    - It's 9:20pm and I just got off a conference call! -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 12:19 3
      - 9:20pm means you should be out enjoying yourself. And vacation = no conference calls. -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 12:20 2
        
        That call was unavoidable unfortunately. But it was the only one* - ty97 Aug 31, 12:21 1

ST Poll: #kilboisoldschool: Do you have a landline? -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 12:09 30
- Yes, but I think our cell service at home is almost good enough that we could get rid of it. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 31, 12:32
- yes for faxing purposes -- nm - Pippy with a bustle Aug 31, 12:28
- Yes. -- nm - Meg Aug 31, 12:27
- Nope. Last time I had one was in 2002. -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 31, 12:22
- Yes. I really don't like talking on cell phones. If I'm going to have a longer conversation I want to have it on a landline. Particularly when I'm - pmb Aug 31, 12:21 1
  - I should add preferences, too - esp. with some cell and voip call quality. - b. Aug 31, 12:25

I am sort of wondering if RG3 will become a chief. He seems like the sort of QB that our coach likes. - TRuMaN Aug 31, 12:03 8
- from what I've read the big sticking point on acquiiring RG3 is the sixe of his contract for 2016 (16.1M) -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:04 5
  - Right. Ain't nobody trading and paying RG3 that for '16, so he'll get cut by the Skins before that comes due. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 12:07 4
    - Maybe the Skins could get a 5th round pick if they offer to pick up half of his salary. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 12:19 3
      - I'd go 6th round and they pick up 3/4s of it -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:21
      - *giggle* -- nm - ML Aug 31, 12:19 1
        
        I've seen owners in this league do some pretty dumb trades. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 31, 12:21
- If you want a lottery ticket, give it a shot. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:04 1
  - Totally stealing "Mirage season" -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 12:08
So since Snyder took oer: 16 QBs, and 8 Coaches. Wow. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 12:01 1

Mike Shanahan: Kirk Cousins will be a top-10 NFL quarterback -- (link) - ML Aug 31, 11:59 23
- Are we talking NFC East, or the entire conference? - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:03 11
  - Considering that Cousins makes Matt "Pick-6" Schaub look like a ball-protecting wizard, I'm dubious he's in the top 30. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 12:06 7
    - Speaking of Pick-6, is he even actually in the league anymore. I seriously do not know off the top. -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 12:07 4
      - Back up for the Ravens -- - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:08 3
        
        I got to see Christian Ponder play last night! Back up to Derek Carr in Oakland, got outplayed by McGloin (sp?) in the backup battle -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:11 2
        
        I pray you didn't pay for the privilege. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 12:20 1
        
        it all depends on whether you think listening to Chris Collinsworth "paying a price" - crash davis Aug 31, 12:23
    - I said 31? on the backboard. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:07 1
      - Fitzmagic is real, so I think he's in the mix with the CLE and HOU horror shows for bottom 3. -- nm - ML Aug 31, 12:08
  - Top 10 QB to start for the Redskins this year. I can see it... -- nm - Shaun Aug 31, 12:04 2
    - I can't wait for this to be about Week 9; he's sucking and hurt...McCoy gets hurt and RG3 comes off the bench to lead the team to a thrilling win. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:05 1
      - That IM is sadly very true. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 12:09
- Mike Holmgren used to say that you wouldn't know how good your QB would be until starts 33-40 or 48 (can't quite remember) - crash davis Aug 31, 12:03 8
  - Yes, but see time has changed, and a good QB would be good from the start (/sarcasm). Everyone thinks there QB is Luck. -- (edited) - TRuMaN Aug 31, 12:05 7
    - on the other side of the 2012 draft, Tannenhill has evolved (perhaps slowly) -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:06 3
      - in a redraft he'd probably go #3 overall - ML Aug 31, 12:09 2
        
        that draft also had Nick Foles in it, I think we'll see what he is made of this season as well -- nm - crash davis Aug 31, 12:15 1
        
        Leading vote-getters: turnovers, glass - ML Aug 31, 12:19

      - There are games when Sliced Bread (Luck) looks like he's got money on the opponents and he's the shining star. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 12:07 1
        
        well, he has not had to deal with serious injury and a broken clubhouse. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 12:09

Since we're on the subject of service providers. +1 for Viatalk again this weekend. Noticed my home phone (VoIP) wasn't ringing so I checked the box - oblique Aug 31, 11:59 15
- This I don't understand. If you have unlimited talk, why do you have a home phone? -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:02 14
  - I don't want junk calls on my cell, which is hardly ever on, and only if I'm away from home. - Covington Aug 31, 12:11 3
    - I get maybe 2-3 junk calls a week on my cell - if you don't recognize the # don't answer it - they never leave messages -- nm - decline Aug 31, 12:17
    - I use google voice for junk calls. it emails me transcriptions. -- nm - fabulous squad Aug 31, 12:16
    - There's truth here too. We give out our home phone for anything but basically never answer it. Goes to voicemail. I suppose that's the same - oblique Aug 31, 12:12
  - We have my wife's old Nexus 4 on a prepaid monthly plan as our 'home phone.' Strangely enough, not everyone has a cell phone. - Shaun Aug 31, 12:06 1
    - My parents have one but only prepaid that they use in the car when travelling. Not that they're here a lot but... -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 12:08
  - legacy. kids, babysitters (not an issue anymore), and it's the number that my wife's private music lessons has used forever - oblique Aug 31, 12:05 6
    - Your IM is what we did with our old home line and it just forwards to my wife's cell number. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:10 5
      - Cellular can go out, though so can Internet but at least I have some semblance of possibility that the VoIP line will work - oblique Aug 31, 12:11 4
        
        Good luck with that :) -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:12 3
        
        At least I can put a UPS on my VoIP ATA and AT&T router (since I have DSL U-Verse) - oblique Aug 31, 12:12 2
        
        As long as the DSL is up... -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 31, 12:13 1
        
        When the zombies attack, we're all doomed anyways -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 12:14
