If this guy is rich enough to hide his own buried treasure then why did he look so hard for the first buried treasure?


Still on the fence about completing my 1955 - 1959 Topps sets.

I'm about 50-75% complete on them with an average grade of 5-6. Have a bunch of dupes and some Bowmans and 52-54, 60 Topps as well.

I love those old artwork cards but damn, they're expensive. Still kicking myself for selling off half my collection for $4k 15 years ago when I was unemployed and desperate for cash. Dude that bought them made out like a bandit.

Comedy is also a form of escapism. It's where we go to forget our troubles and aggravations. People who hate their jobs, are sick of the news feeds they get and go home to a crappy marriage or whatever don't want another shite sandwich shoved down their throat - even if it's a clever, well made shite sandwich. They just want to laugh and forget all of that stuff, just for a moment.

They never call grappling or early contact on hail mary passes.

Except Auburn was already launching their last chance heave as refs blew the whistle which was way off. The extra .6 seconds was a gift


You don't know what would have happened if the refs didn't start blowing whistles as soon as that thing came off the backboard.

Why did Auburn get the ball after the previous heave off the intentional FT miss? I didn’t have the sound on


Refs blew the play dead because they thought the ball didn't hit the rim. So they determined it grazed the rim but now AU only has .6 seconds.

Not really blue bloods though Kirby has Georgia is on the cusp of joining the club.

There’s a rule in the books the refs could possibly invoke to award the points. A “palpably unfair” act.


Kind of like when the Alabama player came off the bench and tackled the Rice player in the Rose Bowl because "he had too much Bama in him". :lol:


And a salisbury steak is not a real steak, but rather a meatloaf patty formed into the shape of a steak. And so on and so on...


I know very little of the O+G industry but a while back I took a vacation to Aruba and there was a huge refinery on the island. Someone told me that's where the Venezuelan crude used to go (right off their shore) but now it was mostly shut down and not operating.

There's no right or wrong decision there. If you take the easy three you're criticized for being too conservative and playing not to lose in what is a de facto playoff game. If you go for it and fail, you're criticized for not taking sure points in an old fashioned smash mouth low scoring game.

My only issue was the play they ran against Baltimore's defensive alignment. That play was not going to work unless the Ravens edge containment had a complete derp. They should have called a timeout and reset or Rodgers should have audibled into a pass.

You gotta think most "beating a team twice" scenarios involve a conference rivalry which adds to the difficulty. Indiana and Oregon have virtually no competitive history between them.




They had a reputation for running up the score instead of taking their foot off the gas in games that were over. Snyder also recruited a lot of JUCO guys and HS kids that were grade or character risks. I get it they had to do some of that stuff to make the leap they did but it put a damper on a lot of the praise they otherwise would have received.

Also, IIRC, during the same time when Snyder turned Kansas St into a high ranked team, Gary Barnett won back to back Big 10 titles at Northwestern. Northwestern was every bit as hapless as Kansas St, probably even worse by recent standards. So Northwestern stole some of their thunder because everybody was talking about the nerds going to the Rose Bowl instead of Snyder's all-JUCO team.

I think there was a thread here last year about some truck driver who confessed to murdering a woman 20 years ago. He waited until both his parents died then walked into a police station and confessed. Said he waited until his parents died because he didn't want to put them through that. Better late than never I suppose.

He doesn't strike me as a long game kind of guy.

More like he was walking out of the bar at 2:00 am with a 170 lb skank and happened to notice a cute drunk girl stumbling down the sidewalk.

Sometimes you need to shop around for a new policy. Even if it is the same carrier, same type, same deductible, etc. They will have similar plans with crazy price differences. Maybe it's like the cable companies and they just think a lot of people will just roll over and pay the higher rates without shopping the market due to laziness/apathy.

If this is a marketplace plan on the exchange, you have to switch by Jan. 15 which is when open enrollment ends.

There's also some political fighting right now in Congress over extending the subsidies which I think partially expire this month. Things could get messy.

That was a very physically and emotionally taxing game. Ole Miss was worn out whereas Miami will be a lot fresher.

You mean the guy who LOST to this same Georgia team by two scores a few months ago?

If I bought an expensive watch I would probably lose it within a month. I swear I could lose my arse with a bell attached to it.
