    KC is the most underwhelming 8-0 team that I have ever seen.... I'll admit That I basically was ready to turn the game off after the first quarter. Glad I left it on.

    Personally, I went with the osmosis (go to class) and study with the kid who the best notes the night before to pull all of the pieces together.

    And get off my lawn too! But seriously what do you need to know today? Your phone tells you everything. I do think that the concept of knowledge is changing, knowledge used to be how much can you retain and how do you relate what you already know to a new subject. Now it's a series of Alice in wonderland little doors and nooks, that if you know just enough to find the door what lies on the other side is availible to you.

    This isn't exactly on topic with peak education but it seems to be the best fit. The premise is that even though US schools are at or below average when taken as a whole against world, when looked at on the state by state level for math and science testing we have really good state systems and really really bad state systems and not much in between. What I found interesting is the exclusion list on the website. Here is the article: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/politics/2013/10/american-education-isnt-mediocre-its-deeply-unequal/7354/ And here is the website with the study: https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/studies/naep_timss/

    Not the only one. The color commentator was horrible. As much as I b!tch about Rich Gannon broadcasts, these last two weeks have been horrible. First the NFL network and then FOX. I wish FOX would spend more for broadcasters and less on dancing robots....

    It wasn't Tom Brady, it was the QB on the team that was competent enough to score some points, get rid of the ball quickly behind an OK line and manage to win some games on the back of the defense.

    Hmmm, you maybe onto something there HTS? Hoyer's brain into Weeden's body...

    I like that tie....

    After sleeping on it, Weedens performance is acceptable for a few games with this defense. He threw no picks and had a few nice long balls. He has no touch on the short passes. Oddly enough Gordon screwed up the screen, which was the best screen by weeden...ever... Of course the defense needs to play clean and mean. The defensive pass interference calls set up 2 of their TD and what appears to be a rookie mistake by Mingo set up spill mans TD run. Exciting times to be in every game. 2 victory kneels in a row. God speed Brian Hoyer, get well soon.

    Obviously Weeden hasn't been studying tape on Hoyer. If you hold onto the ball for 5 secs you are getting sacked.

    Dumb run by Hoyer, cheap shot by the LB.

    ^^ That's a pretty sad picture. Chin up Kip!

    AC is only 27??? What is the coaching worth to Ubaldo? If I was another team I would be leary of signing him, 2 great half seasons 3 years apart wouldn't really give me a warm and fuzzy that good Ubaldo is going to show up for me next March. Now if he resigns with the Indians for a short term contract and has another good season, that's worth $$$$ because it means he is "fixed". Edit: I guess I am starting the "Please Stay Ubaldo!" campaign...

    And she hates it, it's slowed her phone down and you can't downgrade. I will not be upgrading my iphone 4, I've heard it's even worse on the 4's.

    Can't say that I am that upset this morning. They simply got outplayed last night. We were hitting but TB made the stops when they needed to. This team still needs a few more consistent offensive pieces to be a contender. It was a nice run and a nice change to hit 90 wins. I will say most of the top of the order looked like they were trying to hard last night. Cobb reminds me of a kid that I wrestled with in high school, he looked like a schlubb but beat everybody on technique (and luck).

    Bad time to start playing tight....

    ^^Ugh, you just brought up the memories of my contacts randomly being deleted and the only fix was to upgrade to IOS 6....
  23. CBC replied to a post in a topic in Sports Talk
    Well that would be the obvious move...
  24. CBC replied to a post in a topic in Urbanbar
    Wait IOS 7 is just like the old Palm Pre OS. my wife just upgrade her 4S, and I was shocked when I played with it and its just like the old Palm OS on how it handles Apps.

    Dan Gilbert just loss a lot of that goodwill that's made him the "best" owner today by the tribe making the playoffs and Browns being a competent team with a great defense.... Your move, Mr. Gilbert, your move....
