    Guilty Pleasure Movies

    Not sure if, in my 11+ years on this board, I've ever seen a thread about this, but my brain is pretty fried today. Anyhoo... Name a movie that you'd consider a "guilty pleasure". Meaning you probably wouldn't want to admit it (unless you're on an anonymous message board or just have no...

    Popular Candy You've Never Tried

    I see a lot of commercials for PayDay bars on TV. While I like peanuts, I can't say that I've ever tried this candy bar. What popular candy (whether it be a bar or otherwise) have you never tried?

    Trade advice - giant 32-teamer

    I am babysitting a franchise in a 32-team "homer" league that was completely abused by its former owner. Like, the guy traded away 1sts for garbage repeatedly and the franchise has been in the garbage can for several years. I own the 1.02 and have an offer for it. Achane (3 year deal)...

    SoCal (Orange County) cornhole alert!

    @DA RAIDERS and I are planning on gettin' some beers at Bootlegger's Brewery in Costa Mesa. Possibly either Monday August 21st or 28th. 5pm ish. Anyone local want to join? P.S. They have awesome shirts that'd be great for the T-Shirt Exchange!

    What one thing - that you can do "OK" - do you wish you could do a LOT better?

    Schtick clearly encouraged here, but what one thing... that you can do "OK".... do you wish you did a whole lot better? For me the first thing to came to mind (since there are plenty of things) is singing. I sang backup in a HS/college band with a few buddies but was always too nervous (or...

    Any Hot Wheels collectors here? Or perhaps even just car "collectibles" fans?

    My Dad passed away a few months ago and my Mom and I have been going through all of his collectibles that we're looking to sell since my Mom's income is obviously going to drop. He had a lot of Hot Wheels (in box) and some larger-scale cars of various makers as well. Is there anyone here that...

    Talk to me about Disney's California Adventure

    Did a search, came up empty. And who woulda thunk it.... a native SoCal guy asking for advice about something in his own backyard. But yeah, never been. Been to Disneyland itself more times than I can shake a stick at, can walk around that place like I own it. But it's neighboring...

    Curious.... where do people go for "nightlife" in small town America?

    I have a trip planned to west Texas next month; a two-nighter. I fly into and stay the first night in Midland, so there's no issue in finding a spot to have a couple of beers while I'm there. I like trying to find a local, non-chain type of restaurant and usually have a few beers at a local...

    Super Wildcard Week lineup

    Just wrapped up a 4-team draft for this weekend only. Half-ppr. QB - Brady RB - Etienne, Mixon WR - Jefferson, Lamb TE - Hockenson Feeling decent about it. Really wanted Cook at RB. Not enthused with my RBs but they could be decent. Thoughts?

    RB thoughts....

    This is in a standard league, so really chasing carries and potential TDs here. I need to start 3. Najee atBAL - don't like the matchup much but he's been carrying the load as of late. Montgomery @DET - decent matchup, indoors... but Fields factor plus Herbert is back Haskins vs. DAL -...

    A co-worker hit my car. AMA!

    A few weeks ago I was going to lunch with a co-worker (who I had previously worked with at another company... hellooooo referral bonus!) and as we were leaving the parking lot, another co-worker comes whippin' around off the main street into the driveway and clips my front/driver-side bumper. I...

    Replacing Hall - a few options

    Like many of us, I lost Breece Hall this past weekend. I am looking to replace him and have a few options. First, I can ride out the storm and just roll with Najee (who's a shell of his former self) and Montgomery (an OK RB2) and play someone like Allgeier or Mooney at flex. I also have...

    Keeping up with the Joneses -- Marvin or Zay Week 6?

    I need to grab and start either Zay Jones or Marvin Jones this week. Zay has been dinged, and with him hobbled last week, Marvin went off. Sounds like Zay is practicing on a limited basis, which makes me lean towards Marvin, but I see a ton of sites ranking Zay ahead of Marvin. Thoughts...

    Do the words "to" and "too" rhyme?

    Well? Do they? I listen to a lot of NFL Radio and notice a lot of people pronounce the word "to" "tuh". I need to pay attention to others in my life including myself to see just how prevalent this is.

    "Well" and "yeah" on ESPN/NFLN/etc.

    Maybe this is weird, maybe not. But if you pay close attention you won't be able to un-hear it. I have discovered that field reporters, I'd say 80-90% of the time, will begin their first sentence with either the word "yeah" or "well". This is like when the studio host feeds them some...

    So what's your FBG username all about?

    This has probably been done before, but ya know, search function, blah blah blah. Why's your username here what it is? Mine's pretty simple.  I am/was "darin3" at another "popular fantasy football site message board" and when things took a dive off a cliff there, I joined up here and just...

    Lower buy-in "legacy dynasty" league w/ IDP looking for TWO

    Legacy league - meaning it's a dynasty league without contracts - looking for a pair of owners. League is called Gang of 10 and is hosted on MFL.  You can see the open teams there.  Both squads are pretty good. I think the buy in is $25 (sorry, got a lot of leagues and can't recall... I do...

    Things you've put off buying, finally bought, and are super-glad you finally bit...

    Whenever I travel for work, I add the SiriusXM radio option to my rental car.  I hate having to search for local sports talk radio stations or whatever.  But half the time, the Hertz folks don't properly activate the radio, and having to get their "support staff" to activate it while you're on...

    What's wrong with my TV? Or is it my DirecTV box?

    Already posted on DirecTV forums, no responses yet.  Figured there are some techie types in here that might have a clue. I have an older LG tv, connected to the slave unit or Genie or whatever it's called. I turn the TV on, and it waits a few moments before powering off on its own.  Batteries...
