    - erm...that's not fatal - ty97 Nov 16, 15:05 1
      - Didn't mean to suggest it was fatal, just wondering if perhaps there were some neurological issues. - musubi Nov 16, 15:09
  - released, sorry. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 15:01
- oof. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 14:59

  - And Kari Wuhrer. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 14:53 18

        you don't remember Ridiculously Sexy IRS Agent? -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 15:04 4
        
        I honestly don't. MTV (or someone) should bring this show back. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 15:10 3
        
        oh. on Jericho. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 15:12 2

  - agreed. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:51
Lost in all of the Hoody debate is that sometime last night, I think, the Colts officially became the Red Sox to New England's Yankees. - Jim Nov 16, 14:49 26
- i dont get this at all. i thought it was an extremely enjoyable game to watch. -- nm - Guy Nov 16, 14:55 1
  - It was a good game. The Saints/Rams game was also a good game...doesn't mean I have to like the teams. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 14:56
- I'm somewhat surprised that just happened for you last night. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 14:51 3
  - Actually, I think it's been brewing for awhile and just came to a head yesterday when I couldn't decide who I wanted to win. - Jim Nov 16, 14:53 2
    - The key difference, of course, being that under a salary cap there is no real unfair advantage that the Pats and Colts have... - TFox Nov 16, 14:55 1
      - Without a doubt. But that's not the only reason I can't stand the Yankees/Sox. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 14:56
- you just blew my mind -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 14:51
- I don't care what anybody says, I can not hate Peyton Manning. - musubi Nov 16, 14:51 18
  - I can't think of a single reason to hate the Colts... - Stephen Nov 16, 14:54 5
    - he seemed like a humourless football robot for quite some time. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 14:56 4
      - He is wickedly funny. Edge has a really great anecdote along those lines... - David Nov 16, 15:00 2
        
        heh. its really no coincidence that the best QBs are the ones having the most fun on the field -- nm - Guy Nov 16, 15:01 1
        
        Are you suggesting it's more fun to be good at something than to suck? - musubi Nov 16, 15:12
      - Laser Rocket Arm cured all that. - musubi Nov 16, 14:57
  - He has earned his reputation as the patron saint of Knoxville. The charity work he does here is all encompassing. -- nm - David Nov 16, 14:53 5
    - Which reminds me, his United Way parody on SNL? Still a standard bearer for athletes in comedy. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 14:55 4
      - I was reading a thing the other day about how he completely ad-libbed the port-a-potty bit with the kid. - David Nov 16, 14:56 2
        
        This just makes me like him more. He's such a great interview too. - musubi Nov 16, 14:59
        
        Supposedly the live run though before the broadcast was 20 times funnier than what aired. He has a dvd of it that SNL gave him. -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 14:59
      - that is true. i will not deny that. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 14:56
  - Of all the reasons to not hate him, your IM might list the weirdest one. - TFox Nov 16, 14:52 3
    - No, he just appears on the cover of every male fashion magazine there is... - Stephen Nov 16, 14:53
    - Dude, did you see the Sony with the animation? That was *awesome*. - musubi Nov 16, 14:53 1
      - Relatedly, there is a new Toshiba commercial about a woman who learns football in 3 weeks that is *phenomenal*. - David Nov 16, 14:54
  - I don't hate Manning, I'm just sick of him. And honestly, it's not even his fault. nm -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 14:51 1
    - obviously, its the Broncos fault. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:54
11:43pm and I'm working. What. the. hell. - ty97 Nov 16, 14:43 1
- no sex life. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:48
Hey Truman - eag Nov 16, 14:43 2
- i havent checked, and yes. sorta - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:46 1
  - Oh ok - eag Nov 16, 14:54
There should also be female distribution centers for the males. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 16, 14:41
I remember several years back there was a no-kick high school coach who either won a state title or got close. - Reagen Nov 16, 14:40 8
- is this about the extra points after a touch down? Children kick. Real men go for it. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 14:48 1
  - I really don't understand why this sport is called "football". -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 15:09
- see, when playing video games, I never punt, I always run a play on 4th down. - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:48
- Here's a very recent ESPN video about a coach who took this position. -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 16, 14:47
- If nothing else, I love the debate this play has stirred up. - David Nov 16, 14:41 2
  - Agreed. This is *by far* the most interesting discussion on NFL football I've had in *years*. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 14:46 1
    - next week will see the giants fail and football will be back to normalcy. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 14:46
- about 4 years ago Sherwood HS went to the Oregon State finals without a kicker and lost a very close game -- nm - Guy Nov 16, 14:41
Poll: In the last year, how many letters have you mailed that you used a stamp, and compare that to 10 years ago. - JaxSean Nov 16, 14:39 13
- Just the monthly one to the gas company... who charges $5 *extra* to pay online. Fuckers. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 16, 15:00
- I've probably mailed more in the last month than the whole previous year. All that post-employment paperwork. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 16, 14:50
- I mail my cable bill. I have ING Direct mail my rent check. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 14:47
- ze-ro. -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 14:45
- i actually do use the mail still, occasionally. i try to mail birthday cards to my friends, and i always mail christmas cards. - Elf Andie Nov 16, 14:42 2
  - Yup, and we send packages by mail fairly regularly. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 14:48
  - [deleted]
- I guess the thank you cards, but ordinarly it'd be almost none. Parcels, on the other hand... -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 14:41
- um, zero. So ... equal. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 14:40 4
  - (Oh, scratch that - I sent about 35 wedding invitations that way) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 14:40 3
    - So what you're saying is....Gay Marriage will *save* the post office. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 14:41 2
      - Don't put this all on me, I can't handle the pressure!! *kills his co workers with his bedazzler gun* -- nm - Bernie the Gay Postman Nov 16, 14:59 1
        
        The Postman Always Bedazzles Twice -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 15:00
