  1. My guess is that it counts for neither.
  2. And quite ironic to be on Harvin. Ingram is a beast.
  3. Yeah it sucks, but I still do it when it's wet. Thought the Saints were going to run it all the way in for a TD on that drive. Nice kick though! Harvin.
  4. Game day. Break out the beer, BBQ, and weed. Replace "Thursday Night" with "Saturday Afternoon". Seahawks win. Pats win. Although, I really hope the Colts win, just don't think they pull it off.
  5. You must get a lot of headaches 'round this place. I agree, unless of course, Kane requests to be traded.
  6. That is double radical. A very nice surprise, although it won't be triple radical until pricing is released. That's interesting, but where did you get that? I didn't see it in the article. This comes as no surprise though: Beginning with 2014 Sony BRAVIA TV's for how long I wonder...
  7. No offence to Pats fans, not that they care about my opinion , but I would rather see Luck vs Manning again. Reason? If Brady and Manning play against each other again it won't matter who wins, there will still be a pissing match between fans of each about who is better and for what reasons. I am looking forward to Brady vs Luck though, it should be an awesome battle. Russel Wilson. You had better be reviewing tape from the first half of the season where you could do no wrong. Keep your passes on point. For the love of Christ Seahawks D just make sure that no damned Saints come in to Seattle and break anything open.
  8. http://www.victoriawhiskyfestival.com/index.php January 16th through 19th. Lots of daytime sessions with pros who [claim to be able to] teach us all something we didn't know. I'm hitting the consumer tasting, one or two master classes, and am contemplating the distillers dinner as it would no doubt be an excellent meal. Well worth the money.
  9. Chiefs can still salvage a win and some momentum if they can pull it of in OT. I wouldn't want to be the team playing the Chargers though if they win. Packers going for one surprised me. A lot. I was surprised the announcers didn't say much about it at the time.
  10. San Diego turning it on late. Christ. I always liked Edelman, even if he does play for the Pats. Welker plays so hard that I always thought an injury would get him. Too bad it had to happen while on a great run with the Broncos. Rams are really coming apart at the seams.
  11. Sure have, same as last week, and all season actually, too bad the offense couldn't translate to points.
  12. Also, I don't subscribe to Sunday Ticket but am getting all the channels FREE right now in case anyone else wants to watch a different game.
  13. For the last 3 weeks Wilson has not made the accurate throws he made all season long. I just chalked it up to a short term funk, but if he doesn't figure it out soon it will be a short playoff appearance this year.
  14. I'm no Steelers fan, but wow does KC pull a move to hurt Pitts chances. San Diego should walk into a W pretty easily. On the same wavelength, I have never been a fan of benching starters in a game like this. Yeah you have injuries and rest to consider, but momentum from [potentially] a big loss could be tough to rebound from heading into the playoffs, even for pros. I actually want KC to win just to laugh at how the Steelers made the playoffs, even though San Diego followed a similarly improbable path themselves they still have to play to get in, Pitt already won their game, it would make me laugh to have them gifted a spot with their record. Like the Seahawks in 2010.
  15. So skip over that part. You'll live.
  16. Drew Breesed right by this when I read the page this morning, I remember watching that episode. Absolutely crazy. At the time of the draft I was 3 years old, so 30 for 30 caught me up on some pretty wild history. Marino falling so far for no reason, Elways pitiful excuses for not wanting to be a Colt definitely came off as wienery as one Eric Lindros once did, and Kelly with his 4 straight SuperBowl appearances with no victories, Karma for not wanting to be there? 30 for 30 rocks. I also loved the Pony Excess episode where NCAA SMU recieved the Death Penalty for major unsavouries, and the resulting guilt as the NCAA realized that they completely destroyed the SMU program as a result. On a hockey note, Big Shot featuring John Spano was hlarious, seriously. What a joke!
  17. Big-ass Sunday of football coming up now! Some or most of you have likely seen this or know of bits of it already, for those who haven't, some crazy scenarios from NFL.com showing how some teams can still make, or fall out of, the playoffs: We've broken down both the NFC and AFC playoff pictures. The NFL has provided all of the clinching scenarios this week, and we have the NFL standings memorized. Now let's shake up the whole picture again. This is my favorite time of year. There are so many permutations of how the next two weeks could go, but it never materializes how we expect it to. Thus far, only four teams have punched their ticket into the playoffs. Here are some of the craziest scenarios that could still happen over the next two weeks: AFC North's No. 2 or nothing scenario If Baltimore and Cincinnati both win Sunday, the AFC North title will be on the line during their Week 17 showdown. There's a real chance that the winner of Ravens-Bengals in Week 17 could be the No. 2 seed in the AFC, and the loser of the game would fall right out of the playoffs. There are a lot of X-factors in this scenario, but it would create perhaps the most important Week 17 game of all time. Not only would it be a play-in game, the winner would essentially win two games, skipping right past Wild Card Weekend. Imagine Bengals fans knowing they could host a divisional round game or be headed home for the offseason. Arizona wins out and it doesn't matter The Cardinals could win in Seattle, and then defeat San Francisco in Week 17 to get to 11-5. The Cardinals would be one of the hottest teams in the league, and it probably wouldn't matter. Here's how: The 49ers will clinch a playoff spot with a win over Atlanta Monday night, a likely result. The Cardinals would also lose any tiebreaker with New Orleans if the Saints finish at 11-5 and second place in the NFC South. In short: The Cardinals need to root for the Saints to win in Carolina on Sunday. Because