I'm thinking of making some bids on houses at an upcoming sheriff sale (Lancaster County, PA). Doing my due diligence now on two properties. Auctions begin 3/27. School me.

I read that Princeton professor and mathematician John Conway died last week (link) and thought the best way to honor him would be to get FBGs talking math. He was kind of like a Lebron of mathematicians, a man among boys. You're probably familiar with graph paper.  If not, this image may...

Is it better to get nine yards, leaving your team with 2nd and 1? Or would you prefer to get ten yards and a fresh set of downs?

As I mentioned in the "silver lining" thread, I think it is helpful for people who ordinarily oppose Trump to identify his successes/good moves. That is a fine thread. The flip-side, of course, is for Trump supporters to identify moves that they feel were not done well by our President. I know...

I intended to wait until the end of Shuke's thousand plus countdown, but with Phish's summer tour kicking off in St Louis this week, the time felt right: Phish wrote and play an inordinate number of songs that refer to organic things (not counting people) either in their song titles or lyrics. I...

I recently posted that I thought a very small percentage of folks have read a big chunk of the Mueller report. I've read most of it. How about you?

In this thread, you summarize the type of music you like and our Genesis experts will match you with a song from their catalog. Then we will berate you for not appreciating the band more. Fun for everyone!

Been meaning to start this topic for a while. I’ve been trading options for about a year—learned a lot but a long way to go. I’ll start where most options traders start, writing covered calls, and then see if this thread gets any traction. This is not meant to be Options 101 as that can be found...

Seems to me that only under the rarest of circumstances should a returner bring a kick out of the end zone now that the 25-yard line is the touchback spot. Is this not obvious, and probably confirmed with a little expected value argument? The Hou-NE game swung mightily on a fumble from a...

Filed 12 weeks ago, old-school paper and pencil tax return. I don't usually get much of a refund but special circumstances this year changed that. Waiting on over 9K. I checked their "Where's my refund?" on their web site but it gives me nothing. Phone calls run me around automated rings...

most of the experts i read predict an impending inflationary period that must follow our massive spending and printing of money. it could be 5 years, maybe 20. the question is: if we know it's coming, what are some of the better plays to hedge against it? gold, foreign currencies...

please report to mini-camp, Wulf.

i only saw a handful of plays of the senior bowl but the strength and speed of da'rel scott out of maryland impressed me. i see that he split time in his senior year and had injury issues in his junior year. but something about the way he ran makes me feel his 7th round projected draft status is...

got to thinking just WHY i have grown to detest the league: 1) uneven division sizes--how does MLB justify divisions of sizes 4 and 6 with the rest at 5? 2) the DH. pick a rule and stick with it already. 3) Bud Selig, Commissioner AND Owner. Forget all of the dumb things Selig has done or...

the rookie/free agent draft is underway and the prior owner is nowhere to be found. the available roster is below and you'd be picking 6th in the draft. only active owners who are willing to stick with a dynasty league for several years, please. PM if interested. i'd be glad to provide more...

i'm assuming there are at least some FBGs out there from arizona. i was surprised that the cards didn't draft a replacement for edge. what can you tell me about their 5th rounder, tim hightower? is there a RB on the roster that stands to get the carries when edge falls off? seems to me that russ...

the last team to ride a dominating defense to the super bowl were the Ravens almost a decade ago. watching these playoff games, i can't help but think that defense has taken a massive back seat to offense, especially the passing game. in my opinion, the NFL has gone too far with the rules...

check out the top 4 turnover differentials in each conference: SD +24, Indy +18, NE +16, Jax +9 TB +15, SEA +10, DAL +5, GB +4 pretty telling that the four best teams in turnover differential are the top teams in each conference. not earth-shattering info, i know, but i was surprised how...

local sports news in pittsburgh just a few minutes ago, take it for what it's worth. bruce arians said the steelers are considering playing FWP more on 3rd downs, putting him in motion more, and generally letting him play in space more. he mentioned that the short little flair pass that goes for...
