The Steelers have looked bad since that first drive -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 15:24 2
- if you jinx this . . . -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 15:27
- Agreed. They look scattered and confused. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 15:27
I thought Reagan was saying that He couldn't undestand why HK hadn't gone to the emabssy, in person. - the liioulu Jan 15, 15:16 3
- I can't blame you, I thought they wanted her to stick a fork in her eye and put a "DEATH TO TUNISIA" shirt before she went out to the embassy -- nm - Guigue Jan 15, 15:20 1
  - L3 -- nm - jnine Jan 15, 15:33
- Well, then, as usual, you've gotten it completely wrong. -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 15:17
This is how people roll in Beverly Hills. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 15:10 [Image]
HAHA! -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 15:04 1
- i was going to say that i missed Jeff Reed but . . . -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 15:08
Do they have that little faith in Suisham that they're getting cute with a 4th and 7 before halftime? - Will Hunting Jan 15, 15:04 3
- Hehe....he still sucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 15:04
- rightfully so seems like :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 15:04
- Yup -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 15:04
No Oscar for you, Ben. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 15:03
WTF is Pittsburgh doing? -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 15:03 1
- They look really scattered -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 15:04
so far, Joe looks like Ben and vice versa - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:48
HEAP! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:47 1
- That was about as perfect a pick play as can be run. -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 14:48
HEAP!!! -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 14:46
At halftime I think the Steelers will be reviewing what a whistle sounds like. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:43 4
- the refs will need arm massages from throwing so many flags -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 14:45 3
  - By accident, you'd think they'd get a few correct. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 14:59 2
    - They might have gotten that Mason PI call correct. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 15:04 1
      - Yeah, that was bad broadcasting. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 15:05
unleash challenge hell, tomlin! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:42
Fumble -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:42
MH: I saw they released Rockstar mice with Ronza. Is there any special loot for them? - celedhring Jan 15, 14:40 2
- dropping charms -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 14:45 1
  - I see...bah, think I'll pass. I haven't advanced in the "main" campaign since early december when they started the whole winter thing. -- nm - celedhring Jan 15, 14:58
FWIW, I totally support the Peru job. -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 14:35
Ah, the Steelers' D has finally started to recognize the screen play. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 14:34
Does anyone still like those "Hey Coach" Coor -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 14:31 4
- i never have -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:32
- still? Did anyone ever like them? -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:32
- SFEK - Does anyone still like those "Hey Coach" Coors Light ads? -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 14:31 1
  - They have grown tiresome -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:32
Hey ST - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:25 52
- Thanks for letting us know you are still safe. You seem remarkably casual about all of this. - Fuzzy Jan 15, 15:11 2
  - Here's a link... (sitwap) - Fuzzy Jan 15, 15:17 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Jan 15, 15:18
- Don't forget, the Embassy is staffed mostly by Tunisians. They have their safety and that of their families on their minds. Keep contacting them - jnine Jan 15, 15:06
- I hope you are safe, but this makes me extra glad my oldest daughter just went to England for a semester abroad. -- nm - landbeck Jan 15, 14:57 1
  - Soccer hooligans! -- nm - jnine Jan 15, 14:59
- keep your head down and safe -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 15, 14:50
- stay safe, and write everything down. you may be able to sell the story :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 14:30 4
  - i'm sure they have more than enough accounts of all this. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:32 3
    - But do they have any accounts that include a talking monkey? -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:39 1
      - Sorry, Dano, but I don't think a Monkeybone sequel is imminent. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:49
    - Good point -- nm - Ernie Hemingway Jan 15, 14:33
- I bet Black Swan was scarier than being in the middle of a revolution. -- nm - Max Swan Jan 15, 14:30
- Have you been able to contact the Embassy? -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:28 35
  - haven't tried although i've been getting good updates from my friend's marine bf who works there. no word from him since last night. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:29 34
    - Plus, aren't you getting close to running out of food? Didn't you say you only had like 2-3 days of food left yesterday? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 14:50 4
      - i'm already pretty much out which is why i've been at a friend's the last 2 nights. i dont have internet at my place! - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:51 3
        
        Does the friend have enough food? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 14:52 2
        
        for now, yeah. i managed to buy a head of lettuce and 2kg of oranges today. haha these times of war... -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:56 1
        
        Stay safe but this sounds like a great adventure. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 15:02
    - also, email the State Dept. in DC where you are,and told to stay put.. they may be easier to reach -- nm - peglegpete Jan 15, 14:35
    - Make sure he knows to come and get you when they evacuate all Amercans. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:31
    - I literally cannot understand why you wouldn't have tried. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 14:29 26
      - Seriously, why would you trust that someone will remember you in such a situation. Has the company that placed you there tried to contact you? - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 14:49
      - This -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 14:32
      - Sure go outside were people are rioting, with guns, when you so obviously aren't Tunisian. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:32 23
        
        one day I hope you will learn to shut your mouth until you know what you're talking about. I don't expect it to be soon, though. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 14:35 3
        
        Sure, if you do the same. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:36 2
        
        ah yes, the "I know you are but what am I" portion of your argument. - Reagen Jan 15, 14:38 1
        
        How is it hurting? -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:40
        
        telephone, dumbass -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:33 18
        
        Seeing that she's been talking to him, I think she's tried. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:35 17
        
        She's getting second hand information from a friend's Marine boyfriend. - Stephen Jan 15, 14:44 13
        
        he *lives* at the embassy here in tunisia. so yeah, i trust his info -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:49 1
        
        Don't. His job is to be the last guy out. Civilians are far more vital in the "OH SHIT METER" than military personnel. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 15:02
        
