  - Jeff George? Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 11:52 4
    - Back when things were so bad he spiked the ball on 4th down becuase that's what the coaches told him to do in his earpiece. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:53 3
      - We had a QB in college that threw one OOB because he thought he had 1 more down. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 12:00
      - seriously? who was the coack? -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 11:58 1
        
        Marty Shottenheimer. George spent a few minutes in the post-game talking about how the team was operated robotically so he heard spike it and did - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:02

- There's a big difference in size between the 5s and the 6. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:19

  - I have an Android tablet and I'm getting the impression that there really aren't many significant apps I use on IOS that aren't in the Play store. -- nm - Max Aug 31, 11:07
- never buy an iPhone in september. My wife needs an upgrade from her 4s so I'm waiting for the 6s to hit so the 5 or 5s used market gets frisky -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:04 20
  - Kim and I will have two to sell if you want one. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:22 13
    - hit me up when you're at that point. Everyone in my house is on a 4s and my wife and son specifically both could use upgrades - oblique Aug 31, 11:27 12
      - FWIW, ATT will give you $200 for the iPhone 4s if you buy a newer phone. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:29 11
        
        don't want to deal with the providers. monthly costs are too much comparatively. Her straight talk service (essentially unlimited) is $45/mo. flat - oblique Aug 31, 11:31 10
        
        AT&T is unlimited talk/text now as well. It was more than T-mobile but not much worse. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:37 9

        You get a $25 discount per line if you have more than 10gb of shared data. - iSpam Aug 31, 11:46 5

        Well, I pay $30/mo avg for the kids two phones on Ting + $45 for my wife but we have to buy our phones (which you have to do anyways) - oblique Aug 31, 11:51 2
        
        That's fine, I was just surprised that it's almost competitive now once you figure out their plans. -- nm* - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:54 1
        
        That is much better than it used to be. This change to making everyone pay for their devices is going to level things out I think -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:56
        
        I'm worried they may try to get me to move to a new plan this year. I have grandfathered unlimited everything. -- nm - fabulous squad Aug 31, 11:50
        
        $145 billed each month or "you're paying $145 but your bill is really 180"? -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:39 1

    - technically it is still August :) -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:21 2
      - Yeah. We were switching back from T-Mobile so AT&T groveled themselves. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 11:23 1
