At that price how could they not try to inject any offense possible into that lineup? He's either scoring or he's in the pressbox.

You forgot about the part where the bouncers would require the people to change into different clothes before they can get into the club. Unless there's some crazy theme to the whole thing, that's the part that seems extra creepy to me.

The writing is on the wall with the odd power structure in Toronto right now. I can't for even a second believe that he is dumb enough to take that job and still expect to have total control. Then again, I'm not really sure why a 72 year old would sign on for a job like that where this is going to be a long-term rebuild. Ok, I can think of one reason: $$$$$

I'm still trying to figure out why polls matter given that it's July of 2015.

I'm not sure how that relates to the topic of a top 16 format though. The wild cards are fine given that the schedules aren't too different within conference. It's that east vs. west direct comparison that is always going to be trouble given the restraints of travel budgets on scheduling. That and expansion right in time for the NHL's 100th anniversary. How convenient.

They actually sent out the invasion crew about a thousand years ago. We won't be able to see them coming until it is too late.

I don't know why, but my immediate thought on this shooting was that someone in the theater wouldn't shut up. Maybe that's just something I'm expecting to see happen sooner or later. And watching NBC this morning, one report talked about two women who "shielded each other" from bullets. How exactly does that work, simultaneously shielding each other from bullets?

I was going to ask who gets stuck wearing the gimp suit, but then I realized it was women only. I'm late to this party, but I'm not quite sure what I find more disturbing here, that he's actually having this party or that more than enough women will be willing to go. People really are screwed up.

The more I think about it, the more this move seems just like Rutherford to Pittsburgh. He's there to mentor Dubas and I bet he's getting a nice paycheck to do so. Edit: And I was going to question his ties to Shanahan given that he left that team about 70 years ago, but looking at his stats, I didn't realize he finished his career there.

That's essentially his entire career with New Jersey though. He started in '87 and then drafted Marty in '90. They might as well be a Belichick-Brady combo.

And then quickly sign on with someone else who is also the devil. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I did call and they weren't all that helpful. The best part was after the call, the woman said "thank you for having an account since 20XX". That right there is what made me think about closing it.

And playing games like that at high speeds just isn't worth the risk. You never know when it can turn into that drunken idiot video from a few months back. Anyway, I just hope you realize that this kind of thing isn't unique to the Thruway. The slow guy in the left lane thing actually seems to be a bit more present here in NC (especially Durham) than I've seen in the past. I've had several cars pull over into the left lane in front of me last second even though there wasn't a single car in front of them in their lane. And it's not like they're getting ready for an upcoming exit on the left or something, they just decide to drive in the left lane for no reason whatsoever. Your post reminded me of someone I ran into last night. I was in the left lane passing someone and saw a car coming up on me pretty quickly. I sped up a bit to get past the right lane car and then immediately moved over and slowed back down to my normal speed, getting out of the other car's way before he even got to the point of tailing me. The fast guy then pulled up along side me and then matched my speed for a couple miles. I had cruise control on, so I was locked in at a steady speed. A little later, the guy did a hard break, switched into my lane, then turned on his high beams before getting off at the next exit. I still have no idea what that was all about.

And it's not like he has ties to that organization. His entire legacy has been built in the US. I thought I had heard some chatter in the last year or so of disagreements between him and the ownership, so maybe he really did just want out.

Clearly you're not familiar with French history.

Does this mean the Leafs will quickly get old and not be able to assemble a decent offense? Really though, I'm sure he won't actually have much to do and Shanny will still be running that team completely.

We actually just opened a PNC account a couple weeks ago. Right now my paychecks go to BOA and the wife's go to PNC. I've never had any issues with BOA before, so I'll probably stick with it for now, but I may just see how they respond to me making the threat to walk away. The only thing that makes me question it is whether or not I'd have to pay ATM fees at non-PNC banks. I forget if that's worked into their accounts or not.

My wife's been back in Boston since Friday. It's strange and all, but I think that the fact that I complained about a $5 fee first is very telling.

Bank of America charged me a $10 fee for my savings account falling below $300 for a period of less than 12 hours. It's a small amount, but stealing money seems like a crappy thing to do to someone who has been with them for around 15 years. I'm oddly tempted to close the account over this.

I don't think he touched any base. And was there even a second base out there?

Where do I sign up?

Some things far outweigh the significance of the on the field performance of a football team. This is one of them.

Sure there is. Having an imbalance between the divisions within a conference is going to get a lot of complaints.

What was that and why was that guy wearing a sock on his hand?

And these leagues are never going to create a truly balanced schedule. The travel would be too difficult with that. Without a balanced schedule, a format with the top 16 would not work.
