GM's thread about nothing (32 Viewers)

Does anyone have any numbers on how effective Pittsburgh is against 4/5 WR's? I suspect they'll be seeing a lot of this...
They can be thrown on for sure...I think Brady shredded them this year. Have to look.Course, they also bring pressure like no other defense and with two concussions on the season, I wouldn't be surprised to see LeBeau bring the blitz early to try and disrupt Rodgers. Those linebackers are pretty scary.
He pretty much has to. If given time, Rodgers will pick them apart. The Steelers don't have enough good DBs to cover everyone for long.Rodgers doesn't play favorites. He'll throw it to whoever is open. And he has plenty of good options.
Makes you wonder how they ever lost a game with Rodgers.
:rolleyes:
Lots of bitterness hidden in that smilie.

:kicksrock: Dude had a like a 74 average rating against the Bears in their 3 games this year. He's not that good.
Bears did a good job against him. Especially in the playoffs. Rating was about 90 in both regular season games, but only 55 in the playoff game. He did have the rushing TD though.
Vikings would have beat the Pack if it weren't for a bad call on a Shiancoe TD. :lmao:

Ok. Packers did lose to the effin Redskins. :lmao: I thought this stat was pretty cool - Packers have yet to trail by more than 7 at any point this season.

That's only happened three times ('42 Redskins, '48 Bears, '62 Lions).

I have a mid-season prop bet for Pit to win, I think I bet 85 to win 1100 or so.I think they can do it.Rogers scares the bephukinjeebus out of me, so I doubt I put any more on them.

Good lord, this is a hedge if I've ever seen one.Put some on the Packers moneyline to guarantee you don't lose (but I'd only do enough to cover your original $85, because the Steelers are going to win.)

watch.bnn.ca has lots of videos of the news from today. There's even a segment on commodities, which is probably what GM wants.
Well, was hoping to get the live feed from BNN featuring a segment with the CEO of NEO Materials (Sacamano, St. Louis Bob - HI)....I am thinking it will be available shortly as there is a slight delay. I can't find the live feed without subscribing, but I suck at the innernets.

Last night I dreamt my ex-girlfriend's dog bit my current girlfriend(?). What does this mean? :unsure:

Just a small scratch on the shin from a fluffy little dog if that matters.
I immediately thought your dream meant you wanted to have a 3-some and have the dog video tape it. However, after some research, I may be wrong. Though this doesn't exactly describe your dream sequence, it's more about what the "dog" symbolizes in dreams. Dog

To see a dog in your dream, symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream, indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it indicates some inner conflict within yourself. It may also indicate betrayal and untrustworthiness. If the dog is dead or dying, then it means a loss of a good friend or a deterioration of your instincts.

To dream that a dog bites you on the leg, suggests that you have lost your ability to balance aspects of your life. You may be hesitant in approaching a new situation or have no desire to move forward with your goals. Alternatively, it symbolizes disloyalty.

To see a happily barking dog in your dream, symbolizes pleasures and social activity. You are being accepted into some circle. If the dog is barking ferociously, then it represents your habit of making demands on people and controlling situations around you. Are you "barking" too many orders? Alternatively, it could also indicate unfriendly companions.

To dream that you are buying a dog, indicates your tendency to buy your friends or buy compliments and favors. Alternatively, it suggest a need for you to find companionship. If you are being guided by a dog, then it suggests that you are having difficulties in navigating out of a situation or problem.

To dream that you give or send your dog away, indicates that the decisions and choices you are making now may be misinterpreted as disloyalty. You have to do what is right for you and not worry about what others think of the decision. Alternatively, it signifies rejection of friendship.

To dream that you are dressing up your dog, signifies your attempts to cover up your own character flaws and habits.

To see a black colored dog in your dream, symbolizes the shadow aspect of a friend. The dark side of someone close to you is being revealed and you are able to see through to their true intentions.

Also consider the notions associated with the word dog, such as loyalty ("man's best friend") and to be "treated like a dog".
I've been having a lot of dreams about having sex with women that aren't my wife lately. This is unusual. Please give me your analysis Dr. Freud. :popcorn: TIA,

Trent

I had to run downtown today early this afternoon and hadn't eaten lunch so I stopped at one of my favorite sandwichplaces on The Hill for a little something to take back to the office. I grabbed a bag od Red Hot Chiplets and approached the counter to order myself a nice sandwich. I was going to order a 6" sandwich but I was really hungry so I went with a 9" hot roast beef with provel and gravy. Man eating 9" looked pretty intimidating but I gave it my best shot. I ended up getting it down but I had gravy all over my shirt when I was finished.

 
My ex-wife is a ####### idiot. :unsure:
Did she mail Stu Jr. to Cairo?
No, but she mailed a very incorrect tax return to the IRS.She's not supposed to claim him as a dependent, take the child credit, or claim child care expenses. Somehow she managed to do all three without realizing she was doing anything wrong. I figured this out when my e-file was rejected due to his SS # already showing up on a previous return. :popcorn:So... anybody know how she goes about getting her return corrected?

no hedge for me. If I were going to, I would have done it last week when my CHi to win the NFC wager was still living.

