You could have made a better effort than that.

Just had a phone screen for a job in Morocco. Not the one in northwest Africa, the one in northwest Indiana.

That sounds like a win for the Sox, and I've never even heard of Surkamp.

Upton (Kate) photos would liven up this thread.

I want to see the Bears make the playoffs in the saddest imaginable way: A Green Bay 55 yard FG attempt with :03 left in overtime falls just short.

Especially since there's no draft lottery and the Bears have no chance at getting a top 10 pick if they do miss the playoffs.

Trading nobody for Rios was a pretty good deal.

Stats the player puts up after being released by the team he was traded to don't really count in the evaluation of the trade.

Prostate cancer is what killed my dad at age 66. This is my public service announcement: Once you reach age 50, insist to your doctor that you have your PSA level included every time you have bloodwork (cholestorol, blood sugar, etc.) done and do it at least every 6 months. If you have a father, grandfather, uncle, or great uncle who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, start getting your PSA level checked at age 40.

The semester officially ended Saturday. His dismissal from school was effective Sunday. If the OSU game had been a day later he would not have been eligible to play.

No activity in this thread for over 32 hours.

Bench the starters now to rest up for GB.

7:15-7:45 was about the most riveting 30 minutes of football I can remember. Thank you Red Zone.

Network has been based on the road team for as long as I can remember.

Clearly this is a very odd loophole in the rule, but once the referees missed the fact that the Steelers had gained possession, the rule was applied appropriately. On a 4th down play, the defense is not allowed to bat a loose ball forwards because it could impact whether or not possession changes.

Right, but it's 4th down, so possession doesn't actually have to change for PIT to get the ball. They are still improving their field position. Think of it like this: The play is a 4th down play where the offense gets barely beyond the first down marker and then fumbles. The defense then bats the ball forward back past the first down marker out of bounds. You can't go and rule that it is now the defense's ball because they batted the ball back past the first down marker but never recovered it.

I have to say Red Zone is worth every penny, even if I had actually paid some pennies for it.

Because it was 4th down, it is a potential change of possession. If PIT bats the ball forward out of bounds, it improves their field position when they take over.

A blocked kick that never advances beyond the line of scrimmage is still a live ball. Pittsburgh never possessed the ball after the block, so when they illegally batted the ball forward out of bounds, it was still Green Bay's ball. EDIT: Just saw a replay that showed that Pittsburgh did in fact, have possession of the ball, so yeah the refs f***ed up.

Defense bailed out PIT.

Just read that, sounds like a similar deal as Golson. Nice timing with the first ACC season coming up.

Sweet fake punt by Steelers! Giants starting to choke though.

How the f*** does WSU go from up 14 to losing by 3 in the last 2:30??? There goes any chance Leach might have had left at ever coaching at a big time school.

Mike Brey has been in full March mode this December. Losing to NDSU and then choking this lead away. Maybe getting pantsed in ACC play will convince him it's time to move on.

Merry Christmas! Don't say Notre Dame has never given you anything.
