    Mister Potter

    Following a Family Tradition, I watched It's a Wonderful Life with me Mum on Amazon Prime tonight. I noticed some strange things about the scene where Mister Potter offers George Bailey a Lucrative Job: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QzX5cGKN6Eg"...

    Week 12 Other Games

    I apologize if I am stepping on someone's toes by starting this thread. Am I biased, or does Matt Stafford have a long history of choking in the clutch? I mean, those two picks he threw at the end (the pick 6 and the one he threw for a Chicago touchback) reminded me of that part of the Burt...

    BB mic'd up vs. the Packers

    Didn't see this posted here yet, if it has been, mods please delete. There is a run of big plays for the Patriots starting at 2:30 to which BB has the same "whatever" reaction. Is that a rig-job by the editors, or is this how BB usually reacts to big plays by his own team? <iframe...

    Full Disclosure

    So, tonight, I went to a local High School Football game, and I ran into Peyton Manning. Yeah ... that guy. Being the consummate gentleman that I pretend to be, I walked up, told him my full name, and shook his hand. What is my punishment on this board for this transgression? I await...

    Week 16 Other Games

    I guess nobody started one of these on Thursday night? :shrug: Anyway, the Redskins got the ball on the Eagles' six yard line with no timeouts and a few seconds left in the first half ... and Kirk Cousins took a knee, blowing a chance for at least a field goal. :huh: I'm only listening over...

    Week 12 Other Games

    I didn't see this thread started anywhere else; I apologize if I've stepped on someone's toes by starting this one. I've been halfway listening to the Lions-Iggles game on the radio (Westwood One). Before the game, one of the commentators was talking about how "it's been suggested" that the...

    Gronk's Mental Toughness

    It appears that Rob Gronkowski practices his mental toughness by not eating the entire six-pound pie on Thanksgiving. Link This guy cracks me up. :toast:

    OT - International Rules Football between Australia and Ireland

    Tomorrow at Croke Park in Dublin there will be an All-Star match between Australian Rules Footballers and Gaelic Rules Footballers in a game known as "International Rules Football." I've been a fan of the Hawthorn Hawks in the Australian Football League (AFL) since 1984, and this hybrid game...

    Retired Army Colonel arrested for drunk driving, killing state trooper

    Note to fans of any NFL team: If you're going to get drunk at the game, and hit and kill a state trooper on the drive home, at least have the decency to not wear a replica of your favorite player's jersey in your mug shot. :doh: Sheesh. Link

    OT - Winter Storm Ajax

    This is the first named Winter Storm I've ever had to deal with personally. If the storm is bad enough for them to give it a name, does that usually mean schools, public buildings, and some businesses will be closed the next day?

    Gostkowski sings a song in his head on the sideline

    Here is Gostkowski's press conference after today's game. At around 3:27 of this video a reporter asks him how he stays focused on the sidelines, and he replied that he "sings a song in his head," but he adamantly refused to tell them what song. I'm going with Kung Fu Fighting. Ha!!! <iframe...

    Reputation Bling

    I've read the FAQ pages about reputation, but they don't seem to explain what, exactly, the indicators mean. I've even tried Googling "vBulletin reputation indicator," but that turned up nothing useful. For example, does anyone have a guide that shows what the (gold/silver/bronze?) reputation...

    The Syrians have taken over Soxplanet

    Someone named "Security Dragon," who claims to be a supporter of Bashar al-Assad, has hacked soxplanet.com. I'm not sure what the Red Sox have to do with Middle Eastern Civil Wars, but there you have it.

    2012 MLB Postseason

    I just saw a highlight of Coco Crisp catching the last out in centerfield in that division-clinching game against Texas. Brings back memories of the 2007 ALCS. :***: Anyway, does anyone here have a rooting interest in any of these teams? Having lived in the SF Bay Area for 10+ years, I'd be...
