  1. Hey, on the plus side, Ed "that's targeting" Cunningham only said the word targeting twice. This cannot be.
  2. Learned Indiana is a pretty salty team. Also, when we get too conservative on offense it makes the game way too close for comfort.
  3. and cheer as the winners go by.
  4. Great News; DesmoND and Corso both picked Indiana. We should be golden.

      I liked that he picked opposite of Desmond on almost every pick. Des makes me want to punch the TV.

      Kirk is whiny, but Desmond is just bad at what he does.

  6. Well...the girls that live in my creepy basement bathroom know better than to make noise when I am filming Reported!
  7. Week 7 Clemson -17.5 Oklahoma -10.5 Nebraska -3.5
  8. Where is this Display Name History feature? That would be handy sometimes. Is it possibly just a mod/admin feature cuz I can't find it. Nvm...I found it.
  9. I agree. I thought we were talking about his "legacy", as in his accomplishments. Didn't realize a fact of his birth qualified as a legacy. I guess all we really remember about Lincoln was abolition of slavery and the fact he got shot. At least one of those is an actual legacy.
  10. The Obama legacy? As time moves on, his crowning achievement, the ACA (Obamacare) is proving itself to be a real sh#t sandwich. I would have to say it is a pretty serious stain on his legacy when his supposed best amounts to nothing more than a complete clusterf#ck that will have to be significantly changed or repealed to make the system workable. All it did was exacerbate and speed up the fundamental problem. Nice work. Thanks Obama.
  11. Well, I got an email today about renewing my KP Obamacare plan for 2017. This ACA deal is really great, they fixed all the important stuff. My premium....going from $1461/mo to $1874/mo beginning in January. Yeah, that's a paltry 28% increase. Where's carlfense when ya need somebody to tell ya how great of deal this was?
  12. Young pup. I was in college at UNL when MTV started.
  13. Uh guys.....the milk man still exists. Up until about 2 years ago we had weekly home delivery. They still haven't picked up their milk box... They even deliver, bread, eggs, juice, egg nog, cookie dough....
  14. This brings up an interesting point for me. Think of how courteous, professional, eloquent, gracious, and patient MRI has had to be to get people to consider his point of view or at least listen to him and respect that he is being intentional. Does that same threshold of expectation apply to white people, generally? What I'm asking is - is there some implicit bias where we'll accept with more of an open mind what someone with a certain skin color says off the cuff without much thought, whereas we demand others to painstakingly labor to be the best communicators imaginable before we listen to them? IDK, there may be some built in bias depending on what color a person is. I really don't think it is affecting my perception though. I like how some black guys are going about this and I also dislike how some black guys are doing it. The guy who I am least impressed with, I pretty much view as being a white guy. So, if this was a general question, yeah it might be interesting to understand. If it was aimed directly at my original comment, then no, I don't really feel color has anything to do with it.
  15. You could dial a phone number using only the last 5 digits. Pop and beer cans had a pull tab that completely detached from the non-aluminum can. Gas was about .40c/gal. People were up in arms over the price when it approached $1.00. In the mid to late 70's there was a gas "shortage" and people would get in hour + long line waiting to fill up. There were no remote controls. The TV had a 13 position rotary selector switch. At least there were way fewer commercials. No satellites, smartphones, texting, fax machines, tablets, computers, digital anything. Writing and mailing letters was a thing. People actually knew how to talk on the phone and would converse in person.
  16. Either a person is of high moral character or they aren't. Another's shortcomings in that area have absolutely nothing to do with it. That is not an equivalency, it is a fact.
  17. But there is no equivalency, actual or intended....
