Good call.

Did you know she was showering before she got attacked by the shark? Yup, they found her head and shoulders on the beach!

I grew up with the greatest dog to ever walk the earth...a Black Lab/Shepperd mix. So I'm going with a big sloppy mutt! Sorry, I know this wasn't helpful since you don't want a big dog, but I couldn't resist a gratuitous plug for Pepper. But if you're still reading, Pepper had a great temperament and I think that came from the Black Lab side.

What exactly am I looking up? When was the last time a baseball season was determined based on one team playing more games than another? In season, when the number of games differ between teams you can look at percentage or games behind. I've never seen baseball standings that are based on winning percentage. Of course there's nothing stopping anyone from publishing standings based on that. It's just something I've never seen.

Maybe I'm taking this out of context, but are you suggesting that Ralph and the Peguilas didn't/don't want to win? And that Phil Jackson installed the triangle with Knicks because he didn't believe it would succeed?

Great topic. I listen/sample most of what gets posted in the various music threads if I haven't heard them before. But this thread is tough to keep up with...I just don't have the time to listen to all of these full albums (much as I'd like to). Unsolicited suggestion: in addition to posting the album link, post the time of the song that will make us want to hear the rest of the album if it's new to us.

All the baseball standings I've ever looked at go by games behind. Winning percentage is just for ties. Are you from Canada? Maybe that's the difference in how standings are shown.

If you never heard this band, 12:30 in is a good start: "Gotta Keep a Runnin".

I'll be a little surprised if Frazier goes to the Colts. Not saying he's not qualified or would be a bad hire, but I think that fanbase will expect something more after the McDaniels fiasco. Reich would fit the bill IMO

You bet. It won't consume me, if I miss something I won't be upset. But besides sports, the Family Guy and Better Call Saul I'm not much of a TV watcher and I've watched the Winter Olympics since I was a kid so this will be my go to TV for the next few weeks. These are the events that I want to catch at least part of: Downhill Skiing Ski jumping Moguls Half-pipe Bobsled/Luge/Skeleton Short-track skating Ice hockey (only a metal round or US elimination game) Curling

The hesitation from Pederson after Foles says Philly Philly is priceless. We second guess coaches ad nauseam and with the benefit of hindsight, but here we see a coach make a gutsy 4th down call and when his QB suggests the trick play he's like um, well, uh, er...sure, why not! Great stuff.

Fun fact II: the NFC East is the only division where every team has won a SB.

This thread is kinda long and I'm not sure if search worked but has Jack Johnson really been overlooked? I need to correct that.

My condolences Just kidding, World or Land? If it's World and you're not a Disney regular, understand that you might need to plan some stuff well in advance. I'm not a Disney regular and have suffered a few times as a result, including a few weeks ago.

I wonder if whoever was filming is a Pats hater. I assumed he was trying to get the bar exploding after Brady pulled off another miracle, but when it didn't happen he kept filming for awhile anyway.

Took a quick trip to Disney a few weeks ago to see my sons high school marching band. We had a nightmarish delay on the way down and ended up with $600 in flight vouchers that we have to use within a year. Skiing Vail in March with a few friends. Tentative summer plan is a trip to the Canadian Rockies in July. Wife doesn't know it yet, but I'm hoping to use the $600 vouchers for Bills-Ravens

Maybe take a drive up the coastline to Boothbay or Bar Harbor. A long time ago I drove the coastline coming south from Calais and it was stunning, although north of Bar Harbor may be what I'm remembering.

I'm so old I thought this was some obscure reference to an old David Bowie song. EDIT: oops, I should've clicked the second link before posting

The biggest positive I take away from this is that they have finally stopped keeping the seat warm for Wright. I don't expect him to be cut or bought out but at least they are moving on from an on-field standpoint. I just came across this from a few weeks back and the Wilpons continue to act like small market owners. They're getting back 75% of the contract through insurance but then complain about the insurance premiums. Wasn't that a sunk cost when they took out the policy? Seems like a cost of doing business to me. http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2018/01/mets_finally_confirm_david_wrights_contract_insura.html "When you're talking about $20 million and we're still paying 25 percent, that's a big number... We don't look at it that way. It's in the budget that his contract is what it is and there's a new deductible period that will start, and you only get 75 percent -- it's not just 75 percent as a total -- and then there's costs against that. We had to pay for the policy, which is not cheap. "

No, not the same exact situation but similar in nature. I still maintain that Atlanta's problem was taking the sack more than the play call..although I do agree run was the safer option. One thing that sometimes gets over-looked in these decisions is the assumption that the FG will be made. Atlanta would have iced the game with a FG assuming they made it. For Philly all it did was force a 2 point attempt if they gave up the TD, not inconsequential but not a game ender. A first down would have ended the game.

What a difference a year makes. Falcons pretty much did the opposite last year and. I'm not saying the Eagles were right and the Falcons were wrong because I think there's room for a judgement call by the coach but it is an interesting and difficult choice to make.

I liked the Cure Auto Insurance commercial: "if you cheat on your auto insurance, you get arrested, but if you cheat at football, you marry a supermodel."

I wish this were true, but the 40 year old just won the league MVP and set a record for passing yards in a SB. I've been reading about his decline for a few years now. I'll believe it when I see it. Reminds me of Mariano Rivera whose drop off years were still better than everyone elses. Bradys greatness aggravates me to no end and certainly time will eventually catch up, but what makes you think it's coming so fast?

No way of knowing, but one things for sure...Foles has a SB win and Wentz doesn't...that could turn out to be an albatross for Wentz.

My balls feel deflated.
