I would assume they're in the Southwest Conference.

Curvature of the earth?

I think that's part of the point. Once they knew they were being watched closely and would be penalized more, they started to be less holdy with their coverages, which probably brought them back to the pack.

More "Fox". At least spread it around a bit.

"Fox"? Any other tired and non-related buzzwords?

You showed him! Now question his birth certificate, because once you've stepped in it, you might as well wade to the middle.

He didn't act like he'd been there before. Sheesh.

I think in cases like this, you just mutter to yourself "That's not what I think of as 'horrific and inhumane'" and leave it at that... Better safe than sorry.

Wrong on the Pop-Tarts. If you want your specific brand you can either: specify and pay up in advance; keep your fingers crossed; or go get them yourself. If you want me to decide and pay for them: you get what you get and keep the whine to yourself.

I bet Jocquez Bruce taunts tackling dummies, too...

Funny thing is, if you look up "ad hominem" criticism...

That'll weed out the losers, huh! You and I would be billionaires, 'cause we're smart and hard workers! And I'm sure the risk of over-performing is a risk they're willing to take. Oh, and I was being wry and witty in my previous comment. And I'm hungry.
