Marky Mark left the game early, missed the comeback and blamed it on his kids. -- (edited) - Diva Feb 6, 06:45 8

- Haha to IM -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:45
I can't believe there isn't one more republican that cares about public education and will vote no. This cabinet pick is killing me. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:40 8
- I can. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 6, 06:42 7
  - Three! There aren't three that care about public education? I know there's more but it seems only two have balls and they're both women. Sad. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:45 6
    - They don't want to be the subject of TrumpRage - ty97 Feb 6, 06:53
    - I'm surprised there are two. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 6, 06:48
    - Republicans don't want an educated electorate. This isn't news. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:46 3
      - I know that in general but I have to think there are a few that don't agree with that stance and actually want our kids getting a quality education. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:47 2
        
        "Our kids" does not equal "Their kids" -- nm - volnelk Feb 6, 06:52 1
        
        I guess I hope they see the big picture and how we need educated people other than their own kids. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:54
Figure the Pats keep Brady a few more years and Trade Garoppolo ala Cassel, etc -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:39
Sookie's ad won the Super Bowl. -- (link) - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:35 2
- She's had a good week! -- nm - JenBro Feb 6, 06:52
- I was meh on the ads. I think talk about McCarthys Spicer routine drowned out any talk about ads. -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:50
Heh, the Google ad apparently set off a lot of Google Homes last night. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 6, 06:34 3
- I'm surprised these things aren't being built with some subaudible tone that tells the devices to ignore the keywords. -- nm - Ender Feb 6, 06:55
- It did not perk up my Pixel. -- nm - Qale Feb 6, 06:44
- Watching the Amazon echo commercials, I really think they modulated the voices saying 'Alexa' to avoid this -- nm - decline Feb 6, 06:37
It's not just the pace of increasing interest rates that the Fed needs to be worried about -- (link) - znufrii Feb 6, 06:26 1
- Everybody go buy your second homes now! Before it's too late! -- nm - decline Feb 6, 06:35
kimberly in my office claims to be allergic to all perfumes except calvin klein obsession. obviously - university of amanda jones Feb 6, 06:21 5
- we had a temp that wore some kind of perfume with "pheromones designed to attract men" - she lasted the length we were required by contract to keep - JenBro Feb 6, 06:54
- My ex had me on CK One for Men -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:36
- we have a lady here like that, gets hard to breathe at times. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:26 2
  - but the fact yours says she is allergic to other kinds of perfume is hilarious -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:27 1
    - right? we share office space with the registrar and she keeps complaining about the perfume of their staff. - university of amanda jones Feb 6, 06:35
If it holds, in 3 hours I'll have finally placed something in a Pokemon Gym longer than a day. Not only that I'm Team Instinct -and- it's my workplace -- nm - Qale Feb 6, 06:20
No Falcons fans at the Vegas airport :( -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:15
Iran has barred the US wrestling team from entering Iran and competing at the World Cup. -- (link) - Krusty Feb 6, 06:15 12
- Sunday, Iran changes its mind (based on the federal judge action) -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 6, 06:21 11
  - Glad to hear that but we need to keep politics and sports separated. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 6, 06:24 10
    - which is what all the Pats' fans have been saying. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:40 5
      - Their politics doesn't matter to me. My team owners are pro-Trump. They still cheated many times which is where most of the hate comes from. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 6, 06:48 4
        
        and as you well know the Jets lead the list on the 'Your Team Cheats Too' chart. Do you need to see it posted here again? -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:49 3
        
        We're second! Finally something we're good at! ;-) Two were serious but the rest minor and common in the NFL. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:52 2
        
        Cheating and winning makes people extra angry about it. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:52 1
        
        mess -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:53
    - If the ban were in effect, wouldn't it stop the Iran wrestling team from coming here? -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:33 1
      - Probably not as they'd get a sports visa. Despite the crazy ban I can't see us banning a sports team from coming here to compete. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:38
    - Wish we could, but there is a long history of them being intertwined -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 06:27 1
      - I know and in just about every instance it was wrong. Sports should and do bring us together. They're almost always good for helping relations. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:30
I'm so bad at this stuff: would you tip people installing a fence? -- nm - kelly Feb 6, 06:12 7
- Only if you ask them to take off their shirts. -- nm - Teddy Baron Feb 6, 06:38
- Give them drinks or cookies or something while they work -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 6, 06:18 2
  - this -- nm - JenBro Feb 6, 06:54 1
    - (when guys were doing my roof - I got coffee/donuts one day - and pizza's pop another day) - JenBro Feb 6, 06:56
- Anything at that cost would be a no - J Feb 6, 06:17
- I wouldn't -- nm - prayformojo Feb 6, 06:13 1
  - this -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:24
I still can't believe it. - Mel Profit Feb 6, 06:08 21
- don't forget the guys who sacked Ryan when they should have run the ball -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:25 15
  - Falcons OT's had a horrible 2nd half. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 06:29 13
    - On the subject of OLs, Pats had a horrid game -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:55
    - Falcons just seemed stunned. Brady also started clicking in 2nd half. No overthrows ala 1st Half -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:44 9
      - yeah, Brady threw about 99 Luftballons in the first 3 quarters. Cuz the Falcons D was so in his face. Then they got tired. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:46 2
        
        Yes and no, I mean ala Edelman catch. They were covered but the WRs no drops and no Brady overthrows. -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:48 1
        
        we may be saying the same thing. he was obvs able to connect better with his receivers later in the game. There were a lot of overthrows earlier. - Diva Feb 6, 06:51
      - We broke him in the first half but their blocking adjustments and a tired defense brought him back to life in the 4th. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:45 5
        
