    The Long Read Thread - I think that's what it's called

    Thought maybe a thread for longer "articles" might be interesting to peruse. If not, so be it. Note the articles are long, so I am only posting the link. This one is about Tommy Lasorda's youngish son who died of aids...

    Another serious question for the pros here - medical related

    In spite of having health insurance, my recent hospital visits, surgeries, stays have left me with bills of about 20k. Too be honest I am afraid to open up some envelopes. Can anyone advise on a strategy to delay payment until I am at least able to go back to work. I work on 100% commission.

    The Podcast Thread

    I have been listening to this American Life podcast off and on for a while now. I just finished This American Life "Serial" podcast, about Adnan Syed. Really quite interesting, though at the conclusion, I am really none the wiser. Not sure what happened. Worth a listen though.

    Car thread

    Apologies if one already exists. I am looking for some advice. I want a coupe, I like the look of the Audi A5 or the BMW 428i (I think thats what it is). But does anyone have a suggestion. I will trade my current car in and probably lease my next one.

    Hard Knocks - ATL

    Mike Smith comes across as a whiter version of Garrett. Will we see more of Biermann's hideous PAWG? Hope so.

    So

    So, while you are arguing if Obama is the worst President ever, or just the second worst; remind me why the US supports Israel in every thing they do; lets a worldwide population of what 13 Million control worldwide foreign policy and turn a blind eye to everything that state does, including...

    RIP Chuck Noll

    Hie reign was before me, but four SB's in 6 years. If he did that now, he would he a God. Is he just underrated. I would be curious to hear from people who watched the NFL in the 70's. He had to have something about him.

    2014 Hall of Fame

    Any guesses who gets in? Seems like a weak group of finalists to me. I would say that D. Brooks and W. Jones are locks. I would add W. Shields to that list; so that leaves two. My guess is that J. Bettis and M. Strahan get in; though if it were up to me, I would like to see Tim Brown get...

    West Virginia

    Not sure how Dennis Rodman in rehab is a more important story than 300,000 people in WV not having access to tap water for 3+days to do simple things such as drink, bathe or wash stuff. But there you go.

    GW Bridge Closure

    Not sure why Dennis Rodman is a bigger story here, over the involvement of the the Gov. of NJ's involvement in a bridge slowdown due to political retribution; but still.

    RIP Phil Everly

    RIP Phil Everly. One of favorites growing up. The video is from the Royal Albert Hall, circa 1983. What makes it poignant is that this was their comeback tour/ concert after 10 years of estrangement.

    I am not even sure who #1 is, but this might be a fun way to pass the 2nd half of Broncos game. My favs are Penelope Cruz (obviously) Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Connelly, Eva Mendez (loses points for dating Mr. Douche) and Rachel Weiss. Here is link...

    A Football Life

    Enjoyed the Derek Thomas story tonight. Has always been one of my favorite players. I actually also liked the SEC Storied show about Archie Manning. How good could Archie have been if drafted by the right team...though seeing Baby videos of Eli makes me think of Rosemary's Baby.

    Syria

    How can there not be one thread about Syria. What should Obama do? I notice he is being isolated by the international community. This is not his fault. Every administration overseas got tired of the Bush admin lies about everything. Even today, Iraq is a death pool, what has changed since...
