One thing that helped Deadpool is the "eye" animation they did. - Spawn Feb 23, 09:12 1
- Agreed. I don't know what line you're talking about, but I do think the eye "emotions" helped a lot. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:04
"Source: Questions have come up with Yovani Gallardo's physical with Baltimore. Status of deal is unclear. O's notorious medical sticklers." -- (link) - ML Feb 23, 09:12 2
- I wonder why -- nm - Albert Belle Feb 23, 09:13 1
  - Even then, he only cost like $12mil in sunk cost given the insurance coverage of 70%. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:15
There was my first Bernie call. They should have asked for Kim instead. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:09 1
- Bernie is big with the women voters! -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 09:10
I sent a Facebook friend request to a woman 3-4 years ago. I used to work with her 15 years ago and then she did some consulting 4 years ago - amoxy Feb 23, 08:56 4
- at least she didn't block you and label your request 'spam' -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 12:51
- yikes -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 09:03
- FB is evil. Sorry. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 09:02
- dayam, sorry man -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 09:01
WWE:damn...Vince dropped an F bomb during his promo with Shane...wonder if they're testing ground since FX got away with it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 08:53 14
- Well, he should fire himself given they canned Brad Maddox for calling people pricks off-air. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:59
- It got bleeped, but still surprising Mr. PG (these days) did it in a live audience setting. Maybe the more extreme nature of TV programming these - pmb Feb 23, 08:55 12
  - If AHS gets away with the stuff they do - WWE should have NO Problem. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 09:08 5
    - It's more that USA doesn't want to be much beyond PG-13 and WWE sees more money in PG - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:09 4
      - Then they should continue doing the thing that makes them the most money. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 09:11 2
        
        Yeah but they then run into the fact adult fans hate it. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:16
        
        The problem with that is the opportunity cost in revenue lost for people over 13. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:13
      - I wonder if Deadpool opened their eyes a bit. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:10
  - it has me wondering. at times they've hinted at going above pg stuff -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 08:56 1
    - They always stretch bounds a bit heading into WM. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:03
  - What are the chances he gets blowback from parents? -- nm - Max Feb 23, 08:56 2
    - meh...it was beeped on air. And the crowd in Detroit was going nuts for it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 09:01
    - Low in the short term. Question is whether it starts to change the nature of the audience and hurts merch sales (a lot of which goes to kids). -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 08:57
  - Also I thought it was interesting how they let Shane expose some of the dirty laundry of how the company isn't doing as great as they like to say. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 08:56
Destiny: Iron Banner returns and Crimson Doubles 320 ghosts should be available at 1pm Eastern. -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 08:51 12

  - Do I hope for the chocolate one or the red one, I don't even know! -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 08:55 6
    - Do we get three or one? I am hoping for red one(s). - Spawn Feb 23, 08:56 2
      - One per account. -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 09:01 1
        
        Oh f-! - Spawn Feb 23, 09:04
    - whatever I get, I am likely to infuse into what I have already. - groiny Feb 23, 08:56 2
      - I'll keep mine. I have a 320 Int/Disc ghost now, so I'm good. -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 09:02 1
        
        The varied numbers annoy me on them, though. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 09:07
  - I couldn't even log onto Live last night -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 08:53 3
    - Weird. Of late, my X-Box was taking 10-15 seconds to log in. Last night, it was immediate. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:58
    - dude, you need to move where internet is not powered by squirrels. -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 08:55 1
      - Live was having issues last night when I checked the status -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 09:03
Bernie has won the coveted Spike Lee endorsement -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 23, 08:49
Cookie crisis as St. Louis archbishop questions Girl Scout values. -- (link) - znufrii Feb 23, 08:39 3
- I attended a Girl Scouts event last night. Let me tell you, he's fighting a losing battle. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 08:44
- obviously they should be in the kitchen making the cookies, just not out selling them. Slippery slope from that to being a hooker -- nm* - Beaker Feb 23, 08:43 1
  - first they start chipping with chocochips, then they slide down thin mints all the way to birth control pills, slippery slope, more like a luge track -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 12:54
Dante Fowler refs fight between mother of his child and his current lady friend. -- (link) - David Feb 23, 08:37 2
- the lives of some people just astound me -- nm* - ML Feb 23, 08:48
- "I want to see a nice clean fight..." -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:46
Ex-step daughter: well 3rd time may be the charm, they had to put off meeting up twice... - Remlik Feb 23, 08:23 20
- good luck, you're a good man even if you don't know crap about Studio 60 -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:28 18
  - You know I'm right. why do you want to side with evil? -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 08:36 17
    - My analysis is simple. If Amanda Peet was in it, it was a good effen episode. -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:39 16
      - I love Stockholm Syndrome where you fall for your captor. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:39 15
        
        It's amazing to me how much people misread this. - David Feb 23, 08:45 1
        
        I watched a couple of episodes and the characters never grabbed me. Just felt too much like a WW ripoff - amoxy Feb 23, 09:02
        
        Shoot the relationship between the Perry and Paulson character was him and Chenworth -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 08:44 7
        
        I didn't really mean to hijack a thread about something going on in your life :) - crash davis Feb 23, 08:51 6
        
        oh no worries! -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 09:04
        
        I refuse to take sides in the Studio 60 Civil War. I am not even sure who is on what side and what the rift is. - Spawn Feb 23, 09:00 4
        