  18. Well if that is the standard then I guess Hillary supporters are really no better. If we are to go back and lump in every single indiscretion by a candidate and then hold supporters accountable for being fully advised of every single flaw, well, it's not a bright day for either side or party. I understand that Hillary supporters now want to have their moment of glee and rub it in but you might want to rethink that approach. Many of you have stated how Hillary is not a good choice but just a better choice than Trump. Do you really want to be held accountable for all of her baggage in the process? It seems maybe you do. Maybe I should be glad that I bailed on both of them a long time ago and leave it at that. But I also realize there are some inconvenient truths in our political party system. As many have acknowledged prior, it is more a process of selecting the least distasteful candidate than it is picking a good one. Seems quite disengenius at this point in time to be crucifying those fleeing Trump unless you want to be held accountable for supporting the ugly aspects of Hillary Clinton. The fact that Trump may have more and worse skeletons may help assure victory but it sure doesn't improve the look of Hillary support. C'mon, you guys know how politics works. There are almost always some unsavory aspects that have to be overlooked. I'm just glad that so many more have reached the breaking point with Trump. And now, what about Hillary...?
  19. And these last couple weeks exhibit why gambling on a game is such a futile effort. I even really liked my 3 picks, unlike last week. 1-2 week 6, overall 10-8 for +$120 The juice is gettin to me now.
  20. Might want to lighten up a little bit there. Not everyone that supported him knew "full well" who he was or everything he stood for. Sure, some thought him reprehensible before and still supported him for various self serving reasons. It's not a very good look to complain about those who are distancing themselves from him even if many of them should've done it sooner. How about just trying to be happy that his true character and the full weight of the situation is beginning to be realized by more and more people.
  21. ....ah f#ck it. My favorite Corso moment.
  22. While I agree with you 100% if this sounds exactly like what every neighbor says when there's a serial killer in their neighborhood. "I never would've guessed it" he was the nicest guy" came from a great family" That's an anecdote. Of course there are nice, wonderful, family men (on the surface) who are complete d***s. But I've been told the past two days ALL men do this. Not some men. ALL men. Maybe some of these idiots are thinking of themselves when they were 18 and forgetting Trump was 60 when this was recorded. (Not saying it was okay at 18 either, but I have more understanding of it). all men do what, exactly. I don't have Facebook because I don't care what anybody ate for dinner. So I don't know exactly what you are referring to All men talk like Trump did in the leaked audio when they're among their guy friends. All men do it. "Men will be men." The people (men and women) saying this are failing to note the difference between men who have done this in their lifetimes, maybe when they were teenagers, and men who do it as grown adults. You're right of course but there is also a difference other than age and maturity between the way teen boys may engage in this seemingly similar type of locker room talk and an older male such as Trump. When (most) teen boys do it, it may be similarly lewd, bragadocious type talk but it is not done in a manner demeaning to women. IMO opinion there is a huge difference between the comments Trump made (still makes) and the more typical adolescent boy type of gutter talk. A lot of the same words may be utilized but the intent and where it is coming are extremely different places.
  23. Moiraine, rest assured not all men talk or behave this way. A few do however and that is why there are a whole bunch of bad words used to describe these type of scum. And it also is why we still have rapists, sexual abusers, racists, womanizers, wife beaters and all other manner of deplorables in our society. At this point in time, they all seem to be rallying to Trump. Sorry, but if you are supporting Trump after all that has come to light, you deserve the deplorabe moniker. If you don't denounce it and disassociate yourself from it, you cannot claim to be better than that. And sorry but, "Hillary lied" or "Benghazi" or "Bill is as bad or worse" or "8 years of Obama" just doesn't excuse it at all. Not at all.
  24. One thing is for sure, whether Trump steps aside, is somehow forcibly replaced or stays in the race, we've never seen anything like it in American politics. That isn't a good thing. Anybody that goes to polls and votes for this guy should be ashamed, very ashamed. Unfortunately I couldn't think of a worse word than ashamed. At least Hillary voters, who should also be ashamed (see why there needs to be a worse word used above...) to vote for her can say hey, she isn't as bad as Trump. I still can't fathom that this is where we are.
  25. It's definitely not 'nothing', because an element of the story is Trump being good friends with a convicted pedophile predator, and defending him as being a great guy. Well then, it sounds like he's got his health and human services director all set to go.
