No I don't say, the fact that 24 (soon to be 25) out of the 32 teams have outdoor stadiums says so. AFL starts in March so you can have your weather-free football soon enough.

Didn't stop them from keeping Superbowl XIX in Palo Alto. Says who? You? There have been plenty of Superbowls played in "weather." Football is suppose to be played in the elements, and part of playoff football has always included winter conditions. This isn't arena football, it's the NFL.

So rumor is that Google is ending the Nexus line of phones in 2015 in favor of having manufactures provide Play additions of their phones. Theory is that manufactures weren't happy having their Play additions compete against the lower price-point of the Nexus devices.

Yup, that was the other thing that was funny about my friends situation I explained above. He read the company policy which said that men can use their PTO for paternity leave, but when he went to apply for it he was informed that only applied to the companies international employees. US...

Just make sure to reassure her that she is doing great and she can't beat herself up over it. My wife working in L&D and she will tell you that in her experience it is more likely a Mom is going to experience issues than not. Sometimes it is just that the milk doesn't come in fully (or is slow...

I don't need crazy weather added for the game to be exciting, but the people lambasting the NFL for having the gall to schedule the Superbowl in a cold-weather city need to stfu. You eliminated like 75% of potentially awesome venues for the Superbowl with that terrible line of thinking. "OH MY...

Facebook Android app has been a steaming pile of shit forever now anyways. I have always just used my browser to access Facebook to fuel my narcissism on the road.

Point is that Championship teams should be weather proof. If the only way Manning and the Broncos can win is if the weather cooperates then they don't deserve to be champions. Many meaningful playoff games are played in 'extreme' elements and there is no reason that variable needs to be...

Most guys don't take that much time off for paternity because there is basically a stigma against it, especially in the workplace where men who do take extended leave are often not considered as serious about their careers as those who don't and are passed over for promotions. Furthermore, men...

We went over this already in this thread, but carbon is a far superior material for a mountain bike (other than the cost) and any impact that will do enough damage to a carbon frame to cause a failure is also going to cause a catastrophic failure on an aluminum frame. If you hit a "sharp...

Don't do it, you will die. Haven't we lost enough already?

Looks like the forecast is calling for a fairly mild day (relatively speaking for winter day in NJ) for the Superbowl, 36 degrees with a 10% chance of rain and/or snow. So for those of you who think it's only football if PeyPey is throwing the ball all over the yard can unbunch your panties.

Keep in mind that many TMO phones have built in WiFi calling for your apartment needs.

Yes, that has been my experience. I suppose in theory it could be my phone (Nexus 4) and not the network, but I am pretty convinced that TMO has terrible building penetration.

/sigh No more head coaching jobs open for Roman.Cleveland Browns tab Mike Pettine as next coach - ESPN

I use one of these garlic twist thingies now for mincing garlic. Works great and cleans up in seconds. Plus you can do 4-5 cloves at a time rather than having to do them all individually.

Why? Football is meant to be played in weather. Snow games are some of the best and they STILL talk about the Ice Bowl every year during the playoffs. Which Superbowl can claim that?

Nobody talking about the Yankees landing Tanaka?

Unfortunately Russian River cut off distribution to WA so I haven't had the pleasure of PTE, which seems like a travesty considering I am a huge hop-head and IPA fan. Although I can't fault RR because they cut the distribution here because they couldn't meet local demand and decided their local...

Considering they talked about eliminating the kick-off altogether, I just don't see that happening.

Some West Coast tour dates, I will probably wait to see if they are playing some new material in Mexico before getting tickets because I've already seen them like 3-4 times since 10,000 days came out and they usually don't vary their setlist/shows that much. But if you are a fan and haven't seen...

Yeah, that didn't happen at all, there is like 2 at the most disparaging posts about Sherman, all the Niner fans were bitching about Kaepernick blowing the game. Quit inventing this shit.

I'm pretty sure you are the guy who has done the most whining in this thread the last couple of days.

Did you come here to talk about football or to just continue your crusade against the mods who run these message boards that you seem to hate but continue to frequent anyways?

Got a link by chance?

I agree, I've even had a confrontation at a gas station just because I had a 49ers shirt on, dude was all pissed off because "If you live around here, you should root for the local team!". And it's not like I'm instigating this shit, I generally keep my head down and just try to go about my...

Many of the TMO phones have built in WiFi calling if you are super concerned about service at your residence. Just double check with TMO because not all of the phones they offer have it.

Agreed, when I'm not watching the Niners I watch Red Zone. During the Niners game I usually switch to Game Mix during the commercial breaks (where they have every game currently being played on one screen). Outside of Niners games I found myself not even watching the Thursday/Sunday/Monday...

A buddy and I accidently ate a whole bag of these that my mom had purchased for my Dad because sugar gives him headaches (it was from the bulk food isle and not marked). The "WTF IS HAPPENING TO ME?!" phone calls we placed to each other were pretty hilarious in hindsight. It was pretty much like...

Well I mean, I could go see the Niners when they play in Seattle. I actually used to go every year to the Niners/Hawks game up here with a buddy of mine. But one too many times did I have some drunk assholes trying to pick a fight with me because I was in Niners gear so I stopped going, then...

I much prefer watching football from home. About the only time I go anymore is if I score a luxury box ticket, but I'm such a small fish I generally only get those for like the 4th pre-season game. Still, free beer is free beer. Otherwise, it is just too damn expensive to go to the games. Even...

Mike Holmgren was at the game where they initially set the "Loudest Stadium Ever" record this year and he was asked if it was louder than the NFC Championship game against Carolina. He emphatically said "No, and it wasn't even close to as loud as that NFC Championship game." I think C-Link...

The more I think about it, between the way SEA plays defense in the secondary to the chippiness of the game, I think the SEA/SF game is going to come down to the refs and who gets what calls.

Yeah, looking over the rosters I think there are at least 5 teams who will be dropping a 1st round caliber player just based on either/or choices. There are another couple of teams who I know took players in the last round or picked up IR guys (who count as their very last pick) with the express...

Okay, so I need some advice for the 2014 season. For the first time in our league, we are going to have keepers. Each team gets to keep one player from their team but whichever round said player was drafted in last year, you lose that rounds draft pick. Keepers will be blind (meaning I won't...

You never heard of the 7 year itch?

For a 3 year stretch in the middle of his career he had a combined total of 1187 yards. All of these RB's (outside of AP) are going to run into issues getting in just based on the HoF voting format. They probably stack up against other RB's, but with there only being 5 guys elected in each...

So the NFL isn't going to let Deion suit up for the Pro Bowl. Considering the Pro Bowl is about to go away I would think they would welcoming some publicity like that. I might actually tune in if I knew that Deion Sanders would be lining up to play some man coverage on Jerry Rice.

Revisiting this idea, here are the passing yards for the winning teams so far in the playoffs: 436, 214, 122, 249, 103, 185, 189, 230 (avg. 216) Kaepernick reg season average: 200 (226 since Crabtree's return) Wilson reg season average: 210 These numbers don't take into account that...

When I got out of an LTR with my ex, my now wife warned me it wasn't a good idea to stay in contact with my ex but didn't go so far as to say I couldn't. Wife was right, ex wanted to hook back up (even though she broke it off with me) and her friends all shit all over my now wife with that...
