    - ...cold fusion... -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 06:48

    - Is it a rehash of Perks of Being a Wallflower? I was put off by how post-college these high school kids were. -- nm - Max Nov 21, 07:04 3
      - Blake Jenner is 24 and plays a Senior. The ages just added to the already established un-believable story. -- nm - MDH Nov 21, 07:36

        That one was comical. -- nm - MDH Nov 21, 07:36
I will say what we have always known. Kirk Cousins is better than Aaron Rodgers. - Will Hunting Nov 21, 06:15 2

    - I agree. -- nm - Diva Nov 21, 06:28
FF: SuperFeud: Should win as long as Hopkins/Crabtree don't combine for 30+. Astro need Crabtree/Miller to combine for 45. FJS: Need 50 from Murray - oblique Nov 21, 06:12 4
- I need Crabtree/Murray to get 2+ points to beat the #1 team in my league -- nm - decline Nov 21, 07:08 1
  - 50 fro Murray is what I said :) Crabtree gets zero. -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 07:12
- FF: 3-1 with 1 game left. Goals at this point are 3/5 making the playoffs and #1 seed in SF. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 21, 06:26

59% of Republicans wanted their party to work with Obama in 2008. 32% of Democrats want their party to work with Trump. -- (link) - Reagen Nov 21, 06:09 4
- Before the election I would have viewed this as a general strategic goal if a "regular" Republican had been elected. Now I think they not only have... - Mel Profit Nov 21, 06:18 1
  - "How would he even do that?" "Do you want the fascist sounding answer or the non-fascist one?" - znufrii Nov 21, 06:20
- Someone needed to tell that to congress. -- nm - znufrii Nov 21, 06:18
- It's a "the GOP created gridlock for us, and now we'll do it for them" - MDH Nov 21, 06:11
My dynasty RBs coming into the season: AP, CJA, Gio Bernard. - ML Nov 21, 06:08 6
