The National Review obit on Aretha included this gem: "I might not rate her as the single greatest female vocalist of the rock era - Kelly Clarkson - decline Aug 17, 11:21 8
- Aretha seems like she's gracious enough to say she's honored to be mentioned with such great talent -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:35
- For the record, it's one writer's column, not an actual obituary. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 11:24 1
  - That seems like the thinnest of hairs to split -- nm - Roger More Aug 17, 11:29
- I bet it you asked both, they would be horrified about the comparison -- nm* - Amoxy Aug 17, 11:24
- I'm pretty sure both Clarkson and Rondstadt would be pretty embarrassed to read that -- nm - prayformojo Aug 17, 11:24
- Why on earth would you write that? if you want to say she's in the Top 5 ever, say that. Don't honour other singers above her in in her own obit... -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 11:23
- I mean, Aretha could never pull of The Plow King theme song -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 11:23 1
  - At least, not in Spanish. -- nm - Roger More Aug 17, 11:24
TiVo shares slide more than 4.3% after report that Amazon is planning a live TV recording box that could challenge the company. -- nm - decline Aug 17, 11:16

- why would you want to delete them? -- nm - decline Aug 17, 11:23 2
  - i do. If i am going somewhere new I delete all the crappy old same ones I always get and fill up on new ones, just because. -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 11:24 1
    - oh, that makes sense -- nm - decline Aug 17, 11:25
- it's been that way for a while. -- nm* - Andie Aug 17, 11:20
- I was wondering when they were going to do that. You can only keep 10 at a time though, right? -- nm - CQ Aug 17, 11:05 1
  - yep. -- nm - b. Aug 17, 11:07
They're the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". Don't use the "m-word". -- (link) - Mop Aug 17, 11:00 3
- Yeah... that won't work. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 11:11
- The best is during the press interview the Church rep said "Mormon" twice and had to correct himself. -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 11:01
- Mitt? -- nm - decline Aug 17, 11:00

- very good news! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 11:02
- good news! although if they offer you a bionic ankle, you may still want to consider it -- nm - decline Aug 17, 10:59 2
  - thanks, everyone! I actually asked my ankle doc if there've been any improvements in replacements since I last - b. Aug 17, 11:06
  - true, wouldn't need that old outboard anymore. -- nm - CQ Aug 17, 11:01

Watchmen ordered to series at HBO. -- (link) - Ender Aug 17, 10:50 12
- Let's see if it can come close to the greatness of Synder's one and only masterpiece. -- nm - Jovian Aug 17, 10:53 11
  - What is that? It certainly wasn't the pile of garbage that the Watchmen movie was. -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 10:58
  - Dawn of the Dead is his masterpiece. Watchmen is second. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:58 8
    - Watchmen is *terribly unfun* - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:01 4
      - it adapted the book damn near exactly in tone. so he nailed it. was it to faithful? perhaps. -- nm - Remlik Aug 17, 11:06 3
        
        Its a movie i'll never rewatch. It's as good as it could be given the source. It's not entertaining. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:08 2
        
        Rorschach alone makes it worth a second watch, but I can agree that a third is not necessary. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:10 1
        
        I recently caught it on television and liked it better on the revisit. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 17, 11:14

      - Was expecting BvS on that list! - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:07 1
        
        just because I do not think it is as bad as the rest of you, does not make me insane -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 11:25
  - not a fan of 300? -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 10:55

Mad Dog Mattis, native of WA, says whoever came up with $92 million was "probably smoking something that is legal in my state but not in most" -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:37 9
- The ~$25M bill from DC is getting the attention, but they deal with similar stuff all the time (eg the inauguration, protest marches) and should have - Roger More Aug 17, 10:53 1
  - Your last sentence has been my thought all morning long -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:54
- It's legal in DC FYI, idiot. -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 10:45 4
  - Not idiot Crash, idiot administration. :-) -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 10:46 3
    - I assume it's not legal for any fed/military employee? -- nm - Max Aug 17, 10:51 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Does the federal govt or military drug test? I don't even have an idea if that's legal or not. -- nm - Max Aug 17, 10:57

        I'm actually bad enough I almost want to keep 2 QBs just so I can at least say I have 2 legitimate starters -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:02 7
        
        I can't access the info right now, but I'm sure it isn't that bad -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 11:06 6
        
        Here is only the 2nd worst Astronauts roster. It's abysmal. - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:11 5
        
        I'll trade you Kenyan Drake for your 4th round pick. -- nm - David Aug 17, 11:13 2
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:24 1
        
        Okay. If you'd prefer to keep a pick, we could switch #4 for #2 instead. It's entirely up to you. - David Aug 17, 11:26
        
        Keep both TEs. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:12 1
        
        I would if Witten hadn't retired. - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:13
        
        I'm actually more interested in moving down than up. - David Aug 17, 10:47 6
        
        Well, my actual players are garbage (do I have to keep 5?) so I'll do 4 and your last for 14 and 38 - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:00 5
        
        I'll trade my first and last for your third and fourth. -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 11:04 3

        The one before my second. (I can't access the boards right now) -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 11:07 1
        
        #8 -- I'll let David decide and then circle back. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 17, 11:09
        
        Let me think on it and see what else is out there. -- nm - David Aug 17, 11:02
    - Baker Mayfield because RC will want to trade for him -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:34 12
      - Could I package together Mayfield & Gostkowski for his 1st round pick? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 17, 10:37
      - That would be like drafting a bunch of scrubs from Seattle to take advantage of that fanboy. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:37 10
        
        interesting strategy, I'll look into that -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:38 9
        
        Be careful. You don't want to get stuck with any Seahawks. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:41 8
        
        You're right. The smart play for everyone is not to draft any Seahawks this year. Just let them sit there. -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:43 3
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:47 2
        
        This got buried in this thread. You should tell more people in other threads not to draft any Seahawks this year. It helps them out. -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:52 1
        
        Oh, I do. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:56
        
        I had Tyler Lockett as my PR/KR last year. He was decent. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 17, 10:43 3
        
        Don't draft him! -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:44 2
        
        You'd better grab him in Round 1 then, just in case. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 17, 10:46 1
        
        no, you should let him go through to the free agent process...its for your own good -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 10:47
- awesome, my vacation is next week so I won't miss the weekday drafting this year at least like I usually do. -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 10:28
