I've been a little concerned at his inconsistency this season, Banned, but it's never been as troubling as Ponder was. He played mediocre (and that's me being nice) almost the entire game vs. CHI, but I tell you what, man- those last two drives were fantastic. That was veteran level play for a young guy- and it was there when the Vikes needed it most. I hope it's just a sophomore slump.
During the Frazier era, the Vikes definitely lose two of those last three games (KAN and CHI). Last year they inched closer, but still couldn't quite close those deals. This year their defense is keeping them in it and the offense is doing just enough to get wins.
Red zone offense is still a problem, as are the slow starts. Some of Norv's playcalling is head-scratching and I'm beginning to wonder if the old man is just long in the tooth in today's NFL.
Tough part of the schedule is rapidly approaching. The Rams will be a great test at home, but the Vikes are a better overall team and should win. Then we get the Carr vs. Bridgewater battle in Oakland, then an absolutely brutal stretch of GB, ATL, SEA, and AZ. If the Vikes can take even three of those six I'll feel ok. It'll also guarantee them at least an 8-8 record, which is an improvement from last season. I still feel like this will be a 10-6 team with a one-and-done in the Wild Card. It's progress, though.
Defense will be fine- but this offense needs to step up.
I can't wait til that wristband system is universal. All it'll take is for one of the payment systems to "win" significant market share.
No real reason my Moto360 or Band 2 couldn't have the exact same functionality. Tap your wrist, enter a pin number, and you get shit for free. Bernie gonna pay my credit card bill!

Double stroller it is.
My daughter just barely makes 40", son is just under 44" but I don't think they are ready for shit like Tower of Terror. I think they can handle Space Mountain though if we are big enough for it. Me and the son are dying to go on the updated Star Tours ride and we were just glad they were big enough for that.
We have a 4 day pass and the plan is 2 days at Magic, 1 day at Hollywood and 1 day at Animal Kingdom.
My sister goes every year so I knew about the wrist band thing, I was more happy with the tags for our luggage that will magically show up in our room (if this shit works).
We are staying at the one near Animal Kingdom. Don't remember the name. Never stayed on site before. My dad thought that was a waste of money. We usually rented a house and played golf and tennis on the days we did not go to the park. That was actually a ton of fun but my kids are the perfect age for Disney and everyone says it is easier at the park hotels. Plus we are doing some kind of character themed breakfast or lunch.
No parents come with us so we can't go on the bigger rides. Just hope it doesn't rain. I know the kids will have a ton of fun. We are probably going to Downtown Disney one day for the Rainforest Cafe. My kids have never been there before. I have been there a bunch with my uncle and my cousins (the one in DC not Florida). The food was always blah but I remember little kids loved that place.
I need to fucking take some calls, but in the meantime I present you with some titties.

My step father is one of those weird Disney nuts for some reason, so I ended up always staying at the parks. The Animal Kingdom resort was the last time I went, and was probably the most enjoyable. You had a balcony and giraffes were just hanging out next to you. I just remember the worst part about the resorts years prior was the food. Even as a kid, I'm still haunted by the crap they used to serve. Glad they fixed that.
Epcot was the best though.
Epcot was the best though.
Exactly what we did. It was perfect. Space Mountain is like 48" though, so neither will make it. That one and Mt. Kiliminjaro at Animal Kingdom were literally the only ones they checked.
The only ride line that was way too fucking long was the 7 dwarves. Not worth it unless you get the fastpass for it, in my opinion. Do Thunder Mountain twice or something.
But Cam is such an inaccurate passer y'all!!!!!!!11
We could not get fastpass for Dwarves. Why is the wait so long?
Sucks they can't do Space Mountain. I have never been on the updated ride.
I once managed to board a flight in 18 minutes arriving at DFW, or I would have missed my flight. I'd say it's very possible.
Dwarves just opened in 2014. Still a novelty I'm assuming.
Hmm thanks. Looking at going to Vancouver to watch the Bruins on December 5th. I'd assume I'd get killed and then my body used as fuel for the inevitable riot there...being a Bruins fan and all.

