Giants: Shurmur now open to benching Eli -- (link) - budice Sep 16, 11:28 3
- Give him three more weeks. - Will Hunting Sep 16, 11:36
- It's the right play at this point, I'd say. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 11:34
- The Steelers can't re-sign Landry Jones if they wanted familiar veteran support for Mason Rudolph. He is contractually committed to the XFL -- nm - budice Sep 16, 11:31
nice try, Andrew! -- (link) - mud Sep 16, 11:23 10
- They need to settle this out behind the school in the smoker's corner. -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 11:40 1
  - Yeah, on one side, Trudeau and Wayne and Dairy and Dan, and on the other side ... - Beryllium Sep 16, 11:42

  - Will this be before or after everything is revealed about Trudeau's multiple marital infidelities? -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 11:27 6
    - talk softly and carry a big stick -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 11:45
    - I'll add to his total. -- nm - jnine Sep 16, 11:30
    - Wasn't the last time you were this certain that something was nothing was when it came out he harassed that reporter in BC? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 11:29 2
      - I don't remember that one. At this point, though, I'm more of the opinion that he's as bulletproof as Trump. -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 11:31 1
        
        He certainly has greater latitude, but there is nothing about his performance approval polling that indicates bulletproof. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 11:44
    - sex tape or it didn't happen -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:29
Perfect tweet regarding the fantasy QB situation right now. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 16, 11:21

  - Boo. Stupid youtube! -- nm - Inigo Sep 16, 11:15
So, why are we supposed to investigate Obama's Netflix deal? I don't get it. - Chamberlain Sep 16, 11:02 2
- Braying Jackass Says Outrageous Thing, Day 970 -- nm - rollo Sep 16, 11:08 1
  - I guess he rolled his "scandal diversion" dice this morning after the Kavanaugh shit and they turned up "investigate Obama". -- nm - Chamberlain Sep 16, 11:10
LYC gross pizza edition - I was "volunteered" to participate at the youth rally for a pizza topping challenge game - SyrDragon Sep 16, 10:59 8
- Eff that. We don’t let kids eat glue. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 11:37
- that sounds more like a recipe for compost -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 11:37
- I feel like I should send you flowers or something. You didn't deserve that. -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:29 2
  - Toss up between Beaker and SyrD right now. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 11:33 1
    - exactly you can recover from pneumonia and move on*, SyrD may need PTSD therapy. - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:36
- ...glue? - JaxSean Sep 16, 11:21
- that is DISGUSTING -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 10:59 1
  - the glue was the oddest part but didn't really taste it at all...and I am used to kimchi on rice and noodles -- nm - SyrDragon Sep 16, 11:23
My Caveman roster currently has Tyreek, AJ Green and Big Ben on the bench. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 16, 10:51 1
- This... is not your year. -- nm - Baron Universe Sep 16, 11:20
Stallone: Cobra reboot with Robert Rodriquez to direct, Tango and Cash sequel... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 16, 10:49 15
- Tango & Cash 2 would be fun as long as they leave Teri Hatcher at home - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:17 4
  - Michael Bae Jordan. -- nm - Diva Sep 16, 11:19 1
    - Oh.My.Gawd. Yes! Yes! -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:21
  - Hemsworth. -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 11:19 1
    - Look darling, Hemsworth can't play everything. But I like where your head is at. -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:22
- Plan B? -- nm - budice Sep 16, 11:12
- He's 73 years old at this point. I mean, I guess. Go get that money. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 16, 10:55 1
  - right? but he's still doing it and people still want to see it... -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 11:02
- What about Rhinestone? -- nm - Max Sep 16, 10:53 6

      - Daylight 2! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 10:57
The official Leaders' Debates Commission has decided to invite Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada -- (link) - Beaker Sep 16, 10:47 11
- Yes, let's waste some more time with the fringe leaders whose opinions are irrelevant to the election outcome. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:53
- This hurts the Tories, IMO. -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 10:50 9
  - I'm torn. I can definitely see this possibility, but I could also see it taking some of the steam out of the "Tories are extremists" Liberal attack. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:54 4
    - I'd just use the line "this guy was almost the leader of your party Andrew" -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:55 3
      - yeah, that wouldn't work (exactly what NWBR is saying below!) -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 10:59
      - "But he isn't. In fact, he found his current beliefs didn't have a home in the party and left." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:57 1
        
        Fair and valid if trying to pain Sheer/Tories as extreme right. But putting him on stage says - to the extreme right - "Here's the guy you want!" -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 11:21
  - yup, especially in Quebec where I think they were hoping for inroads there -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:53 3
    - How do you figure? Bernier isn't exactly beloved in his native province? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:54 2
      - huh, I figured he'd be most popular there -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:55 1
        
