  2. Roger Goodell has carefully mulled this over, because he wants to make it right. You have been suspended 5 games because, in your words: “I punched Mara in his fat, ugly face. ”
  3. Weight...211 is small, especially for a DE. I guess he can bulk up or, like you said, play safety. Fletch was a bowling ball not a slim 6'1" 211 lbs.
  4. I saw this in the Richmond paper today. They had him listed at 6'1" & 211 lbs. It said VT moved him from LB to DE. Awfully small for an LB or DE.
  5. My wife says I'm cheap, I prefer frugal. I've owned 2 cars since 1981 (she has her own car): an '81 Datsun 310 that I donated to the Richmond Fire Department in 1994 & a 1990 535 BMW I bought in '94 that I still drive today. It's on it's last legs at ~155k. Most, if not all of the plastic clips that hold just about everything in the car are breaking every day. AC just went out yesterday (had it charged ~3 years ago). I only trust rolling down 2 windows because the other 2 are near death - I've had the other 2 replaced at ~$550/door. It sucks because the engine & tran still purr like a lion. No problems cruising on I95 at 85mph. My son just drove it 500 miles to/from the beach 2 weeks ago. But, this could be the final nail in the coffin. I'll take to my mechanic who has worked on it since I bought it to see what he says. Wife says get something new(er), but I need to see what it will be to get the AC fixed. Maybe another charge to hold me until 2016. The thought of a monthly car payment brings tears to my eyes.
  6. Apparently, Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal’s #AskBobby Hashtag Was A Complete Trainwreck It was meant to be a harmless little Q&A on Twitter, but like every other social media experiment in the past, it quickly flew off the rails. Can anyone pet a dinosaur or just Jesus, @BobbyJindal? #AskBobby if global warming is a hoax why do i look like this? #AskBobby #askbobby who is the white man you had pose for you in your portrait?
  7. Apparently, Landon Donavan is still PO'd he didn't get picked for the 2014 World Cup Team. Some Pwnage here (note: Lexi Lalas picked the Germans to beat the US women in the semis the other night): Follow Landon DonovanVerified account‏@landondonovan Love the enthusiasm and veteran presence of @AbbyWambach despite not playing much. That kind of leadership is priceless during a WC Alexi Lalas ✔@AlexiLalas Agreed. @J_Klinsmann should have taken @AbbyWambach. https://twitter.com/landondonovan/status/616049990335500288 … Landon Donovan ✔@landondonovan Haha. Still rooting for Germany? https://twitter.com/AlexiLalas/status/616059423581081600 … 9:43 PM - 30 Jun 2015
  8. I do the same on my 401k. But I opened a Roth IRA last year for this reason: I can pump money into it for the next 5 years. So any interest, gains, or losses for the next 5 years will occur tax free. Then I can take it out without any tax hit. And I can roll my 401k money into it when I quit/get fired/laid off from my current job (yeah, I know taxes would have to be paid on that money to do that). But every penny gain in that account is free of tax and it's tax free when I withdraw it. Last but not least, I read somewhere the greatest gift to your heirs is to have a bag full of money in a Roth IRA to leave to them. It's already been taxed so they can withdraw it free of taxes... Over the next 6-7 years my plan is to move all my money from my IRA to my Roth IRA, paying the taxes along the way but earning money on it tax free. Same thing for my wife's IRA & Roth.
  9. Get recommendations from family, friends, neighbors. Then visit, in person, the work they've done.
  10. Ok experts...my son has a 2005 350Z with about 85k miles. He said his clutch pedal is sticking after he pushes it in & then it clunks out after a second. Any ideas on what it could be? Cost to repair?
