*writes an anonymous op-ed on how I am secretly thwarting Beryllium's agenda* -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 09:05 3
- It's not really a secret now, is it? -- nm - Baronarama Sep 6, 09:09 2
  - The secret is - eag Sep 6, 09:11
  - I want credit for heading off a war with HSX -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 09:11

Fox deletes scene from 'The Predator' when Olivia Munn lets them know the scene featured a registered sex offender - Diva Sep 6, 08:55 12
- [deleted]
- Good on Fox for making a quick decision. Black's gotta be able to read the room better. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 09:02 1
  - yep. -- nm - Diva Sep 6, 09:07
- yeah, the details of his arrest are creepy, although I am not sure how I feel about Munn reporting him to the studio, however. -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 09:01 8
  - I disagree. were something to happen and I knew and didn't tell, I would feel responsible. I agree with her thinking it was wrong to hire him and - JenBro Sep 6, 09:17 4
    - he did his time for that incident. It does not say he did anything wrong in filming that small scene. -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 09:18 3
      - understood. I'm saying mistake was the hiring & non-disclosure. Puts others at risk. Also - his comment about "only words" mitigates something that - JenBro Sep 6, 09:25 1
        
        these are 2 different issues. - groiny Sep 6, 09:31
      - I mean, I guess it does not matter as he got paid for it whether it made the cut or not, right? -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 09:22
  - The bad news? His friend plays the Super Predator. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:05 2
    - Pervs gotta eat. -- nm - Diva Sep 6, 09:07 1
      - It would be hilarious if they just cut out all the scenes with the Super Predator (assuming that is the escalation of the story line). -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:08
Ok, so help a brutha - I need a couple sleeper names since I wasted #2 on Le'Veon fucking Bell. Connor not an option, someone grabbed him before me. - NiKlaus Sep 6, 08:45 21
- Thanks for the suggestions - here's who I'm rolling out there right now: Joe Mixon, Royce Freeman at RB. I know. - NiKlaus Sep 6, 08:58 11
  - What are your WR's like that you're not starting Mike Evans already? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 09:03 4
    - Keenan Allen and Tyreek Hill are my starters -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 09:04 3
      - At least you have Freeman to represent Bronco-nation -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 09:06 1
        
        Yeah - was hoping he could just sit on my bench a minute, but without Bell, my RBs are such that the rook needs to get in there! -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 09:07
      - OKay -- solid trio there. I'd sleep comfy with Evans as the flex there. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 09:06
  - rock on, kids...thanks. Can't believe I tempted fate with Bell 2 years in a row. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 09:02 2
    - You can probably sit everyone but Royce--that kid is going to murder the seahawks -- nm - Flavorize Sep 6, 09:08 1
      - Hope you're right...we could use something that resembles an offense. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 09:14
  - Evans -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 09:00
  - Evans--All day--but I think Reed does very well too -- nm - Flavorize Sep 6, 08:59
  - Until a trend to the contrary develop, you gotta play Mike Evans -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 08:59
- Wilkins---Gillisee--Saints have no RBs behind Kamara, except Gillislee, they're going to blow out the Bucs by 20+ -- nm - Flavorize Sep 6, 08:53
- Jordan Wilkins -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 08:50
- Jamaal Williams, L Blount,, Frank Gore -- nm - budice Sep 6, 08:49
- Chris Thompson, Rob Kelley -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:46 5
  - Agree with Thompson. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 08:51 4
    - Ditto--But Thompson won't on any waiver wires for pickup -- nm - Flavorize Sep 6, 08:54 3
      - No - he's already on a team. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 08:55 2
        
        The Colts love Wilkins,and he'll get his 6-8 touches but Gillislee might play an entire quarter+ for the Saints in a game they are just going to pound -- nm - Flavorize Sep 6, 08:57 1
        
        Hyde could be sneaky too -- nm* - Flavorize Sep 6, 08:58
Now, i don't think they win again, but the Eagles are absurdly low in Vegas odds - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:32 3
- They should be 10-1 in the same tier as the Saints and Rams -- nm - rollo Sep 6, 08:38 1
  - I'd bring Minnesota up there too. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:40
- I think I've told you before about the time I went to Vegas and rode in from the airport with a guy all decked out in Rams gear. - crash davis Sep 6, 08:38
LYC: So yesterday, the hospital here in town again denied accepting Trish. Their story this time is that the one on-site physician they felt could - crash davis Sep 6, 08:25 16

