Worst #1 pick ever....Aundrey Bruce in 1988 for the Falcons. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:42 1
- even worse than the 2 guys who never played a game? -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:48
*waits for crash to poll about #1 qbs from the 80s* - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:38 2
- actually I believe Young was a supplemental pick because he played in the USFL -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:41 1
  - hmm, could be, not sure on that really -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:46
My favorite stat in BF....entering last week, Spawn's highest point total for any week woulda ranked #26 in the league's scoring chart. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:38 9
- I had a year last year, where I outscored everyone by a significant margin.... - groiny Oct 21, 13:40 1
  - Kelly last year challenges Kilbo this year on the worst luck. 2/3% make the playoffs....she was 2nd in pts by a wide margin and didn't make them. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:41
- Please tell me you have been stat mining since the earlier discussion. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:39 2
  - Nope, I just glanced at it this weekend. It impressed me how utterly average your team had been and still fortunate. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:40
  - in between eating. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:40
- Personally, I am rooting for Spawn to run the table. It is the ultimate debunking of fantasy football. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:38 3
  - agreed. my favorite league I was ever in had everyone going head to head against every team instead of just one. so the team with the highest total - dogbert Oct 21, 13:48
  - *ding* (nm) - musubi Oct 21, 13:45
  - The last time I won BF, my team was an autodraft team. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:40
There were a lot of red cards in the games today. weird -- nm - CQ Oct 21, 13:36
my brain just does not care for the cloud thing. twitter via bing: nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 21, 13:35 1
- Yeah, for all the hoopla around it, it seems *meh* -- nm - oblique Oct 21, 13:38
Looks like they may have found a body near Folkston Georgia in a garbage dump -- nm - oblique Oct 21, 13:34 10
- Fudge. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:39 2
  - We can only hope - con_carne Oct 21, 13:44 1

    - ? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 21, 13:41 3

  - I am impressed -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:33 1
    - This I could have got. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:34
Since the NFL merger (1970) which team has had the most #1 draft picks? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:29 25
- I will always remember this day as the day NFL killed Hump Day - Epiphany Oct 21, 13:46 2
  - you think all the football talk isn't causing boners? -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:49
  - *flashes pip.* -- nm - b.oob Oct 21, 13:48
- Tampa? -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 13:32 7
  - you are correct, with 5 picks. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:32 6
    - first one shouldn't count, it was given to them -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:33 5
      - then they would be tied at 4 with the team from New England. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:34 4
        
        actually are you sure they have 5? a couple different places I've just looked only show 4 -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:36 3
        
        hmm, I have it as - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:37 1
        
        but I think they drafted then traded the 84 pick - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:38
        
        76, 77, 86, 87 -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:37

      - He would never have found me in the men's room, drinking hot cocoa, trying to warm myself up. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:35 3
        
        But he might have heard the dude you were jamming. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:36 2
        
        and spill my cocoa? eff that noise. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:38

      - I think Hoodie was hoping that some of those points would go toward last week's game. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 13:34
    - I must teach him in the ways of New England hatey. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:33
    - *laughing* - kelly Oct 21, 13:33
- Detroit -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:30 3
  - that would be my guess as well -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:32 2
    - no, it is hard to draft receivers with the #1 pick every year. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:33 1
      - it is a good way to keep getting another #1 pick -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:34

- the type of memory used. -- nm - decline Oct 21, 13:23
- SSD is basically the same type of memory, but built into a structure which would replace an internal drive. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:23 1
  - That's basically it. You can get SSDs which ard PCI Express cards and you can see they're just a board covered in chips. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 13:29
- SSDs use RAM, I thought, for massive speed boosts over any other kind of storage -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:22 1
  - they used to, dont think they do anymore. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:23
- one is a word, the other an abbreviation. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:22

- a long metal hook -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:27 3
  - While standing in a water puddle? -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:28 2
    - heck no, that's dangerous! you could slip and fall - dogbert Oct 21, 13:30 1
      - "sheltering myself with a large piece of sheet metal....." -- nm - prayformojo Oct 21, 13:31
- electric tree trimmer -- nm - CQ Oct 21, 13:20
- Nuke it from orbit. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 13:19

