- What did you think of Anvil? It's kind of a tragic comedy, eh? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 7, 21:32 2
  - i didn't find it tragic. they lived and created their music on their own terms, even if they didn't achieve the kind of success they envisioned - dj roomba Feb 7, 21:35 1
    - tragic would have been: (1) achieving Bon Jovi/GNR level fame and money and pissing it away on drugs or booze; or (2) just giving up altogether - dj roomba Feb 7, 21:49

- The Scotties were really wild this year. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 23:39
Okay, so now who are your picks for next year's Super Bowl? -- nm - Dano Feb 7, 20:31 15
- Steelers vs. the losing NFC team, of course. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 7, 21:43
- No reason to think the Colts won't avenge this loss. Colts over Pack. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 21:20 8
  - Colts won't have that easy passing sched again. Coyer's Ds seem to fall apart too. SB (losing) teams seem to fall apart the next year too. - flavorize Feb 7, 22:01 3
    - I agree, but I can give you just as many arguments going against the other teams. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 22:03 2
      - Totally agree, impossible to pick. If you see the odds, for next year's SB winner, that come out tomorrow vs Week 1 odds. They'll be WAY different - flavorize Feb 7, 22:07 1
        
        Here's the odds I'm seeing - Reagen Feb 7, 22:19 1

- Titans v. Packers. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 21:11
- Vikings (if Farve returns or McNabb goes there) vs Houston (or Miami or Balitmore, basically if Brandon Marshall goes to those teams) -- nm - flavorize Feb 7, 21:02
- Detroit vs. Browns -- nm - Redmond Feb 7, 20:33 1
  - you're not going to put seahawks up there? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 7, 23:53
So now that the whole game is over and the commercials and all that. LYC: FINALLY, Qale has come BACK to NetFlix. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 20:09
6 for 16 on my Superbowls Bets. (I was expecting that kind of score, but switch teams.) Still made $20. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 20:07

  - I think it has potential. - b! Feb 7, 20:06 4
    - Open? He has a National Audience watching him. - Redmond Feb 7, 20:10 2
      - You know, not ever "suit" is an evil puppy kicking satan worshiper -- nm - Stephen Feb 7, 20:12 1
        
        I am not saying they are. I am saying if they were how would you ever know when the cameras are on them? - Redmond Feb 7, 20:15
    - Agreed. - Stephen Feb 7, 20:09
  - This guy is going to go back to his office and layoff 10% of his workers when the cameras are gone. -- nm - Redmond Feb 7, 19:56
- Exactly!! Funny I was thinking the same thing. -- nm - Redmond Feb 7, 19:54

why did we even bother having all those telethons? all we had to do was give New Orleans a Lombardi trophy and everything would be magically better -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:45 1
- It's a shame Haiti doesn't have an NFL team. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 7, 20:20
Is it Pitchers and Catchers yet? -- nm - David Feb 7, 19:43 5
- Every night in West Hollywood. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 19:52 4
  - rumors! -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:56 3
    - Anything to get a script in the door right? - Qale Feb 7, 19:58 2
      - fool me twice, shame on me -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 20:00 1
        
        go wash Bay's car! -- nm - Remlik Feb 7, 20:12

For the first time in quite a while, I saw the Superbowl with the American ads, it was pretty sweet -- nm - Guigue Feb 7, 19:33
How can you intentionally try to be overt, and still be over the top annoying? I'm looking at you Go Daddy advertising. - musubi Feb 7, 19:32 10
- I only have them as my webhost because I think they're more offensive than my content is. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 19:39
- my only question is who told Danica Patrick that it would at all enhance her image to do them -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:33 8
  - Seriously. This certainly doesn't help my impression of her. - musubi Feb 7, 19:35
  - How else do you convince people you're a sexy woman with her personality other than overtly say it? - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:34 6
    - You keep saying this, like her personality matters *at all*. - musubi Feb 7, 19:36 5
      - Sure it does....hot woman without any personality is less hot to most people - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:39 4
        
