And I've been avoiding this thread because I didn't want to read heartbreaking stories.

Keep. You took on all the risk by taking your house off the market, trusting that they could really buy it. The fact that your house resold quickly should be irrelevant. And it's not just four days after you relisted - it's all the time between accepting their offer and your getting a new one. That...

The Tim Tebow Era in NY . About Damned time. But is the Tebow era in the NFL over? Probably, right? So that means the Jets are stuck with the cap hit? WTF were they thinking signing him? I still say this was all on Woody Johnson, since the coaches never even put plays in place for him. Whatever,at ...

Oh, Fuck! Rass is drinking with Howard! I knew that bourbon ice cream was going to set the wheels in motion.

Great feeling to come home and check the scores and see Spurs drop two points against lowly Wigan. Then mixed emotions when I saw that Spurs leveled in the 89th minute on an own goal. speaking of mixed emotions, should be an interesting scene at the Emirates tomorrow with RvP making his return to an...

Moving Pictures was released in 81, and Nightfly was released in 82. I bought a shitton of CDs in 83. Even took a job in the record store just for the discount. ETA: '82 sounds about right for DVDs being available. I know it was 82/83 when I bought them because I was a freshman in HS and that's whe...

Oh, Jets. You're so awesome. The Lions front office sucks...but it could be worse. Is Geno Smith that bad? Especially as a second round pick when so many supposed experts have him going in the first. Hell, looking at NFL.com's mock drafts. Mayock has him going at #6! I only saw highlights of him in...

Four Raiders #1 picks in the last ten years and the guy who went next... 2010: Rolando McLain (CJ Spiller) 2007: Jamarcus Russell (Calvin Johnson) 2005: Fabian Washington (Aaron Rodgers) 2004: Robert Gallery (Larry Fitzgerald) That could have been a solid core... Wasn't Jamarcus trying to make a co...

So, I know this is very late, but... What the fuck was Bloomberg doing calling a press conference to announce that Suspect #2 said he and his brother *might* have been heading to Times Square to blow things up? What was that? Seriously. And why is this leading newscasts at all. I generally do not s...

So only one QB drafted and no RBs drafted in the first round. That has to be unprecedented, right? And only 2 or 3 WRs, 1 TE? Lots of Linemen this year.

The Sybian

But the Jets drafted a hell of a player The DT? He looks really small for a DT. I look at him and think Vernon Ghoulston. I am just jaded and scared off of small D-lineman after that debacle. This offseason is a nightmare for the Jets. They lost half their starters and picked up pretty much nothing...

Is This Milliner guy special? I'm sure the Jets fans booed the pick regardless. They just took Sheldon RIchardson. All the Jets fans looked around puzzled. What does that say? Same. Old. Jets. So basically the Jets have a mediocre, shaky QB with one receiver, no TE and RBs. Seriously, no RBs capabl...

The Sybian

So I decided to look at the draft board and was quickly reminded that I don't know who a single player is, so it means absolutely nothing to me. Kind of sucks, because i used to love the draft, and at least heard of all of the first rounders. I see the Jets picked up a Corner, which is a bit disappo...

15 year old Canadian hockey star, Connor McDavid is playing in the IIHF World U18 Tournament in Russia. He leads all scorers with 8 Goals and 14 Points in just 5 games so far.

Chase Freedom is supposed to have the best rewards. The APR isn't the best, but I always pay in full, so it isn't an issue. I don't think the interest is all that bad anyways.

With the Jets now having two low picks in the first round, is there a chance they don't end up with Teo now? It is inevitable now, right?

The Sybian

Maybe it's because I live in the city of the team with the #1 pick, but I have horrible draft fatigue. Playing outside with the dog sounds more appealing than watching it tonight. But on a contradictory note, if Jason Cole's tweet that the 49ers are going to move up to get Sheldon Richardson is tru...

The hijacked car was a damaged Honda? Really? Pfffft. These guys are amateurs compared to my wife. That's not even close to how you fuck up a Honda. No, the car with the Coexist sticker was a Honda (actually a Mazda), the hijacked car was a Mercedes SUV, but they look the same. Why ruin a hilarious...

suarez. player of the year? he'll lose that award by the skin of his teeth. Suarez gets a 10 game ban for the (over)bite on Ivanovic. Glad the FA handled it appropriately. OTOH, disappointed they handed Giroud a 3 match ban for a questionable red. I don't blame the ref for showing red during the ma...

Can't believe we don't have a thread for this yet. Rumors are flying around everywhere. Should be some deals happening pretty soon. A couple of reports have the Chiefs trying to move Branden Alpert and if they can't, they'll take Eric Fisher with the first overall pick. Who are the Jets going to wa...

I loved the old Swampcast conversations. Johnnie, Bronto and everyone who joined in really did a great job. But the thought of the free form blank slate submissions with a host is incredibly intriguing. I'd love to see what people throw out there. Short form poetry reading? Why not? Discussion of Na...

Not a free agent, but Revis is undergoing a physical with the Bucs and PFT says there is framework for a trade. For the 13th pick this year and a conditional 4th rounder next year. Revis signs a 6 yr/96MM deal. Oddity about it: no guaranteed money. Interesting. I, for one, am looking forward to a b...

I had a Racer 5 last night and liked it. I prefer the Dogfish Head 60 though. The guy at the store was talking about West Coast vs. East Coast style IPA. Can anyone here educate me on the difference? I wish I could speak intelligently enough about early hip-hop rap to make a clever analogy joke here.
