I was pissed off that you need NFL network to watch the game, and then I remembered who was playing. Meh.
Open thread: Wasn’t feeling well, so stayed home today. Instead of sleeping in all day, I went on a major provision run, came home, and cooked like crazy, filling many tupperwares. I never do that. Weird.

@raven: He’s a fabulous RB. I think he stepped out of bounds way back in that recent big run, though. Oh well, Lovie didn’t throw the flag…now it’s score.
Nobody should be able to use the name of a team that moves until the city that lost the team gets a new team. They would then be allowed to use the old name or pick a new name if they so chose. St Louis could be the Cardinals. Any Team LA gets could be the Rams. Balmer could be the Colts, but if they preferred to go with the Ravens, the name “Colts” would be available for anybody else.
In a different sport, Utah could never have been the Jazz.

@efgoldman: What’s even sadder is that the assignment says precisely what it is meant to achieve. The crazies in Augusta (it’s the county surrounding Staunton where the I-64 meets the I-81) somehow think writing the profession of faith will turn you into a rabid crazy jihadist. How insecure in your faith do you have to be to believe that?
They have pre-sold more than $100 million of tickets for the 4,000+ screens showing the flick. Disney got a heck of a payoff from their advertising and marketing.
The theater I’m thinking of is 5 years old and has upgraded to all digital, surround sound, the whole 9 yards. There is a much closer movie house but their seats, sound, and projection sucks little green yoda dicks.
Saw the 1977 original at a house in Westwood in LA the day after it opened. Had a chance to go to the premiere at the Mann’s Chinese and blew it off for reasons that seemed good at the time. O well. People who were there told me audience went bananas at the end, stayed to watch and cheer the ending credits.
Under that rule, the rightful owner of the NFL team name “Rams” would be Cleveland, not Los Angeles. The only NFL team in existence that traces its origins to Los Angeles is the San Diego Chargers, who began as the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960 and then moved only one year later to become the San Diego Chargers in 1961. On top of that, the rightful owner to the name “Cardinals” for an NFL city would actually be Chicago, not St. Louis.
The Los Angeles Rams NFL franchise was transplanted from Cleveland in 1946, and the St. Louis Cardinals NFL franchise was transplanted from Chicago in 1960.