        Yeah, because Kim Kardashian does ad spots and magazine covers cause her winning personality. (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:40 2
        
        Kardashian's got more personality than Danica imo by far. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:44 1
        
        Your logic there is so baffling, I'm just gonna tip my cap and say, "well played". (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:48
        
        Yes please! -- nm - Redmond, Saints fans you are welcome! Feb 7, 19:39
rare print interview w/ Bill Murray. supermega GB III spoiler -- (link) - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:30 2
- The Groundhog Day box office comment rings hollow considering this weekend. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 19:44
- Wow, he's not conceited. GB2 sucked; I had 2 scenes and they were the only 2 funny ones in the movie. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:33
mara: Exactly. It's the Dodge Stratus for this decade, with some extra testosterone thrown in. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:28
will The Marriage Ref suck more or less than Undercover Boss. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 19:25 17
- Marriage ref looks *horrid*. - musubi Feb 7, 19:29
- I can't imagine it (or anything) sucking more. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 7, 19:27
- Every ad I see of Marriage Ref makes me wonder exactly how that guy was popular. - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:27 11
  - he made the smart move of being the straight guy and surrounding himself with three actually funny actors/characters -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:31 8
    - Possibly the most overrated sitcom in the history of television. (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:33 7
      - You and I don't agree much, but this is spot on - amoxy Feb 7, 19:41 2
        
        It's a great comedy for smart people. I found it very funny. - Redmond Feb 7, 19:42 1
        
        Those two sentences are contradictory. I believe the second one is true. (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:44
      - When it was on, it was *golden* (Master of Domain) but otherwise, it's aged terribly. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:35 2
        
        I said this while it was on. It was obvious it wouldn't age well. - musubi Feb 7, 19:37
        
        Yeah, I remember liking it when it was on but reruns do not hold up at all. -- nm - Tim Feb 7, 19:37
      - Booooooo! -- nm - Redmond, Saints fans you are welcome! Feb 7, 19:34
  - seinfeld's not even in the commercials, right? -- nm - sluttella Feb 7, 19:28 1
    - Every one I've seen says, "Brought to you by Jerry Seinfeld." - Will Hunting Feb 7, 19:31
- even without having seen either, more. much much more. -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:25 1
  - I think you're right. -- nm - sluttella Feb 7, 19:26
- Marriage ref can't be worse than this -- nm - Redmond, Saints fans you are welcome! Feb 7, 19:25
wait, 8/12 now that I look at it again. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 19:23
This show is lame. -- nm - Inigo Feb 7, 19:22 1
- I love the fake over the top bad acting sympathy for his hard working employees. -- nm - Redmond, Saints fans you are welcome! Feb 7, 19:25
Thank god that silliness is over. Now we can get to stuff that actually matters.... - musubi Feb 7, 19:22 12
- like my potatos? They turned out alright, after a bunch of microwaving. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:27 1
  - Yay!! for Bery's potatoes! -- nm - mara Feb 7, 19:46
- You mean the draft right? - Stephen Feb 7, 19:25 8
  - No, I said important, not overrated. (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:30 7
    - Don't make me slap you. -- nm - David Feb 7, 19:38 5
      - Mel Kiper Jr laughs all the way to the bank off of marks like you. (nm) - musubi Feb 7, 19:43 4
        
        That doesn't even make sense. I was mocking Kiper a decade before it became trendy. -- nm - David Feb 7, 19:48 3
        
        He's as good predicting the draft and Bill Kramer (Mad Money) is at picking stocks. -- nm - Redmond Feb 7, 19:50 2
        
        Bill's no Jim Kramer, that's for sure -- nm - dj roomba Feb 7, 19:52 1
        
        Oops -- nm - Redmond Feb 7, 19:53
    - The Combine then? -- nm - Redmond, Saints fans you are welcome! Feb 7, 19:31
