"The Jets will explore the possibility of trading up, said Maccagnan -- an acknowledgement that will, no doubt, fuel the Marcus Mariota speculation." -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:29 3
- Ugh! Please, no. -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 12:36 2
  - Really? He's night and day better than Geno Smith. -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:43 1
    - Yes, he is. But I've read a lot about him and I'm not convinced he's a long term QB in the league that's worth moving up for. - Krusty Apr 24, 12:49

Now for some Gotham thoughts(spoils) - eag Apr 24, 12:23
from bb's, I still have been watching "grey's anatomy" and I was peeved about spoilers before last night/today. (spoilery) - b. Apr 24, 12:22 8

  - Grey's Anatomy is what led to the song becoming popular. It's a callback. - Kim Pine Apr 24, 12:32 2
    - I dont watch it either but ive heard that song on at least 3-4 other shows on there trailers -- nm - eag Apr 24, 12:36 1
      - It's the primary association for the show. It's even listed on the wiki page for the song. - David Apr 24, 12:38

  - Just the vast majority of the population of this fine city?!? - Krusty Apr 24, 12:42
- Would taking control of the MTA back from the state help us in getting the funding they need or would it be in more trouble? - Krusty Apr 24, 12:27 6
  - The problem is that the MTA goes beyond the city. If you want a rational regional system it has to be controlled by the state. -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 12:35 4
    - It's not really a state agency, proper. The authority is more like a private corporation operating under charter by New York - professor smartbrain Apr 24, 12:41 1
      - That's true. -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 12:44
    - But it's not working this way. R or D governor, it doesn't matter, they under fund the system. - Krusty Apr 24, 12:41 1
      - The MTA has (at least partially) a separate funding stream from income and payroll taxes of companies in the MTA area. - spamlet Apr 24, 12:43

- I don't understand why they keep fighting so hard to merge. Cable is dying, and non-wire internet is the future. -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:14 9
  - Because they can charge monopoly pricing to people who don't get the new system. (How many people still have landlines?) -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 12:18
  - That's why Time Warner is trying to sell TWC to some sucker. -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 12:16 7
    - Sure but why do the suckers keep falling for it? -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:20 6
      - because TWC revenue is $22.1B/year? -- nm - decline Apr 24, 12:26 5
        
        Like buying a print media company in 2005. -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:31 4
        
        It's still a large customer base to use to transition your business and fund the infrastructrue for that. Cable companies are branching into other - pmb Apr 24, 12:39 3
        
        The point is that they're offering wire-based internet services. Their wireless services are substandard. - David Apr 24, 12:45 1
        
        They're buying a customer base and income flow with which to transition to a future viable business. -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 12:50
        
        and if current attrition rates are maintained it would be at least 50 years before they see the end of their existing subscriber base -- nm - decline Apr 24, 12:44
- I don't know Charter. Are they less evil than Comcast? I would imagine so since I don't read horror stories about them. -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 11:56 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - True. Hard to throw under Comcast. I hate mergers like this but more so when it's two evil companies. -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 12:01
- TWC being sold by TW had been a certainty for a while. Only question was 'to whom'? -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 11:51
- If I see that Charter commercial with the singing/dancing operators again, my TV might not survive the experience. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 24, 11:50 2
  - But the blonde is kind of cute so you have that... -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 11:53 1
    - Troof. I also laugh at the bald guy who clearly can't dance. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 24, 12:14
- Not surprising. They tried to buy them once already and TW is clearly in play. - spamlet Apr 24, 11:45
Are you guys trying VoG tonight? -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 11:44 1

There is no way that fight ends in a draw. - Mel Profit Apr 24, 11:44 10
- Mayweather in the 9th. Pac will get frustrated with Money's defense and start attacking. - Krusty Apr 24, 12:05 4
  - It could happen... - Mel Profit Apr 24, 12:17 3
    - FUCK Mayweather. FUCK HIM! - Diva Apr 24, 12:50
    - I just want a fun and exciting fight. I don't really care who wins or how it ends. Just entertain me! :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 12:21 1
      - yep. I hope it comes close to living up to the hype. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 24, 12:32
- I think he ends it with a right hook with a bit of a jab. -- nm - spamlet Apr 24, 11:49

        She loses points for using the word "disambiguate" twice. -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 12:09
        
        There's that "heretofore" word again. -- nm - Max Apr 24, 11:36
        
        Intellectual Extraordinaire! -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 11:35
      - tempting, but I don't think I want her to have my email address. she certainly has a high opinion of herself. - mafic Apr 24, 11:33 2
        
        If you really want to know (I'm guessing based off of the filing) this has got to be her argument. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 24, 11:39 1

  - listen Max, it took her about one month to study the history of the world, and to learn the history and inner workings of American jurisprudence, - mafic Apr 24, 11:10 3
    - oddly enough - the correct spelling and grammar is what really sells this - Epiphany Apr 24, 11:17 2
      - yeah, but it's still very poorly written. -- nm - mafic Apr 24, 11:37 1
