- Wish I could find it, on Twitter, but someone put pictures of all the blonde women that work for FOX (30 or so of them), and caption that Fox can tell - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:50
- I think someone at Fox does things like this sometimes just to troll -- nm - ty97 Aug 20, 11:45 1
  - I think Occam's Razor -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:46

So in a league where you can only keep a player 1 year (after the year he's drafted) but can keep Rookies a total of 2 years, I picked Barkley over - IrishStephen Aug 20, 11:41 4
- QBs should never be drafted in the first round. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:42 3

- I don't understand why Eagles fans need to bother buying an album. Don't half the FM stations have it on a continuous loop? -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 11:37 2
  - not anymore. They're dropping off playlists except for Hotel California. Plus the tour they just did I'm sure goosed sales. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 11:39 1
    - Let me have my joke. -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 11:43
- better let Spawn know -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:34
I watched the first episode of the new Lost in Space last night while playing Destiny. Not bad. It has potential. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 20, 11:33 6
- I really liked it...spoils... - Remlik Aug 20, 11:40
- I didn't feel it every reached that potential (I quit after about 5 eps) -- nm - decline Aug 20, 11:37
- I liked it. Especially Mrs. Robinson -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:33 3
  - yup. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 11:40
  - Wo wo wo. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:35 1

Hmm - SiriusXM and my dealer thank me for having my car serviced last month and want to give me a 2-month trial subscription. -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 11:17 4
- I got that last year, absolutely no strings attached (i.e. they start charging you when it expires) -- nm - Tim Aug 20, 11:47
- If you enjoy it, threaten to cancel and you can usually negotiate it down to $5-6/mo. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:18 2
  - I got 90 days when I bought the car and never used it. I just don't drive enough to justify it. -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 11:26 1
    - Just wonder what it's worth to Nissan to promote it? -- nm - Meg Aug 20, 11:46
FF: Dynasty League. 1st round pick. Who are you taking of the following list of players? - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:17 15
- Barkley #1--I'm off of Hunt--felt him sputter in some easy games, last year--Gordon can be hit-or-miss--I feel like he's a 2nd rounder--the rest are - Flavorize Aug 20, 11:53
- Barkley, Hunt, Julio, Hopkins, Beckham...assuming Josh Gordon........about 50 other people....Josh Gordon. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 20, 11:47 2
  - Melvin -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:48 1
    - Move him up to 5th then. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 20, 11:50
- Beckham, Hopkins, Barkley, Hunt, Gordon, Julio is my order. - Volnelk Aug 20, 11:22
- Are there any benefits to a WR over a RB or vice versa? -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:19 8
  - RB's are slightly more valuable than the WR's due to position scarcity -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:21 6
    - I was more aiming for in BF we now only start one RB and more WRs so position scarcity isn't as big a deal. -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:22 4
      - This is not BF. Assume 1 RB, 1 WR and 3 FLEX. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:23 3
        
        Julio is aging, Barkley hasn't proven anything yet, and Gordon is a flake. That is bottom of my list -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:27 2
        
        I'm a Barkley guy. - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:29 1
        
        I've been burned so often on rookie hype that I hate rookies -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 11:31
    - (and obv WR you can usually depend on a longer career) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:21
  - One wears out faster. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:20
- Your list is very close to my order of pref. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:17
Superfeud question: Am I already supposed to be in a yahoo league? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:13 6
- I just know that my team is signed up for it again - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 20, 11:15 5
  - Yeah, I think that was my confusion, too. - IrishStephen Aug 20, 11:17 4
    - Yep. I just realized that Yahoo changed their auto-renew settings from when I did it last year. I just deleted the other teams and sent sign up to... - Name Withheld by Request Aug 20, 11:23 3
      - I just thought of an idea for a new league...The Blood Feud Toilet Bowl league. Bottom four teams from each league qualifies. - IrishStephen Aug 20, 11:24 2
        
        I'm totally in favor of this. Mediocrity is its own reward, let's have fun at the ends of the Bell curve! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 20, 11:29 1

  - "Wha.....?" -- nm - Shocko Aug 20, 11:28

What's the type of pepper I'm getting in my food truck kabob boxes - pale green, thumb size, less hot than jalapeno? -- nm - Max Aug 20, 10:50 4
- I'm assuming they're pickled? Pepperoncini? -- (link) - Roger More Aug 20, 11:05 1