        Nope. His vein of staunch separation of powers and reduced government intervention makes him very polarizing and somewhat marginalized. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:59
Borderlands 3: Top 5 tips. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 16, 10:43 [youtube] 1
- heh, Killa Volt kicked my ass. - JaxSean Sep 16, 11:06
YouTube is changing the way music videos are counted after record labels figured out they could buy their way onto the charts. - Mop Sep 16, 10:31
AEW: Kim alert.... - Remlik Sep 16, 10:18 4
- Yeah, I think we're gonna go to Nashville. - Dark Callisto Sep 16, 10:22 3
  - HA! I bet he debuts in Indy the next week! -- nm* - Remlik Sep 16, 10:22 2
    - Maybe we'll have to go to Indy, too. - Dark Callisto Sep 16, 10:25 1
      - Nice! -- nm - Remlik Sep 16, 10:26
Manning face. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 16, 10:16
Bye for now Rapeslisburger... -- nm - Diva Sep 16, 10:14 7
- Letting some of the pressure out of that noggin? -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 11:21
- yeah - BYE BITCH! -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 11:18
- This could be it. He was already on the annual "Is this the retirement year?" clock. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 16, 10:55
- Speaking of which, I appreciated the karma of seeing Tyreek Hill's arm in a sling yesterday. -- nm - Pengy Sep 16, 10:15 3
  - I'm so glad I traded him away in Cavemen. Sweet to seem him get a little comeuppance. -- nm - Inigo Sep 16, 10:22 1
    - Hey hey whoa. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 16, 10:46
  - Understood fully. -- nm - Diva Sep 16, 10:16
nm -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Sep 16, 10:14
Jurassic World Battle At Big Rock....watch the credits.... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 16, 10:12 [youtube] 7 1
- Heh. - Beryllium Sep 16, 10:29 5
  - Seriously. We wipe out entire species BY ACCIDENT. We can't wipe them out on purpose? -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 10:32 4
    - 30-50 feral hogs kill millions every year; these things can do twice that -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:33 3
      - That rapey Red Jacket arms dude had a show on wild hog guns, you don't want a high velocity AR round, the sonic boom would stampeed the others - zeitgeist Sep 16, 11:41
      - elephant. gun. -- nm - Burt Gummer si Sep 16, 10:40 1
        
