every generation has to stand for something -- nm - con_carne Mar 5, 08:10
      - I learned to not complain and just wait a few hours. By 11pm or 1130pm the Sunday a GoT episodes airs HBOGO usually works fine. -- nm - Inigo Mar 5, 08:03 2
        
        I wonder if it will work better in this coming season now that they're using MLB's streaming platform... -- nm - Ender Mar 5, 08:11 1
        
        If so, Sunday nights could be fun....the WWE uses that same platform and their PPVs are then. - Will Hunting Mar 5, 08:16
