No settlement in Deflategate, ruling expected by Friday. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:51 2

- Some Korean film. Snowpeircer? -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 09:56
- Crouching Tiger? -- nm - Max Aug 31, 09:52 18
  - No but you're thinking the right way. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:54 14
    - People just don't want to play your reindeer games anymore, Inigo. - David Aug 31, 09:58 13
      - the what? -- nm - decline Aug 31, 10:04 3
        
        Huuuuuge French film. It was treated as an indie film here. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        True doctrine. -- nm - Omar Aug 31, 10:09
      - How the hell did that make $100 million state-side? -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:01 7
        
        It made $400 million globally *without* making $100 million domestically. - Inigo Aug 31, 10:03 1
        
        Right, that was my understanding in the first place, which is why I thought of a Korean film. -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:17
        
        Nothing to see here. -- nm* - Jim Aug 31, 10:02
        
        Never mind. I read that wrong. -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 10:02 3
        
        It's a bastardization of the thought process anyway. We got the film after everyone else. - David Aug 31, 10:05 2
        
        As China becomes more of a box office giant, this will happen far more often. - Inigo Aug 31, 10:10 1
        
        No doubt. International audiences aren't very discriminating (yet). -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:11
      - Boo. Don't read above, STers. David ruined! -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 10:00
  - Shockingly that film made more money stateside than it did overseas. Right kind of thinking for the answer, though. -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 09:53 2
    - Hero. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:58 1
      - ack! beat me to it -- nm - decline Aug 31, 10:00
K, so I had my first live draft in years the other night...8 team league. PPR and QB gets 6 pts for passing TDs. - Jim Aug 31, 09:48 8
- I don't love your receivers. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 09:49 6
  - I think they're fine. Cooks should be a solid start and I'm thinking Fitz has one last good Palmer season in him. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 31, 10:37
  - I don't either...that's where I think I'm screwed. Would you replace any of them with Steve Smith? -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 09:52 4
    - Even though he's injured - what about Victor Cruz? He's available as well./ -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 09:54 2
      - in an 8-team league, he should be left on waivers -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:56 1
        
        Thanks. I'm so out of the loop on this stuff. If it's not Broncos - I don't know about it. - Jim Aug 31, 09:57
    - I would replace Larry Fitz with Steve Smith, yes -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:53
- In an 8 team league, I have no clue. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:49
"Ou est la Reine Elizabeth?" -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 09:48
Bro! - Yawnye Aug 31, 09:48
ST Poll: How happy are you with your insurance? (1-10) - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:47 8
- at first 2 but finally changed primary to a real clinic so 8 - zeitgeist Aug 31, 10:25
- Within the confines of the US health insurance system (which needs fixing overall) my provider is at least an 8. - ty97 Aug 31, 10:07
- I actually have that on today's (giant) to-do list. I need to call to check some things.(note - not Health) -- nm* - Andie Aug 31, 10:01

Jay Gruden just said Kirk Cousins is the starter not just for Week 1 but for the 2015 season. "It's Kirk's team" -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:42 11
- *drinks* - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:44 4
  - Good news! -- (link) - ML Aug 31, 09:47
  - I'm sorry. It sucks to have your hope stripped away before the season begins. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:45 2
    - Meh, it's just less likely I'll care about the NFL which makes things better overall - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:48 1
      - I think you should root for the Giants this yr -- nm - mud Aug 31, 09:50
- Poor JF burned a keeper on RG3. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:43 5
  - I just can't get over that Cousins got benched for Colt McCoy at one point. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:44 4
    - Well...it's going to ahppen again. Cousins is better than RG3 but neither is a NFL starting QB. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:45 3
      - Cousins reminds me of Elvis Grbac. Good fantasy stats but zero ability to win or lead the team. -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 09:46 2
        
        I can't wait for him to be in a game with a line like 31 for 48, for 399 yards, with 3TDs and 4 INT's.. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:50
        