        they aren't all breaking into the wrong god damn wreck room though Burt -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:41
- People in Jurassic World are the stupidest people. -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 10:22
Speaking of Netflix ... -- (pic) - zork Sep 16, 10:09 [Attachment]
Patrick Mahomes' 278 yards yesterday ranked 10th in the NFL... *puts hand to ear* I'm sorry, his 2nd Quarter of 278 yards ranked 10th. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 10:00 4
- I appreciate they got up 28-10 and basically took the wind out of the Raiders sails -- nm - budice Sep 16, 10:02
- It was hysterical. The Raiders were all over those dink and dunk passes. So, Reid just started calling deepouts every play. -- nm - Pengy Sep 16, 10:01 2
  - Apparently, their offense is as close to Golden State's basketball offense as we've seen. - Will Hunting Sep 16, 10:05 1
    - I don't even know who Demarcus Robinson is. He took the top off the defense twice. - Pengy Sep 16, 10:14
Cord Cutters: what's the best solution for recording shows? - SyrDragon Sep 16, 09:56 7
- For strictly OTA stuff I really like my Tablo. -- (link) - Ender Sep 16, 10:54
- Torrents! -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 10:34
- VCR -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:34
- Hulu Live TV has a true cloud DVR system with series recordings. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 16, 10:25
- YouTube TV allows you to record shows for later. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 16, 10:23
- I have a Tivo (I know. Tivo?) Works fantastic with an OTA antenna on the roof. If you're a Fire house, did you look at the Recast? -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 10:22
- Apparently Amazon Fire has an OTA DVR of their own. -- (link) - Mop Sep 16, 09:57
KC/OAK: QB Salaries 2019 => Mahomes $645k+$4M bonus, Carr $19.9M+$3M bonus -- nm - budice Sep 16, 09:53 2
- Mahomes will get broke off soon. Chiefs going to keep him happy, -- nm - Strongbad Sep 16, 10:55
- Yes, rookie contracts are cheaper. Carr's not one of the top 15 QBs in salary this year, so that's just a terrible stat. - Pengy Sep 16, 09:59
Netflix just took Seinfeld from Hulu. -- nm - Pengy Sep 16, 09:51 5
- Probably the jewel in the Sony Pictures Television crown. Which just goes to show... - Mop Sep 16, 09:56
- (but the deal doesn't start until 2021) -- nm - Pengy Sep 16, 09:51 3
  - (and it's still that awful show Seinfeld) -- nm - ty97 Sep 16, 09:55 2
    - Yeah, I lost my interest in it a full marriage ago. -- nm - Pengy Sep 16, 09:59
    - "It's a show about nothing" -- nm - SyrDragon Sep 16, 09:57
Don’t f*ck with corn ethanol, if you want to win in Iowa -- (link) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 16, 09:49
So I haven't seen much discussion of this, but at the end of the Bears game yesterday, on the Denver 2 point try, I'm pretty sure the refs screwed up. - pmb Sep 16, 09:29 8
- Apparently, the rules are different for two-point conversions. The ref messed up when he said "half the distance," which is reflexive. - David Sep 16, 09:41 2
  - Yeah, they have to write in an exception because you can choose what do to after each try. -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 10:28 1
    - It’s Denver that got mega-boned anyway. Twice. There was terrible officiating in that game. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 16, 10:43
- I think they get to choose half the distance for either attempt. -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:30 4
  - So, they'd then go to the 3.5, no? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 09:33 3
    - yeah, you'd think...weird -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:54
    - Right. It makes no sense that the prior penalty is simply negated. -- nm - pmb Sep 16, 09:48 1
      - It felt like some kind of school-yard game. "You screwed up! DO OVER!" -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 09:49
Didn't you know? Iguanas hide in the shadow of tequila glasses, just waiting for a chance to reach out and bite your hand - Will Hunting Sep 16, 09:28 4
- So you're saying I maybe shouldn't have done this? -- (pic) - Meg Sep 16, 09:38 [Attachment] 3
  - I'm pretty sure you just tell it who to bite. And it listens. -- nm - Pippy - Banging the Peace Drum Sep 16, 09:51
  - As long as it hadn't drained the bottle of tequila prior. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 09:46
  - I don't see any tortilla's nearby. You should be fine. -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 09:46
Hmmmm. Working Families Party Endorses Elizabeth Warren -- (link) - ty97 Sep 16, 09:27 2
- Nice. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Sep 16, 09:35
- I've been at their parties, they suck -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:28
TV PSA add-on: Beyoncé Presents: Making The Gift which will air on ABC tonight -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:25
As a reminder, Pittsburgh traded their backup QB last week. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 16, 09:16 3
- Not to mention LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown no longer with the Team -- nm - budice Sep 16, 09:30 1
  - how badly was Connor hurt yesterday? he missed some time too didn't he? -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:32
- oops -- nm - Chamberlain Sep 16, 09:24
dammit stan. *fires up the old mexican radio* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 16, 09:14 2
- I hear the talkin' of the DJ, can't understand just what does he say. -- nm - Chamberlain Sep 16, 09:14 1
  - I went recursive. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 16, 09:17
Pneumonia price tag: Doctor's visit, 2 x-rays, med prescription -- (edited) - Beaker Sep 16, 09:13 20
- In Canada the hospital pays YOU -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 16, 10:54
- I hear the best cure is a case of camo can Alpine. -- nm - Shaun Sep 16, 10:42 1
  - I told my wife a Funko a day keeps the illness away...but she isn't buying it -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 10:45
- At that price, you can't afford *not* to get pneumonia! -- nm - Reagen Sep 16, 10:27
- Hope that you or whomever is afflicted is on the mend -- nm - zork Sep 16, 10:05
- Don't mess around with the pneumonia shit. That kicked my ass before. Like seriously, it has to be the worst thing I've ever had in my life. - oblique Sep 16, 09:44 4
  - Yep. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 16, 10:24
  - the coughing at night is the worst. Has really zapped my get-up-and-go cause can't get a decent sleep. Also when I cough now the pain shoots - Beaker Sep 16, 09:53 2
    - It got so bad for me I couldn't walk downstairs without basically being winded. Felt like I was on top of Everest. Zero oxygen. -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 10:20 1
      - my wife bases how sick I am on my beer intake. "I knew you weren't just man-colding it when you stopped drinking when our friends were over" - Beaker Sep 16, 10:23
- Well sure, but you had to wait nine months to see a doctor and you died in the meantime. nm - Dignan Sep 16, 09:41 2
  - we got a great family doctor. I called at 10 this morning and they had me in for an appointment at 12, 15 minutes for the x-rays; all told like 1 hour -- (edited) - Beaker Sep 16, 09:42 1
    - i know. the hysteria that we all die on waiting lists is insane. Dave hurt his arm playing softball last Tuesday. He has an MRI today. and that's - Andie Sep 16, 10:58
- Hospital parking For less than $20? Unpossible -- nm - zork Sep 16, 09:41 1
  - $2 an hour here -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:41
- NO DEAL! Free healthcare or nothing! -- nm - Mop Sep 16, 09:20
- Pneumonia? Did you run over a gypsy's dog!?! -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 09:19 3
  - I keep apologizing to her! -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 09:29
  - Worse: he likes the Patriots. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 16, 09:20 1
    - Well, there you go. -- nm - Spawn Sep 16, 09:23
I do my hair toss, check my nails. Baby, how you feeling? -- nm* - Baron Universe Sep 16, 09:11 1
