      - I wonder if the trout lips she acquired a few years ago make her less hot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 07:26
      - Look but don't touch. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 07:24
      - She's one of those "incredibly hot to look at, but when she speaks becomes much less hot" women. - JaxSean Nov 24, 07:22

"The White House estimates that the government�s tab for servicing the (national) debt will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019" - Loyola Nov 24, 06:43 2
- The real question: What will that 700 billion be as a percentage of GDP. -- nm - TWuG Nov 24, 06:47 1
  - Interest payments come from the current account, and represent yearly outgoings from the government revenue generated. Very roughly, 700bn from a gov - Loyola Nov 24, 07:17
Ok fantasy players...need some advice for my money league...(spoils) - Jim Nov 24, 06:42 13
- Wayne and Brees are some damned fine keepers dude. -- nm - Shaun Nov 24, 06:49 9
  - My bad...our keeper rules are that we can only keep players drafted 4th round or lower. - Jim Nov 24, 06:51 8
    - Well, then realistically, who's going to trade for either of these guys? I assume the teams that are trying to win have quality at QB & WR - Will Hunting Nov 24, 07:08 6
      - I have a guy offering me Felix Jones and Vincent Jackson (both keeper eligible) for Reggie Wayne. - Jim Nov 24, 07:16 5
        
        I'd go for that, I think. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 07:26
        
        That might not even hurt you down the stretch. I would probably do that. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 07:17 3
        
        That's kinda what I was thinking. -- nm - Jim Nov 24, 07:20 2
        
        Actually... I would definitely do that. Keepable Vincent trumps non-keepable Wayne all day. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 07:21 1

- I have mixed emotions, I hate what it's going to do to the neighborhood but I really want a major sports team in Brooklyn. - Krusty Nov 24, 07:00 9
  - and, I must admit, the new design for the stadium doesn't look horrible. - znufrii Nov 24, 07:04 6
    - I have many concerns and the lack of housing going up around it as planned is huge problem. - Krusty Nov 24, 07:09 5
      - I like Gehry's style, generally speaking, I just think it works better for standalone buildings (for example, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA) - znufrii Nov 24, 07:15 4
        
        I'll have to look at more of his work, I don't care for what I've seen though. - Krusty Nov 24, 07:22 3

- The New Jersey Nets play in Brooklyn? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 06:32 8
  - they will, once the stadium is built. -- nm - znufrii Nov 24, 06:37 7
    - (obviously, they're going to change the name as well) -- nm - znufrii Nov 24, 06:38 6
      - it would only be fair to keep the name considering where the Giants and Jets play. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 06:55 5
        
        This has always bothered me. -- nm - Krusty Nov 24, 07:12 1
        
        Not people saying it, that they play in another state. -- nm - Krusty Nov 24, 07:13

    - Ummmm...how so? -- nm - kelly Nov 24, 07:28 3
      - Your total points scored, and more specifically how little of a fight your opponents have put up. - TFox Nov 24, 07:29 2
        
        well, I guess that makes up for last year, when I had the second-highest points total in the league and didn't make it into the playoffs. :) -- nm - kelly Nov 24, 07:34 1
