I'm originally from Maryland and used to live very close to where many of the shootings happened. I have numerous family friends who lived in the same area while it all went down and the stories they told me were just crazy. Such as having to run inside their children's school to pick them up, and running with their heads down in a zig zag pattern back to their car because no one knew where or when the next shooting would happen. The thing about it that hits home the most for me, and that I find to be most disturbing, was that these family friends weren't just your average parents with normal jobs, but they were seasoned, tenured, and fairly high ranking employees of NSA at the time, and they were always on alert and seemed to have no idea about who the shooters were or where the next attacks might occur. I grew up with these people, I even called them my uncles even though they weren't blood related, and these guys were never scared about anything EXCEPT the DC snipers. These guys served in the military through the Cold War and still mentioned they weren't as worried during that period as they were about the snipers. To me, that's some scary shite.

I am a bartender at a place on the northshore with the most extensive bourbon selection you'll find north of the lake, and my boss (who is a hardcore bourbon fanatic) will recommend Elijah Craig 12 year to everyone as the best bang for your buck, or "beginner" bourbon for those with less experience, and I must say that I completely agree. Its very hard to beat based on the quality and taste you get for the price you pay. Of course the 18 year is going to be "better", but for a 12 year aged bourbon, it's very, very hard to beat, especially for a sub $30 bottle at retail price... I'd recommend the Elijah Craig barrel proof if you're a fan of the stronger, bolder varieties.

Browns run more often, but Miller is a viable receiving option for Miami.
Here's the stats...
Tate - 53 attempts 253 yards 2 TD, 1 rec for -2 yards and 0 rec TD on 2 targets.
Miller - 63 attempts 330 yards 3 TD, 15 rec for 93 yards and 1 rec TD on 20 targets.

This all comes down to who you think will stay healthy, and as a Ben Tate owner in 2 leagues, I'd rather have Miller.

Lamar Miller, no question. He has no competition for touches whereas Tate splits with Crowell.

.25 PPR WR/Flex Help

Pick 2. One will be my WR3, the other Flex

Jeremy Maclin vs. JAX
Reggie Wayne @ Den
Ben Tate @ PIT

I've gone back and forth between every combo all week and I can't make a final decision. I'm sure most would say Maclin and Wayne, but I'm liking what I'm hearing about Tate being a 3-down back and getting those goal line touches vs a Pit D that can be run on. I've looked over about 12-15 projection sites and Maclin/Wayne are ranked extremely close on every one, with Tate being ranked higher on some, and lower on others. FWIW, opponent is starting Foles