  11. "Bank of Canada is pleading with Star Trek fans to stop “Spocking” its five dollar bills. Since Leonard Nimoy’s death, Canadian folks have been “Spocking” the hell out of the five dollar bill that features a portrait of Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wilfrid now sports, on certain bills at least, pointy ears, the signature Vulcan haircut and eyebrows and Spock’s mantra “Live long and prosper.” http://dangerousminds.net/comments/bank_of_canada_urges_star_trek_fans_to_stop_spocking_their_fivers
  12. Note to self: Respect the power tool. Think it through before proceeding. Especially when tired or in a hurry. Buddy of mine was cutting trees down on his lot. After about 8 hours he's tired but had one more cut in him. Ripped through a limb, chain saw fell towards this thigh, but only cut his blue jeans before he gained control of the saw. He wore those same jeans every time after that whenever he did any kind of DIY job to remind him of how stupid & lucky he was.
  13. I know this is the Terps thread, but VCU also advanced to the Super Regionals where they will play Miami. VCU is the only 4 seed to advance.
  14. Hahahaha....The Onion strikes again "PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner renewed his criticism of the United States, where he faces corruption charges, on Sunday by releasing a pair of videotaped comments — one of them based on a story by satirical website The Onion.... ...In an eight-minute Facebook video, which was quickly deleted after numerous news reports picked up on the gaffe, Warner held up a printout of a fictitious story from The Onion bearing the headline: "FIFA Frantically Announces 2015 Summer World Cup In United States." The fake story was published on Wednesday, hours after Warner was indicted in the U.S. and arrested and briefly jailed in Trinidad. Warner asked why the story was "two days before the FIFA election" when Sepp Blatter was re-elected as president. Warner asked "if FIFA is so bad why is it the U.S. wants ... the World Cup?" Additionally, Warner said that FIFA is "the very same organization they (the U.S.) are accusing of being corrupt. That has to be double standards." http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2015/06/01/indicted-ex-fifa-executive-cites-onion-article-in-rant-slamming-us/
  15. Well, everyone can toss in the towel if they want. I'm hoping to see the team make this the rallying cry for the rest of the season. Unrealistic? Yeah, maybe. But I won't toss in the towel. From the late, great John Belushi: "And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! What the **** happened to the Wizards fans I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you without Wall, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Atlanta, they're a dead team! Cleveleand, dead! Golden State -"
  16. Touche...And the original comment coming from a never-done-anything-coach Seth G who was fired from that basketball mecca Va Tech. Dude needs to STFU.
  17. You were soooo setup for a Mom joke here....but..but....I can't....
  18. You haven't seen this? This made me cry...again.
  19. Rare footage of Robin Williams completely abusing a director. Classic!
  20. Potential #1 self-pwnage of all time...whatever happened to that Darwin Awards thread? This may rank as one of the deadlier selfies-that-kill stories: The photos likely contributed to not one person's death, but two. The NTSB report on a May 31 plane crash in Watkins, Colo., cites recordings from a GoPro camera found at the scene. They show pilot Amritpal Singh, 29, and his passenger using their cellphones to take selfies. The report indicates that the phones' flashes disoriented Singh (it was sometime after 12:30am); he then lost control of the plane, reports KUSA-TV. A portion of the report via the Denver Post: "Post-accident examination of the airplane did not reveal any pre-impact anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. Based on the wreckage distribution ... and the degraded visual reference conditions, it is likely that the pilot experienced spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane." CBS Denver notes the selfies were taken at low altitudes, and speaks with an aviation security expert who knew Singh. Jeff Price says that a camera flash can be particularly problematic at those altitudes. He recounts being in the ****pit once when a flash went off; it was as jarring as lightning, he says. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/02/03/selfies-likely-cause-deadly-plane-crash/
  21. Arrested at 7AM?? Think he might have had a little buzz working...
  22. How are you able to upload these big pictures? Every time I use the "Choose files..." option (form the advanced reply screen) to add my photo they're much bigger then the 9.5KB restriction & they get rejected. btw...Nice steaks
  23. I don't understand why the Redskins didn't sign him off their practice squad. They were signing people off the street to play DL late in the season.
