I hope David is right about those best teams. Well, at least the AFC team. - the wrong element, bad guy May 10, 11:36 14

- the Jets scare me -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 11:38 2
  - I think they're one of the bes teams in the AFC. - the wrong element, bad guy May 10, 11:47
  - But so does a loud noise. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:40
- really though, replacing Russell with anything would be a major upgrade -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:38 7
  - I don't think Mischa Barton has the pocket presence you need for Oakland's schemes. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 11:40 2
    - I think being drunk and stoned at the snap can only help if you're Raiders QB. -- nm - David May 10, 11:43
    - though her completion to interception ratio would still be better -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:42
  - Naw, you can't replace Russell Hantz. :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 10, 11:39 2
    - I RUN this team! -- nm - Russell May 10, 11:40 1
      - He'd make such a good San Diego Charger. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:40
  - There you go. Survivor: Tribal Trades. -- nm - psilotum May 10, 11:38
last week i was working 12+ hour days. this week, i have almost nothing to do. - tRuMaN May 10, 11:32 9
- *nipple rub* -- nm - Beaker May 10, 11:33 1
  - L3 -- nm - SyrDragon May 10, 11:37
- 4 houer days this week huh? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 10, 11:33
- excellent time to polish your resume and start looking! -- nm - Andie May 10, 11:33 5
  - need to pass the CPA exam first. the suddenly i will see a lot more interest from the resume. - tRuMaN May 10, 11:34 4
    - good time to study. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:38 3
      - didnt bring that stuff to work with me -- nm - tRuMaN May 10, 11:39 2
        
        bring it tomorrow. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:43
        
        Maybe that thing called the internet has some materials you could read/study from? -- nm - Shaun May 10, 11:41
How are these two statements not logically at odds with each other? (from SI's Peter King) - prayformojo May 10, 11:28 10
- Well... - Ender May 10, 11:33
- He confuses performance enhancing with general criminality. - Will Hunting May 10, 11:32
- One directly impacts on-field performance while the other is about outside-the-game character. -- nm - David May 10, 11:32 1
  - One hurts the game, the other hurts an image. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 10, 11:38
- because they're completely different? on field/against rules vs. off-field and illegal/immoral. -- nm - b. May 10, 11:30
- postseason is not post career? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 10, 11:29
- perfomance enhancing does not equal thuggish scumbaggery -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:29 3
  - i suppose. but then hypothetically - prayformojo May 10, 11:32 2
    - That would be consistent with both of those statements. -- nm - Ender May 10, 11:34
    - if he was consistent yes - but ultimately you're talking about Peter King -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:32
I don't care which show does it, but I want to see both Simon Baker and James Roday together in a TV episode -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:27 9
- Crossover episodes! They both respond to the same crime scene and race to solve the case first. - TWuG May 10, 11:33 5
  - or neither solve it but Maggie Lawson and Robin Tunney end up in bed together -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:37 4
    - remove Tuney, add the redhead from the mentalist and you are correct. -- nm - tRuMaN May 10, 11:38 2
      - she bangin -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:39 1
        
        Though I'm sort of amused at the lengths they go to hide her linebacker shoulders. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 11:39
    - You sir, have the best post on this board, or dare I say, any yet today. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 11:38
- Bonus points if the episode has them chase each other around while yakety-sax plays in the background - prayformojo May 10, 11:29 2
  - yakety sax is my ringtone -- nm - Dano May 10, 11:37
  - through a hallway where they enter multiple doors and come out different doors! -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:30
the waiting has begun .. -- nm - marcel May 10, 11:26 1
- I've heard that its the hardest part -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:28
I didn't see Iron Man 2 on the weekend. Bummer. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 11:26
Chipotle opens first London restaurant -- (link) - oblique May 10, 11:23
Our apartment complex is now asking us to get renter's insurance with them listed on the policy. Has anyone here ever had this happen? -- nm - David May 10, 11:20 29
- for my clients who are land lords, we actually have a special lease addendum for them to add that requires the tenant to carry coverage - JenBro May 10, 11:49
- They're the #1 suspects if you turn up in a trunk of a car. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) May 10, 11:40
- Only reason I can think of, that would be legit, is that they might be notified of policy cancellation -- nm - scorpion May 10, 11:30 1
  - But there is no legal reason they should care. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:32
- Nope, never. That seems very odd to me. -- nm - Stephen May 10, 11:29
- Run it by your lawyer. Having the insurance is a good idea, but it's meant to protect your property not the dwelling. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 11:25 5
  - renter's insurance is content insurance. The landlord needs building insurance, afaik, which is different. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 11:29
  - That is my point below. If the ceiling collapses it is your landlord's responsibility to replace your damaged belongings but if they are named I - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:27 3
    - we have to have liability insurance for 1 million per our lease. -- nm - Andie May 10, 11:32 2
      - Canada may differ, but at least in Indiana liabilitty falls on the owner, regadless. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:33 1
        
