    Which one are you going for? I'm partial to Strickland, just because of the Trump-Tannon connection.

    FFS people, post a new thread when you hear about something like RTJ3. Had to find out elsewhere, and I could've been listening to it for a while now!

    This seems odd. Either Garappolo sucks, or the Patriots are in "don't give a shit" mode. Or they see someone in the draft they really like? Brady will eventually fall off. Jimmy Garoppolo Trade Rumors: Latest News and Speculation on Patriots QB

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Once again I'm going to bitch about LA having a team again. The local broadcast is a completely meaningless game between the Rams and Cardinals, whereas most of the country gets to watch the Giants and Redskins.

    Wasn't really sure where to post this, but I need some help. Today I noticed that one of my circuits wasn't working. The breaker isn't tripped. There are no GFI on the circuit. Just 4 outlets (1 outdoor plug, and then 3 bathroom plugs in two different bathrooms). I opened up all of the outlets...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    You know, in all the other oversaturation reasons and whatnot, I forgot about the fact that NFLN insists on airing so many games as a reason the NFL's ratings are down. Seems pretty fucking retarded to have a game on Christmas day that has a limited ability to be watched. Especially so when...

    I originally thought the Chargers were in a Christmas mood and letting the Browns get a win. But now they're going to mercilessly snatch victory away from them. Also, did the Dolphins just shit away their playoff chances? Edit: Nm, OT!

    Survivor

    Yeah he did. At the beginning of final tribal, Jay was talking to him and he broke down and cried and said he wouldn't talk about it. But then a few jurors later and he was like, "I found out my mom has stage 4 cancer before coming out here and she's dying" or something like that.

    Nice! I think I may pick one up, even though it won't get much use. Anyone got any opinions on using it wirelessly? I've heard it works significantly better wired, but I don't know that I want to run CAT V around 150-200 feet through my attic and walls. That just sounds like a shit project...

    DOTA 2

    All this talk about ranked being much easier has me wanting to play ranked again. I've probably played about 150 bot games in the last month and a half because I was burnt out on ranked matches. I was climbing pretty fast as was (about 75% win rate). If it's even better now, I shouldn't lose!

    Survivor

    I would absolutely vote for the best player over the sob story. Fuck that, Survivor isn't about Adam's mom. It's about him and his game play. Does he deserve to win for his game play? Sure, I can buy it. And I probably would have voted for him. But his mother story? Give me a break.

    Pro Bowl has been shit ever since Sean Taylor killed that punter. Edit: I'm not saying that's the catalyst. Or that the Pro Bowl was even entertaining prior to that...it wasn't. I actually think the Pro Bowl went to shit when they got rid of those awesome field day type contests. It's been...

    What Did President X Do for You?

    It's been a while so I don't remember it all, but he sent me to Iraq a fuck load. Which kind of sucked (although it was also a good character builder). Also made flying a real pain in the dick. He established the 10% tax bracket, which Obama I guess decided to make permanent. I only figured...

    Glad to hear it. Also make me happy that I actually went ahead and posted all that crap, because explaining it doesn't do it justice.

    After watching that Cardinals thing, it makes me think that lots of teams do internal betting, and that Steve Smith lost this one.

    The thing is, you're saying "Obama did a good job by inaction." No, Obama didn't do shit about marijuana. If he had ordered it to be reclassified, or campaigned on behalf of state legalization, I could see saying, "Wow, yeah, Obama had a huge impact on marijuana legalization." Him sitting on...

    I'm under a non-GS pay system and it sucks (was GS until last year). I switched jobs in March, and despite my performance being rated highly in both careers (working for the same command, so this isn't an issue of completely changing employers), because they split the year in half I got a 0%...

    I don't actually care that much as I've checked out of the NFL bigly. But that incident was enough to make me hate the Giants more than Cowboys for a few seasons. In fact, I remember on several message boards, there was some solidarity between the two fanbases because of it. I actually find...

    I think it's probably excessive (and kind of a dumb rule to begin with). But you know what? Fuck the Giants! And fuck Mara! The shit that went on with the uncapped year is still a giant pile of horseshit. The Redskins and Cowboys were harshly punished by Mara for no apparent reason.

    No, you stupid fuck. This thread is about how, personally, I benefited from Obama's policies. I had my degree by 2011, hence, that didn't do shit for me. I actually have no idea what the program you're talking about is (googling it doesn't return any results). The only VA programs I've...

    How many of those actually effected me though? I don't think any. The economic "recovery" is still very misleading.

    What did Obama do for weed? I'm confused. The only thing I can think of is basically saying that he wouldn't have the Feds coming after people in states where it was legalized. But otherwise he left all the existing laws in place. And for some reason I feel like Bush was doing the same thing (at...

    I think that just says more about the poor quality of QB's the Redskins have had over the last almost 90 years. Outside of Baugh, they've been pretty mediocre. And that's what, the fucking 1940's? As far as celebrations go, it's ridiculous to me because the NFL was built on celebrations. Stuff...

    Maybe. That's such a minor scene though. It was literally like 5 seconds, and mostly irrelevant to the plot. I only included it for back story. The bulk of the show is in 3rd-5th paragraphs of my synopsis. That part was interesting, but dragged a bit (luckily some of these episodes were like...

    So in defense of the show, the rest of it was really fucking good. Massive spoiler, explaining the entire plot: So reading that, there was a really fucking cool plotline somewhere hidden in that. But it just went all kinds of weird when it didn't need to. There's a reason why a lot of people...
