I define binge drinking as drinking to get drunk as quickly as possible.

I think we all know he won't be facing any criminal charge$.

One would think that a database of all available players could be created and that a team could "eliminate" players they know they don't want, then go through a series of "if/then" scenarios. So if Bob Jones is who they want in the first round, and he gets snagged by another team before dropping to them, then the database would automatically tell them who their pick will be based on all of the previous picks and the "if/then" data they input previously. Maybe teams already do this; I don't know. But it seems like the logical way to go about it.

I always pay close attention to thread titles (usually because most suck). This is one of the best I've seen in my many years here. Effing brilliant.

Mets fan, here. The champagne on my counter was when there were 13 seconds left.

You don't poke a Beane. You flick a Beane.

In Boston, there's a Uratwart Way.

Same with the 80s (when I was a teen). When two kids wanted to fight, one challenged them to go "meet at the sticks," immediately after school. The sticks was our party area in the woods a couple miles from the school. That's where most of the fights took place. Just like you said ... they duked it out for a bit, then agreed that it was over and never fought again after that.

The end of regulation and the OT reminded me of the 1986 World Series. Everyone likes to point out Bill Buckner's costly error that led to the Mets winning Game 6. That was the last 13 seconds of the Bills/KC game. Champagne was loaded into the Red Sox locker room; lockers were covered in plastic. Then POOF. I actually had a bottle of champagne sitting on my counter, for Christ's sakes. BUT ... what no one likes to talk about is that the Red Sox had a lead in Game 7, too. That was OT in the Bills/KC game. And like the Red Sox, the Bills also pissed away ANOTHER chance to win the game. This loss had a lot to do with the last 13 seconds. But not everything. OT was an embarrassment.

He was.

Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you I'll leave you when the summertime Leave you when the summer comes a rollin' Leave you when the summer comes along

Tell me, Beerball ... is there a difference between how behr is pronounced and how bear is pronounced?

This is very close, but Washington and Warren County are in the North Country; not the Capital District.

Why would you wish that on any of us?

Albany is upstate. Nice call!

Before we crown him, let's just wait and see how he plays in front of actual crowds next season.

Upstate? I think you mean "Western!"

What a smug douche. I wouldn't even care if Allen wasn't part of the conversation. I wish Kiper had bitchslapped him.

I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday, I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Oh, Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday, I'm in love

There is a road in a neighboring town (Fort Ann, NY) named Tripoli Road. Pronounced, "try-POLE-ee."

Exactly!

I wonder if he could outrun Trumaine Edwards.

I won't argue with you re: Josh running less. But I wouldn't say that I want that to change too much. The Bills amassed the 5th most yards in the NFL on offense and scored the 3rd most points. I'm not looking for a heck of a lot to change, there, to be honest.

So 4.6 yards per carry, even though among the league's best among RBs, isn't good enough? I honestly don't understand that logic. With that kind of average, it's clear to me that Singletary isn't a 1000 yard rusher because he doesn't get enough carries ... not because he's not a threat when he does get the ball.
