  1. Despite the click-baity title, this is an interesting read: http://www.thenation.com/article/combat-vets-destroy-the-nras-heroic-gunslinger-fantasy/ EDIT: happened to see this too, woman shoots at car in home depot parking lot to attempt to stop shoplifters. This is why more guns is questionable. Is killing a person worth it to save Home Depot a couple bucks? http://www.wxyz.com/news/region/oakland-county/customer-shoots-at-two-suspected-shoplifters-as-they-leave-auburn-hills-home-depot#Customer%20shoots%20at%20shoplifters
  2. I always took that to be a mostly static list of other teams' message boards, and doesn't need to be updated too often. I'm sure there's probably a few in there that are out of date, but I don't think it gets looked at other than when we are looking to really understand a team, like in a play-off series. That may explain the lack of traffic too. :)
  3. And SDS will be livid, muttering, "I knew this would happen when we picked that song."
  4. Didn't he miss a 30 yarder last week? That's not someone to be confident in. I just looked at the stats, and it's true that Carpenter isn't the worst in the league this year, there are 4-5 others that have a "normal" number of kicks but have lower precentages. I think the problem is there are also 14 guys that are 100% (12 of them have significant numbers of kicks). Sure, sample size but how long before it becomes an issue?
  5. Jake and Elwood?
  6. The Bills, paragons of making good decisions. :)
  7. Anyone know the Leafs will be doing anything special in 2016-17 for the 50th anniversary of their last trip to the Stanley Cup Finals? :devil:
  8. Heh, "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Sean Avery...
  9. It's a crying shame we can't put Ewok King = Gerbe.
  10. So the Kings are picking up large parts of the Regierian defense, and Montreal has picked up several Regierian forwards? We need Darcy back, he was a genius!
  11. Georges Laraque is retired.
  12. I know you feel strongly about this, so how about we use both? We'll use swords for the home games and LMCMT for the away games.
  13. I can see it go either way. Every year should be the one the Oilers turn around, but every year you can't escape the fact that adding another 18-year-old potential superstar to their line-up may not be the way to turn things around.
  14. When my wife finds out, it'll be considerably less grand.
  15. Five 20-goal scores would be really surprising, like, top-4 in the NHL surprising. I don't think the team is that good this year. League-wide there were 92 20-goal scorers, or 3 per team.
  16. I think it kinda settles those "what if an AHL team played an NHL team" questions though.
  17. Wow, honored with a shout-out in the GDT title. I've made it!
  18. NerdAlert: it's 8PM EDT, not EST.
  19. When you do the current-NHL discount (20%) on those numbers, Eichel's seem reasonable (40G, 80PTS) but I still think McDavids are a little too high.
  20. As far as I know, the only way to listen on a phone is to subscribe to an NFL Radio package (I think it's $20/year). I haven't had any luck with Tune-in radio or the WGR app. Streaming does work to a laptop, but I've only tried that on my home internet. You *may* be able to use your phone as a hot-spot and use the laptop to listen while on the move, but my guess is the NFL is smart enough to block the major phone provider's IP ranges. I suppose you could go one step further and use a proxy service, but we're really getting out in the weeds now.
  21. Ah. I feel you, in PA the beer distributors have a stranglehold as well and until recently you couldn't buy beer at grocery stores, only cases at distributors or 2 6-packs at delis and bars. The breweries may take a page out of Wegman's book: they did whatever they had to to make the in-store cafe a "restaurant" so they can sell 6-packs there. On the bright side, you can have a beer with your Wegmans sub too. In their case, set up a space in the brewery and "rent" it to another entity as restaurant space.
  22. Sadly, not Kim Davis.
  23. I know Owego NY does it that way. I don't get a sewage bill, so I can't say.
  24. Forget it, he's pizza rolling.