        His passes started clciking and WRs were catching the ball. Distinct difference on 1H. -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:47 4
        
        He was accurate in the first half until Grady Jarrett intimidated him. We just made plays. - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:49 3
        
        Pressure yes, but thwre were 2-3 1st half oppps where QB and WR were wide open and overthrown -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:52 2
        
        Right because we scared him out of form. I actually predicted the pick six before it happened. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:54 1
        
        ATL Defense was walking over Brady like a Bear rug. Pats OL just bad. -- nm - budice Feb 6, 06:58
    - and their defense was tired playing those 100 or so snaps. You could see them getting into their crouches slowly. - Diva Feb 6, 06:34
    - Schroeder got hurt and Mack was already playing with a broken leg. Injuries took a toll in the game. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:32
  - that was huge. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:28
- Congratulations, man! (NM) - Marlowe Feb 6, 06:09
- It was the karma of David Tyree returned. - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:08 3
  - They don't need or deserve good karma after all the cheating. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:16
  - when you look at it it's even more improbable... - Mel Profit Feb 6, 06:15 1
    - iirc he barely had it and either the fingers on his right or left hand were bent at the knuckle so he didn't have a solid grip -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 06:28
I burned 5,290 calories and gained 1.1 pounds. That's not right. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:06
I don't follow NFL but what Tom Brady achieved in that comeback last night... - Loyola Feb 6, 06:05 7
- was sickening to watch. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:08 1
  - The game was 3/4 glorious art and 1/4 train wreck. It was like rewatching Danny Boyle's "Sunshine." -- nm - Teddy Baron Feb 6, 06:10
- I wonder who will play the villainous Roger Goodell in the movie. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:06 3
  - PSH if he was around. -- nm - Loyola Feb 6, 06:07 2
    - (forget who played him in Concussion) -- nm - Loyola Feb 6, 06:09 1
      - Luke Wilson. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:28
- Team effort. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:06

Bill Simmons did a podcast after the game. THAT should be an interesting listen. -- nm* - volnelk Feb 6, 05:35 2
- I would not listen to that for less than $100. -- nm - Teddy Baron Feb 6, 05:48 1
  - $1k minimum. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:02

- It's mind boggling (to me) that she would view him as wanting to serve those under him - ty97 Feb 6, 05:37 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - It's a legitimate "what colour is the sky in your world?" moment. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 05:55
    - I do wonder if the women Trump paid to have abortions came forward as rumored, if that would have changed people's minds about him. - Inigo Feb 6, 05:44 2
      - [deleted]
      - not in the least -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:47
If it's that easy to get Trump to sign stuff he hasn't read and doesn't understand, Pence could be president tonight. - TWuG Feb 6, 05:34

Congrats to all the Pats fan on ST. At 28-3, I thought the game was over. Sorry to David and all the Falcons fans on ST. - Inigo Feb 6, 04:17 1
- I'm in a great mood, folks. Don't worry about me. - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:05
Former NOAA Scientist: "Pause-Buster" paper in 2015 based on misleading, unverified data, both sets of data flawed -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 6, 04:01 2
- any paper which lacks peer review is suspect obviously. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 6, 05:15 1
  - It's the Daily Mail. I'd question their reporting on whether water is wet. -- nm - TWuG Feb 6, 05:29
Win probability chart from last night's SB -- (link) - Flavorize Feb 6, 03:42 3
- All they needed was 1 FG after the missed onsides kick or the Julio catch. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 04:02 2
  - (run the ball 3 times; rather than passing, getting sacked and then the holding penalty) -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:18 1
    - Yep. Three knees and a FG and they win. -- nm - volnelk Feb 6, 05:32

Is hangman a racially insensitive game? -- (link) - Mop Feb 6, 00:59 9
- To her? Probably. - znufrii Feb 6, 06:19
- Maybe if it was called 'Lynch Mob', but it's not. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:05
- No. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:00
- The headline is going for the sizzle, but the alleged retaliation for reporting improper deductions is the real story. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 05:45 1
  - of course. -- nm - Diva Feb 6, 06:39
- It's not, and I get the winking humor of the question, but (nm but ... I don't know, trigger-warning thoughts inside) - landbeck Feb 6, 04:45
- Probably not, but if you feel that way you shouldn't be fired for it*. - Roger More Feb 6, 04:29

- Said it was worth sticking with -- nm - LMS Feb 6, 07:28
- Really? - Beryllium Feb 5, 23:23 1

See any good ads? or really bad ones? Cast your vote. Most seemed pretty average to me. - GregW Feb 5, 21:09 6
- I thought a lot of ads were terrific. The Stranger Things one made me mark out. - David's iPad Feb 6, 06:08
- The Hyundai one with soldiers family. The Kia one with MM. Airbnb #webelong. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 21:45
- I haven't seen many, but I liked the Melissa McCarthy one -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 21:35
- Dorito's was missed. I liked the Coke ones. Not that they were so great, just that I liked the tone of them. The Bai was great, and liked the Honda Yearbooks. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 5, 21:25 2
  - I really liked the yearbook ad too ... both for the message - but also so cool how they made them talk! -- nm - JenBro Feb 6, 05:26

I dunno, I did watch a little bit of MacGyver and I did formerly watch H50 ... maybe I could go back. - Beryllium Feb 5, 20:57 2
