    - It asked me to log in with a facebook account when I clicked vote. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 11:15 8
      - They ask for your profile info and email. you can also deselect email. Seemed innocuous enough as far as these things go. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 11:17 7
        
        When I click the "Vote" button I get a pop-up to log in to a Facebook account. Is there another way? -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 14, 11:20 6
        
        You have to log into FB but all they ask for is Profile Info and mention that they won't post to your feed. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 11:22 5
        
        Hence, "(FB)". Which some of us do not have. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 11:24 4
        
        ah, right. I forgot. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 11:32
        
        Maybe you should try Sudo App so you can have FB under a fake identity ... :-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 11:26
        
        you should set up a bogus one just for stuff like this -- nm - decline Mar 14, 11:26
        
        guess the kid isn't getting that bike now :( -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 11:25

Here, take my money. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 14, 11:05 11
- Nice. I've started seeing their 4-seater sedans driving around....they look dumb. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:15 4
  - No dumber than an SUV. - spamlet Mar 14, 11:16 3
    - My sister hated their SUV and went with the Audi. She said the steering wasn't very good which is shocking for a Porsche. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:20 1
      - It was just a rebadged vehicle anyway. VW is dumb. - spamlet Mar 14, 11:21
    - IMO, the SUV isn't as bad as the sedan. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:17
- Normally I dislike them but these are good looking cars. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:13
- I like everything Singer does except the rear tires always look overinflated and stretched to fit on the rim. -- nm - Max Mar 14, 11:07 4
  - What's with the gas cap on the hood? Nice way to scratch the paint filling it up. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:14 2
    - That's assuming you drive them. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 11:15 1

    - Quick, who finished third in MLB last year. - David Mar 14, 11:21 1
      - If you ain't first, you're last! -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:23
    - as opposed to say, someone like Rand Paul or Rick Perry. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:14 4
      - But those are the guys who don't even get token consideration now. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 11:17 3
        
        (both will try to run again, IMO) - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:19 2
        
        Rand has his libertarian constituency to represent, so he's different. Perry has to be done. - Roger More Mar 14, 11:26
        
        Paul will make Quixotic runs until he's a coot, but who's going to give Perry money to run again? -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 11:26
  - "It's good to be the kid." -- nm - History of the End of the World, Part 1 Mar 14, 11:08

  - Jindal's going to be lucky to avoid prison for what he did to Louisiana. -- nm - David Mar 14, 11:08 1
    - I wish this had come out more. I've lost complete respect for him after finding out how he handled education after Katrina. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:13
- I think the fact that he received a lot of attention and became THE GUY for the republican establishment and then still got blown out makes him look - pmb Mar 14, 11:01 1
  - I am completely with you on Part 2 of the IM, which is why I expected him to drop after last week. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:03
- Walker got out early enough, but- what do you think are Huckabee and Jindal's future prospects as national candidates? -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 11:00 2
  - I would expect very very low for both. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 11:02 1
    - It's sort of like asking what a Kobe injury would mean for the Lakers playoff chances. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 11:09

    - Maybe I could get you n00bs over the KF hump finally :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 11:18 3
      - It would be great to play Iron Banner with a teamate that can actually get some kills. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 11:24 2
        
        you should play against yourself then. - groiny Mar 14, 11:25 1

CBS is taking a beating over their two-hour bracket rollout program. -- nm - David Mar 14, 10:32 15
- Even an hour is borderline too much, but 30 minutes is too rushed to give quick analysis. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:46 12
  - does anyone even give a shit about how they picked? -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 10:55 3
    - Yes because it might help explain why some teams were selected and others left out. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 11:05 1
      - 99% of the borderline-bubble teams are going home in round one or two. wasted breath -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 14, 11:07
    - No, but that's the first analysis most people see so a few minutes of predictions/thoughts isn't bad. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:59
  - A half hour roll out show, followed by a 90 minute analysis show would've been fine. Two hours to roll it out is absurd. -- nm - volnelk Mar 14, 10:51 7
    - Meh. I don't want any analyst trying to do that much analysis of something they just learned about. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:52 6
      - Like knowing what they're talking about has ever been a prerequisite in sports commentary? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 10:53 5
        
        But you seek to limit it lest you hate the event. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:54 4
        
        Love it or hate it, you're talking about it, aren't you? - znufrii Mar 14, 10:55 3
        
        Actually, I think less so. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:58 2
        
        Does water being wet make you less likely to drink it? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 11:07 1

- Made worse by the entire bracket leaking halfway through. - Tim Mar 14, 10:34 1
  - that was sweet, sweet comeuppance for that ridiculous stunt - prayformojo Mar 14, 10:35

    - This surprises me. Trump doesn't seem crazy enough for Max. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 10:41 2
      - See, I would say he seems crazy enough, but not in the right ways. -- nm - pmb Mar 14, 10:46 1
        
        And that gets to the root of the Trump problem. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 11:13
  - Backpfeifengesicht for President! -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 10:37
  - but so many aren't endorsing anyone are they? I haven't heard alot about other stars, seems like the fringe areendorsing & the rest are Michael Jordan - Beaker Mar 14, 10:35
  - It's pretty much the people you'd expect to star in Expendables 8 or Sharknado 17 -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 10:34 1
    - of course. If anyone with a shred of substance did, it'd be a little unnerving -- nm - mud Mar 14, 10:36
- Least surprising political news of the day. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 10:30
- Trump linked a picture of a baseball signed by Rose that said "Make America Great Again!" So someone replied with this. -- (link) - Tim Mar 14, 10:30 1
  - That is epic. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 10:55
- Quid pro quo. Trump said last week he should be in the Hall. -- nm - iSpam Mar 14, 10:29 1

- and then he went and put a hundred on him to win. -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 10:28 4
  - and then was powerbombed by Kane. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:29 3
    - n00b. Kane piledrives people not powerbombs. - Shaun Mar 14, 10:30 2
      - granted, I haven't watched that mess of a product in a decade so you have it on me, sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 10:31 1