Staying on Disney Property is definitely worth it, especially at the Animal Kingdom resorts which are nice and tons of fun. Animal Kingdom is great because your kids will be able to go out onto the deck or to the lobby, or anywhere, and watch giraffes like.. 25 yards away.. eating shit out of trees. This was the view from my room, just wake up look outside and see antelope, zebras, and giraffes wandering around grazing... It was great.
The restaurants at Animal Kingdom are, IMO, the best of the disney hotel restaurants with legitimately good food, but most are directed towards an East African / Indian theme. But, they still have.. y'know.. "Gobi Mac and Cheese" and whatever Chicken fingers so the kids will be fine. They have some pretty good drinks there too, like this habanero margarita which was damn good. Pools at that hotel are good too, the one at...... Kidani Village (I think that's the name of it) has a water slide, and the pool bar had 4 or 5 decent beers on draught too (I basically drank my way through Disney last year), so good spot to throw the kids in the pool, grab a couple pints and hang out.
Only drawback to Animal Kingdom is the distance from most of the parks and how large the hotel is. I had to walk a damn good distance to get to my room, because the hotel goes around this animal preserve area, so it's a long walk from the lobby if you're not close. At the end of the day after walking ~10 miles and standing in the bus for 15 minutes, it was kind of a drag, but all in all, staying in the hotels is so worth it for the shuttle, services, and also the great experience... Your kids will love it, and that hotel is also great for adults too.
Dwarves is new and it's a kids roller coaster that adults can enjoy too so it's pretty busy. I imagine it's like the equivalent of Big Thunder Mountain when I was a kid, whcih was like the seminal roller coaster experience of my child hood. Definitely wouldn't be worth the 60+ minute wait for non-fast pass. If you have one of those "Extra MAgic Hours" days, you can try to do it then and it's worth going on if the wait is 10, 15 mins.
Space Mountain is good fun but I'm sure you'll find other rides that both kids will enjoy.

Post game, Luck went into cover behind a barrier and waited for his vision to go from black and white to color. He's fully recovered in ... ~24 hours.
He came into the game with broken ribs but they healed sometime between the 3rd and 4th quarters.
Funny if the Pats didn't report an injury on the IR Report people would have their pitchforks out wanting blood but the colts? No outrage, no demanding, no accusations...fucking hypocrites
Like those three straight years the P*ts had Br*dy on the injury report? Where's your outrage?

Were you outraged
Cute asterisks.
jnc injury reports are such a joke.
Belichick already makes a mockery of the injury report and have for years, where have you been?

Here's clips of Charlie Davies British announcer for I believe BBC calling the Browns game Sunday. It's legitimately hilarious, if you have a minute listen. He even calls the ppl in charge wankers. Skip in about 2 minutes into the video
All I'm hearing is a Weezer song and then an ad read from some sports radio talk show host. At what point does the British guy come in?
Indy's owner is a degenerate criminal drug addict.
The Colts can always blame the drugs when things go sour.
What is the Pats excuse?

I think about 2 mins just skip in, it's from a radio show segment. They played the clips of the broadcast
Multiple Choice
A) Belicheat
B) Hermurderez
C) Brady being less than a man
D) Gronk/Edelman STD
E) All of the above
There was? I'm going to need to see you back up your narrative, lunchbox.
Usually you talk a lot of nonsense, but today you seem to be on top of your game.
What changed? Coffee?
"They have one too many wankers in the building and I can't imagine the fans can put up with this much longer."
I'd pay money to watch games with this guy doing commentary.

Glad to see you come around and defend Bradford. We can always use more people on our side.
Florio was on the radio today saying that the Titans fired Wiz now to get things in order so that they could make a push for Chip in the offseason. I cant imagine Lurie trading Chip for anything. I especially wouldnt want to do business with the Titans after they turned down that crazy deal the Eagles offered them for the #2 pick.
I get Larry Allen vibes watching some of Collins plays. There was a play during the Seattle game where he blocks Mebane and at the end of the block just sends him flying back on his ass. Then there was that run blocking play he had early in the second quarter where he takes the LB Walker out just levels him then gets into the second level and destroyed the safety.
Crickets?? Is it being pumped into the stadium sound system?
My folks had such an awful time with DFW customs on their last trip that they went and did the Global Entry thing. Of course they were exiting a 777 from London that time, but there just weren't enough customs officials working to handle all the people
No only the Patriots cheat.
Can't wait until the Pats win it all again this year and I can watch everything burn
No. They force feed crumpets.
Tired of protesting bionic. I'm giving into the hate and uncertainty.
Damn...okay. That makes me a bit more worried. I may look into the Global Entry thing. My boss is making me work in Poland for about a month early next year so I think it'll be worth it anyway with all the trips back and forth to England.

I don't get why teams draft WRs like this. Everyone knew this was a problem for Funchess. You can't teach catching ability.
Why would you do that?
What are you borrowing for? It's usually not recommended.
For their most recent trip, their were literally no lines for people that had Global Entry at immigration and customs. I know they had to go to the airport before their trip for an interview, but otherwise it was relatively painless. Good for 5 years

I was in DFW last week. It's a nice airport.

Most commonly it's done to get money for a down payment on a house. I looked into it for awhile but never went through with it.
MRSA, it's not a bad option as long as it's a small percentage of what you've got and you plan on paying it back quickly. Biggest disadvantage is just that the chunk of money you take out isn't growing. Also, if you lost your job you'd have to pay it back in a short window (I want to say 60 days but I'm not sure) or face early withdrawal penalties which could be rough.
I think it's an okay option as a last resort if you're responsible but only if you're desperate. I had a co-worker who did it to get money for a down payment on a house and he swears by it.
I'm not doing it. My friend wants to do it to payoff student loans and credit cards as a way to reconcil debt for a home loan.
