QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 11:58 PM) @nfldraftscout: 4:25 game: Broncos vs. Chiefs Sunday Night Football: Giants vs. Washington Something is wrong here… QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 09:10 AM) Broncos probably already at their limit for NBC games. No, apparently CBS is allowed to "protect" one game each week from being flexed out. They made a deal with the NFL a few weeks back to allow them to flex one of the KC-Denver games but they were going to protect the other. Unfortunately this is the result of that this week. They did move the KC-Denver game from 1 to 4:25 though so it will be their national game in the late afternoon slot for probably 80-90% of the country.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2013 -> 01:16 AM) So I hate Ohio State because they have the worst fan base in sports, but why are people writing them off against Florida State? They may give up 40 points, but they can score 49 on them. If they score enough to beat MSU, then watch out. I think it is extremely unlikely anyone would put up 49 on FSU's defense. If OSU were to win the game it'd have to be something like 20-17 in my opinion.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Nov 30, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) The backup for FSU, is good enough to beat OSU. He's going to be a hot commodity if he's does the graduate transfer thing. So FSU wins, Mizzou loses tonight, South Carolina beats Auburn, MSU beats OSU and we have FSU vs Alabama for the title. Huh? Maguire is a freshman. And he's actually their 3rd string. Coker was the 2nd but he's out for the year with a knee injury.

So I have to decide on a WR2 and a QB2 this week and not sure what to do. Decker or Shorts at WR? Ryan (@ Buf), Keenum (NE) or Fitzpatrick (@ IND) for 2nd QB? It's a 6 point for TD pass and also PPR if that matters

18 year old American-born Julian Green got into Bayern's match vs CSKA today in the 89'. Unfortunately he is provisionally cap-tied to Germany so he'd need to file a one time switch. I think it's 50/50 he ever plays for the USMNT

Oh and that Dez Bryant stat correction, I just looked at my FanDuel, and I missed the payout threshold by less than .3 points and the guy directly ahead of me in the last money spot of course had Dez and his incorrect stats. Weekly sites like that don't do stat corrections. That sucks lol

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 07:58 PM) Soooo looks like I'm gonna be stat corrected for the loss because of a weird Dez Bryant play, unf***inbelievable. So this is going to be 2 games that I lost by less than a point and 2 stat corrections this season, pretty epic stuff. That's brutal. That Phil Dawson FG with 6 minutes left sunk me. I lost by 1.5 despite having the 2nd highest score (we pay top score weekly too) thanks to Eric Decker's 1.5 points and Ben Tate getting benched for Dennis f***ing Johnson. Ugh.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) OK, I know we've done some rules trivia for baseball before, but here's one for football: Team A leads Team B 28-27 with :05 left in the 4th quarter. Team A has 4th and 8 from its own 16 yard line. Team A punts the ball. Team B has a returner who signals for a fair catch at his own 39 yard line as the clock expires. Team B, in an attempt to prevent an untimed fair catch free kick, deliberately interferes with Team A's returner and prevents him from making the catch. What should the officials do? A) A fair catch interference penalty of 15 yards is enforced on Team A, but since time is expired the game is over. B) A fair catch interference penalty of 15 yards is enforced on Team A. Once a ball is kicked the kicking team assumes the role of defense, the penalty occurred after the kick, and the game cannot end on a defensive penalty. Therefore Team B will be allowed one untimed down from the Team A 46 yard line, but they will not have the option of a fair catch free kick. C) A fair catch interference penalty of 15 yards is enforced on Team A. Once a ball is kicked the kicking team assumes the role of defense, the penalty occurred after the kick, and the game cannot end on a defensive penalty. Therefore Team B will be allowed the option of a fair catch free kick from the Team A 46 yard line, but they will not have the option of one untimed down. D) A fair catch interference penalty of 15 yards is enforced on Team A. Once a ball is kicked the kicking team assumes the role of defense, the penalty occurred after the kick, and the game cannot end on a defensive penalty. Therefore Team B will be allowed their choice of a fair catch free kick from the Team A 46 yard line OR one untimed down from the same spot. I'm gonna say B

So I have high hopes for next week's Walking Dead episode, and I kind of understand why the last 3 episodes were necessary, but damn have they been pretty boring. I've read the comics, so I believe

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 08:32 AM) Best prank ever! http://www.youtube.com/embed/HG_wfMK7dko?rel=0 I want to be friends with them

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) Not a direct reaction to this goal alone, but I am alone in thinking that Lloris is overrated? I'm a Spurs fan and I just don't think the guy is all that good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 24, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) Refs giving Duke a free timeout And then they gave them a nice home cooking call in the final seconds as well. It's Duke though, so nothing new there

Oh, and I lost in my Fan Duel 50/50 league by 0.27 points this week. Stellar lol

My luck continues to be unfathomably terrible this year. Thanks to Eric Decker's whopping 1.5 points last night, I am going to score the second highest in my league this week yet lose unless my opponent doesn't get more than 5 points out of Phil Dawson. And if I lose I will fall to 4-8 and barring a miracle miss the playoffs despite having the 4th most points scored in the league. Ugh

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 21, 2013 -> 09:32 PM) Whoa http://deadspin.com/jameis-winston-isnt-th...teac-1467707410 I read that, and as bad as that is, I wasn't even surprised because I've just assumed stuff like that happens on every significant college campus when it comes to athletes.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 12:49 AM) I still don't understand how Uruguay's ranking is high enough to be in the seeded pot. They needed to qualify from the playoff. That should be all that matters. It's FIFA. Most of what they do is tough to understand

Has anyone ever taken tax preparation classes or courses? I do my own taxes and know so many people who have no idea what they're doing that I've been thinking about taking some so when tax time rolls around I might be able to make a little extra money on the side helping out. Anyone do this or know someone who does? I'm looking for the best way to just get started with it.

France just leveled their match on aggregate 2-2. And of course the goal that tied it was way offside.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 07:48 AM) Rivers vs. KC or RGIII vs. SF? I'd probably go RG3. Home game and even when he's (and Washington) have been bad, he turns in good fantasy numbers.

QUOTE (staxx @ Nov 18, 2013 -> 04:38 PM) how does everyone feel about matt ryan v NO? i have russell wilson on bye could drop ryan to get palmer, dalton, glennon or mccown It's at home so I'm going to use him in my 2 QB league over Keenum. NO defense is good but it's not as good on the road and NO will score a lot so I think (hope) that means Atlanta will also be throwing a lot

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 18, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) Random question - anyone collect coins or stamps? I was at a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago and ended up winning an assortment of coins and stamps. They're supposedly valued at about $1,000 (for a $40 donation...not bad!). Anyways, one of the stamps in particular was valued at $400 bucks. Some used 1920's stamp from a zeppelin flight or something. I have no idea where to go to (1) get an idea of what this stuff is worth, (2) whether it's worth holding on to, and if not (3) where to sell them. I collect some coins. My favorite is a 1602 Queen Elizabeth silver 2 pence

Looks like I just lost Darren Sproles mid-game, again. Unreal.

Both of my QBs got pulled from their games today LOL. This has been the fantasy season from hell for me and it just somehow keeps getting worse
