Eli nor Peyton both played, but neither threw a TD pass yesterday. How many times has this happened since Eli entered the league in 2004? -- nm* - ML Sep 14, 10:06 3
- Board is about to roll: correct answer is 2. The last time was week #17 in 2009 (Peyton only played 1 quarter). -- nm - ML Sep 14, 10:13

Does today's IPO on the other site seem low to anyone else? - Volnelk Sep 14, 10:05 7
- Bigtime. The book is already popular, and it's right on the edge of becoming Gone Girl big. -- nm - MDH Sep 14, 10:12
- I've only heard of the book once (recently). Does not (yet) seem to have the buzz of other book-to-screen films. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:07 4

  - (the second act is a brilliant 45 minutes) -- nm - ML Sep 14, 10:10

Does anyone here work at a company that hosts a forum for employees to post in, for work- and non-work-related stuff? - prayformojo Sep 14, 09:44 3

  - Last season was my favorite since season three. It had brilliant hard sci-fi episodes. -- nm - David Sep 14, 09:54
  - Like most seasons of Who, it's a mixed bag and not everyone likes the same episodes. Capaldi is great though. -- nm - LMS Sep 14, 09:45 1
    - this. Last season was very up and down. A couple of great eps. and a few real stinkers too. -- nm - decline Sep 14, 09:50
  - I would not go that far, but it has taken a step back. -- (edited) - Spawn Sep 14, 09:40
- Which one will be the episode where the Doctor finds himself in a difficult situation, innocent people die, then he steps up and saves the universe? - Mop Sep 14, 09:33
I enjoy the theory that Trump and Carson are doing well b/c they are outsides without government experience. - ty97 Sep 14, 09:27 1

Our long national nightmare is over. Honest NFL Headlines: Week #1 -- (link) - ML Sep 14, 08:36 9
- the shame here, is Cutler played a decent game, but the late pick really soured his performance. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 08:38 8
  - That pick was all about Matthews anyway. He diagnosed the play perfectly and disguised his coverage. - David Sep 14, 09:58 3
    - yes, but not when Cutler is involved. - groiny Sep 14, 10:03 2
      - It's because he's a hard person to like. He never scowls and he hasn't experienced a moment of happiness in his life. - David Sep 14, 10:05 1
        
        see, some would say he baited Cutler into throwing that pick, well, because it is Cutler. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 10:08
  - indeed - I have no issues with what they did yesterday. besides winning of course. - Pippy with chopsticks Sep 14, 08:54 3

        ugh, he almost cost Cutler another pick on the goal line when he did not turn around for a pass. - groiny Sep 14, 09:05
