Go out of bounds Carr@ - Amoxy Dec 17, 20:45 1
- yikes. and then Beast Mode does his thing. -- nm - Diva Dec 17, 20:47
Unconscionable error by Carr -- nm - Rollo Dec 17, 20:45 2
- It looked like he threw the ball into the end zone -- nm - Amoxy Dec 17, 20:46 1
  - He did basically. He cost his team a chance to (tie, then) win -- nm - Rollo Dec 17, 20:49
That was a unique measurement -- nm - Amoxy Dec 17, 20:25 2
- It's a game of index cards. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 20:26 1
  - Heh -- nm - Amoxy Dec 17, 20:27

BF: spamlet and I are 50/50 right now. I have Lynch and Crabtree, he has Dak. He has 4 point lead. - Spawn Dec 17, 19:59 1
- That helped. -- nm - Spawn Dec 17, 20:02
Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey was hit in the head on the Raiders' kickoff return and is getting checked out for a concussion -- nm - budice Dec 17, 19:53

- Sneak any boys in? -- nm - Spawn Dec 17, 20:00 1
  - Not yet. - ReluctantCynic at Home Dec 17, 20:09
This is where I come out on the Steelers not-catch. -- (link) - Volnelk Dec 17, 19:40 2
- I think effort should be rewarded. Im all for the loosest interpretation of catch rules. One foot is good enough, and so on. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 19:44 1
  - The problem with that interpretation is when that receiver gets hit and fumbles. - Volnelk Dec 17, 19:47
Most of the way through The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and I wouldn't have to know it's the same creative force behind Gilmore Girls... - Cuzzin Todd Nog Dec 17, 19:26 1
- so good. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 19:32

- Saw that, so awesome -- nm - budice Dec 17, 19:24
Rewatching Age of Ultron, the first half at least is more impressive than I remember. And Ultron is a lot more intimidating than Thanos appears to be. -- nm - Max Dec 17, 19:23 2
- Yeah, I have watched it in total twice and then bits a few more times. I was not as down on it as some but it does improve some with age. -- nm - Spawn Dec 17, 19:29
- I guess I should give it a rewatch sometime. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 19:25
A Christmas Story Live starts horribly. -- nm - David Dec 17, 19:15 4
- This is my shocked face. -- nm - Bacon Dec 17, 19:21
- And then keeps going horribly. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 17, 19:18 2
  - Did they turn it into a musical? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nog Dec 17, 19:30 1
    - I watched long enough to see they actually had Matthew Broderick (narrator) standing in the scenes. Weird. -- nm* - Spawn Dec 17, 19:34
So power went out at Atlanta airport around 1pm ET. Basically everything since then has been canceled but - ty97 Dec 17, 19:14 7
- Ive been snowed in on the Newark Tarmac for 4 Hours before. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 19:23
- Have they explained yet what went wrong? Hard to believe the whole system would be out that long. -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 19:21
- awful -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 19:19
- American airports are the worst. -- nm - mafic Dec 17, 19:18 3
  - I dunno. Even with power, King Fahd International Airport (Dammam, Saudi Arabia) is pretty miserable -- nm* - JD Dec 17, 19:39 2
    - it's my sweeping generalisation that most American airports I've been to are not particularly nice. I had a layover in Dallas once and it was good - mafic Dec 17, 20:13
    - In 1967 the terminal at Roberts Field, Monrovia, Liberia was in a Quonset hut. We've come a long way :) -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 20:12
P.Diddy offers to buy the Panthers -- (link*) - budice Dec 17, 18:21 1
- Two generous rappers in one night. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 18:56
If you’re in the market for an NFL team, you’re in luck. -- nm - Mop Dec 17, 17:39
Speaking of Nick, he's taken to freestyle rapping to himself. He...is no Eninem. - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:36 15
- Not related: your Marriage Pact book recommendation...spot on - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 18:42 2
  - Right? (Spoilers) - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 18:49 1
    - Agreed to IM could be beefed up in a script -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 18:54
- Haha! He's a generous rapper. That's nice for a change. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 18:33
- Just needs a snappy comeback - budice Dec 17, 17:39 10
  - I tried that, but he was having none of it. Then he tried to tell me a bunch of Yo Mama jokes that made no sense. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:42 9
    - Did you try clarifying you were his mother? -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:44 8
      - I told if he was going to try to talk smack about his grandma, he better come at me with something better than that weak sauce. nm -- (edited) - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:46 7
        