the Cardinals hold the tiebreaker over the Panthers, Arizona has to hope Carolina doesn't win the NFC South. Speaking of which ... Arizona loses in Seattle, makes the playoffs anyhow This is probably the Cardinals' most realistic route to the playoffs. Arizona could lose in Seattle, but the Cardinals would still make the playoffs if they beat San Francisco in Week 17 and Carolina lost their final two games. The Panthers face the Saints this week and then head to Atlanta for the season finale. It would be a surprise if Carolina lost both of those games, but crazier things have happened. Such as ... Pittsburgh to the playoffs At 6-8, the Steelers haven't been eliminated yet. They need to win their final two games to have a chance, and then it gets really tricky. Baltimore and Miami would both have to lose their final two games, and San Diego would have to lose at least once. Pittsburgh also needs the New York Jets to win the last two weeks for a chance. (It's complicated to explain why, but essentially the Steelers need the Jets to knock out Miami with their division record if everyone was 8-8.) So, yes: The Browns-Jets game has playoff implications Sunday. Browns fans like Marc Sessler could watch their team eliminate the Steelers from contention. It's not a playoff win, but it's not bad. It would be fun if the Steelers just got to Week 17 with this scenario alive. Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis in wild-card round The Denver Broncos are in good shape to win the AFC West, but it's not a sure bet yet. If the Broncos were upset in Houston this week, Kansas City could push Denver all the way down to the AFC's No. 5 seed if the Chiefs won out. As the No. 5 seed, the Broncos would head on the road in the wild-card round. Their most likely opponent there: the Colts. It would be too cruel for Manning to have another one-and-done playoff experience in Indianapolis. The Patriots don't make the playoffs There's been an assumption all season that New England would be a big part of the playoffs. They still are in good position to get a playoff bye, but nothing is guaranteed yet. New England could fall right out of the playoffs, with the Miami Dolphins winning the AFC East. The Patriots would need to lose at home against Buffalo in Week 17 for this to happen, which sounds rather unlikely. (Then again, they barely beat Houston and Cleveland.) Another Miami loss also would clinch the AFC East for the Patriots. Carolina could be the No. 1 seed or fall out of the playoffs The Panthers have to worry about the scenario mentioned above where Arizona finishes with 11 wins to knock out the Panthers. Then again, the winner of New Orleans-Carolina still has a chance to get home-field advantage for the playoffs. For that to happen, Seattle would need to lose their final two games. San Francisco would need to win their final two games, which would give the 49ers the NFC West. Carolina and New Orleans both beat San Franciso, so both teams would win any tiebreaker at 12-4
  18. 30/30 for me, it's a no hitter, natural hat trick, and a pick six all in one. Very supportive ownership who get their own hands dirty. If we need something to do the job better or faster we get it ASAP. Good company vision and a proven business model. Positive environment. High quality product that is enjoyable after work. Very fair pay and excellent benefits. I'm proud to wear the company logo because they make the staff feel like part of the family.
  19. Sounds like the batteries in the new controller are lame to begin with if 10 minutes drains the battery any significant amount. My PS3 controllers last for a good length of time before needing a charge. I wouldn't use any gaming system for Netflix though for 2 reasons: 1 - my laptop works great with an HDMI cable and I feel like that would extend the lifespan of my consoles by using them only for gaming and not movie marathons and such, and 2 - consoles don't understand the concept of Unblock, at least I think they don't These days I tend to spend more time reading tidbits about games than I spend actually playing them. That probably helped me put back the days novelty item for the impulsive purchaser.
  20. That's just rancid seal blubber. Try this beauty: Aisla T'Orten 105 Year Old 1906
  21. Yeah I mistyped. I meant most CAPITAL cities. The Society exists in 16 countries. Calgary I think is your closest bet, Kensington Market or something. Meetings are once a month. www.smws.ca
  22. Gotcha, I figured as much, just couldn't resist the urge to spew a factoid. JW Gold might just get JW Old. Hey-O! Alright, I'm done. I respect your willpower. I have 8 bottles in my collection. All open, but not all open recently. I make 'em last. I can't hold on to them uncorked for too long, they simply must be enjoyed. Maybe one day I will learn your ways. Until then, here come another Oban! I'll have to check out that club, sounds like a good thing for you. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is badass. Memberships available in most major cities, and when you go travelling you can sit in on their local tastings. All they do is drink the rare Scotch that cannot be purchased by any other mean than through them, in Canada anyways. Some are hits, some are misses, all are Scotch. Eight 1/4 oz tastes a tasting, and more if you ask for a refill. Buy what you enjoy, or buy nothing. Either way, you win.
  23. Beat me to it by 7.3 seconds! I'm confused as to what you mean by the second bolded part, you do realize that Whisky does not perform like wine when cellared right? All of the maturation comes from casking. The natural oxidation and chemical reactions occurring as the whisky remains in contact with the wood is what smoothes out the booze and creates a finer product. That, and having a good product enter the barrels in the first place. Very little to nothing happens in a bottle. Is your club the Scotch Malt Whisky Society perhaps?
  24. Totally right. I wouldn't normally slip like that, thanks for pointing it out. A moderately delicious single malt on me for catching that! I'll amend here to "Texan whisky? I never even..." I know, I have heard it from a few friends, and 2 liquor store managers. Sorry guys, can't be bothered to post the whole article right now, but for those interested in what the deal is... clicky.
