It only took 10+ years, but CBS finally figured out how to interrupt the local broadcast with a scrolling weather warning without reverting the picture to grainy standard definition

Another #firstworldproblem solved!

Do you get the annoying siren sound and the fake female computer voice telling you "IT'S GONNA RAIN!!!!!!" every thirty seconds? loving weather.
The siren probably broke since it has been raining 5 straight days with 3 more on deck. I think we will have a foot of rain in 7 days when it is all over.

I want a Cook Out in west Tennessee so bad
I can walk to one in under 10 minutes or drive to it without even hitting a stop light.

I'm not one for fast food but I've yet to find a decent breakfast fast food.
If they have a Hardees where you live go there. Jerry Richardson deserves to own the Panthers based on those biscuits alone.

I got a 12 pack in my fridge :) Call me a proletariat all you want, I like it.

WTF are these announcers talking about? Don't let it get to third down because then Flacco will throw? If they don't convert he will throw it anyway you dumbski

More like 2 ever. I can't even think of one off the top of my head.

I tired to google to check. There are slideshows all over the place for "worst thursday night football games" but I did not see a single one for good ones. I guess Bleacher Report can't make a 25 page slideshow when there is only 3 total examples.

Jerome Bettis is one of the best examples ever of "play for popular team/be friendly to the media" getting you more respect than you deserve.

Some dumbass playcalls on both sides. That Ravens touchdown was a bad call that worked out and that Brown play just now....good job boys

I could have advanced the ball 8 yards off that punt. Then I would fumble as soon as someone touched me, but I can run forward first.

There's a gas station near work I stop at sometimes and there are two guys who are always there (at different times) buying 15 lottery tickets at a time and scratching them off at the counter
There is a guy who just looks like a degenerate gambler I almost always see at the store near me. Every time he is sitting in his busted Crown Vic scratching a ticket or in the store buying one. I go there three times a week and he is there at least once.

Being a degenerate craps player in AC or Vegas is one thing, but a degenerate scratch lotto ticket in a random city is weak

Like buying sports tickets and then just sleeping through the game and checking the score on your phone after you wake up

This story from the Grantland article about sports score phone lines is awesome

quote:

La Greca recalls getting a call one afternoon from a man claiming to be in a limo heading toward Atlantic City. He stayed on the phone for three hours while La Greca gave him the blow-by-blow of an entire Cubs-Astros game. La Greca remembers wondering, How much does he have on this game that he’s spending three hours on the phone at 99 cents a minute?


No crutches on the sidelines....god I hate the Steelers :rolleyes:

Here is the best bet we ever did. You know how they let autistic kids play at halftime of basketball games sometimes. We bet on the game and we're up cheering and screaming the entire time, sweating the poo poo out of it. The team I backed had this girl who was like Moses Malone in her prime down low, she killed his team. Probably had 6 points and 10 boards in 10 minutes.

The looks we go, oh my god, if hell exists we are heading straight there for this alone. It was worth it though, I never had so much fun for a halftime show. I highly recommend doing it next time you have a halftime show like this.

Wanna hang out with your friend.

Do you actually watch the special Olympics and bet on it now?
No, only when it is the halftime show at a game we are at. Although if we stumbled on a special olympics game on TV we'd probably bet on it.

If you do it you gotta be way into it though. Just pray no coworkers see you hah.


I love when announcers say a QB has to get rid of it even when the defender has a 6 lane highway straight to him and the QB has like .33 seconds to do something.