        I think it is: Was it good only at the end (Remlik) or good all the way through (David)? -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 09:02 3
        
        Or really, faded quickly after a dynamite pilot? (Hunting). - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:03 2
        
        I will throw your side out of this war for being pixie-like but will have to contemplate the other two. - Spawn Feb 23, 09:06
        
        the pilot was amazing. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 09:04
        
        he likes putting pathos in relationships, look at the relationship missteps on SportsNight -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:43 4
        
        I liked Perry/Paulson's relationship even as it was willy-nilly. The Peet / Josh Lyman one is textbook fubar'ed. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:46 3
        
        You know, I really did like Weber on that show, he should get more work. (Maybe he does, and I just don't see it) -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:48 2
        
        He has worked *a lot* lately. He's in Helix, NCIS: New Orleans, iZombie, and Chasing Life. - David Feb 23, 08:51 1
        
        ah, thanks - those are shows I don't watch. I have seen the odd ep of NCIS:NO but not on a regular basis -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:56
- Thanks (was wondering). Good luck. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:26
PUJOLS! -- (link) - budice Feb 23, 08:13 32

  - *bids 125* -- nm - Someone who didn't set pre-rankings Feb 23, 08:33 1
    - 1..2...24.....81. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:34
- do teams put the names above the locks in case the players forget who they are? -- nm - decline Feb 23, 08:24 3
  - Employees oftentimes deliver things to the lockers. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:25 2
    - when the steroid truck shows up you should see how excited they all get -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:26 1
      - or the Deep Fryer truck in the case of Pablo Sandoval "I'll have 12 deep fried butter sticks please" -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:27
- Looks like he lost some weight -- nm - Flavorize Feb 23, 08:23 24
  - *Blank stare* -- nm - Pablo Sandoval Feb 23, 08:27 22
    - And here is who found the lost weight. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:32
    - He better hope they win a lot this year if he doesn't do well individually... - Mel Profit Feb 23, 08:29 19
      - Thanks for taking him off our hands! - amoxy Feb 23, 08:42
      - Price hates being in Boston and nothing is going to convince me otherwise. I'm oddly at ease about the Jays' chances of winning the division again. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 08:35 14
        
        How do we know Price hates Boston already? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:37 6
        
        Mikey Price. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:53
        
        I think there were rumors he didn't want to come here but the extra money convinced him. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 08:52 4
        
        How bad does Hanley have to be in the OF that he couldn't man Left Field? FFS, Manny did that better. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 09:01 1
        
        He literally may have been the worst LF I've seen at Fenway. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 09:10
        
        he looks like he ate Mo Vaughn -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 08:53 1
        
        And then this was his desert. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 23, 08:55 [Image]
        
        Bautista wants to get "paid" -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:37 4
        
        is he like 38 now? -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 08:38 3
        
        35 -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:39 2
        
        *checks the Hispanic conversion table* - groiny Feb 23, 08:40 1
        
        Nah. Young miles on those legs because he got so screwed around by Rule 5 and waiver claims in his 20s. Didn't start logging serious innings until... - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 09:04
        
        I get that sense as well. He's saying all the right things for now. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 08:36 1
        
        I think you guys are up for our home opener series. I won't be satisfied until all the baseballs end up in the seats. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 08:38
      - He's just hoping there is pot roast with all those sharp knives around. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:35
      - his attitude is terrible. - groiny Feb 23, 08:31
      - i believe he uses a pitchfork come feeding time -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:29
    - that is hilarious. - groiny Feb 23, 08:28
  - with his foot issues, he should have. -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 08:26
GOP wakes up to Trump nightmare -- (link) - budice Feb 23, 08:12 9
- It's crazy to me how big of a lead he has in the MA Gop race. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 08:16 4
  - also, I heard he's toned it down some. Instead of shooting someone he's just going to punch people in the face. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 08:21 2
    - but the knife has been dipped in pig's blood though right? -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 08:25
    - As long as they are carried out on a stretcher, he is good. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:22
  - Trumpmageddon! -- nm - decline Feb 23, 08:18
- was it in the one where he was wearing clown makeup and chasing them with a butcher knife? -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:14 2
  - It was the where he was wearing Sun God robes and thousands of naked women were throwing little pickles at hin -- nm - TWuG Feb 23, 08:21
  - That would be far better than the reality. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:17
- Split Baby, Split! -- nm - Votes Feb 23, 08:13

- Is there a quote from him? -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:11 2
  - no, stupid CNN didn't get his side from his own mouth -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 08:13 1
    - That right there is bad journalism. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:14

    - I get the feeling that marriage existed to exist and wasn't much of anything. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:34 1
      - Right. If it's true, this is one of the nicer ones of these to date. -- nm - David Feb 23, 08:38
    - If she's not involved enough in the marriage that she didn't know her husband was paying for an apartment and private school... - spamlet Feb 23, 08:31
    - That was my exact point. Why reward someone you know is not nice instead of someone more deserving? -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 08:31
    - I'm not saying it's always the best choice, mind you. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 23, 08:30
    - My guess is the wife feels guilty she wasn't crushed by her husband's death, and even more guilty that the mistress was. -- nm - Inigo Feb 23, 08:27 1
      - I didn't look at it that way - very possible. good point. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 08:29
- but is it a real letter? - Epiphany Feb 23, 08:15