        If anything, it seems like you have a special advantage there. -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:48 6
        
        "Yo mama's so nice she pays all the bills." nm - Dignan Dec 17, 17:49 5
        
        As I mentioned on FB, he also acts as his own hype man by periodically yelling "OH! WHAT AN INSULT!!" nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:50 4
        
        He's clearly got the Chuck D part nailed down (Chuck is one of a very few rappers who would conceivably pay your bills). No reason not to be Flav too. -- nm - Dignan Dec 17, 17:54 3
        
        Unfortunately for my future as a Momager, most of his non-bill related lyrics seem to revolve around people eating poo. - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:57 2
        
        To be fair, a good number of popular hip hop songs do mention making people eat shit. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 18:35
        
        In Trump's America I'm not sure people are demanding a whole lot more than that. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 18:03
I need Dak to do well enough to win me Astro but not too well to lose my money league. -- (edited) - spamlet Dec 17, 17:30

- Ubik - Phillp K Dick -- nm - JD Dec 17, 19:15

- The Marriage Pact - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 18:44

- Dear Daughter (really good) and The Cases that Haunt Us (good up until the BS Jon Benet theories). nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:32

Hmm, got home and remembered I'd left a pile of orange peel on the porch rail at the Schnitger House. Guess I can clean it up on Tuesday :/ - Meg Dec 17, 17:23 1
- Similarly, I took home one of the devices we use to scan items at work. No biggie, I’ll bring it to work tomorrow. -- nm - Qale Dec 17, 17:30
Steelers scored a TD and then celebrated by re-enacting ending Burfict’s season. Trash. - Volnelk Dec 17, 17:21 15
- NFL Officiating released this explanation of the Reversal of a Catch and TD on the Steelers last drive. -- (link) - budice Dec 17, 17:24 12
  - That's a TD. Their rule is wrong and should have been changed a while ago. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 18:38 6
    - I disagree. If he had dove to make the catch, had it in his hands, knees hit but when the ball hits the ground, it came out, it wouldn’t be a catch. - Volnelk Dec 17, 18:49 5
      - The way I see it is he makes the catch, his knee is down and then the ball crossed the goal line. TD. - Krusty Dec 17, 18:54 4
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Dec 17, 19:05 3
        
        Not for me. He didn’t catch the ball because when he hit the ground, it comes out of his hands. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 17, 19:37 2
        
        Same as ground can’t force a fumble. I get that you hate the Steelers, but this is about a play, not a team. - David Dec 17, 20:21
        