  - tangent - one of the local daily papers had a cat that was on top of a utlity pole and needed rescuing on THE FRONT PAGE today - Andie Oct 21, 13:39 2
    - this cat, in fact -- (link) - Andie Oct 21, 13:40 1
      - i clicked without seeing your link title... i was just about to say he looks familiar! -- nm - b. Oct 21, 13:47
  - Then call the media and 911 - eag Oct 21, 13:23 1
    - But then the police would beat the hell out of it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:31

  - Thank you SOOOOO much! -- nm - JenBro Oct 21, 13:52
since 2001, seven quarterbacks have been the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft - name them -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:13 36
- Stafford, Russell, Smith, Manning, Couch, Carr, Palmer -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 13:22 3
  - oh, substitute Vick for Couch -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:25 1
    - Couch was #1 in 1999 -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:27
  - I'll reserve judging Stafford, but I'll say the #1 pick choices are 3 for 6 (or 2 for 6 depending on how you rate Vick) -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:24
- stafford, russell, alex smith, eli manning, carr, and vick -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:19 1
  - and carson palmer is the seventh -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:21
- only the two most famous ones (excluding Eli) left -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:18 1
  - ml got them -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:19

  - David Carr, I'll give you that -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:17 2
    - thank you, couldn't remember his name. matt ryan -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:18 1
      - nope -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:19
- Was Stafford #1? -- nm - CQ Oct 21, 13:16 1
  - yes sir -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:17
- was JaMarcus #1? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:16 11
  - yep, -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:16 10
    - he has in his career thrown for less yards than Brady did last week. - groiny Oct 21, 13:19 9
      - he's pacing himself -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:22 1
        
        I am fairly certain I could pass for 75 yards a game over 10 games. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:22
      - [deleted] 6
        
        JaMarcus might very well be the WORST EVER #1 pick. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:21 5
        
        groiny is right! -- nm - jeff george Oct 21, 13:29 1
        
        George was a very respectable player - groiny Oct 21, 13:32
        
        not in a world with Steve Emtman and Ki-Jana Carter. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 13:28 2
        
        Emtman was an injury victim, not self-inflicted -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:31
        
        KiJana was respectable for a year or so. - groiny Oct 21, 13:29
- Eli? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 21, 13:15 1
  - that is another -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:15
- Smith -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 13:14 1
  - there is one -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:15
- Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Happy and Bashful -- nm - decline Oct 21, 13:14 3
  - I'll give you half points on Grumpy, Sleepy, Dopey, and possibly Happy -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:15 2
    - what about Sleazy? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:25 1
      - I am tired, I read this as "Stacy" nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 13:25

  - Digby. -- nm - celedhring Oct 21, 13:11 3
    - Ok - eag Oct 21, 13:13 2

kilbo, most 2nd gen SSD hard drives (i.e. almost anything you find at Newegg these days) are reliable, but you're looking at about $100 for 32Gb. - Mop Oct 21, 13:08 7
- I'm looking at getting two of these for my Mac Pro. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:43 1
  - Doh. Link -- (link) - lileve Oct 21, 13:43
- I'm looking at the WD Black. Seems to score almost as good as the Raptors for $60 for 500GB - oblique Oct 21, 13:10 4
  - for a system drive, Black should be great. (I use Green in my NAS, though) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:20 3
    - WD black has a 5yr warrant, greens only have 3yrs (if I remember right). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:20 2
      - And I think greens are 5400 instead of 7200 -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:40 1
        
        Greens are variable RPM, that's what makes them green. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:42
eag, I like borderlands so far (only 3 hours of game time). - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:06

L5: MouseHunt stuff - nubby Oct 21, 13:01
ike question, is there a greasemonkey script that would allow you to sort the towns on your drop down list? - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:01 6
- I don't know of one and looking at the html code, it's seems maybe possible, but would be hellishly complex to do -- nm - decline Oct 21, 13:10
- IIRC there is one specificaly for ordering them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:08 2
  - ok, so link? - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:09 1
    - Somewhere there was a page of approved scripts. I think it was there. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:14

  - Black Canvas, yes, I believe it did. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 13:09

  - hmm, this reminds me of that scene in Top Secret. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:03 3
    - I was just looking at the screenplay for the same reason. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 13:07
    - GD I m iss me some hawt young Val Kilmer - Epiphany Oct 21, 13:05 1
