It's overcast and glum today. Well, this month. Terrible for photos (at least the kind I want to take right now). I can see why people buy SAD lights. -- nm - Berylorian Dec 29, 15:38 1

Barack Obama listed his favorite books of the year. Trump... did not read a book. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 14:35 1
- Did he list Recursion by Blake Crouch? If not he really should have as it would make me doubt the validity of his list. -- nm* - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 14:53

- Deez late gamez. -- nm - budice Dec 29, 14:23 1
  - It's like an entire season of Thursday Night Football games played in a single afternoon. -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:25
The Cowboys have got to be the biggest disappointment of any team this year. I mean New England is making the playoffs still. - Bacon Dec 29, 14:16 33
- They can still make the playoffs -- nm - Amoxy Dec 29, 15:46
- Andrew Luck -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 15:45
- As a Bears fan, I was concerned going in. The offense dropped off 2nd half last year, 1st place schedule, strength of the division and the QB. - zunkskunk Dec 29, 14:29
- Sadly, Atlanta's in that conversation, too. I think the three underachievers are Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago. - General David Dec 29, 14:19 11
  - Cleveland too, considering the “talent” everyone said was there. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 15:21
  - Would you add the Rams to that list? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:47 4
    - The Ramsey trade was stupid, but I don't put them in that group. It's a product of the NFC West being up. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 15:04
    - If the Rams are in NFC East they win it easy. They just happened to be in the Seahawks and 49ers division and Arizona was no slouch -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:52 2
      - I'm not sure that's true. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 15:00 1
        
        If you simply trade coaches Dallas gets 3 more wins easy -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 15:08
  - Okay, Chicago is a great team to throw into this discussion. I would have to ponder that one -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:21 4
    - It's not as shocking as it might seem. They played a last place schedule last year and a first place schedule this year. They wound up with 4 fewer - pmb Dec 29, 15:43
    - Throw in the Chargers as well -- nm - eag Dec 29, 14:26 2
      - The problem with them (as with Dallas) is that they were most likely going for a wild card. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 15:18
      - Yeah, they're my #4. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 14:27
- Cleveland -- nm - eag Dec 29, 14:16 17
  - I’d still take Dallas. They are in the worst division and still sucked this bad. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 14:18 5
    - Cleveland was favored over Dallas to win the Super Bowl. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:39 4
      - I did. I messed up. Dallas though was already good - they flat out regressed in a cake-walk division. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 14:42 3
        
        I don't think many people thought Dallas was more than good. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:52 2
        
        Dallas going into the year, looked aces on paper. O-Line top three, RB top 3, QB above average, Defense top 5, Superbowl or Bust was all I heard -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:54 1
        
        I must be forgetting all of that, if I ever heard it. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 15:06
  - I never thought they were going anywhere. New coach that wasn't tested. Dallas had the veteran coach that was finally going to put it all together -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:18 10
    - Cleveland was 15/1 to win the Super Bowl. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:42
    - in 10 years that Jason Garett has been the coach he went to the playoffs 3 times and lost in the 2nd round twice and first round once. -- (edited) - eag Dec 29, 14:23 8
      - Honest question: how much of that may be because he also had to fight ownership? (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 14:25 7
        
        It's 100% on ownership. Jerry Jones insists on personnel control, and he's been terrible at it since he fired Jimmy Johnson back in the 90s. - General David Dec 29, 15:03
        
        Quite the opposite - eag Dec 29, 14:29 1
        
        Ok, thanks to you both. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 14:33
        
        Jerry has given him a winning formula. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 14:28 3
        
        Yeah, it's all on the coach. Jerry's biggest mistake was not firing him ealier -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:31 2
        
        Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer were there a total of 9 seasons combined and have 3 SB championships and 6 playoff apearances - eag Dec 29, 14:40 1
        
        Switzer inherited his wins. He is an average coach at best. Jimmy was the real goods. -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:50
Why don't bad teams rest starters this week? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:08 5
- Cleveland's Coach was playing for his job, per ownership. -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:10 4
  - If they haven't already decided to fire him they are doing it wrong. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:19 2
    - I heard buzz on Twitter by blue checked NFL analysts that ownership was going to keep him another year if he won today -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:19
    - Yup. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 14:19
  - I am trying to figure out why the Rams are trying to blow out Gurley's knee today, however -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 14:11
Loved Jumanji 2. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 13:56 1
- I might go see it -- or Star Wars IX (again) -- when I get to Seattle this evening. -- nm - RCD2 Dec 29, 14:08
Liberty biberty lost today so now there are two undefeated men’s college basketball teams left. -- nm - Dano Dec 29, 13:38
Brady lost to Miami? MIAMI? good lord. call it a day tom -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 13:37 2
- Miami often plays NE well. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 13:56 1
  - Revenge for 43-0. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 29, 15:47
Jameis Winston fact: - Beaker Dec 29, 13:28 9
- And they want to bring him back! - Will Hunting Dec 29, 13:37 8
  - All game long, the announcers talked about his 5,000 passing yards, which is the ultimate in missing the forest for the trees. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 13:46 6
    - I think Winston will have a Hall of Fame career. -- nm - Phillip Rivers Dec 29, 13:47 5
      - That's probably the best comparison, only Rivers is clearly better. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 13:49 4
        
        It’s late stage Eli - Will Hunting Dec 29, 14:17 2
        
        Eli's offensive line was always a factor. Jameis is just color blind. -- nm - General David Dec 29, 14:20 1
        
        When I stole the crablegs my color blindness made me believe they were just the free breadsticks. -- nm - Winston Alibi Dec 29, 14:22
        
        Rivers is better and I agree, but Rivers was also blessed with a better running game than Winston so far. -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 13:50
  - I don't know how people didn't realize his first name is Jamais. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 29, 13:43
2019 Top Ten Movie Time! everyone join in! If you don't have 10, post 6 .. or 4 1/2 whatever you want .. : - mud Dec 29, 13:26 4

  - have you seen Invisible Life? It almost made my list, played at VIFF -quite good -- nm - mud Dec 29, 13:56 2
    - It's not even in my top 5 Brazilian movies. - Marlowe Dec 29, 14:01 1
      - And it's kinda disappointing, as I know a lot of people that worked in it. - Marlowe Dec 29, 14:05
I'm in an Amtrak lounge. - RCD2 Dec 29, 13:25 6
- That's a nice looking room. I just looked up the one at Union Station Chicago and it's much more modern looking. -- nm - zunkskunk Dec 29, 14:12 1
  - The room itself is pretty great. Good size, comfy seating, pleasant aesthetics. Kind of reminds me of the smaller Alaska Airlines lounges at SeaTac. - RCD2 Dec 29, 14:16
- free booze? -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 13:26 3
  - No booze at all, but plenty of free coffee, water, soft drinks (of different varieties), and Red Bull. -- (edited) - RCD2 Dec 29, 13:33 1
    - gah, churches do that as well. -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 13:34
  - And Smack Ramen -- nm - budice Dec 29, 13:31

the Packers getting a bye shocks me. I'd much rather face them than the Saints -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 13:21 1
- Yep, the 49ers crushed the Packers but barely slipped by the Saints. -- nm - Bacon Dec 29, 13:22
The box score of the Pats last play includes three fumbles. That’s amazing. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 13:20

  - Disney needs to make a movie out of this! -- nm - General David Dec 29, 13:25 1
    - ESPN already has the title: 30 for 30 -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 13:25
