Because if the defense/return team is smart, rather than catch it, they just bat it to the ground. Now they start at your line of scrimmage.

I would guess there would be a time runoff for that kind of thing.

If you can fake the concussion for a bit, you can even lengthen your stay indoors. At this time of year, every minute inside is a chance for your frostbitten fingers to heal. If you go outside too quickly, the frostbite kills your fingers, requiring you to chew them off.

I was wondering the same thing. They sell companies like Cub Scouts sell donuts, you say? So, they don’t do that at all? Gotcha.

I hadn’t been losing interest, and so close on the heels of Colbert ending the Report, it was tough for me for a bit, but as soon as he was “free” to say what he wanted, those last few weeks were some of his best. I’m truly surprised he didn’t at least stick around through the election, but seeing him with…

When will our elected officials get angry about this sort of thing? The Republicans are a lost cause, they’ll probably brand these people as heroes defending freedom or ignore it completely. Democrats will make sad speeches trying to appeal to everyone’s better judgment. I want someone with some actual power to just…

True. Oliver or Colbert could have jumped in and kept the Daily Show operating on all cylinders...except they already had their own shows. Samantha Bee and Jason Jones likewise had already moved on. Jessica Williams has said she didn’t think she was ready for the desk. So who else would have been a better choice? And…

Have you gone back to watch some of the early Jon Stewart shows though? He was equally raw and almost painful to watch. There were a lot of people clamoring for Craig Kilborn to be brought back.

Considering Dark Matter and Dark Energy are essentially place holders, there is still room for the many worlds theory. We can see the effects of DM and DE, but we have virtually no explanation for what they actually are. It is conceivable that the DE that is causing the expansion of our universe is simply the…

I pretty much use Facebook as a news feed. I’ve never bothered with RSS, so any sites I like, including this one, I like on Facebook, and their new articles show up.

I’m exactly the opposite. I actually enjoy going down on women, but my wife won’t let me. She thinks it’s gross, will refuse to kiss me if I do, and pushes me away if I even attempt it.

“Cheating” tends to imply doing something with someone else. Hiding an addiction, doing something solo that your partner would not approve of is more along the lines of “lying.” Of course, some lies are worse than others. Lying about going to Las Vegas and blowing all of your money on gambling is probably worse than…

From the numbers I’m seeing, a first rounder is 2 to 4 times more likely to make it to a Pro Bowl as a first rounder than a fifth rounder. That still leads me to believe 5 fifth rounders is the better deal.

Oh, it definitely is. I’m not trying to minimize the suffering of parents with missing/dead children.

I look at it more as playing the odds. The college game is very different from the pro game. The odds that a person will easily transition from one to the other without needing at least a portion of a full season to get acclimated are low. By putting all of your eggs in one basket, especially picking first overall,…

The question wasn’t so much about first rounders but first over-all picks. There is a lot of hype and expectation for someone picked first oin a draft, and very rarely do they live up to it. You also have to look at the current CBA where first rounders get paid quite a bit more than 5th rounders, so you’re gambling a…

I wasn’t thinking of trading them to get out of the fifth round, maybe into the bottom of the fourth, but more about just moving to where need and value meet within the round. Most teams are willing to move around the lower rounds.

That’s even riskier. If you pick someone else, the fans and the media are going to go crazy. If that pick doesn’t pan out, you’ll be gone before the end of the season. If you get it right, you’ll be hailed as a genius, but your pick will be measured against the one everyone else agreed on until one or both of them…

I take the five fifth round picks. Picking first overall is a terrible position. There is always a consensus choice for who should be first (maybe two players who vie for the spot), so you have to choose them, but if they bomb (and recent history has shown that to be a distinct possibility) it’s all your fault and…

Yeah, parents definitely have to know their kid and know what they can be trusted to do on their own, and 4 is definitely too young, no matter how “mature” the kid seems. There should be a ramp up of just how far and how unsupervised you let your kid be from playing alone in another room in your house, to playing…
