It isn’t even the same last name: Wilpon = Mets owners; Wilbon = PTI Boob

I grew up in Syracuse. Only big name game in town, so, it’s like the religion there...even though most of the students don’t stay in the area and likely weren’t from there anyway. Many of them are also sad Bills/Sabres fans too, but you still get some wild pro allegiances out of there. I root Yankees, Spurs, Vikings,…

When I worked in consulting, I stayed at the same nice hotel in Boston whenever I could for a couple months. Once I had some rapport with the front desk staff, I asked if they thought they’d be able to honor a request for a suite upgrade the week that I’d be staying there when my birthday would hit if I were to submit…

I just got promoted recently to VP at a huge bank. I’d say that #1 above mattered most, but the other things that contributed most in my situation were politics and exposure. I work in a cross-functional position on a lot of higher profile things, and that often had me in rooms and on calls where I was the lowest…

How much did they have to pay for the domain???

I was at Spurs/Nets a week ago and this guy was getting a lot of love from the stands when he was on the floor, it was awesome.

Any excuse to post this...

Sad Vikings fan chiming in:

Ah - we were both in our mid 30’s when we got married this year. I never would have been ready to marry her or anyone in my 20’s.

As long as the package meets the threshold for post-season ticket eligibility, then yes. If it doesn’t, then no. (You’d be amazed how low that threshold can be depending on the sport/franchise, btw.)

This is why living together before getting married is necessary. My now wife and I lived together got about 18 months before getting engaged - time well spent.

Related - what about those of us with a ton of FSA/HSA funds to blow in the next 48hrs??? I’m finding that these are a real pain in the ass to spend, mostly because the lists that my insurer provide detailing what is/isn’t useable often don’t jive with the register at CVS - and that’s annoying. It is also infuriating…

I Love this man.

Fun fact: a family member directed this video and claims that Cam was a pleasure to work with during the filming, and not a prima-donna. I guess he was also playing with the kid the entire time too, to the point where the kid was having so much fun with him the production team had a hard time keeping him in character.

Lovesick 20 year olds...

I got bounced from the last handful of entries in a VERY LARGE survivor pool thanks to this game. I’d been plotting how to launder the money and not go to the ATM the rest of the decade and everything - I was that close! My disdain for the Patriots has always existed, but it has reached levels that I didn’t believe…

According to my Dr, 1 in 1000 have the side effect. I liked the odds; been on it for two years now. If nothing else, I think it helps you keep what you have. Jury is still out on the “re-growing”, though.

Damn. Well, thanks for the info - back to crying! Ugh.

Wait wait wait -

You went 2-1 last week! Atlanta blew it to the Colts.