- all my best luck with the new hospital -- nm - peglegpete Sep 6, 09:19
- good thoughts for an exceptional outcome and that she's home soon! -- nm - JenBro Sep 6, 09:19
- Fingers crossed - LMS Sep 6, 08:44 1
  - Clay and Gemma got to go home yesterday. They were so happy. They liked Trish and would talk to her. The screamer was in danger though. -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 08:46
- I hope it all goes well -- nm - Epiphany Sep 6, 08:41
- ugh. well, at least it will be a (hopefully) big step up from where she's at now. -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 08:34
- Best of luck and continued good and healthy thoughts for Trish. - Krusty Sep 6, 08:32 4
  - Thanks all. Currently the plan is three more weeks in this new place -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 08:34 3
    - I am so sorry, my friend. That drive has gotta be *draining* you. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:37 2
      - It would be so much easier if they would just stop idiots from driving on the same roads as I do. -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 08:39 1
        
        Right? -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:40
- best wishes -- nm - mud Sep 6, 08:29

- Such pieces of poop. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 08:27
Six months after getting a concussion Clint Frazier is still dealing with symptoms and is done for the year. - Krusty Sep 6, 08:23 4
- Corey Koskie comes to mind... His career was ended because of concussions. -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:31
- Such a shame, he could have shined this season. - Jovian Sep 6, 08:24 2
  - Severino is broken and needs to call Pedro asap. The team has so many problems that can't be fixed even with Judge. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 08:28

- this is Bizzaro World -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 08:21
- WTAF? - Epiphany Sep 6, 08:20 8
  - This is a Twitter bot that takes his Tweets and puts them in that form since it has been decided that his Tweets are official statements. - crash davis Sep 6, 08:41
  - to be fair I think that was a tweet... that site reposts his tweets as "statements from the president" as commentary -- nm - rollo Sep 6, 08:41 3
    - Since it's been stated my someone (SHS?) that his tweets are "official communication". -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:44 2
      - Exactly. Everything he says should be weighted exactly the same as everything else. - Spawn Sep 6, 08:45 1
        
        "the human head weighs 8 pounds" -- nm - mud Sep 6, 08:46
  - All he cares about is what dictators think. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:22 2
    - yep -- nm - mud Sep 6, 08:36 1

Alexa (and Cortana) can now control your Xbox -- (link) - oblique Sep 6, 08:05 13

    - I know David dislikes them but the bows are hella-cool. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:14 5
      - that is not a draw for me either. I hated using the Nightstalker Hunter bow. -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:15 4
        
        You can ADS with the bows, so it's not like the Nightstalker Shadowshot. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 08:23 2
        
        Yup. I maxed a bow out and it now has max range. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:28 1
        
        Logan walked in last night in time to go, "Boom, head shot! Boom, head-shot!" -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 09:06
        
        I hated it when it was two-shot-and-done situation. But this is pretty cool. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:17
  - ... actually, I wonder if I can do that friend share thing? -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 08:09 2
    - Can the bots play the games for you. Mine artifacts and such -- nm - budice Sep 6, 08:12 1
      - Alexa-PoGo integreation would break some Ineternet -- nm - budice Sep 6, 08:13
This Booker email thing seems to be a big deal. Sen. Hirono is also releasing it. That's 2 Dem Senators who could be kicked out of the Senate -- nm - decline Sep 6, 07:55 10
- It's like some sort of crazy competition on who can make the grandest gesture of resistance. So, yeah, election prep. -- nm - Baronarama Sep 6, 08:21

- Then apply the rule and bring the charges. Bring it. nm - NiKlaus Sep 6, 08:00
Forsaken is looking like Destiny 2's The Taken King. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 6, 07:46 2

If you can't spell Russell, you should trade Russell. -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 07:36 3

How many times can you say that you are so sick of something? Active shooter in the 5/3 bank building downtown Cincinnati where two of my friends work - Volnelk Sep 6, 07:33 8
- And yet, I keep reading in my FB feed that public shootings of firearms (shooting sprees) are less prevalent in the US than... somewhere else, anyway - Facto Sep 6, 08:19 1
  - They don't happen anywhere civilized with any frequency. The only people saying this are either in war-torn 3rd world nations or liars. -- nm - Bill Belichek Sep 6, 08:21
- Jebus. So glad they're safe but damn. -- nm - Krusty Sep 6, 07:49
- Such a weird feeling to have a kid in study hall say "Did you hear about the shooting downtown? Yeah, at the 5/3 building." Your mind just races. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 6, 07:40
- scary -- nm - decline Sep 6, 07:39
