Out of the Blue [Jan 04, 2021, 11:55 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Yesterday was a roller coaster of emotions in my tackle football viewing. I
never expected the Eagles to actually throw the game last night, but there it
is. Maybe the NFL should consider a draft lottery like the NBA to help
discourage tanking. Anyway, the Giants were 6-10 on the season, so they didn't
really deserve to be in the playoffs. If you are a fan of one of the
teams that made the playoffs, congratulations, and good luck. Moving on,
congrats also to our Pigskin Pick'em winners: trilobite820 won the straight pick
pool, and espn17722565 took top honors in the spread pool (if not the nickname
pool). I was in the middle of the pack in the non-spread pool and dead last in
the spread pool, so I obviously need to fire my scouting staff.

The only reason I can think they threw it was to move from 9th to 6th in the draft. If Pederson survives it won't be a good sign for Philly fans...

It's been decades, but I think we were taught back in the day that they all are, except maybe Jupiter due to its gravity?
All planets leak.
Indeed, that's what I get, commenting before watching the video. It was a short video too, I was thinking it was going to be some 50 minute monstrosity. Minus points to the narrator for not saying 'Your En us" and saying "Your anus" instead though.

2021, you suck
I dunno. If it was 2020, she'd be completely dead. At least with 2021, she's only mostly dead.

Well a lot of us are getting old and death is something that happens when you get old. What saddens me is when it takes the young, like this mother with 4 kids who was an internet influencer.

I really feel for those kids growing up without their mom. That is tragic and sad.
Sadder than most. I wonder what killed her, aneurism?

From a WP piece on the game:“I was coaching to win,” Pederson told reporters via Zoom late Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.The only reason I can think they threw it was to move from 9th to 6th in the draft. If Pederson survives it won't be a good sign for Philly fans...
Yeah, and I’m Ernest Hemingway.
also to screw the giants. if they'd have won the giants would've won the nfc east and made the playoffs.
Moreover, as if the "husband" (no one seems to know when or if they were actually married) didn't look suspicious and slimy AF enough just on appearances... he was one of the first to report her "death" and made a statement about how he was there with her and "held her in her last moments". There is something seriously hinky going on here.
How about Entertainment Weekly?

Inside Edition and Daily Beast also have stories on her not being dead. But yeah, I'd like to see a more substantial news source...

RIP Alexi, Hatebreeder is one of the all time great melodic death albums! 41 is just wayy too young to go...
Anyone find a noteworthy scatological relationship between "Meteorologist's stomach-churning PSA on eating icicles goes viral" and "Uranus is leaking?"
This is hilarious.

I do not remember this version of the page logo at all.
And I perused the archive many times since the end of the custom logos...
Weird.
edit: Well it's certainly in there... but I see why I didn't remember it from the time... it was only up for less than 5 days.

Such is life. Even worse when it's children dying. I had a couple of nurse friends who worked at Sick Kids. I have no idea how they managed to work there. I just couldn't do it. Still, no one should be having more than 1 kid maximum anymore. That's selfish and stupid. The planet's full, time to license reproduction already.

I have Freedom Force and it's sequel in the original boxes. Loved those games...love the logo.

RIP Tanya Roberts. Your appearance in "Beastmaster" helped form my love of redheads.
Thank you for pulling that string in my head. I knew I recognized her....