        i was never required to have it before, just here. -- nm - Andie May 10, 11:34
- never. that is weird. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:23
- Never. I mean, having it is great and I endorse it, but I don't know why it would be mandated or have them listed on it. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:23
- I'm not sure why you would list them.... you're not covering their property. -- nm - scorpion May 10, 11:22
- why would they need to be listed on the policy? - znufrii May 10, 11:22 10
  - That's why I'm asking. -- nm - David May 10, 11:22 9
    - we have to do this when we rent film equipment. you just get a 'named insured certificate', it shouldn't even cost anything. - Andie May 10, 11:31
    - My first paranoid thought is elaborate scam. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 11:23 7
      - the only thing I can think of is it's their way of trying to get around having to carry liability insurance. -- nm - znufrii May 10, 11:24 4
        
        That wouldn't work, but I could see them trying to get the renter's insurance to split costs on some losses. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:25 3
        
        but my renter's covers only my possessions, none of theirs, so I don't see how that works. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:26 2
        
        See above. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:27 1
        
        Your nickname, while neat, is really throwing me for a loop today :) I think I keep mistaking you for Nitemare or something. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 10, 11:42
      - Yup. -- nm - scorpion May 10, 11:24
      - That's why I'm asking. -- nm - David May 10, 11:24
- No. And I sorta do that for a living. Call your agent (if you have one) andd see what they think. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:22
- I've been required to get a policy, but never to have the landlord listed -- nm - decline May 10, 11:21 1
  - yep. -- nm - b. May 10, 11:43
- I can't for the life of me imagine why. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 11:21
So I'm trying to think of a show/movie in which detectives attend a funeral to try to read the reactions of suspects in the killing who will be - prayformojo May 10, 11:12 24
- Bones had a funeral home ep -- nm - SyrDragon May 10, 11:37
- Mentalist did this too. -- nm - tRuMaN May 10, 11:15 18
  - I love these two posts in combination. - David May 10, 11:20 17
    - "It's done in a lot of crime stories." -- nm - Reagen May 10, 11:20 1
      - Oh, hush. -- nm - David May 10, 11:21
    - Not yet, but its got to be coming next season -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:20
    - i have no idea what that means -- nm - tRuMaN May 10, 11:20 13
      - Mentalist is a form of Psych ripoff and Psych refers to it all the time -- nm - Beaker May 10, 11:21 12
        
        It doesn't seem like a rip off at all to me. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:24 8
        
        Oh come on, a second "fake psychic" show launches on the heels of the success of the first one and it's just a coincidence? - Stephen May 10, 11:32 7
        
        The fact that the shows are completely, utterly different in tone doesn't mean anything to you? - loosilu May 10, 11:40 1
        
        its true. The Mentalist is not a comedy. Very funny, but not a comedy. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:41
        
        except that in the Mentalist, spoilers i guess - tRuMaN May 10, 11:33 3
        
        So they changed a modicum of details on the 'talent'. You say potayto, I say potahto. - Will Hunting May 10, 11:35 2
        
        see, i dont see it. - tRuMaN May 10, 11:43 1
        
        So they both involve people with great detail-recognition solving crimes. - Will Hunting May 10, 11:45
        
        the Red John character is gold though -- nm - Beaker May 10, 11:33
        
        honstly, after watching both, i dont see it as being a rip off. - tRuMaN May 10, 11:21
        
        The most blatant ripoff since Ax and Smash. -- nm - David May 10, 11:21 1
        
        Ayup -- nm - Stephen May 10, 11:27
- Psych, at the funeral for the sea lion. -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:14 1
  - Really? There is my problem with the show. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:14
- Leverage was the most recent. It's done in a lot of crime stories. -- nm - David May 10, 11:13
- Sounds like a Psych episode. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:13
So, if I'm reading the bb's correctly: A gay SCOTUS Justice is only a big deal if they make a big stink about being gay? - TWuG May 10, 11:11 30
- [deleted] 18
  - [deleted] 17
    - Because it's a BIG DEAL by virtue of it not being a BIG ISSUE. Hell, I had no clue she was rumored to be gay until it was discussed - TWuG May 10, 11:24 8
      - [deleted] 7
        
