Good job with the rooting, people. You wished the ref into ignoring obvious pass interference on that last 4th down play. -- nm - David Sep 6, 20:46 3
- He had his head turned and was going for the ball, no PI! -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 20:49
- and by pass interference you mean it went in and out of the hands of the receiver through no fault of the DB - safety sam Sep 6, 20:47 1
  - (because the defender was grabbing his hand) - David Sep 6, 20:48

To claim your free* pony, - prayformojo Sep 6, 20:38 7
- BANHAMMER! -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 21:36
- Deal! Additional $500 if you make it a donkey. And he can kick field goals of 60+ yards or more, and play for an NFL team, because of a rule loop-hole -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:42 1
  - now you're just being silly -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 20:43

max, there are gonna be a lot of happy, drunk Boise State chicks all over the bars in DC tonight - safety sam Sep 6, 20:35
These announcers are total asstards. 5 minutes ago they were writing BSU's obituary. Now it's nothing but praise. - Trish Sep 6, 20:35 2
- Musberger hates that they're going to spoil his precious BCS system -- nm - safety sam Sep 6, 20:36 1

  - That was my exact thought. There is a lot of time left -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 20:28

I thought she was crazy, but Kim pointed out that Will Ferrell's junk was on TBS last night...and TiVo confirms it. - David Sep 6, 20:15

What would cause my laptop to suddenly have the cursor reset to a random location in a paragraph? - Will Hunting Sep 6, 19:55 20
- Does it have a pointing stick? - JD Sep 6, 20:14
- It seems like all I need to do is get my hand vaguely near the touchpad and crazy shit happens. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 6, 20:11 13
  - I loathe the touch pad on my laptop. it'll freak out over nothing. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 6, 20:45 3
    - I've seen the way you handle your phone. Why can't you treat me like that instead of that floozy? -- nm - Mel's Touch Pad Sep 6, 20:54 2

        Be careful of those double negatives. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 6, 20:38 1
        
        I've said too much. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 6, 20:43

ST Poll: Going to Vegas, need to narrow down who to bet on to win the SB - flavorize Sep 6, 19:49 29
- who are the "them? Really, them?" teams to win the Super Bowl in the last little while? - Reagen Sep 6, 20:01 11
  - Tampa? -- nm - Roger More Sep 6, 20:08
  - Depending on your criteria, New Orleans and the Giants. -- nm - David Sep 6, 20:05 6
    - my criteria would be teams that, going into the season, would inspire laughter as a choice for a SB winner. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:06 5
      - I believe that the Saints were double-digit long shots last pre-season, no? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 6, 21:05 1
        
        Old odds are tough to find. They go down the memory hole for good reason (for the sportsbooks) -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 21:09
      - Who would be that team (that could pull it off this year)? Redskins? Bears? - flavorize Sep 6, 20:12 1
        
        I'd be a lot more likely to bet on the Redskins than the Jets. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:17
      - I think it's a hard thing to quantify since opinions vary. - David Sep 6, 20:11
  - Giants -- nm - safety sam Sep 6, 20:05 1
    - only because of their opponent. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 20:06
  - Ravens caught me by surprise. Never looked twice at the Giants (in the beginning), the year they won. -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:05
- Vikings but only if the festering corpse of Brett Favre survives that long. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:58 1
  - I bet on the Vikings, as one of my teams, the last two years. This year, my Farve hatey is holding me back -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:07
- I think it will be the Packers year -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 19:57
- Chargers is the only team out of that group I'd bother with. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 19:53 3
  - If it were a bet on making the playoffs, I'd agree. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 6, 20:36
  - I'd agree. I think the 49er's are a year away -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 19:55 1
    - Originally, I was thinking of doing two bets, one AFC and one NFC. Will makes a great point about Sanchez, I feel the same way about A. Smith -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:02
- Bengals are a good longshot. Good defense, Decent offense. Could get hot late. Chargers would be my next choice for a safer pick. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 6, 19:50 3
  - Bengals are intriguing. Palmer has to stay healthy -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 19:56 2
    - 29-1 odds is a good bet on them. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 6, 19:57 1
      - Very true. Definitely appealing odds -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 20:07
- Jets at gunpoint maybe, but all six feel like throwing your money away. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:50 3
  - I really like the schedules of the 49ers and Bolts. The talent of the Vikes and Jets, and the "What if" sleeperness of the other two. - flavorize Sep 6, 19:53 2
    - Schedule means nothing on SB bets. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 6, 20:28
    - Maybe I'm crazy, but I am loving the Jets hype this year. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 19:55
- Bengals -- nm - Dano Sep 6, 19:50 1
  - Excellent! -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 19:55
here's a short article about the restaurant Mark wanted to take Peggy to for her birthday on Mad Men -- (link) - safety sam Sep 6, 19:45
I've talked to Tivo customer service twice in the past few days. Love was neither expressly stated or implied. - prayformojo Sep 6, 19:44 4
- I don't think they show love until you've had about 6 of them . David is like the Kate Goslin of the recordable television world. -- nm - Trish Sep 6, 19:53 1
  - Does this mean Kim has a large collection of tacky Ed Hardy shirts? -- nm - Ender Sep 6, 20:02
- Did you use your sexy voice? -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:46 1
  - i always do -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 19:47
Musburger sounds like he has a Boise State voodoo doll in the press box with him - safety sam Sep 6, 19:40
Just finished Dexter S4....wow (spoilers) - oblique Sep 6, 19:36 4

- spoils - Trish Sep 6, 19:44 1
  - To both of your IMs. Word, awesome and VERY Word -- nm - flavorize Sep 6, 19:50
- Yeah. -- nm - nubby Sep 6, 19:39

- PS: So pixie, need an A/C unit? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 6, 19:36 6
  - air conditioners are for pussies -- nm - safety sam Sep 6, 19:37 5
    - Well, call me a pussy then, - Trish Sep 6, 19:47 4
      - I vote you pay someone to do it so you can enjoy watching :D - JenBro Sep 6, 20:00 1
        
        I can do it for free. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 6, 20:02
      - in LA, i mean. - safety sam Sep 6, 19:49 1
        
        Heh, we've already cooled down, with the exception of a couple days last week in the 80s. Highs in the 60s-70s, lows in the 40s. -- nm - Trish Sep 6, 20:05
Wentworth Miller from Prison Break will be in Resident Evil as Chris Redfield. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 19:34 6
- And I hear that Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church are the villains in Spider-Man 3. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:37
- Is that the master of unlocking things? -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:35 4
  - Jill Valentine! -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:39 3
    - oh well. Perhaps the role will call for low pitched murmuring. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:40 2
      - Chris was last scene killing a large number of Africans. - David Sep 6, 19:44 1
        
        Scene/seen. Same diff. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:44
As long as Pressley hangs up on the Butterfinger people, Dano. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:34 6
- She's done Zaxby's. Is that even a national chain? -- nm - Dano Sep 6, 19:39 5
  - Never heard of it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 20:00
  - We have one. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:43 2
    - I thought it was regional to the Southeast. -- nm - Dano Sep 6, 19:45 1
      - I'd never heard of it prior to last year. -- nm - David Sep 6, 19:48
  - I wasn't sure if this was food or a jewelry store, so that's probably your answer. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 19:41
Less than 24 hours until the new seson of Sons of Anarchy. Charlie Hunan, yum. - Trish Sep 6, 19:33 3
