Today is the day that Daylight Saving Time ended in these parts, so we did the
whole "fall forward" dealie. As stated often in the past, I prefer daylight time
to standard time, but the 25 hour day is awesome... I vote for finding a way to
slow the Earth's rotation to make all days 25 hours long.

Haha, there is only one of my 5 wrong picks currently that all three of them didn't also get wrong.
My saving grace this week was picking Cleveland. Didn't have a specific reason to pick them other than I just thought they were playing better than Baltimore was.

Ahh, I had seen those, but I didn't noticed they appeared prior to the games being played.

Not interested RT.
It's the little images that appear over the team choices usually on Wednesday or Thursday.
You can see there picks? How?

I was so busy last week I didn't have much to do research or etc. I just figured I would trust the Insider picks and end up ok. Never again!

Same. *sigh I had some upsets picked....the wrong ones..... 4 wins. wow. Only 4 home teams lost yesterday.... I didn't pick all away teams, but I picked 3 of those 4 home teams. ugh.
Yeah the sad thing is that I would have lost even more if the Seahawks and Colts hadn't managed last minute miracles.

Also my body woke up an hour early, not a great Monday morning
Oh come the fuck on, you gotta admit that's a pretty ridiculous thing to get pissy about.
Not interested, no one cares, don't infect OOTB.
No one's infecting anything, it was a dumb thing to get pissy at, nothing more nothing less. Relax.

Take your butthurt about EA somewhere else.
Got hammered on my picks yesterday, so many upsets. I'll be lucky to be .500 this week

Typical Hollywood nonsense in that Slow Mo Guys video. Prop grenades with small explosions set off remotely, and gasoline-fueled fireballs on the side of a concrete structure... But then, I wouldn't expect any less from an EA-sponsored production. There's no way corporate marketing and liability agents would let real explosives anywhere near those guys.
OMG you're so right, those explosions aren't realistic enough! Quick lets hate on them because EA was involved marketing Battlefield 4!!!
Dear lord some of you really need to find better things to get pissy about.

I thought Chewsday was Guy Fawkes day. Renember, remember the 5th of November....
Good point. Perhaps the celebrations start at 23:59 on the 4th, as the plot was uncovered during the early hours of the 5th. I didn't know anywhere outside the UK cared, it must have followed the emigrates out there.
It amuses me that he's associated with anarchy. He was trying to bring in Catholic theocracy, about as un-anarchist as you can get.

Annnnnndddd Houston loses. Luck's 10th 4th quarter comeback, most of any 2nd year qb of all time. Really diggin that guy leading the Colts. On a side note, i hope Houston's coach is ok.

Yeah, I hate weeks with a lot of home underdogs. Didn't feel confident at all going in. By far my worse week so far but I have a feeling I won't be alone.

Cutter wrote on Nov 3, 2013, 19:57:As I've said before, have everyone use GMT. Now, make a meeting appointment with someone on the other side of the world, and have no confusion over the time. Does it really matter if the time you are getting up is 7 am or 13 GMT, of course not. Sure it will be tougher on us "old" folks, but in 10-15 years there will be a generation who will find it quite natural and useful.
Like that DST article and fully agree!
