        If any of them changed their strategy based on trash talk, then no they aren't -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 09:55 5
        
        if you get people to practice 5% harder or devote a bit of extra time to game planning, it is an advantage. - groiny Jan 15, 09:59
        
        I don't think it's much of a secret that at least some of the Steelers were already mentally up in New England. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 09:59 3
        
        Quite unprofessional of them. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 10:23 1

- Whoa. I wonder if it is at all related to the cancellation of their tour last summer -- nm - JD Jan 15, 09:17
- Ugh, that sucks. I was like, "I feel like I know that name..." (The Cranberries lead singer). - JaxSean Jan 15, 09:15 4
  - Unfortunately there's a good chance you're right. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 09:27
  - my first instinct is suicide. :( -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 09:20 2
    - That or drug incident. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 09:24 1

- "NFL: Suck it, St Louis" -- nm - spamlet Jan 15, 08:33

Feedback from first showing of old house: carpet in one bedroom not matching the rest of upstairs turned them off. - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 08:23 17
- usually i'm worried about whether it has a viable sub floor.. i'd be happy if this was the issue. - colin Jan 15, 09:48
- I wonder what complaints those buyers would have for this house. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 15, 09:27
- I'm on team buyer. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:30 11
  - It's not like people will be traipsing through there all the time. So, it doesn't get done for a while. - zork Jan 15, 09:25
  - Yeah, changing carpet is a lot more costly than something like paint colour, which people still get stupidly hung up on. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:39 9
    - I'm fully aware off-the-wall cost. We replaced basement and first floor carpet. There's zero wrong with the second floor carpet - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 08:46 8
      - Let me know when cosmetic changes are free changes - Will Hunting Jan 15, 09:12 6
        
        I'm fine if they ask for an allowance to make the change. But noting it as a reason not to buy is just silly. - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 09:32 1
        
        Yeah, I might ask for it to be changed or so much money off the price. There is something else that they don't like about the place. -- nm - zork Jan 15, 09:41
        
        i'm just always surprised when people think a house they are buying will match their own taste 100% in colour, etc. That just doesn't seem realistic - Andie Jan 15, 09:18 3
        
        Yep. - kelly Jan 15, 10:32
        
        I agree...but if something is not uniform, it's a drawback to many - Will Hunting Jan 15, 09:24 1
        
        Counter point: you need to be prepared to spend money on a house to customize it. - Reagen Jan 15, 10:54
      - I demand granite for that room. -- nm - shithead buyers Jan 15, 08:49
- People will be insane in their comments. Don't let it bug you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 08:26 2
  - coming from you - this is hilarious - Epiphany Jan 15, 09:02
  - Not bugged so much as just bemused. People are so freaking emotional about cosmetic stuff - TWuG, ten-stone griddle-chip Jan 15, 08:52
That defensive play is made worse the by the reality of the throw - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:21 2
- That was kind of a perfect storm moment, because I feel like 9 out of 10 the receiver doesn't get his hand down for balance or steps out of bounds. - Max Jan 15, 08:33
- All he had to do was not completely miss the tackle. - Shaun Jan 15, 08:30

Anyone else turn off the Saints/Vikings game with about 30 seconds left like I did and then not check the score? - Shaun Jan 15, 08:05 4
- I will say I was falling asleep during the last 10 mintues of the game -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 10:09
- Nope. Just you. -- nm - Krusty Jan 15, 08:12 2
  - Thought so. Granted I only tuned in at the 2 minute warning in the 4th so I wasn't heavily invested. -- nm - Shaun Jan 15, 08:15 1
    - :-) I was playing games and watching casually for most of the game. The fourth qt. was a lot of fun. -- nm - Krusty Jan 15, 08:21
Paige should pull a Mark Henry tonight. Say she is retiring, have Sasha could me down feeling bad, and then she just cleans Bank's clock. -- nm - Qale Jan 15, 07:54 7
- I did not read that as ' clock' -- nm - Epiphany Jan 15, 09:04
- rumor is WWE is going to transition her to a non-wrestling role and she won't be leaving the compamny. -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 08:03 5

    - That CDAN article last night had me wondering -- have they ever fired someone for failing the Wellness Program? - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:23 3
      - I want to say yes. but I'm not sure who. Oh Paige isn't going anywhere for at least a year. There's this whole movie coming out about her by the WWE -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 08:43 2

- McDaniels interested in Titans job. -- nm - budice Jan 15, 07:37 3
  - Better HC Job: Colts or Titans? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 15, 07:38 2
    - Titans. They are *hand wavy*. The Colts are a shell of a team with or without Luck. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 08:18
    - Titans. They just made the playoffs and don't have a QB who may or may not be DUN. Mariota with a new offensive philosophy should be much better -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 07:39
- "Mutually" -- nm - spamlet Jan 15, 07:23 1
  - We'll agree not to publicly fire you if you agree to leave. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 15, 07:37
