The irony was on the same game I won 140 bucks.

Won 140, lost out on 30k. Talk about mixed emotions.

Makes my $40 look bad I suppose. Not so much the money as the constant ribbing I could give cow-orkers.

I missed out on 30k in vegas once because of a kick.
True story.

I thought of that. Missing a point after is so unlikely though I didn’t really give it much thought. I’m more pissed that it cost me real money. More pissed about that than the team I was pulling for losing.

6 point difference means that if the Pats scored a touchdown they could still miss the extra point causing overtime.

Ok, now explain the attempted two-point conversion after that last touchdown. What did the Giants have to gain from it? It didn’t eat time. It didn’t force the Patriots to score a TD. They already had to. 5 or 6 points up, same difference. I just want an explanation as to why they decided to cost me a win in the office pool by not kicking that point after.

The Divide has me intrigued – sounds like a character study flick with a twist. I want to see it now. Screw low release bullshit.

Assholes.

Good read. Sorry for your losses, and the family losses. I as well know family and close friend losses are no fun. This article also hits close to home; as I found out my Grandma’s own health is at risk again. Found out her cancer has gone into remission. They caught it at a very early stage; so there is hopefully a good chance they can stop it before it gets to out of control.

Helen sounds like a true, amazing human, a great person was lost.

Have you stopped urinating in Nutting’s Panera cup, yet?

Lol – yep I care nothing for his religious antics.

I do totally believe that Elway made Tebow the starter this year with the full intention of him totally crapping out and losing games so he could get the QB he really wanted – Andrew Luck.

Even now his only endorsement of Tebow is that he is the starter going into training camp. Guess what – He was the starter going into training camp last year! How’d that turn out?

On a related tangent… Does Husain Abdullah of the Vikings perform some symbolic, “show-boat” Muslim-based gesture upon every good luck turn he encounters on the field?

Tebow is a prick who makes sure to act less a prick and more a priest. His p-e-r-s-o-n-a-l beliefs takes precedence over everyone else on the field, in the stadium, on the continent and around the world. Imagine a world in which everyone acted just like him. Wow… almost everyone does… and, thus, wars, genocide, female-focused violence, animal cruelty — all in the name of a Gawd.

Tebow… you suck. And given have a chance, I’d kick you in the face during one of your te-bows.

I was really surprised The Descendants took the Golden Globe over The Help….The Globes are voted on by the foreign press correspondents. I wonder if there wasn’t the connection with the film given its topic was something they weren’t as intimately familiar with, even though many of their nations still have similar oppression of different groups of people based on race, color, religion, etc.. I thought The Descendants was pretty great also, but The Help should win the Oscar. If it doesn’t. I’ll be pretty let down.

Good stuff. That bit on religious nutbag commenting on your twitter made me chuckle.

The Help was actually amazing.

Obvioulsy, this tactic only works if you can play good defense. Patriots scoring 30+ points in the first half doomed the Broncos

OMFG I totally agree! I have been saying all of these points for years. The problem, as you illustrated, requires a severe paradigm shift – and it would work. It also requires some cajones on the part of a coach. To your point teams invest loads of cash (look at the money wasted in KC) on a QB and are terrified of the idea of him getting hurt.

To me College football is way more exciting to watch.
