- We finally got snow Thursday. As House Stark says "Winter is late" -- nm - crash davis Dec 13, 09:06

- His new place lets in a lot more light. - Max Dec 13, 09:20
- Thanks. I know it is not my fault, but this guy is spiraling and it is just sad. In better news, already talking to a family that wants the place. -- nm - Spawn Dec 13, 08:40 6
  - You tried to help and they refused it. Not much else you can do. -- nm - spamlet Dec 13, 10:17
  - I had to do that once. It was all on the dude but he was so distraught that I had a sheriff go with me in case there was a body in the place. -- (edited) - crash davis Dec 13, 08:47 2
    - When I went to the house Friday I did it before I ate lunch for the exact same reason. This was my pic from Friday. -- (link) - Spawn Dec 13, 08:50 [Backboard] 1

ST, Rank the 8 Division leaders in the NFL (assume neutral field) - Beaker Dec 13, 08:29 9

  - Thye've won 6 in a row, including over GB/Dallas and 2 destructions of a competent Raiders team. - Will Hunting Dec 13, 08:49 1

- Chiefs - Patriots - Cardinals - Buccaneers - Packers - Titans - Cowboys - Ravens -- nm - Dano Dec 13, 08:38

DTLSTI: My scrims are going out now so if you have one, it's for that. -- nm - spamlet Dec 13, 08:26 2

Jeebus. Budice with 175 points in Krusty league. - Spawn Dec 13, 08:20
So what's the max score a DEF can get in FJS? Seems I need a mere 46 points from Arizona (plus stephen's team needs to win) -- nm - oblique Dec 13, 08:11 5
- If it keeps Matt Stafford under 16 points, I’m all for it. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 13, 08:18
- It is theoretically possible. -- nm - crash davis Dec 13, 08:16 3
  - I'll probably get negative points :) -- nm - oblique Dec 13, 08:19
  - What you are saying is... he has a chance! -- nm - Spawn Dec 13, 08:18 1

Back to back Grey Cups after a close to thirty year drought. Tis nice. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 13, 08:11 3
- that winning INT catch was great -- nm - Beaker Dec 13, 08:18 2
  - And appropriate. The offence was pedestrian this season, but the defence was impressive. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 13, 08:39
  - yep -- nm - mud Dec 13, 08:19
Heading into the season, I thought I was good in QV with 6 RBs to cover two slots. This weekend, I had Austin Ekeler, one COVID-19, and 4 IRs. -- nm - crash davis Dec 13, 08:10

  - Eeek... she still has student loan payments at age 69? -- nm - Dano Dec 13, 07:23 3
    - It says partial pension, so I'm guessing she went back to school to become a teacher and then didn't work long enough to get full benefits. -- nm - spamlet Dec 13, 07:28 1
      - partial pension is more pension than many of our generation will get -- nm - ty97 Dec 13, 08:31

  - "Nearly 9 million Americans ages 50 and older still have student debt" - ty97 Dec 13, 07:14 1