        So like Philip Rivers in January? -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:49
It's Tyrod Taylor for Buffalo. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:37 6
- *revs up the QB1 wagon* -- nm - ML Aug 31, 09:38 4
  - Yay. -- nm - Strongbad, Sammy owner Aug 31, 09:45 3
    - it's less his passing ability (although that's looked good this preseason), but more Tyrod's running skills - ML Aug 31, 09:48 2
      - Just the threat of him running and extending plays makes Sammy more valuable. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:49 1
        
        Sammy's a victim of the NFL Draft, just like McFadden was. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:50
- Tyrod is a car part. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 09:37
Ender - Strongbad...I don't consider Carson a legitimate candidate either. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:35 12
- The interesting thing with Rubio is that by acting like a grown up through this it makes him appear far more moderate than he is. If he can make it - pmb Aug 31, 09:50 5
  - "was" a tea party favorite - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:51 4
    - Yes, but only because he actually proposed immigration reform (that he then backed off of). Since they insist on absolute purity he fell out of favor - pmb Aug 31, 09:56
    - Ever since he pushed a plan to solve a problem that didn't demonize all non-whites. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:53
    - [deleted] 1
      - They were? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:54
- The latest Monmouth poll in Iowa has him tied with Trump at 23% - jangles Aug 31, 09:47 2
  - Iowa also voted for Pat Robertson and Steve Forbes in our lifetimes...I'm not considering him a legitimate candidate. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:51 1
    - if you get the most votes in a primary, you are by definition legitimate - jangles Aug 31, 09:56
- Carson's really running for a cabinet spot. -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 09:37 2
  - That's actually a step better than I'd go. he's in it for book sales imo. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:39 1
    - That's why most of the GOPers are running. It's about getting the Fox News gig or selling books or getting speaking fees. - TWuG Aug 31, 09:41
Unless ST convinces me, I may not even buy the new Halo. - Spawn Aug 31, 09:34 7
- ...said a loser I knew once. -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 09:46
- 2 words - eag Aug 31, 09:38 1
  - He's got a big role in The Taken King as well, so screw 343. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:51
- the reviews have to be phenominal, and even then, it is iffy. - groiny Aug 31, 09:35 3
  - I have it pre ordered -- nm - eag Aug 31, 09:38
  - I'm not getting it, especially after the MCC disaster. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:38 1
    - right, I just sold my unopened copy of MCC to my co worker. - groiny Aug 31, 09:39
B2: We're about 5 years into the tobacco surcharge here - Strongbad Aug 31, 09:33 1
- TWUG had some good comments on B2. I had forgotten about our spousal charge - that started last year. -- nm - Pippy in a bustle Aug 31, 09:36
The issue with Cavemen (mostly) is that like half the league doesn't post here anymore, so other forms of notification are needed. - Shaun Aug 31, 09:31
Ryan Broyles reportedly cut. - David Aug 31, 09:31 1
- Damn your IM. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:32
Shaun, Kim, Inigo -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 09:31 4
- It's znu time. -- nm - Inigo Aug 31, 09:58
- Liar, I picked like 5 mins ago. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 09:32
- It's to Kim, who'll pick when she gets here for lunch in a few. -- nm* - David Aug 31, 09:32 1
  - *rages* -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 09:33
So, having a few large Fallout Shelter attacks back to back can be bad.... - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:30 9
- Thankfully for me, given the first on a prior board, this isn't even the worst first of the day. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:30 8
  - What, did Inigo start a quiz? -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:33 6
    - Sorry, that wasn't one of the 15 options listed under "5 best Inigo jokes" ... sorry. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:35 5
      - Yes it was. -- nm - TWuG Aug 31, 09:36 4
        
        Wait, no, you were right, it wasn't. -- nm - TWuG Aug 31, 09:36 3
        
        On second thought, I think you were wrong and it *was* Top 10 worthy. -- nm - TWuG Aug 31, 09:38 1
        
        I mean Top 5. -- nm - TWuG Aug 31, 09:38
        
        Heh. -- nm - David Aug 31, 09:37
  - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 09:31
