I had a buddy who moved from Pittsburgh to Atlanta during the Thrashers era. He was totally stunned by how he could buy a hockey ticket for $8, when you aren't paying less than $75 for one in Pittburgh. He would go to the Thrashers/Penguins games down in Atlanta, pay $8 to get in, and watch the game with the other 10,000 Penguins fans.
Prices for hockey games in Pittsburgh weren't too much more than that in 2004 when I moved there..........

For those who admit they were wrong about Bosa, I'm genuinely curious as to why you thought he wouldn't be a great NFL player. It was more than few people who thought this, not just on this board. I just don't get it.
I was just coming here to say I was wrong about him, too (not that I explicitly stated it pre-draft). I honestly thought he was undersized and didn't have enough speed to make up for it. But I just looked back and he's apparently 6'5" and 270#, so I don't know where I got my perception from

Awesome, thanks for putting this together. This makes it look like: It's best to win 10+ games, and worst to win 3 or less games. Hmmmmmm...
Also: Is NYJ at $10.1MM accurate?
I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, I promise!

Thanks for the reminder! It's easy to lose track with all the time between games. I also appreciate your pre- and post-game insights here in Off the Wall.

Top 6 all NFC teams, with only one (Seattle) making the playoffs.

For food, I haven't been in years, but look for Croces in the Gaslamp district. Opened by Jim Croce's wife. Sometimes their son (AJ) plays there. Dude is terrific.
Apparently Croce's closed for good a year ago: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Croces-Park-West-Closes-for-Good-366499371.html
I've never been there, but Joshua Tree National Park is gorgeous if you're looking for something outdoorsy. The rock climbing there is supposed to be magnificent.

So... who won the contest? I'd voted McDermott. (Do we have a nickname for him yet?)
I got some random spam in my inbox just now, reminded me of this
The website says the winner will be drawn today.

Only in New York do you need a public hearing to open up a fast food restaurant.
Is that so?

For those who missed it, showing 1-13-17 3pm eastern. It can be found also on YouTube but not the best quality
Are you referring to this one which requires you to pay $1.99?
Or is there a free one on youtube?
Cereal is cheap.

Oh I thought the OP was talking about professional winners. In that case we have a ton. Dareus, Ragland, Cardale, adolphus, Darby, off the top of my head
Kouandijo and O'Leary as well

Public hearing on Tuesday.

If you've never watched this, take the next five minutes and watch the ending of what has been called the "Greatest High School Game Ever Played."
It is the 1994 Texas Championship between John Tyler and Plano East. There is a full 20 for 20 about it that I have to watch every time it comes on ESPN.
Ha! Finally watched this, the end is sooo good haha! I'll have to keep an eye out for the full version

There's a bunch of people in the 140+ point range. I could easily screw up and fall from number 1 to out of the top 10
Looks like you held on to win the Pick'em!

I didn't see a thread dedicated to this, but the Bills will in fact draft 10th

My maiden voyage last night went extremely well! So easy, I followed the seriouseats guide. 2"-thick strip steaks. I feel like I can confidently purchase more expensive cuts of steak now and have it be worth it. I did forget to pat the steaks dry before searing. And next time I will add garlic cloves as an aromatic.
Two questions:
I want to get a cast iron skillet. This website suggests one from Lodge and one from Utopia. What are the real advantages of one over another?
Second, does anyone have any suggestions as to a second EASY recipe to try? I'm thinking something like a roast or pork.
Thanks!

You did well on the Calculus Regent Exam, didn't you? Show off......
<- Former High School Math Team Captain... trying to re-live the glory days at y'all's expense..................................
The Sabres are on the path to six straight years with no playoffs in a league where 16 out of 30 teams make it every year. Mathematically, what is the more difficult feat?
In the first two years of the Sabres' current drought (2011-12 and 2012-13), there were 15 teams in the Eastern Conference. Assuming they don't make it this year (
you mcbride... 
), and assuming equal odds (as the OP's link does), the odds would be:(7/15)^2 * (8/16)^4 = 1 in 73.
So, the Bills' feat is more difficult.
The Sabres' odds of missing the playoffs 17 years in row is 1 in 131,072.
-
Wouldn't the odds be:
(20/32)^17 = 1 in 2,951
Actually, it's worse than I originally thought. Since there were only 31 teams in 2000 and 2001:
Edit: Nevermind, There were 16 teams in the AFC all 17 years, so odds of missing playoffs were 10/16 (or 20/32) every year.

The water immersion method works fine- I don't know those bags in particular but water immersion is perfectly good
Thanks!
By the way, I found the original SEAR thread - gotta search through google: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/186850-former-bills-to-open-high-end-steakhouse-in-buffalo/

Does anyone have advice using these SousVide Supreme Zip Cooking Pouches? I got the Anova and a pack of these quart-sized pouches and some gallon-sized pouches.
The reviews on Amazon seem quite mixed, so I'm concerned. I guess the intent of these bags is to lower the bag into the water until all the air is out, and then zip it up. Some posters on here described this method.
Is there any concern over this method working or not? Are these bags any better than just doubling up some way-cheaper ziploc bags?

Not AFC... but the Bucs' playoff chances require hilarious things to happen: http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/226143/nfl-playoff-picture-steelers-join-giants-texans-week-16-clinchers
Slipping: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't eliminated, but a ton has to happen for them to get in. They need to win. They need Washington to tie. They need Green Bay to lose. And they need all four of the following teams to win their Week 17 games: San Francisco, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Dallas. Sounds like next year for Tampa.

Thanks to y'all, I got an Anova for Christmas! w00t!
Its maiden voyage shall be with steaks during the Hokies' bowl game this Thursday.
I couldn't find the original SEAR/sous vide thread, but I'll have to go back through the advice in this thread, and I think I'll go through that seriouseats guide as well.

I loved Austin when I lived there. Another downside, although I would arrogantly
disagree, is the heat. Or perhaps rather, it is that my girlfriend thinks it's too warm to move there 
Oh yeah, another downside is that you gotta pay a bunch of money and spend a bunch of time in order to get back to WNY!
