Reagen, the market loves all that positive Disney news over the weekend. - Bacon Aug 17, 07:17 12
- we were thinking of going again, but now will wait till Star Wars land is completed, I wonder if they see a short-term drop - Beaker Aug 17, 07:22 11

    - the dollar sucks too much to consider that right now -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 07:28 1

- Nice. -- nm - ML Aug 17, 06:24 4
  - If our dollar wasn't such crap right now, I'd highly consider this as a throwaway tablet. -- nm - Shaun Aug 17, 06:40 3
    - Why would you buy a tablet just to throw it away? -- nm - decline Aug 17, 06:40 2
      - Does it blend? -- nm - Qale Aug 17, 09:12

Jordan Spieth's -54 total score at the 4 majors this year is the best combined score ever. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 17, 06:19 5
- I don't get all the Spieth love from the fans. Seems like a little pompous prick to me. -- nm - CQ Aug 17, 06:56 3
  - I don't get that vibe. He seems mature for his years and almost borders on Eddie Haskell to me. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 07:15
  - I don't know that I'd count myself among his fans, but I don't get that off him - Reagen Aug 17, 07:04

        Your IM on the bye week drama is normal drafting. That's why most draft guides tell you what week the Bye Weeks are. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 06:14
        
        There are few guys worth anything in the later rounds and now there won't be anyone available in FA. - Krusty Aug 17, 06:04
