You know what I hate? People calling the Super Bowl "The Big Game". I know they sort of have to, but it is still annoying.

At the SB media day someone asked Carrol if this was a must win game.

The shit that was made about Lynch not wanting to speak to the media was way over-covered.

Damn...it is a bloodbath right now in the AF. 25K getting cut, but these young guys are not taking it very seriously. I think I'm safe, but I have some resumes out there just in case. Some are going to left flat footed...Army are making huge cutdowns soon as well.

I think Hostile joined the Army, that's why they figure they don't need as much personnel

Every time they show that X Box One commercial themed for the NFL, they show Seattle whipping our ass two years ago. Thanks, Bill Gates.

Sports media often gets what the fan cares about confused with what sports media worker cares about.

I think that's Gates former partner who now owns the Seahawks.

That reminds me of this thing I listened to yesterday. I guess there's this guy who created his X Box Live screen name to be XBoxOneSignOff which is also the voice command to shut down the system. Then he put a video on youtube of recordings of all these stupid people who play him online. He messes with them to get them frustrated and all you hear is "This guy is stupid, get out of my way, XBoxOneSignOff!!...oh wait, nooooooo!!!" I guess it doesn't actually sign them completely off because a prompt screen asks if you want to confirm, but it freezes them long enough to mess up their online game.

Ace put the video in the Video Game thread a few weeks ago.

[h=1]Ketchup isn’t the king of American condiments. Mayonnaise is[/h]By Roberto A. Ferdman and Ritchie King January 29, 2014

​


If you think ketchup is king of American condiments, think again. +



The US now consumes some $2 billion worth of mayonnaise each year. The ketchup market is worth less than half that—around $800 million, according to data from Euromonitor. +



Ketchup is followed by soy sauce, the market for which reached $725 million last year, and barbecue sauce, which came in at $660 million. Hot sauce, for the record—while growing far faster than the others—is still well behind. The American hot sauce industry is worth about $550 million. And mustard, the market for which has actually been shrinking since 2009, is valued at just under $450 million. +



(Update: Various readers have asked why salsa isn’t included on this list. Euromonitor responds that salsa is, technically speaking, a “dip”, not a condiment. So now you know. For what it’s worth, salsa would eclipse ketchup, but still be second to mayo.) +



The massive American mayo market owes a lot to the condiment’s growth from a traditional sandwich add-on to an ingredient in everything from tuna salad to spicy tuna rolls. But it’s also benefitted from the blistering rise of low-fat mayo as Americans become more health-conscious. The market for low-fat mayo has doubled since 2005. +

I demand an explanation.

Well tell us about it.

Makes that stupid Honey Boo Boo show seem cultured.
