Dallas Cowboys really brought their own benches with them for today's game at Washington -- (link) - budice Dec 12, 07:31 2
- Why? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 12, 08:30 1
  - Reportedly the Seahawks told them that the benches Washington supplied didn’t work. The heaters, I guess. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 08:57
Urban Meyer sounds like a fun boss. -- (link) - Mop Dec 12, 07:29 1
- Yeah he’s certainly paving the way to being unemployed. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 07:46
Chris Wallace leaving FOX News -- (link) - budice Dec 12, 07:18
I’m not sure why everyone is upset about the end and not the beginning. Calls go both ways. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:51 11
- I'm upset because Max has been pushing people off the track for months and all he got was a "now, now" as punishment. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 12, 07:14 3
  - Not to mention that one time when he stepped into the breaks in the middle of a straight, causing a collision that could endanger the guy behind. - Marlowe Dec 12, 07:49
  - That I can agree with. In each instance there was kind of an explanation, but when you add it all up, it’s a lot. -- nm* - Volnelk Dec 12, 07:17 1
    - I’d argue that because the margins are soooo fine in F1, that decisions have a disproportionate impact compared to other sports. -- nm* - Volnelk Dec 12, 07:19
- Because of who it affected. - zunk xometimes Dec 12, 07:00
- But in reality, the stewards made a decision and stuck to it. They didn’t change the decision at the end and then half correct it. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:53 3
  - Like I said down below. The issue is the timing. It’s all being decided and relayed in seconds. We see what the coverage shows us but it’s complicated - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:56 2
    - They had 4 laps to decide! -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:57 1
      - Sure but while that’s happening, they’re cleaning debris, etc. things are in motion. - Volnelk Dec 12, 07:06
- You mean when Hamilton turned into max and was pushed off the track? A correct no call. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:52 1
  - And ended up with a significant lead because of it. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:53
Fuck this shit. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 12, 06:40 1
- I just hope the FIA does something over the break. They lost control of the sport this year. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:47
Hamilton got screwed so badly -- nm - Krusty Dec 12, 06:34 1
- Happy for Max, but Lewis has good reason to not be happy -- nm - budice Dec 12, 06:45
Formula 1 might be over as a sport today. Not an overstatement. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:34 15
- Totally an overstatement. - zunk xometimes Dec 12, 06:40 7
  - Not super invested. As a casual fan you’ll never watch again after that. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:41 6
    - Why wouldn’t you? If you are a casual fan, you don’t know any of the behind the scenes stuff. As a casual fan, it was exciting. - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:44 5
      - The issue F1 has compared to basically every sport is decisions have to be made in seconds while w everything is in motion and then communicated. - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:47 2
        
        Meh, every other sport makes instant calls. These guys (and NASCAR) get time and still are inconsistent. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 12, 08:26
        
        Then you restart without unlapping like they decided to, until Red Bull phones -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:48
      - The casual fan doesn’t like when officials determine the outcome. When the officials say we are giving you the win people know. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:45 1
        
        You are assuming the casual fan knows that. For me, by definition, they just watch the race. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:48
- Refs had a hand in the end result no doubt -- nm - budice Dec 12, 06:37 3
  - But they had a hand in the start the other way as well. Refs/umpires always play a part. That’s sports. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 12, 06:39 2
    - Hence why I made a generic statement above -- nm - budice Dec 12, 06:40
    - You clearly didn’t watch the race. That was the most blatant Referee cheating in a sport. Ever. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:40
- If this is how they do things I won't be watching again. -- nm - Krusty Dec 12, 06:35 2
  - The FIA has wanted Max all season. Today’s decision honestly is going to kill the sport for anyone that was a casual fan. -- nm - MDH Dec 12, 06:36 1
    - I'll stick to playing racing games over watching it. -- nm - Krusty Dec 12, 06:41
Kelvin Sampson -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 12, 05:58
Damn. Just heard the Peace on Earth version. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 12, 05:30 5
- At least you went out on the best version. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 12, 06:53
- *pours one out for Strongbad* -- nm - Krusty Dec 12, 05:36 3
  - To be fair, I also heard one of my favorites - Strongbad Dec 12, 05:45 2
    - UGH. Now one of my least favorites!!! - Strongbad Dec 12, 05:58 1
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Dec 12, 05:59
too far out to really trust it but there is currently 17 cm of snow forecasted for the last day of school, which would be uhhh-mazing. -- nm - Reagen Dec 12, 05:24 2
- Is that a lot? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 12, 06:33
- In June? That's some amazing forecasting! - Krusty Dec 12, 06:14

I can't even with Hulu right now. There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason to whether the "skip intro" and "start next episode" buttons appear. - Ender Dec 12, 03:05
Ok, here are my Oscar draft prerankings. - Ender Dec 12, 01:11
there it is: CA gov Newsome wants to use a Texas like law to ban assault rifles with citizen lawsuits -- (link) - zeitgeist Dec 11, 23:23 6
- He saw the part where the Supreme Court just said lawsuits could go forward, right? -- nm - Ender Dec 11, 23:53 1
  - By the time the TX case gets back to them, they’ll have eviscerated Roe, but yeah, no chance a gun law survives. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 12, 05:27
- All I want for Christmas is the Dems in CA to redistrict in their favor like the GOP does in Texas. -- nm - Under the Influence Dec 11, 23:40 3
  - CA uses an "independent" citizen committee, who just happened to reconfigure Devin Nunes's district so it's no longer safe. That's why he's leaving, - jnine Dec 12, 06:12 1
    - Ok, that makes sense, hw would likely have been chairman of one of the most important committees, making him powerful INDEED -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 12, 10:49
  - If dems cheated like Republicans they’d probably have 20 more seats, but I guess not everyone can have no morals. -- nm - mafic Dec 12, 05:46
Unnecessarily alarming headline: No survivers expected to be found in amazon warehouse (45 made it out, they have no idea how many were working in it) - zeitgeist Dec 11, 23:20 1

I'm not saying it's a good movie, but Last Action Hero was exactly the movie I needed to watch tonight. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 21:19 4
- That happened with me yesterday and Meet the Spartans. I know! -- nm - con_carne Dec 11, 21:54
- It’s been 27 years since I saw this but I seem to think it’s be better today in the self-referential ironic way -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 21:26 2

  - I thought of him right after I posted. His success always seemed "inherited" NFLwise. -- nm - VMan Dec 11, 18:51
  - No one thinks Switzer was any good as an NFL coach. He took over from Jimmy Johnson (a glaring oversight on our part) and then won once before the - Will Hunting Dec 11, 16:25 3
    - Yup. Switzer's Super Bowl is proof of how great Johnson was. - The Allfather Dec 11, 16:40 2
