    You guys that play nothing but dogs.....how?

    Nothing is easy when handicapping games, but I'm really having a hard time figuring out how you guys that play nothing but dogs do it. I've really been trying to look at games from the angle of trying to find a reason to play the dog and if I can't find any reason to then I take a look at the...

    Happiest place on Earth, my ass.

    Or, maybe I'm just doing wrong but I remember taking the kids to Disney in Orlando 8 years ago and hating every minute of it. Long lines, bad food, stupidest people on the planet, transportation sucked between parks, etc... I hated it, but maybe it's just me and the kids want us to take them...

    You guys that are handy around the house and contractor types, fence question.

    I want to put a fence around the back yard and it's a job I can probably do, I've put up small sections of fence/post/gate before and think I can handle it. My question is about the gas and water lines. I called the number to have PA1Call come out and mark the lines like I am supposed to do...

    I don't like the price, but I love the play

    -177 is a lot in my world, but Chris Sale looks to be worth it today. Cleveland will be able to throw a handful of RH batters at him, but it won't matter. On the other side of the hill, this is not a good matchup for Tomlin. While Tomlin has great overall stats giving up only a .211 batting...

    Can someone look at the OAK/SEA game and tell me what you think?

    This one looks too easy IMO. So, without saying which side I'm on as to not sway anyone, I'd like som opinions on this one. I guess if it looks too easy it's probably not.....

    Need some Kickserve input here.

    I'm not an MMA guy so I genuinely don't know the answer here. Is Conor McGregor as big of a dick as he appears to be or is this just kinda a wrestling personality where he is playing the role of the villain? If he's just acting then he's doing a damn fine job. I don't think a guy that fights...

    What will happen to MadJacks when Raymond is gone?

    Who will create ghost accounts? Will we have to fire the forum post interpreter? Will we still be allowed to place 16 way parlays? Who will take over as the resident right wing nut job? Will Eddie Haskell find a new softball team to root for? Everything will be up in the air here at...

    Anyone use an online ticket broker ever?

    First of all, no Stubhub. Stubhub can suck it with all the fees they charge, but I have heard of people getting pretty good deals on tickets right before game time on other sites and I would go to a few more Pens playoff games if tickets weren't crazy expensive. If you want to sit in the lower...

    Your best Big Green Egg recipe?? Or any grill recipe really.

    I love my Big Green Egg and just about everything the comes off of it. I'd like to know what you grill that you love the best. Full recipe and instructions would be great instead of just saying "ribs", which is something I never seem to get right. Steak, simply done on a salt block is...

    Anyone else having trouble with the "go to first unread post" arrow?

    On new threads and new threads only since this afternoon I seem to not have any luck using the arrow that should take you to the first new post in each thread, just takes me to the first post. :shrug: Anyone else? Just me?

    Does anyone seriously watch the NFL draft?

    I mean really sit there and watch all that goes on? I get it that everyone wants to know who their team gets and maybe tune in when they are on the clock, but otherwise is this really good TV? Can't say I've ever seen 30 seconds of it live so maybe I am missing out. I get the feeling this is...

    I continue to get offers for American Express cards, why the hell would I want one?

    I know it's a status symbol for some folks who have a need to impress the cashier at the local Piggly Wiggly, but other than that why the hell would the average consumer want one? Unless you travel internationally I see no need to have one at all. I just read through the latest offer they sent...

    Jack, can you fix this?

    Something that has bothered me for years, but I never asked to get it fixed, is that the "P" in my username is not a capital. Can you fix that?

    Does anyone drink espresso?

    I think I drink too much of it. :burnout :fit01: :0039 :0064 :0058

    Steelers/Pats UNDER 43 -110

    Steelers still somehow envision themselves as a running team and this may be their week to have some success as the Pats suck at run defense. They suck at run defense almost as much as Pittsburgh sucks at clock management (try not calling time out when the clock is stopped this week Ben). The...

    How is the Madjacks Hilton team doing?

    Maybe it's the board re-design, but I can't seem to find the updates along with this weeks picks. How they doing and who are they on? Or, can't they say since they are mostly services now?

    Sports themed tattoo.........would you.......have you

    I'm sure the thoughts on this one will vary wildly and there is certainly no right answer, but do you have ink of your favorite team either college or pro? If so is it a team/school logo or is it of a player? I have seen some very good ones here in Pittsburgh, and I've seem some that...

    Nothing is easy money, but......

    Pens -190 and OVER 5 1/2 looks pretty good to me. Seriously, both back up goalies are slated to go tonight so the Pens are gonna have to run and gun to win this one which they will. Pens should put this over by themselves, but Pens backup Zatkoff will give up a few as well. Play em both.

    Thoroughly enjoyed meeting Mr. Poon last night

    He told me during dinner that he has met a number of you before so I'm sure it comes as no surprise when I say how great it was to hang out with him for a while. He did try and convince me that BBC is not a complete asshat, not sure I'm ready to believe that just yet. Great guy, great stories...
