Don't forget to invite Stone Cold. People pay good money for that kinda entertainment

This thread is priceless.

Which is the only action Cugs gets all year

Selfie - no fair

Insane game last night. Glad the Hawks won. Good hockey in all games except #3.

Wait, Marrone was actually a genius coach who sacrificed his career to protect his players' inadequacies ?

In one of the movies, the characters get thrown out of cars, get smashed and stand up like they came out of a spa with designer clothes and make-up on. In the other, everyone wakes up looking like they were just in a mud fight.

I concur. Best action movie of the year so far. And I have already seen Avengers, Furious 7. IMHO, Avengers is to bloated to be any fun and while Furious 7 was also very good, Mad Max has the edge with its quirkiness. The filming of the action sequences are terrific as you can really see what is going on and who is doing the b***-kicking. Kudos to the actors - Theron steals the show and Hardy should be commended for taking a bit of a backseat. Background score was a huge plus as well. Highly recommended Thats funny. I caught the Friday 9:40 pm show and the theater was half full. The movie beat expectations but those expectations were not for an Avengers or Furious-7 -level turnout

This is a very good point. Even with the 49ers in transition mode, this will be a stupid move unless, as you say, it nets them at least a serviceable QB for this season. Perhaps. But I am not going to recommend that the Bills make that gamble.

New semi-rumour about CK being available for trade. This author speculates that most likely landing spots are Jets, Eagles and Bears. Lot of conjecture all around so take it FWIW. And for the record - I used to be a fan of Kaepernick but not any more because of serious doubts I have about his maturity and accuracy http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/nfl-3-potential-landing-spots-for-colin-kaepernick.html/?ref=YF Previous discussion on this subject is in this thread ( I started a new thread as the previous discussion was kinda 'old') http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/176728-colin-kaepernick-on-trading-block/

I rate this post 2.718^10 on a natural log scale

I like watches too but all are the cheap sub-$100 kind. So don't sneer, you elitist snob. I still have the first watch I ever owned. A wind-up kind from 1978. Still works though it gains about a minute every day. What is the benefit of a smartwatch anyway ? And I snicker at it being called 'smart' anyway. It is just another screen for your phone isn't it ? So it basks in reflected glory ? I find it hilarious that people stopped wearing wristwatches cos 'my phone can always tell me the correct time even when I travel across time zones'. And now these guys can't wait to flaunt their new smartwatch. Moron - you just got scammed for another $300.

If I am Belichick, I am thinking of ways to sneak weed into that wad of tobacco and then whisper in the league's ear to get Sammy suspended. Or maybe I have been watching too many conspiracy movies lately and following the Pats**/Brady*** stories too closely...

pounds around my gut

Slap me if we had this conversation already. But you born in Warren, PA ???? Dude, my first job was in Warren, PA. Love the city.... errr..... town err.... village. Am still in touch with a couple of people from there.

And yet we have Terminator - Genisys !

New indictment against Hernandez. Didn't see it posted yet. "Aaron Hernandez was accused of shooting former right-hand man Alexander Bradley in the face in February 2013, but he never faced any criminal charges -- until now. Prosecutors announced an indictment Monday accusing Hernandez of shooting Bradley and leaving him to die in an industrial park near Riviera Beach, Florida. Bradley is believed to be a witness to the homicides of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado, and prosecutors say Bradley was shot by Hernandez after he made a remark about the double murder."

Thanx. Indeed. I was kinda taking the science approach to say a few things including the one you mentioned. I think there were multiple screw ups in this. My assertion immediately after this first broke and even now, is that Brady* and Co. continuously flirt with the fringes of the rules because they know that the worst that can happen is far less than the Lombardi trophy Peace, Kelly. I got testy when I saw my precious half hour of writing seemingly wasted. You know that half hour I would have rather spent creeping on random Facebook profiles. That half hour.

I was responding to the Florio article. And by me specifically talking about the crooked needle, I was supporting the theory that the difference in pressure could not be attributed to the (mis) shape of the needle. Florio seems fascinated by that aspect as if to imply that the needle's deformity somehow explains the difference in pressure measurement. I was making the point that it could not. Heck, I am not explaining this again when my original post was pretty clear IMO.

Where exactly did I dispute the assertion that the deflated balls were an intentional act ?

I am now going to talk purely from a engineering standpoint. - The pressure in a ball will drop when the temperature drops and unless you are dealing with non-ideal fluids, the change should follow the ideal gas law. Pressure and temperature are directly related i.e. temperature drops, pressure drops. You have to be careful in the units of measure during this conversion. Temperature needs to be converted to Kelvin and pressure in atmospheres etc. Not very important unless someone asks me to convert and double check these calcs - The crookedness of the needle in the gauge is mentioned several times in this article as if that by itself is a significant variable. Note that we are measuring pressure and not flow rate. If you are measuring flow rate, all other things being equal, the crookedness of a pipe will add pressure drop and lead one to an incorrect measurement. However, we are measuring pressure here and if you allow even a second between needle insertion and taking measurement (allowing for the needle to stabilize and not vibrate), the crookedness should be immaterial - The quoted potential error between the gauges "measures the air pressure at 0.3 to 0.45 PSI lower" sounds weird to me. For a 12 psi measurement, this is a 2.5 - 3.75% error which is way too large, IMO. If the gauges can be off by this amount, then the entire premise of the investigation is not only ridiculous but points to a far larger problem in the NFL. If this is the case, then the NFL should be taken to task for quality control issues. In fact, I would say this should become a separate investigation by itself Feel free to chime in guys. Florio is either intentionally causing confusion or inadvertently pointing to issues he does not fully understand.

Or Garoppolo plays like the second coming of Brady who never gets his starting job back, gets traded for a first and the Pats* dominance extends to another 10 years.

I am not entirely on board with this philosophy. There are many things that are best kept behind closed doors. I am sure players like certain other players (remember how Evans liked Losman) but I do not want those preferences stated in public. Players may dislike their role but it is best expressed and sorted out with the coaches and fellow team members. There needs to be quite a measure of control on the opinions that are expressed in public versus in private to the coaches.

Perhaps hanging out with Pneumonic

Maybe just me but I think it is too early to write off Cyrus K also. The battle of the guards will be quite nice, methinks.
