fwiw: I asked the sports guys about bob sanders and they know nothing about him not playing. Colts have not said a word. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 13:06 4
- Here is the story I referenced earlier. -- (link) - David Jul 30, 13:10 1
  - Well, the reduction is something a few have done on the team. - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 13:13
- Why announce it now when you can just have him break down opening week? - Will Hunting Jul 30, 13:08 1

- 3 for $60 is awesome. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 13:01 6
  - yeah. Bioshock 2 is a steal for $20 and the best deal I'm seeing lately for it so getting each for $20 is perfect -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 13:08 4
    - Heh, I sold Bioshock 2 *and* the Brady guide on eBay last week. I got $18.50. -- nm - David Jul 30, 13:11 3
      - You should really post that stuff here first. - JaxSean Jul 30, 13:20 2
        
        The problem is that I would have asked for $30. We were surprised it sold for that little. - David Jul 30, 13:40 1
        
        AH -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 13:41
  - that's a solid deal. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 13:01

        Amy's was more of a "spirit of it", but I liked it. - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 13:24

        Wait, I've only seen the pilot and he wasn't in it. Is he really on the show now? -- nm - David Jul 30, 13:08 3
        
        Yes, he shows up in the 2nd episode a minute after they modify the opening credits - Will Hunting Jul 30, 13:09 2
        
        This seriously makes me not want to watch. -- nm - David Jul 30, 13:10 1
        
        I make no comment about his story arc or actual plots as I've not stayed awake to see Eps 2 & 3...but they took the worst guy on Heroes as their - Will Hunting Jul 30, 13:12

How geeky is it that I wanted to respond to the pi question by saying 6 significant digits, rather than 5 decimal places? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 30, 12:56 4

  - jewelry theft, apparently...it's from To Catch a Thief -- nm - David Jul 30, 13:13
The #1 Fantasy player I hate is a Mike Shanahan RB. -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 12:55 5
