      - Well, it sure as hell wasn't Erin O'Toole hitting send. Who else do you blame but the person manning the ole social media machine. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 16, 08:37 5
        
        (We may be reading a bit too much into a garbled one sentence tweet, guys) -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 08:45
        
        He was too busy with getting another photo op beside a portapotty. -- nm - Shaun Mar 16, 08:43
        
        the Erin O'Toole that hired the PR person that hired the intern. -- nm - mud Mar 16, 08:42
        
        That's not an intern though. Ultimately it's the comms director who is responsible. -- nm - Roger More Mar 16, 08:40
        
        But if they blame an intern, that means they had an intern in charge of social media, which is comically incompetent for 2021. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 08:40

- I don't see a big deal with NFTs in general - it's no different than selling art - but selling tweets is just incredibly dumb. - JaxSean Mar 16, 07:55 2
  - This is how I feel. There have always been dumb things for rich people to spend money on. - spamlet Mar 16, 08:26

the fascinating thing about where I work is that we spend so much time talking about billing. not the process, but the philosophy - tRuMAN Mar 16, 07:34 1

"Ranking 2021 NCAA Tournament coaches as players 1-68". Ok, ESPN, maybe take a break for a little bit. - Volnelk Mar 16, 07:16
Patriots not happy with just Jonnu Smith also sign Hunter Henry at TE. 3 yr 37.5M 25 guaranteed. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 16, 07:04 28
- I was kind of hoping the Colts would get him. -- nm - Spawn Mar 16, 08:21
- In less than 24 hours, the Patriots have guaranteed over $137.5 million -- nm - decline Mar 16, 07:33
- Pats posted a message -- (link) - stim-mie Mar 16, 07:30
- "Pats give up 2 1sts and a 3rd for DeShaun Watson" -- nm - stim-mie Mar 16, 07:13
- So which one will be Gronk and which one Aaron Hernandez? -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 16, 07:10
- They also seem intent on using all available cap space... -- nm - Inigo Mar 16, 07:08 3
  - ...on TEs. -- nm - spamlet Mar 16, 07:11 2
    - Well, it’s not like they have a history of winning Super Bowls with stellar TE work. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 16, 07:24 1
      - Here's hoping this batch doesn't kill anybody -- nm - JD Mar 16, 08:05
- When players who ride the bench on my fantasy team start making $12 million a year, I'm scared to see what the starters will get -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:08 17
  - I think the Pats are just dead set on never having a viable fantasy option. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 16, 07:13 16
    - Well, the Jets yesterday gave out a crazy sounding contract. Maybe the AFC East has gone nuts -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:14 15
      - I'm not seeing a crazy contract from the Jets -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 07:21 14
        
        ESPN gave them a C- for signing Lawson, but I think he's a solid player. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 16, 07:22 1
        
        I'm reading good things about him but I don't know him at all. I didn't watch the Bengals. -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 07:30
        
        Corey Davis -- (link) - crash davis Mar 16, 07:22 [Backboard] 11
        
        That's not a crazy deal. He nearly had 1k yards on 65 receptions in 14 games. If he gets that 1k yards he would have cost a few million more. - Krusty Mar 16, 07:26 10
        
        Based on that contract, next year DK Metcalf is going to ask the Seahawks for a billion dollars a year. -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:28 9
        
        *sigh* Tell me how it's a crazy contract -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 07:29 8
        
        You paid 12.5mil a year for a WR who averages about the 40th most yards receiving on average. - Will Hunting Mar 16, 07:33 4
        
        The Jets believe he will fit into the new offensive very well. We're going to run a west coast offense that will require route runners and that's what - Krusty Mar 16, 07:41 3
        
        Do you have the right QB to run a west coast offense? -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:42 2
        
        🤷‍♂️ QB is not a settled position as of right now. They could still trade Darnold and draft a QB. They can run it with Darnold going forward. - Krusty Mar 16, 07:46 1
        
        But we all know nothing else matters besides QB. If we don't make the right decision there then all this is meaningless. -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 07:47
        
        You're paying definitely more money for somewhat less production than Robbie Anderson, who was a Jet! -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:33 2
        
        But you're comparing two different types of receivers. Davis is a great route runner that should fit perfectly into the offense the Jets plan to run. - Krusty Mar 16, 07:37 1
        
        I hope it works out. -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:39
- :o -- nm - stim-mie Mar 16, 07:07
We received a million doses last week but only 450k this week. Was last week just some bump from some stock of J&J and that's now gone? - Krusty Mar 16, 07:03 4
- I think j&j had a production lag just after approval. -- (link*) - amanda jeans Mar 16, 07:04 3
  - Yeah, NY said there would be a big batch of JNJ that was waiting for approval, then a bit of lag for more JNJ -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 07:22 1
    - I figure JNJ didn't want to just keep producing until they knew they were approved -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 07:22
  - *sigh* Thanks! Hopefully things get worked out quickly. -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 07:09
my coworker is taking his whole family to florida for his daughter's cheer competition in two weeks. I don't know how smart this is. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 16, 07:00 5
- Where is it being held? Is it an outside venue? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 16, 07:11 1
  - it's at disney. I assume outside, but outside + lots of people isn't totally safe. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 16, 07:13
- Our spring break starts the 26th. I'm hearing murmurings of where kids are going and it makes me a little nervous. - Volnelk Mar 16, 07:05 1

- grr. C'mon, Florida. Shoot 'em up faster. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 16, 07:12
- missed it by that much. - tRuMAN Mar 16, 06:58 2
  - The Albertsons grocery here is just vaccinating folks who walk in because not enough of the permitted age group is showing up -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 07:01 1
    - yeah spamlet drove back to where we went to college because the grocery store there was doing the same thing - tRuMAN Mar 16, 07:04
I just finished my second James Patterson book of 2021 and it was going to be my last. Then I see he is releasing a new book with Bill Clinton June 7 - crash davis Mar 16, 06:54 2
- a book with his name on it comes out once a week or the world ends... -- nm - Beaker Mar 16, 07:02 1
  - I just finished The Chef. I knew going in it was going to suck. But I had to try it, the cover looked like Gordon Ramsay was going to kill everyone -- (edited) - crash davis Mar 16, 07:04

Some iconic characters make appearances in this Fortnite cinematic. -- (link) - Shaun Mar 16, 06:52 [youtube]
i find it amusing that commentators still use terms like "hitting the woodwork" when the goals are made out of aluminum. -- nm - tRuMAN Mar 16, 06:50 1
- It could be aluminum-coated wood. You don't know. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 16, 07:05
blah blah blah blah first things. -- nm* - tRuMAN Mar 16, 06:50