        Also, no word since last night... -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 14:47 3
        
        No point in even trying, then! -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 14:49 2
        
        Or... - Stephen Jan 15, 14:54
        
        I didn't say that and you are smart enough to know that. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:49
        
        And she can't do anything but sit there for now. Yes, she can contact them, but they'll tell her the same thing. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:47 6
        
        The point is to remind them.. often.. that you are still there. So when something does change they remember your name first. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 14:52
        
        You can't possibly know this until you've talk to someone in charge at the embassy. - Stephen Jan 15, 14:50 4
        
        So you're saying she shouldn't trust a marine? One who's actually at the embassy? -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:53 3
        
        You can't be serious. - Stephen Jan 15, 14:56
        
        The marine is just security there. Is he going to be the one making the decision where to send resources first? I would want the main man knowing who - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 15, 14:55 1
        
        I didn't sayd she shouldn't get in touch. I said she shouldn't be out on the street trying to get there. Get the difference? -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:58
        
        what part of "haven't tried' is unclear to you? -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:36 2
        
        "I understand why you have tried." Sorry, I only read the one negative. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:38 1
        
        Still not right. No, I am not getting it. Not feeling great today and it is affecting my ability to read. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:39
- can you get to the airport with the british tourists? -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:27 1
  - nothing is running outside. nothing. plus there's no way i'm leaving this apartment. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 15, 14:28
- Stay safe. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:27
So much for this being a no ports board. ;) -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 14:23 2
- Port of Baltimore -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:29
- New Orleans, Seattle, Barcelona... -- nm - iNubby 4 Jan 15, 14:28
"An entire city block in Los Angeles was destroyed today when a homeless man known only as "the pixie" suffered a massive orgasm." -- nm - iNubby 4 Jan 15, 14:23 3
- it's early - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:24 2
  - Edging, eh? -- nm - iNubby 4 Jan 15, 14:28 1
    - i've seen cam cameron work his prevent offense magic too much this year -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:34
defense makin a play! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:21
And the Steelers are out of challenges - amoxy Jan 15, 14:21 7
- I don't think that correct challenges should count against a team. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:23 6
  - I didn't think they did. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 14:23 5
    - I thought the rule was you have to have 2 succesful challenges to get a third -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:25 4
      - I would change the rule so that successful challenges don't count against you at all. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:28 2
        
        I agree with this but given the rules, I'm still not sure Tomlin made a bad choice there. - David Jan 15, 14:53 1
        
        I agree that he had to make the challenge. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:59
      - That is the rule. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:27
Wow -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:20
Sure looked like a fumble -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:18 6
- I couldn't understand why nobody was going for the ball. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:20 5
  - Foster cost the Steelers seven points. All he has to do is fall on the ball just in case. It was right beside him. -- nm - David Jan 15, 14:51
  - 21 of the players on the field had a brain fart -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:21 3
    - Actually it looked like two other Ravens secondary players were on the ball but they were further away so it took them longer to get there. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:24
    - On the replay, it looks like Reed and Wilson were coimng down to get the ball. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:23 1
      - Good thing Reed didn't get it or else he probably would have thrown it out of bounds trying to lateral it. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:26
This sure is one clustered fuck. -- nm - Reagen Jan 15, 14:18 1
- The players were so shocked that maybe the refs called one right that they stopped playing. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:19
I just hope now that it's a well officiated game from here on out now. The refs have been all around atrocious so far. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:14
Well there you go Baltimore, offsetting bad pass interference calls that led to TDs. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 14:13 3
- Uh, no. Cause the second PI call was right. - Stephen Jan 15, 14:14 1
  - The second one isn't even debatable. The DB made contact with Mason before the ball got there. -- nm - Inigo Jan 15, 14:19
- you're still two up in the uncalled personal foul column -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:14
beast! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:12
RICE!!! -- nm - Stephen Jan 15, 14:11
Nice call after those 7 pass plays -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:11
sitwap: NFL tells playes to stop the trash talk, could lead to fines.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 15, 14:10
Are you kidding me? - Stephen Jan 15, 14:07 2
- That was wrong -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 14:08
- Yeah, that was bad. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 14:08
How the hell do the refs not see that headbutt?! -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 15, 14:07
holy christ - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 14:01 1
- I like hhow they don't even bother to go to the tape to show the penalty. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 14:02
Leading with his head and he takes out his own guy. - Stephen Jan 15, 14:01 2
- Does he get fined for that? -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 14:02 1
  - Should, but I'm going to guess he doesn't. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 15, 14:04
A Dilemma story - - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:58
Mendenall! -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 13:54
Big Ben is getting a lot of time. Not much pass rush -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 13:53
Both penalties so far were bad calls, imo. - Fuzzy Jan 15, 13:51 6
- And they missed the obvious late hit. Not a great day for officiating so far. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 13:57 1
  - Upholding the challenge was the only one they've gotten right. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 14:00
- The D-Back was not looking back and grabbing Wallace's arm -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 13:54 3
  - I didn't see a grab. They were tangled, but no more than usual (again imo) - Fuzzy Jan 15, 13:59
  - Yet when they showed the play again, the WR was holding him back. - Will Hunting Jan 15, 13:55
  - okay -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:55
Whines Hard! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:47 1
- He took the penalty, smiled, and lined up for the next play. Where was the whine? -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 15, 13:49
Interesting discussion on On the Media on NPR today. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:45
Softly the evening vespers Hallow the closing day Sweetly the Savior whispers �Come to the throne and pray -- nm - Mullah Jan 15, 13:44
Looks pretty cold in Pittsburgh -- nm - amoxy Jan 15, 13:44 1
- 37. not frigid -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:44
