  1. I've never really paid attention to Tom Brady. AFC guy, nothing to do with the NFC North, good but kind of "whatever."

     

    But as a totally disinterested football fan, I have to admit that dude is an all-time legend, and perhaps the best QB in NFL history.

     

    Really hard to argue against that, no matter how you feel about him.

      Creamsicles are an amazing uniform. Huge Vikings fan, but I do own a creamsicle Bucs hat.

      The creamsicles were classic but I love the pewter color too. They should mix the orange and pewter....along with the old buccaneer logo.

      You could argue Montana wasn't even the best player on his teams.  Brady pretty much always was.

  2. So Aaron Rodgers might be gay, and it might be coming to a news outlet near you soon. I hope this is met with a giant "meh." Who cares who he bangs? I want to watch the dude play football. If he isn't robbing banks in his spare time, I just don't care.

  4. The Union on campus has ousted Runza, and is replacing it with Steak N Shake and a Chik-fil-A. I think that'll be the only Steak N Shake in Nebraska.

      Dr. Gay, one of the physics professors (the same one that did Football Physics on Husker Vision back in the day), used to eat at the union BK everyday. I think he even had office hours there.

      @Comfortably Numb Agree about Freddy's.  Love that place.  I have one less than 1/2 mile from my house.  I have to resist the temptation daily.

      @darkhorse85 Yeah, that place is dangerous. Their steak burgers and fries are great but that Chicago Dog Freddy's style...drool. Love those things.

      KC - what's most interesting about that is not the allegation made (because it's false) but that the "layers" allegation was even made at all. Just goes to show that there are people who will not let this go, no matter what happens.

  8. Did anyone else see that CNN is dumping Sports Illustrated for their sports content provider and using Bleacher Report? About 75% of the reason I ever look at CNN is because of SI. Not anymore....

  9. They just opened a Valentino's in the Union. When is Nebraska going to unhitch that crappy old wagon? Val's has been leeching off this university for decades while their product deteriorates. Jack's frozen pizza would be better.

      I like how most Nebraskans pronounce Totinos "toastinos".

       

      I dislike how most Nebraskans think beef is a pizza topping.

      CheeseHusker

      The last couple of times I've had it, I thought it was as good as it always was.... but I was in some of the smaller towns like Ogallala and Kearney and eating in the restaurant ordering it fresh. Seems like it isn't quite as good at the takeout ones.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      The Dude- I've noticed that too. My wife says toastinos but I say Totinos. We both grew up and lived in Nebraska for about 25 years....

      But I do like me a slice Vals Hamburger pizza at the stadium, probably not because it's really good tho. Need some greasy carbs to help with the alcool more likely.

  10. Walmart is raising their base wage to $11/hour and offering paid parental leave. Almost zero large American employers offer this kind of leave. Hopefully other employers follow suit and this becomes the norm in America - we're the only major industrialized nation that doesn't offer this. American employers seem to punish families for having children. I always thought it was super weird.

      knapplc, maybe start a thread about paid paternal/maternal leave. I think it is an interesting discussion to be had. I don't know how I feel about paid time off that isn't earned and saved.

    3. StPaulHusker

      StPaulHusker

      People need to realize that large corporations do not give a rats ass about their employees and anything they do positive isn't for their employees benefit and there is a negative side to appease shareholders.

      RunMickeyRun02

      So I talked to my wife about this last night, she still has friends stuck at the mart, said that yes minimum is increased but everyone's hours are being slashed and paid time off has been completely redone so that it is very difficult to accrue and even more difficult to use and impossible to use without threats and being yelled at.

      If we take Gandalf, we need to fire the Valar. I think if we offered enough money, Melkor would come. Gandalf has so much talent and the Valar are really holding him back. It's a darn shame.

      @RedSavage your comment made me  think of page 139 or the AA book, "When dealing with an alcoholic [or any addiction], there may be a natural annoyance that a man could be so weak, stupid and irresponsible."  :-)

      JJ Husker

      @knapplc He knew the rules and be broke them.:dunno Whether or not those should be the rules is entirely another issue. And he should be penalized for it because he broke the rules and the vast majority of players seem to manage not having it be a problem. But yeah, the NFL should maybe consider removing weed from banned substances.

       

      It's just a shame that weed has caused him to not reach his potential every step of the way. It negatively affected him at NU and it definitely has been a problem since. Not all of the problems he's had with it would be solved by making it legal.

      @Danimal, paying for a handy is also illegal, maybe it shouldn't be.  But until then, maybe Kraft should just find a way to handle it like millions of others do.
