Based on expected values, the best play was shoving it down their throats. I believe QB sneaks from that distance have ~90% chance of success.

Prior to the season, the relative concensus was that the **** would hit the fan if one of our OL starters ever left the field. Well, now two minor injuries have occurred to Urbik and Bell and there's been absolutely no drop-off in play when they were replaced with Rinehart and Hairston. Now, even Buddy Nix said OL depth was a problem, so I'm not trying to point the finger at anybody here, but it's been yet another pleasant surprise.

I suppose there's always a degree of luck when it comes to turnovers. Today, however, they were all great plays. One was a tip drill and an athletic INT. Twice, Vick threw bad passes to avoid heavy pressure. Twice, we literally ripped the ball from their hands. The defense may have given up yardage in droves again, but they scratched and clawed their way to victory.

Winning 2 out of every 3 games gets you to the playoffs. We'll be at least on that pace heading into the bye. We won't have this type of turnover ratio all season, but if that's what's winning us games for the time being, you won't hear me complaining.

Then you know that there's no such thing as "too much" in the eyes of The Onion. http://www.theonion.com/articles/no-matter-how-much-you-protect-your-kids-sooner-or,26255/

I'm all for the proliferation of correct spelling/grammar/verbiage, but why the insult?

This is correct. For 31 franchises, football is a team sport. For the Colts, football is a Peyton Manning sport.

Did you guys hear anything more on Merriman getting stopped at the Canadian border? I think if he gets suspended, the Bills start 0-4.

This just made me laugh for some reason.

Even before the activism, her schtick always came across as desperate to me despite her being naturally funny. Lampooning the A-listers didn't work comedically because you could always tell she'd give her left tit to be one of them for just a day. JMO.

You don't know that. I still would like for somebody to show me where exactly all these hot intergalactic women are in Star Wars, because there's certainly not much empirical evidence in the movies of their existence. Consider this AND the fact that you'd constantly be getting 3rd helpings at best (you really think you're replacing Chewie as wingman? Please.) I'm still going with Hope. Can we at least all agree that we'd take Alex Morgan over Han?

He gets his shows because people are idiots. There are plenty of inexplicably successful non-Mexican comedians who suck just as bad. "Larry the Cable Guy" comes to mind immediately. Dane Cook, Jeff Dunham, Kathy Griffin, Gallagher, Whoopi Goldberg...

Remember when Rosenfels beat us in that game where Evans had 3 long TDs in the first quarter?

1999. Of course, people only cared about this in the same sense that they cared about Michael Phelps.

Intriguing meta-narrative going on. In this episode, Parker and Stone essentially said "Yeah, we don't enjoy doing this anymore and we know it's gotten shittier, but sometimes it's best to stick with what you know." As a fan of the show, I honestly don't know whether to be offended or impressed by the honesty.

No **** it's hypothetical, that's why the point is to sarcastically over-analyze everything.

There are like 10 human women total in the Star Wars universe (original trilogy) and Leia was the only hot one.

I took this to mean one round in bed with Hope vs. one beer at the Cantina with Han. Hope wins.

You mean I don't have to listen to that stupid ass song anymore? Let's try to formulate a way to trick Coldplay into making a Hitler reference.

This is the overwhelming logic, and yet...the guy is simply an outstanding football player.

How is Welker not in the top-10?

WE KNOW IT'S YOU, PAT MORAN.

I can see it from that perspective. The onus should be on the masses to parse the meaningful messages from the meaningless ones, but I suppose it's naive to think that will ever happen on a large scale.

Why shouldn't we tolerate celebrities expressing their political views? Despite all the caustic rhetoric on this board, I never see anything along the lines of "Well you're just a *insert profession*. Stick to that and don't tell me your politics.". The difference, of course, is that the public is grotesquely infatuated with their favorite actor's or favorite musician's opinions but that can hardly be blamed on the celebrity.

I wonder if they'll give him the option of being fired by Jennifer Lopez.