First off Trent, please lay down on my couch. That's a lovely cat shirt you're wearing.About these dreams you're having. The "sex" symbolizes the Super Bowl. Back in 2000 you won the Super Bowl and most people feel that you won it due to your team's defense and strong run game. Some people feel your team won that Super Bowl in spite of you. In this dream you're having, your wife symbolizes that defense and strong run game. This time of year, there is always a lot of debate about who the greatest QB's are of all time. People will say that someone like Brady or Montana are the best because they won multiple Super Bowls. The counter arguement to that theory is always "well Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, does that mean he's better than Dan Marino"? And I know when you hear that, it hurts you in that place right behind the beautiful cat on your shirt (your heart). It's always "Trent Dilfer" that gets referenced, not Jim McMahon, not Doug Williams. It's as if winning the SuperBowl isn't a big accomplishment for a QB because "even Trent Dilfer won one". That's gotta sting. Now back to the dream. In the dreams you're having sex (winning the SuperBowl) with other women. The "other women" symbolize other teams that aren't stacked with a great defense and a strong running game which is what your wife symbolizes. (notice I used the word "stacked" in that description :thumbup: ) You having sex with strange women is your way of showing the world that Trent Dilfer is not a one trick pony. You have nothing to be ashamed of. These dreams are not unusual and in fact it should be common for you to be having these dreams around this time of year (Super Bowl week) Don't let it get to you. You can't change the way other people think, you can only change the way YOU think. Michael Jackson didn't sing about changing other people, he sang about changing "The Man in The Mirror". Listen to Michael Jackson. Be Michael Jackson. You have alot going for you: you're on SportsCenter, you're bald, you got that sweet cat shirt..... I could go on, but I can't really think of anything else. Now before you get off the couch, I want you to take a deep breath and give yourself a pat on the back. Then put your pants back on and go home to your beautiful wife, you know, the one with the stacked defense and supple running game, and you go for the endzone!!! Good luck!

Those linebackers are pretty scary.
Football Outsiders Super Bowl Preview (WARNING: Sloan Conference-level statistical analysis contained within)In the GB-PIT game last season, LeBeau called the Fire X Blitz (both ILBs blitzing out of a 3-4 front) several times in the first quarter to try to rattle Rodgers and throw off protection schemes geared to stop OLB zone blitzes. It worked early. (It's also the same blitz PIT called on James Harrison's TAINT in the Super Bowl two years ago.)

When FO guru Aaron Schatz was on Simmons this week, the matchup he liked for Green Bay was Driver against McFadden. McFadden plays off the line too much, and Driver should be able to get open underneath him before the blitz gets to Rodgers.

 
umm anybody see "Jeopardy" tonight?

Pretty easy question, too: Of the 20 Presidents who were elected to a second term, two of the three who didn't finish their second term.
Wow.Lincoln, Nixon, and did they count FDR?

FDR didn't finish his second term. McKinley is the third one.Crap. Forgot about McKinley being elected twice.

Just poured my first Walgreen's brand beer. I'm really looking forward to it because it's ON SALE from $2.99/six pack to $2.50/six pack until Saturday. If this stuff is any good, I'm going back for a couple cases. Which will cost me TWENTY DOLLARS.

Drinking the first one out of a frozen mug. I know this hides the natural flavor of the beer, but that's what I'm looking for here.

Pours a very thin straw color with one finger of head that evaporates quickly. Thin layer of white foam remains on top.

Nose is the corny adjunct smell common in "value brand" beer. I'm not getting much else out of it.

Low bodied with medium carbonation. I'm a little surprised that it isn't more carbonated, so I'm going to count that as a plus.

Flavor is pretty much nonexistent. Mouthfeel is watery with a little of the corn flavor. I'm probably going to pour the next one in a standard pint glass, but I'm not expecting much more out of it. The can says it's made with the "choicest hops". If it wasn't on the ingredient list, I'd have a hard time believing that it had any hops at all.

This beer definitely has drinkability going for it. The lack of flavor plus moderate carbonation means it goes down quickly.

All in all, not an awful experience. Definitely would drink again.

Since the vast majority of this blog’s readers are beer geeks, I can’t recommend Big Flats lager, the new-ish Walgreens house brand by Brewmaster’s Choice of Rochester, NY (North American Breweries AKA the Genesee brewery). If you’re looking for a adjunct (meaning brewed with fermentables such as corn and/or rice instead of being all-malt) lager, a beer lover can do a lot better.That said, Big Flats is probably the best $2.99 a six-pack lager you’ll be able to find.I’ll dispense with the formal tasting notes and just list some impressions.There was a small amount of citrus hop notes in the beer’s aroma, which I thought was surprising. Not surprising were notes of cracked corn in the aroma. The beer poured a very pale yellow (think SRM of 1-ish) with a tall white head.The lager’s flavor was very, very light with some malt flavors that were able to be discerned through dominant notes of cracked corn. There were some overt hints of melon – almost a light watermelon – that showed at mid tongue. Hop flavor was almost non-existent.Marginally acceptable was the carbonation level of Big Flats. It was very prickly on the tongue and seemed a tad overdone.Overall, this beer is drinkable, especially at colder temperatures, and might even be decent after a lawn mowing session. However, Big Flats will never be mistaken for some of the better adjunct lagers that are out there.But, for $2.99, what do you expect?
