    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    McNulty gave no fucks and no fucks were given. Bill Simmons was saying HBO signature should just be The Wire and Sopranos reruns. That would be fucking awesome if it ever happened.

    For qualifying purposes, has the rental income been reported on your fiances tax returns before? If yes then she'll get credit for whatever income she reports on her Schedule E after adding back in depreciation. You'll get to claim 75% of the rental amount on your house as you've never rented...

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    He made no attempt to play the ball, none. That's as stone cold of a PI call as you'll ever seen. Not to mention Dez should have been given an unsportsmanlike as well. I'm not a fan of either team so I don't really care, but whoever is defending picking up that flag is just a homer and...

    R.I.P Stuart Scott.

    Didn't he end up going blind in both eyes though? Did he get hit twice? I'm pretty sure the last couple of years he was legally blind.

    R.I.P Stuart Scott.

    The eye issue was due to his cancer I thought. As a parent of two daughters the part that hits the most is how he'll never see what his girls will become. Aside from them going first it's probably the worst thing that you could think of as a parent. Whatever you thought of him as a...

    There's like no cell reception at the Rose Bowl so my cell died pretty quickly and I didn't really take any pictures. Anyway, it was basically an Oregon home game and the temperature in the 2nd half starting dropping quickly into the 40's. I didn't wear enough layers and ended up waiting in...

    In Rodgers first season and the first half of last year LFC was mediocre as a defensive unit, certainly not poor. The poor defense started with moving Gerrard to a deep lying playmaker but with Suarez and Sturridge scoring for fun it didn't matter that he provided no cover for the CB's at all...

    I have no love lost for Lane but the Alabama O put up 35 points, that should be enough to win vs. a 3rd string QB. You listen to Gary Danielson during the CBS broadcast for a 'Bama game and he makes it sound like you're watching an NFL caliber defense at work. Instead they were shit and that...

    Just rewatching season 5 reminds me again of why it was the weakest. Every time I watch S2 I just like it more and more, its definitely becoming my favorite season.

    Season 3 is great because of the Stringer/Avon relationship and how they come to realize one of them has to go. Hamsterdam wasn't horrible, Mouzone was so-so.

    Definitely this, there is really no hope until the old bag dies and the kids sell the team. We might be able to move Cutler and return to respectability but the Halas's have never paid top dollar when it comes to management.

    Bill Simmons did a tweet saying HBO Signature should just be Wire and Sapranos re-runs. Can't really say I'd disagree with that, watching S3 of the Wire today just made me think what TV show even had 1 single season approaching the awesomeness that was on display, Breaking Bad last season...

    What a weird day of results. Mourinho is now claiming there is a campaign against Chelski and giving penalties even though Cesc dove like a swan today which just follows Cahill's from the last game. Hilarious. As an LFC fan seeing the bitters falling apart is at least some comfort.

    The Commisaysar has nothing to do with giving Cutler a 3 year guaranteed contract that's now like an albatross around the neck of the organization. Though I think I've said numerous times in this thread, as long as the McCaskey's own the club nothing will ever change. They may not be on the...

    Funnily enough that was probably the best LFC has played since the game at Spuds, we just have no one that can finish. If Coutinho could shoot at all he would have had a hat trick yesterday with the positions he was getting in instead of just the one goal. Skrtel ended up with a negative +/-...

    Carroll took the Pats to the playoffs in '97 and '98. Going by Kirun's thinking then Belicheck is also a hack as he bombed out of Cleveland and was doing shit initially in New England until Bledsoe got hurt. Thank god for Scott Pioli eh?!
