  - Had SEA's K not gotten hurt, they lose by 3 and that's a 2 game swing for me. Up by 5 instead of up by 3. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:43
- Double check that. - Spawn Jan 7, 05:48 1
  - it must of updated between the time I posted and now. Cause now Will is in 4th and when I posted it was Piranha (and the new games are up for picking) -- nm* - Beaker Jan 7, 05:50

That's not the carefully considered critical appraision we've come to expect from the Golden Globes! -- nm - Reagen Jan 7, 03:14 12
- I've been trying to convince people to stop watching it so maybe one day it can go 100% ignored and die. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 7, 05:41 2

      - I mean, *I* think that Black Panther would be a better choice than Bohemian Rhapsody. - Marlowe Jan 7, 06:07
      - I'm just struggling like DJ Qualls opening a pickle jar to get upset about a Golden Globe. -- nm - Reagen Jan 7, 04:36 2
        
        Who is upset? The Globes are ridic, but people still like chatting about them. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 06:05 1
        
        Some people, I presume. -- nm - Reagen Jan 7, 06:49
