I'll change my pick-em pick from the Browns to the Dolphins. But that's how far I will go. I can't root for a fishy mammal toothpaste company.

Remember the early 2000's when the Titans were kind of good? That was weird.
Rude.
:lol
I can't wait to start off the season with a 20 point beatdown of your dirty ass tea....
Its not the same.

Don't worry dude, the preseason SB favorites pretty much always win it all.
Oh, boo hoo. You only have two Superbowl titles and had John Fucking Elway leading your team for two decades.
He thinks he's Belicheat.
We should just limit Delmas to 10 plays a game and pick them wisely!
Founders makes amazing beer. Goldy and any other Michigander will back me up here if they've been there. If you are ever in Michigan, try to stop by there.
Yeah and we lost 4 superbowls too.

I just watched my team lose in the Finals, can't take seeing the Broncos go down too. Want Manning to go out on top with Bailey.
Agree, I moved out of the house at 19, moved to Texas from Wisconsin and never looked back. Love all the people making excuses as why its ok to live with your parents when your 25+

I've had the Boulevard BBQ, pretty damn good beer. Too bad Chicago is the nearest city that carries that line.
We get 3 points for home field, so at Seattle we'd be +9.5. Plus, Seattle historically struggles on the East Coast and specifically East Coast 1:00pm games. Add that it's week 1 and weird shit always happens week 1 and I think +3.5 is a fair line.
Smitty DGAF, tellin' it like it is...

It's my birthday though next week. If all you people put down like 10 bucks (with Bionic an extra 10 because I'm like a son to him), you can easily get me a PS3 Super Slim as a present.
Maybe that it is true about Chud. But I really think you are going to miss him when you see Shula working his magic. Hopefully he has held some stuff back, but it would be criminal to try and make Cam a full time drop back pocket passer

It depends upon circumstance, in my opinion. If you aren't planning for the future then yes, being your parents house past your mid-20's is indicative of there being a problem -- of which I hope any sensible parent would confront, but I digress. If someone manages to have an arrangement where they are contributing and moving toward goals, I'm not sure why it would be a big deal? In my life I've seen both examples: people who stayed with their parents, went to college, got married and moved out; and people who are still at home, not working and not pursuing an education. Everyone has their tolerance level, and every family dynamic is unique.
Worse than Sherman/Roddy?
Can't jinx greatness, either the team shows up and gets the job done or they don't.
Yeah, so what do you want us to do? Lay down and let the Falcons win it? What's the fun in that? If you would have drafted better or shown up in the Superbowl you might have had a title.

I mean, I love my parents and all...but I don't want to live with them ever again.
That team wasn't winning that game no matter what - regardless of Eugene Robinson's transsexual fuss up.
Even a 12-year-old me knew that. One of the worst teams to make the Superbowl in history. Up there with the meh Cardinals and the Delhomme Panthers.
I moved out at 18, before I even graduated. Never looked back. Such an awesome feeling.
Man, it's about time to swap out the avatar for a Dolphins one. Yeah, I know...
I'm guessing that 8-8 would be considered a huge success for Miami this year, but I'm banking on 7-9 or 6-10. I guess if they stay healthy and other teams don't that they could miraculously go 9-7, but there's no way they'd do that without lots of help along the way.
Still, I'm really excited for the season. There's going to be so many good storylines this year, especially when the NFC becomes a massive logjam at the top with the season winding down.

Probably old news for you guys, but that was a legendary post in an incredibly stupid thread.

How expensive/cheap and easy is it to find something in the US? Here you pay a lot for a small ass room, that is if you're lucky to find anything within 2 years.

Your just jelly because your coach looks like a preteen MidWestern girl.
What kind of ponce gives a fuck about their coaches looks?
The kind that says jelly I suppose.
I have no memory of this but taking a wild guess it probably had to do with you saying consoles are superior. But this was before 8GB GDDR5 so I really don't know what that convo was about!
Depends. In Chicago, my first place was $700 a month, but we lived in a nice part of town with roommates. You could find a suitable place for $560.
If you live in suburban areas, say 40 minutes out of Chicago or Atlanta, you could easily pay $500 for an apartment in a complex.

Yeah, that was one of his best.
All his recaps are pretty damn awesome. One of the few genuinely great things GAF has left.
That's pretty much what they said about the Broncos the year before, but they went in and beat the Pack.

Wonder how the cost of living for an average student is different in the US compared to here regarding food and stuff.
Also, 600 bucks in the centre of Amsterdam gives you a room the size of a Gitmo cell and you have to share a bathroom with 20.000 disgusting students. But because it's a damn miracle that a room like that opens up, people still take it. Guess that's what happens in a country this small, and this crowded.
How did you get 700 bucks a month though? Were you still in college at the time?
Best German, how's that in Germanland? Is it easy/affordable to get a place?
Dude, let's not compare teams helmed by John Elway to those helmed by Christopher Chandelier and Jake "Bojangles" Delhomme.
On my leanest days in college, I could get by spending less than $30/week on food. Ate a lot of hummos and pasta.
Of course, now with real money, it seems like I spend closer to $60/week - not including eating out.
If you notice the OP is Indian. I am from South East Asia myself and in those countries/cultures the norm is NOT moving but staying with your parents/extended family. A lot of my friends whose parents are from back home don't ever expect or want their kids to move out. Different culture = different norm. Its not pathetic or an excuse.
Hell they view kids moving out at 18 or even after college as "sad" or that their parents don't want them.
Get a roomate, and most decent areas you can find a 2 bedroom one bath apartment for about 6-900 a month, if you know where to look. Some places are far far worse, others are way better. My monthly house payment is less than what I would pay for an apartment.
Before February? Man that was a long time ago. I come off like a jackass most of the time, I'm glad you didn't lose sleep over it!
I'm sure it is culturally related, and that should be kept in mind. I've lived alone for four years and really wouldn't want it any other way.

I have a place with 3 roommates. Luckily my dad knows some people with real estate.

I'm Mexican and I have cousins in Mexico that still live their parents, it's totally normal over there and actually my cousins that live here in the US are also still living at home, I currently live with my dad but that's because he had surgery and couldn't work/take care of himself so he moved in with me. I just don't think it's that weird, how is it any different than living with a roommate?
Not paying rent vs. paying rent is a pretty big deal. A lot of people look at that as a way for people to not grow up. There are plenty of movies about it too. That stupid movie with Terry Bradshaw's ass for instance (Failure to Launch).

I'd stomp on a terrible towel in front of you in a heart beat.
No but seriously, I would.
