    Flag football now an Olympic sport (to debut at L.A. games 2028)

    https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/international-olympic-committee-approves-flag-football-for-2028-summer-olympics Love this part (though it is five years out): Tyreek Hill playing flag football :eek: He could probably pick up a couple of football-slinging Joes from...

    Automobile A/C mystery (not likely to buy my own parts, after all)

    I understand why auto repair shops might not want to do this. They lose out on the parts markup. Or the customer fouls up and gets the wrong part, and makes it the shop's problem. Or whatever else. Still ... my understanding is that some independent shops will, indeed, install a part that a...

    Does the word "scandoval" mean anything to you?

    My recent participation in the Succession thread gave me the idea to start this one. It's almost like a flavor of "What's Normal?" -- I'm completely oblivious to one big burgeoning current thing in pop culture (the show Succession). So I will post about something that is all over my radar due...

    Post-Tua injury ... revamped concussion protocol needed in the NFL?

    Below, I am posting several messages from the main Tua Tagavailoa player thread to avoid completely hijacking it. Thought it would be good to start a new thread and bring the concussion-protocol discussion over here: Doug B wrote (consider this the OP): Just thinking out loud here ... This...

    Older singers still sounding great after all these years

    (inspired the recent "What happened to Jon Bon Jovi?" thread) Who have been some popular music singers -- any genre -- who have been able to keep sounding great even after decades of performing? Especially ones you've heard live in recent years? Understandably and quite naturally, as artists...

    Budget cell carriers like Mint and Cricket -- worth it compared to AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile?

    Anyone ever switch from major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile to budget carriers like Mint or Cricket? I understand that sometimes the budget carrier is affiliated with the big-name carrier -- for instance, Cricket is affiliated with AT&T and runs in AT&T's network. I think...

    Finish last in your league? Suffer the Waffle House treatment ...

    'Full of waffles but devoid of life:' Fantasy football loser punished with 15 hours in Waffle House (Yahoo Sports) Not sure if this goes better in the Shark Pool or FFA. Could also spark some posts here about some of the more creative last-place punishments different leagues implement. ...

    *** Link to the Free For All is broken ***

    Would have posted this to the administration thread in the FFA, but I can't access it right now. Just got a new laptop today -- still Windows 10, still Google Chrome (though certainly a more recent version). I can visit the Political forum but not the FFA. I can access threads in the FFA...

    Do you know what the slang adjective “ratchet” means?

    Just ran across the adjective “ratchet” for the first time watching TV tonight. I asked my daughter what it meant, and she looked at me like I didn’t know what “blue” or “tall” meant :shrug: This word can’t be common knowledge for late middle-agers, can it?

    Detroit-area FBGs: the original Little Caesar's Pizza Treat location

    Asking about the original Little Caesar's Pizza Treat location in Garden City, MI that opened in 1959. On recent Little Caesars television commercials, they show a photo of the original store signage. I was intrigued by the "Chicken • Fish • Shrimp" on the sign. What kind of chicken, fish, and...

    BadKneesGuys -- torn meniscus vs. arthritis. Any way to tell? Does it matter?

    OK, so starting yesterday morning -- without any obvious trigger** -- my left knee turned stiff as a board and painful to try and bend. I can feel what I think is swelling inside the joint, but its not enough to be able to see any swelling externally. Something similar happened to me last fall...

    POLL: Without looking it up, do you know what "SXSW" means?

    This was a thing on another thread. Some people dropped "SXSW" casually into a discussion about something else. Other posters wondered what "SXSW" meant. This poll seeks to determine how common of knowledge "SXSW" actually is. I could have done multiple polls broken out by age groups, but...

    Recommend good dressy-ish shoe for walking on city streets (brick, rough concrete, etc.)

    TL;DR -- nice looking casual dressy shoes with bulletproof soles that I can wear for more than a year? Oh, and not break the bank? I park about a seven-minute walk from my office. The whole walk is either over uneven concrete or across a brick courtyard. I do that walk, both ways up to four...

    Chargers K Mike Badgley OUT today ...

    Was just doing the "due diligence" check of my lineups and saw that Badgley was ruled "out". Yeah, it's a kicker, but I didn't see a need to throw away points. So ... just a heads up to the Shark Pool.

    Alex Trebek reveals pancreatic cancer diagnosis

    Stage 4 pancreatic cancer :(   Didn't want to put this in the RIP thread. If I understand correctly, pancreatic cancer is one of the ones most difficult to treat.

    Old iPhone, old Windows laptop. Can file transfer be done?

    Got an iPhone 6 (these are from 2013?) with a load of pictures on it. Got a 2012-vintage Dell laptop running the ten-year-old OS Windows 7 Professional at work. In the recent past, with other Windows-running laptops (even older ones from, say, 2008-2010), I'd just plug in the iPhone via USB...

    Potential NFL competitive integrity issue brought to light in Rams @ Saints game

    (originally posted in the NFC Championship Game thread, slight edits herein) Yeah, I understand. It's fun to see a hated team and an arrogant coach get jobbed. Get what's coming to them. Wouldn't expect less from Vikings, Falcons, Eagles, Panthers fans, etc. You guys are the faithful...

    Billy Madison moment at my kids HS ...

    Pulled up to pick up my kid at her HS. Got the windows down, radio on. The DJ kicks off Motley Crue’s “Dr. Feelgood”. :bag: Busted! With “Dad music” :rolleyes: What happened? :sadbanana: 30 years ago, the high school brass gave us guff about playing Crue in the parking lot. Today...

    Can Uber/Lyft drivers pick up kids from school and be paid 'remotely'?

    My wife and I don't use Uber or Lyft, but might need a service to pick up one of our kids from school once a week. a) Can an Uber driver pick up minors? Or is it OK in some states, illegal in others? b) Can a parent pay an Uber driver remotely? Or would the kid have to possess the credit card...

    Looking to replace file server at work -- updated 2018 advice?

    We've got a 12-year-old Dell PowerEdge 2900 at our office, running Windows Server Standard operating system (Properties says '(c) 2007' ... it seems to be neither 2003 nor 2008 but something in between?). It's on Service Pack 2, which itself is probably ancient. Other high-level specs...
