Hasbro's takeover of eOne is a pretty big deal. - Mop Aug 26, 09:38 17
- they bought Death Row records too didn't they? -- nm - Beaker Aug 26, 09:44 9
  - Not sure if joking or serious. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:46 8
    - it is part of the eOne deal (and Now I see it in Mop's IM :) (I thought it was a separate deal when first saw it)) -- nm* - Beaker Aug 26, 09:47 7
      - Darnit, I was hoping we could continue the thread :) -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:49 6
        
        I wonder if they change their name as Hasbro has that toy connotation. Maybe they adopt the eOne name and retain "Hasbro" for the toys? -- nm - Mop Aug 26, 09:50 5

Weird. I signed up for John Wick emails before the movie came out and get a total of ONE before the movie. In the last week I got two. This one is a - Spawn Aug 26, 09:16 2
- You never see John Wick coming. That's what makes him so good. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 26, 09:18 1

Reagen, spamlet, Will, jfields: would any of you have taken Melvin Gordon III if he had been on the board for your first round pick? Please respond. -- nm - ML Aug 26, 09:16 5
- Thank you for the prompt responses. -- nm - ML Aug 26, 09:24
- I would have, but alas. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:21
- I was debating it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 09:20
- Yes. He was good enough to be worth the risk. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:17 1

Did ST see the Le'Ron McClain thing? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 08:57 20
- We'll start seeing so much more of this in the near term. Football is a killer. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:01 19
  - This is the biggest challenge the NFL will face. Not losing fans, but losing players. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 26, 09:04 14
    - Occurred to me driving home from the concert (and after the press conference) that Gronk & Luck may be the beginning of a trend. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:06
    - Yeah. Outside of the die-hards, I see a lot of parents starting to pull kids out of the sport. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:06 12
      - Yeah, I had decided if Logan played he would be a kicker. But he is already smart enough to laugh at the idea of playing and football due to injuries. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:07 11
        
        And well, kickers -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 09:09 1
        
        I mean, scoff at the kickers making a minimum of $550k a year....that's cool :) -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:10
        
        What's kinda bad is they're going to soccer...which has a play designed specifically to have direct impact with the head. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:09 8
        
        Apples and oranges really, in terms of the nature of the impact. It is something that’s being looked at though. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 26, 09:29 3
        
        Agreed. I played soccer for a lot of years and maybe once a game had to head a ball. nm - Uncle Six Aug 26, 09:37
        
        No one should be getting hit in the head with apples or oranges! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 26, 09:30 1
        
        Well, that’s no fun. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 26, 09:36
        
        Ironically, the main cause of brain injury from headbutting the ball occurs in practice, not in actual gameplay. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:12
        
        I'm actually a little surprised that they haven't just removed that from the game at this point -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 09:10 2
        
        Yeah, remove heads and allow hands (punching, not catching). -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:12 1
        
        *punches you in the head going for the ball* -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Aug 26, 09:31
  - I honestly think I might have moved on from my NFL viewing. I already pretty much had and as Luck would have it... -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:02 3
    - My NFL viewing for the entirety of last season (playoffs and Super Bowl included) was probably less than 15 minutes. nm - Uncle Six Aug 26, 09:21 2
      - I watched 1.5 games (DC's opening half & the Super Bowl). - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:22 1

- Do I just add a player from the yahoo list? -- nm - CQ Aug 26, 08:59 4
  - Not everyone picks up their guy right away. Post on the draft list and then pick them up -- nm - spamlet Aug 26, 09:00 1
    - Figured. I che jedi BOP first. Done. -- nm - CQ Aug 26, 09:02
  - pick up your player at Yahoo, and either (A) post the pick to the draft channel on the BOP board or (B) post it here and we'll update it -- nm - ML Aug 26, 09:00

speaking of kitchens - back splash is up -- (pic) - Pippy - Teddy Graham Procurer Aug 26, 08:39 [Attachment] 21
- Generally I'm not a fan of that style tile, but doing it vertically instead of horizontally changes it up and I like that look. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 26, 09:16
- I've never seen vertical like that before. Very nice. Feels kind of like a gentle forest rain. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:13
- Nice! -- nm - Amoxy Aug 26, 09:00
- nice!! -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 09:00
- Sweet! -- nm - Inigo Aug 26, 08:58
- Absolutely gorgeous! And we're pot-filler buddies!! - ReluctantCynic Aug 26, 08:57 3
  - I like the idea of a pot filler, but I’m pretty sure we’d never actually use it. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 26, 09:00 2
    - I thought so, too, but it is surprisingly useful. - ReluctantCynic Aug 26, 09:04
    - to be honest, I forget we have it. I'll eventually get the muscle memory for it. - Pippy - Teddy Graham Procurer Aug 26, 09:03
- that's a nice kitchen! -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 08:57
- It's like a waterfall. I like it! -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 26, 08:52

- Wow. I tend to see that type of design horizontal and I dislike it. But I really like that one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 08:40 1
  - I concur with all this. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 08:41
Counting down... the deadliest highways in the United States! - Mop Aug 26, 08:38 2

Vamps: JD, Shaun, shay, Foley, kelly -- nm* - budice Aug 26, 08:37 12
- Any time Samara drafts somebody that's a little further down my reference sheet I think "Welp, that guy's gonna blow up this year and kill us all." -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 26, 08:39 11
  - I end up thinking this all the time. I have no idea why spamlet drafted Duke Johnson in the first round. -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 08:42 9
    - Duke Johnson is the all-time rushing leader at the university of Miami -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 08:52
    - because (1) he's good, and (2) Lamar Miller's knee exploded over the weekend -- nm - ML Aug 26, 08:43 7
      - (3) and Duke is a cool name -- nm - decline Aug 26, 08:54
      - Seems like a gamble but thanks -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 08:52 4
        
        Guys not in a timeshare are at a premium. *shrug* -- nm - spamlet Aug 26, 08:54 3
        
        Guess it wouldn't surprise me if HOU brought someone in and he ended up that way -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 08:56 2
        
        I don't know who they could bring in that should take snaps from Johnson. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 26, 09:00 1
        
        I did get him on the crappy dynasty team I picked up a couple years ago. So pleased with that, at least. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 09:04
      - I like the double-dipping potential he gives me in Vamps. -- nm - Shaun Aug 26, 08:43
  - Yeah...I saw that and was like....*let me re-evaluate my personnel* -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 08:41
"Doug Gottlieb Credit Cards" is trending. Which just goes to show, if you're going to be terrible, karma's gonna get you. - Mop Aug 26, 08:36
