- That's a feature, not a bug. -- nm - David Aug 18, 12:51

NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4 predictions - Qale Aug 18, 11:09 5

    - "Ertz When I Pee", groiny? or would groiny be "Ertz All Over" -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:12 10

        My count is now 2 -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:27 6
        
        I hate you for counting. - David Aug 18, 11:31 5
        
        Nope, I only count "I hate you people" -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:31 4
        
        Good. Fuck you. - David Aug 18, 11:32 3
        
        still doesn't count -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:32 2
        
        That's why it's a freebie, Crash. -- nm - David Aug 18, 11:36 1
        
        just letting you know that I'm being consistent -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:44

- Ian Rapaport: He’s going to miss several weeks, but no exact timeline yet -- nm* - Strongbad Aug 18, 10:52 7
  - He will be out for 14 Nathan Peterman interceptions. -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:53 6
    - ML drafted him last year as a handcuff for Tyrod Taylor - Strongbad Aug 18, 10:55 4
      - Give him credit for reading the room right. Buffalo clearly likes Peterman. - David Aug 18, 11:04 3
        
        There is some difference between Peterman and Tyrod Taylor. I can't put my finger on it, but evidently Buffalo sees it. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:07 2
        
        Taylor throws more to his own players. Maybe that's what you mean! -- nm - David Aug 18, 11:21
        
        ugh. And of course, Colin Kaepernick is not on a team. -- nm - Diva Aug 18, 11:14
    - So back before Week 1 -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 10:55
Watching a Roomba pathfind is utter madness. It's like watching a drunk trying to find their keys. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:31 1
- Put a whiskey glass on it and watch it stumble -- nm - Budice Aug 18, 10:36
(my little town) Tanker hauling grape juice rolls off interstate near Mountain Home - crash davis Aug 18, 10:10 15
- And this is how we get ants in our range land. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:48
- hopefully the insurance doesn't welch on the coverage. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:21 7
  - Wow, driver could have been crushed, now the insurance company will put the squeeze on him -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 10:55 2
    - He's likely to be in a bit if a jam with his employer -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 11:59 1
      - put a little sugar on it and do the jelly roll -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 13:01
  - Rather than jeer, I'll admit I was looking for something like this when I posted the story. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:28
  - dammit -- nm - prayformojo Aug 18, 10:25
  - Investigators heard it through the grapevine. -- nm - Budice Aug 18, 10:24 1
    - they tend to be sour when filing reports like this -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 10:51
- "It's headed straight for that wedding dress factory!" "Oh man this is gonna be good." -- nm - Max Aug 18, 10:21 1
  - Thankfully it collided with a tanker full of club soda. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:22
- Heh, 20-30 feet of fence damaged, no injuries, no delays, no problem.... -- nm - Meg Aug 18, 10:20 1
  - I gotta problem. If dude wanted to roll his truck, he should have let me have a couple gallons beforehand :) -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:22
- and that thunderstorm I talked about yesterday, 10 different lightning strike fires started - crash davis Aug 18, 10:17
- Juice -- nm - Lochte Aug 18, 10:16
Cop Land is the biggest anomaly of Stallone's career. It gives a hint of what the Rocky/First Blood actor could have been if he didn't cash in. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:07 15
- I've always thought he was a better actor than he's shown. Weirdly I think he showed more talent in Rhinestone and Oscar than other films. -- nm - . Aug 18, 14:37
- There was a great cast in that movie and Stallone did not get lost in it - amoxy Aug 18, 10:37
- nmb crash - Strongbad Aug 18, 10:13 3
  - I appreciate you making the offer. Let me think about it. I'd prefer to deal a WR for a RB or Graham, but I'll give this serious consideration. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:14 2
    - I would also consider - Strongbad Aug 18, 10:15 1
      - will do, thank you -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:15
- Cop Land makes more sense than Rhinestone. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 10:12 2
  - And the character names. Lincoln Hawk. Marion Cobretti -- nm - Budice Aug 18, 10:15 1
    - I wonder how much they had to resist calling him Angelo Coplando. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 11:09
- There's a lot more money in cashing in. -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:10 2
  - I don't disagree. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:10 1
    - "Paycheck, the movie" -- nm - Budice Aug 18, 10:12
- "Ooh Hamburger. Do you see any cows around here?" -- nm - Budice Aug 18, 10:10
- Also: Oscar for his comedic sense -- nm - prayformojo Aug 18, 10:10 1
  - "He's right, you are an ox *and* a moron!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:15
Bad news: second round doesn't reverse. That happens in the third. -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:02 16
- I feel like the Cleveland Browns before the draft - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:17 15
  - I really appreciate your doing that. It was on our to-do list for this afternoon. -- nm - David Aug 18, 10:28 1
    - Indeed, thanks Will. It gives us a few more hours of being ruiners before David snaps. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:30
  - If I had the time, I think an interesting article would be a comparison of Cleveland's drafting this decade and Detroit the previous decade -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:21 12
    - I pick Detroit's for actually being 1st round smarter - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:32 2
      - Charles Rogers over Andre Johnson was their crippler, but it would have been hard to pass on the local kid. - David Aug 18, 10:36 1
        
        Even then, it wasn't even that indefensible -- Rogers was pretty damn good in college and did okay at the combine. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:38
    - There's no comparison because Cleveland's had a historic number of high picks. - David Aug 18, 10:29 8
      - Okay. I keep thinking of that article title "Cleveland is the best 0-16 team in NFL History". And I want to compare the two. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:31 7
        
        For years, analysts swore that Cleveland taking draft picks instead of Julio Jones was the smart move. - David Aug 18, 10:33 6
        
        See, right there is something to discuss, the symbiosis of the WR/QB tandem. Julio, while truly great, still benefits from Ryan more than he would - crash davis Aug 18, 10:36 2
        
        Mike Evans and Johnny Manziel at A&M. We know who was responsible for that success now. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:39 1
        
        I feel if Evans was on a Steelers-like team instead of the Bucs, he and not Antonio would be the consensus 1st pick -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:41
        
        It's also one reason the RG3 trade wasn't quite as bad in hindsight...the Rams didn't launch shit from it. - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:36
        
        Right, the one year they managed to get paid for Sammy Watkins, they turned the picks into Justin Gilbert and Manziel - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Aug 18, 10:35 1
        
        Justin Gilbert is one of those guys where you basically had to not follow college football to draft him. - David Aug 18, 10:37
