  1. I'm no so sure how well they draw for a monday night game, but opening week is always a zoo.
  2. If it's this weekend you're talking about, feel free to stop by the shrader day festivities. It's the worst possible way you can spend your time.
  3. I couldn't even identify something as a Nickelback song if I heard one, but I still know that they suck.
  4. Was Gause the WR that a lot of people here were crazy about?
  5. And the complete broadcast when they have their Hockey Day In Canada event. That's always a fun one.
  6. I'm assuming he doesn't have the slightest clue where Winnipeg is, but since it's a Canadian city and Buffalo's on the border...
  7. Has anyone other than Sanborn been getting any time in on long snaps?
  8. The Robert Lewis Stevenson one is great. Anyone who throws a good joke into their will is good in my book.
  9. I'd much rather see depictions of some sort of hell for robots. That would at least get a catchy theme song. Edit: Oh crap, that's my avatar on Sabrespace. Oh well. I WILL DESTROY YOU! I remember reading a story on these advancements something like 3 or 4 years ago. I wish I could remember where I saw it (I thought it was here). The small corners of houses with charging stations should work out really well, but good luck with testing the long term health implications if they try to go more widescale and make things work just about everywhere.
  10. I've only seen the tv spots and I'm left with a great big WTF. I have to wonder how many people that really brings into the theaters. Sure, I could just look it up on the internet, but most of the time the ads don't leave me curious enough for that.
  11. Did it remind you of Office Space since they constantly mentioned it in the trailer? The ads I've seen are so busy mentioning "from the makers of Office Space" that I've never gotten a feel for what the movie is about at all. I get the same reaction from all the ads I've seen for "9". It's nothing but flashy graphics and nothing about the movie itself. I'm glad Mark starts these threads because it's usually the only place where I actually find out what these movies are actually about.
  12. $$$ Vs (OLN at the time) offered more money and a bigger schedule than ESPN.
  13. Killed the franchise? Wasn't it even alive anymore anyway?
  14. Call me crazy, but even if I'm doing nothing wrong, if cops start asking me questions and telling me to stop something, I don't react by punching one of them in the face.
  15. Nevermind the media, what about the majority of the owners in the league (like, say, the one who did hire Donahoe)?
  16. Us out of towners don't get any of the info. Is Hardy even active yet? The article mentions using Lynch's spot at the start of the season to keep Jenkins as a possibility, but isn't using Hardy's slot just as likely still? I never have figured out the rules for injured players.
  17. Great, recruit from this board.
  18. Run the show anyway, but digitally replace the guy with some crazy cartoon character. Instant ratings.
  19. Well that seals it. They're well on their way to conquering the auto industry. It's only a matter of time now.
  20. But they do see it. So they know about the money, but still do nothing about it? That seems like way too much thought for a stupid commercial, especially after the caveman and gecho commercials pretty much put it all right out there. And they always seem to come on when during a show that I actually want to watch. Usually I just walk out of the room for a few seconds during commercial breaks, but I always run back in to mute the tv whenever any of those ads come on. They have to get just about every musical style into one of those ads, don't they? They're single handedly making me hate all music. Thanks a lot free credit report that isn't actually free.
  21. With that paycheck, I don't think it really bugs him all that much. He could've stayed in Buffalo and lost just as many games, but all while making a lot less. Looking at the original post in this thread, leaving definitely did pay off for Clements.
  22. What exactly is the point of those "that's the money you could be saving with Geico" commercials. Those things make absolutely no sense. Bring back the cavemen. And I'm not sure if it's a decent product, but I've been seeing this one commercial lately that really bugs me. It's for Lectric Shave (what a horrible name). The hairs are smiling and yelling out "lectric shave". But they're about to be brutally murdered. Call me crazy, but I'm not going to be all happy if I'm about to be cut in half. Then they're still all happy after the razor passes and they're falling to the ground. Hmmm, maybe I'm paying a bit too much attention to this commercial.
  23. Yeah, that's a really good movie. I love movies like that where you can watch it a second time and catch all the clues.
  24. Actually, since they're talking about variation, it can't be calculated on an individual basis. That kind of number is going to have to come from the upper bound of a confidence interval. Still, you're not going to see something anywhere near that high with genetic data on obesity. I'll stick with my idea that the 80% figure was randomly pulled otu of someones backside. And this brings out part of the problem that many in here have refused to acknowledge. Certain people, for whatever reason, have more time than others. If you have two people with identical genetic profiles, working the same exact desk job, but one works 40 hours and the other 80 hours. Who is far more likely to be in better shape? Yeah, diet and physical activity is the key culprit, but there are other reasons factoring into why one would be more active and eat better than the other.