        *I* care that she's gay, inasmuch as it's a nice step forward. The White House cares because I care and lots in their base care. - TWuG May 10, 11:31 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Does she? Discussion on my list says she lives openly with her partner, is open about their relationship with her staff and former employers. She - TWuG May 10, 11:42 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted]
        
        fwiw, that's not my read on what he's saying. - b. May 10, 11:47
        
        "I care." -- nm - Luke Skywalker May 10, 11:28
    - I think you've been reading him wrong all morning. -- nm - JaxSean May 10, 11:21 1
      - which speaks volumes about something. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:23
    - [deleted] 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        So until she stands in front of microphones and shouts "I'M A LESBIAN," you won't believe that she is? Odd. -- nm - JaxSean May 10, 11:29 1
        
        [deleted]
    - He said basically exactly what TWuG said. That it's an exciting landmark for gay people. Which it is. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:20 1
      - JackDawson's ass is an exciting landmark for gay people as well, and you don't hear us talking about that so much, do you? - znufrii May 10, 11:32
- Don't ask, don't tell. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:13
- I don't get the media mentioning her sexuality. I mean they never mentioned Obama's race or Sotomajor's ethnicity... -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:12 9
  - heh -- nm - psilotum May 10, 11:24
  - I only think they are bringing it up because they want to run the "first gay SC justice" headline, smell smoke, and are looking for the fire. -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:14 7
    - They smell a story. It *is* a story. Hell, I'm gobsmacked that her sexuality isn't more of an issue. - TWuG May 10, 11:19
    - [deleted] 3
      - maybe the WH went batcrap because they wanted everyone to know -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:24 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        the only way for them to get publicity is to deny it - its counterintuitive but it works in a machiavellian way -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:28
    - Let them run with it. The sooner its over with, the quicker it won't be a big deal in the future. -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:16 1
      - This seems common at SCOTUS confirmation time. The public starts caring about all sorts of inane bs that they instantly stop caring about post-confirm -- nm - TFox May 10, 11:18
Since this fortune is obviously not meant for me, who wants it? -- nm - Dano May 10, 11:09 5
- kelly -- nm - tRuMaN May 10, 11:10
- me! -- nm - kelly May 10, 11:09 3
  - The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make him your friend. -- nm - Dano May 10, 11:10 2
    - (oral) -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:14
    - hmm, thanks. (I don't like this one, either!) -- nm - kelly May 10, 11:10
[deleted] 7
- wait till Will finds that is the Tiger I'm bringing him -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:09 6
  - If you can bring that Tiger, it'll still be worth it. - Will Hunting May 10, 11:18 3
    - and hey, if he's in *your* room, at least you know where he *isn't*. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 11:24
    - now that is a *master* plan -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:19 1
      - Thank god I have you here as the facilitator. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 11:35
  - No fair. How hard could it be to get *that* Tiger into a hotel room? All you need is a waitress from Stuckey's as bait. -- nm - TWuG May 10, 11:12 1
    - and instead of Tyson punching me, Elin will chase me with a 7-iron -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:14
The thing about that monkey in #34 - Reagen May 10, 11:04 3
- Well done, I couldn't find the joke. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 11:07
- good call,that is exactly what he looks like -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:06
- and #17 is his sworn enemy -- nm - znufrii May 10, 11:05
FNL is not enough reason to have Direct TV. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:04 8
- Also, Will might want to check his On Demand. - the wrong element, bad guy May 10, 11:28
- But Comcast is. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:25
- Word. -- nm - Jim May 10, 11:10
- NFL Sunday Ticket is though -- nm - Stephen May 10, 11:08 2
  - Maybe if I was single. - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:11 1
    - Word...again. -- nm - Jim May 10, 11:24
- its the best choice of what is available to me -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:08 1
  - True. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 11:12
*oranges it up* -- nm - znufrii May 10, 11:04
kitty! -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 11:04 1
- nice kitty! -- nm - crash davis May 10, 11:08
