Happy Birthday! You and my sister share the same birthdate. I always thought it was a kick in the @ss that every year there are massive parties on her birthday and they are never for her. lol. As to our Bills - the last time the Bills played on my birthday was the 12 man debacle. I hope and expect a better outcome on your natal anniversary. Have a great day. Go Bills!

Thanks. It's an interesting discussion - and I respect the opposing viewpoint as well.

While I understand your point of view, I'm completely unswayed. And while I don't expect to sway your opinion, I'll restate mine in a different way. The undefeated FSU team earned the right to be in the FCS championship - even given the very real possibility that they 'might' not play a competitive game.

So it's more about what folks think will happen next rather than what actually happened on the field. Brilliant.

Of all the excuses to exclude FSU this is the weakest imo. It flies in the face of actual competition and what FSU accomplished on the field. If one of the remaining top 4 teams loses their star QB a minute into their next game should we deem them unworthy and force them to forfeit the game?

Quite likely. But imo FSU earned the chance. Otherwise, why bother playing regular season games?

Another way to look at it is - why bother playing in a pointless game. Perhaps FSU should have taken that point of view before the season started.

Was it ever about Georgia not being one of the best teams in the country (who actually claimed that?) or was it about excluding an undefeated team and questioning why said undefeated team should have bothered competing in the BCS in the first place? For the record I don't have a dog in this fight. Interesting sports convo, imo. But I fall on the side of the undefeated team being deserving of a spot to compete for the championship.

What is this AWS algorithm you speak of?

Just for fun I googled their best songs and the top one is "A Love Like War". lol

I'm an optimistic fan - but I have to admit that for the past month or so I feel like I have to brace myself at kickoff for whatever will happen in the ensuing 3-4 hours. The Cowboys game almost felt like cheating, lol

The odd thing about the chart to me is that the two teams that currently look (to my eyes) like the class of their respective conferences (49ers and Ravens) are at the bottom of the chart with a combined 0-6.

Vegas sent Carr home last year with two games left when they were still mathematically alive. Ironically it was also for Stidham.

Similar story - my company expended way too much time and resources in 1999 poring through code. It made sense for the financial systems but was a colossal waste of time for most of the other systems where 'what's the worst that could happen' wasn't really considered. The funny part was 10 years later when an actual y2k problem that wasn't uncovered in 1999 reared it's ugly head. It took an hour or two one Monday morning to figure out what the problem was, fix it and remediate the fall-out.

Are you aware that the Texans lost to Carolina and Atlanta and got blown out by the Jets?

@Big Turk: what @poo said. And he knows cuz he's the sh!t. Seriously, this thread idea was/is pretty cool. Happy holidays and Go Bills!

The only connection I see - and it's a thin one - is when Gronk spiked the Steve Harvey Lego

If I got the story right it happened a little after noon following an incident where one of the relatives was in traffic court and another 'made a scene'. I think the guy that made the scene ended up getting chased leaving traffic court, called his 16 year old son. It was the 16 year old that rolled the Tundra - with his 12 and 4 year old brothers in the truck. I'm actually guessing that alcohol wasn't a factor - afaik nobody got a DWI or any alcohol related charge and no mention of Leandra's Law. With that said it's also hard to imagine sober folks acting as they did.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead? Soto is still a Yankee?
