        yeah, but... it blows. there are no Hulks. they took a non-factor charcter from the first dozen issues, and gave him his own book? dumb. -- nm - TFox Nov 15, 18:10 2

TAR spoiler question .... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 15, 17:44
Small language question... how would you say "smartass" in a more clean way? - celedhring Nov 15, 17:42 6
- "wiseacre" would work too. -- nm - TFox Nov 15, 17:46
- depends on the context but, "nice going, Einstein" has a similar affect. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 15, 17:44
- smarl alleck (though I'm not sure of the spelling.0 -- nm - Jim Nov 15, 17:44

- he needs to be forcibly retired. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 16:59
- Westbrook should be shut down for the season. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 16:38 6
  - You have McCoy in some leagues, too? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 16:42 5
    - With Congress looking into head injuries. I am sure the NFL is going to lean on Philly to shut him down if not for the season 6 weeks or more. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 16:47 4
      - The NFL would be completely out of line in that case imo - Will Hunting Nov 15, 16:48 3
        
        It won't be an official request. It will be a *hint hint* *wink wink* type advisement. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 16:51 2
        
        And even with a wink wink nod nod, they'd be 100% wrong to do so. - Will Hunting Nov 15, 16:54 1
        
        I think they have a greater need to protect players from themselves and their teams. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 17:01

Shane McMahon met with Dana White last week. interesting. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 16:32 3
- Did he put her in the corner, wedge a trash can between the ropes, climb up top on the opposite corner and go Coast to Coast? -- nm - Qale Nov 15, 16:34 2
  - I think Dana would give Shane a run for his money. Dana runs UFC. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 16:42 1
    - and is a gy -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 15, 16:42
That meaningless Romo TD probably just kept me on top of my best money league. -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 16:31
I want to watch Serenity over and over because of its mostly coolness, but Glau's overly weepy ridiculous jackboots in a dress makes it a real chore. -- nm - Max Nov 15, 16:28 2
- Everything up to that comma (save the "mostly") is genius. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 16:37 1
  - heh -- nm - Max Nov 15, 17:04
nfl coaches really need to teach/focus on wr's dragging their toes at the sidelines -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 15, 16:28

I think there's going to be a coaching and QB questions in Dallas this year. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 16:03 10
- What question? Mike Shanahan will be replacing Wade Phillips. nm - Jim Nov 15, 16:10 3
  - Jason Garrett's gonna be pissed when that happens. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 16:13 2
    - If Jason Garrett were the real deal, the Cowboys would be running away with the East. -- nm - Jim Nov 15, 16:24 1
      - I think you're right. But I thought his last contract made him a frontrunner to replace Wade. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 17:14
- You should always have coaching questions when Wade Phillips is your head coach. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 16:08 3
  - Or when Dan Snyder is the owner -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 16:09 2
    - Snyder owns the Redskins. We're talking about the Cowboys. Try and keep up. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 15, 16:12 1
      - It was a Wade Phillips reference. He has coached for more teams than the Cowboys. Hence, it opened up the discussion to - Redmond Nov 15, 16:18

Romo you are killing me today!!! -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 15:49 3
- How is a fumble recovery not reviewable? -- nm - Stephen Nov 15, 15:54 2
  - Ok, they're saying the recovery of a fumble in the field of play isn't challengeable - Stephen Nov 15, 15:59
  - Can't tell you about that play. I am getting the Cardinal's game -- nm - Redmond Nov 15, 15:56