        yeah, but the Pats... -- nm - Diva Dec 17, 19:42
  - Knee's down. Elbow's down. He has control. They have a stupid rule that they haven't been able to fix in seven years. -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:39 3
    - Sterling Shepard and the Giants got hosed even worse. -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 18:22
    - It's horseshit. Just like the tuck rule. -- nm - Bacon Dec 17, 18:05 1
      - And somehow the Patriots always wind up on the lucky side. -- nm - David Dec 17, 18:09
  - Yep. Not a catch. I didn’t think it was while I was watching live. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 17, 17:37
- Dude. -- nm - Diva Dec 17, 17:22 1
  - Exactly. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 17, 17:35
I know half of it is his entrance theme, but geez Bobby Roode is over. -- nm - Tim Dec 17, 17:20
In wake of allegations, Carolina Panthers Owners Jerry Richardson says team is for sale. -- (link) - budice Dec 17, 17:12 1
- Steelers WR Antonio Brown has a partially torn calf muscle, per source. Unlikely to play next week -- nm - budice Dec 17, 17:15
I’ve had a lot of caffeine today -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 17:04 1
- Late Late Late Show with Bery -- nm - budice Dec 17, 17:06
Amnoxy, we aren't done yet. If Julio puts up big numbers I may pull it out -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 16:51 3
- Jones can score 14.5 points more then Sanu and I will still prevail - Amoxy Dec 17, 17:48 1
  - of course half my score would almost win against the other 2 Cavemen :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 17:52
- Are we still doing phrasing? -- nm - David Dec 17, 16:56
NINERS!!! - Amoxy Dec 17, 16:41 10
- that ruined my perfect pick em week - Reagen Dec 17, 17:12 8
  - That was my first miss of the week, too. I need not to bet against Shanahan. -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:36 7
    - Garoppolo! -- nm - Dano Dec 17, 17:48 6
      - They're going to have an interesting decision at the top of the draft now. -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:52 5
        
        They've worked themselves out of the top 5 at this point anyway. -- nm - Dano Dec 17, 17:54 4
        
        Currently #4, but they're one win away from 7 or 8. -- nm - David Dec 17, 18:05 2
        
        The Pats #2 pick keeps falling as long as the 49ers win -- nm - Bacon Dec 17, 18:06 1
        
        The weird part is that Houston's collapse means Cleveland might pick twice in the top 5. - David Dec 17, 18:08
        
        might be a great opportunity to trade down for QB hungry teams. -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 17:55
- Hell yes!! Lynch saved the team. That last minute trade was worth it! -- nm - Bacon Dec 17, 16:42
I'm now picturing Little Spock deadpanning: "That all you got? Come at me, Old Man." nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 16:39 17
- yep. -- nm - Diva Dec 17, 16:47
- threatening the blankee got some traction - Reagen Dec 17, 16:47 15
  - Yeah, ours has no fear of consequences. It's...not helpful. -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 17:33 1
    - Don't threaten them with abstractions like Santa Claus. Threaten them with something much more tangible and ominous. Like Robert Mueller. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 17:35
  - When Nick was about 4, we got him a little training bike... - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 16:52 12
    - I hope he quoted C.S. Lewis: "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." nm - Dignan Dec 17, 17:25 4
      - like the GOP tax bill? -- nm - mud Dec 17, 17:29 2
        
        More like net neutrality. nm - Dignan Dec 17, 17:33 1
        
        or a dozen other 2017 horrors -- nm - mud Dec 17, 17:38
      - Then he chained himself to the couch and started singing "We Shall Overcome." nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:29
    - My parents threatened to throw out my bike over something around 4. I dragged to the curb myself -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 17:20
    - an uncle had this. got his kid the ugliest helmet he could find, then said 'oh, you don't like your helmet? pick one out you do like.' -- nm - mafic Dec 17, 17:01
    - good lord -- nm - mud Dec 17, 17:00 4
      - He's a nice kid. He's just got iron will. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 17, 17:06 3
        
        I think this had much more impact on oldest, even though she wasn't in trouble - Reagen Dec 17, 17:28 1
        
        You've made my day with your parenting discussions. -- nm - David Dec 17, 17:43
        
        I'll say. -- nm - mud Dec 17, 17:17
I need Alfred Morris to come down with 4 hour butt flu and Matt Ryan to ingest some super soldier serum. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 16:35
There’s no way the Steelers/Pats game was more exciting to people watching the game than our table checking their phones. - David Dec 17, 16:34 3
- Refresh refresh REFRESH -- nm - JD Dec 17, 16:36 1
  - You have NO idea. - David Dec 17, 16:37
- Definitely interesting on the replay -- nm - budice Dec 17, 16:36
Jimmy G 3-0 for the 9ers -- nm - budice Dec 17, 16:34 2
- Robbie Gould just saved my money league -- nm - Amoxy Dec 17, 16:37 1
