"nose to the grindstone" I heard an NFL commentator say this.

WTF???


Why would I want to grind my nose on a grindstone?

I can understand wanting to stop and smell the roses, I cannot understand olfactory mutilation.

All I know is, when someone says, "With all due respect . . . "

they are about to say something not very respectful.

I didn't think they gave them to filthy foreigners such as yourself.

Rouge, if you're stuck, I can shelter you for a little while, pal.

I'm sure TRON would lend you his jacket for the trip.

My all time favourite name for a college is Gonzaga.

Gonzaga!

gone fukkin Zagga! Names just don't get any cooler.


Also, I sometimes wonder how many asian students are enrolled at Rice.

Sometimes I am concerned I have too much free time.

Gonzaga is the best name ever. Gonzaga has been advanced quite far on many a bracket solely due to the name coolness.

People still haven't caught on.

Common. Lines exist outside CBS Sports.

Idiots.

Gimme your monies.

Looks like the lines don't update. When do you have to have your pick in by? Just the kickoff of the game in question, or do you have to have all of them in before whatever the first game of the week is?

*Figuratively but literally swallowing is preferred!

Kickoff of individual games.

Zero skill involved, but then why don't they all do the same thing I do?

Ideally the winner would be the guy who's best at picking the games where the Thursday line (which is what CBS uses) ends up being the same as the closer.

But these guys are so completely clueless, I don't even have to bother researching the close games. I picked NYJ this week because .

I was 11 picks behind the leader a couple weeks ago. Had to make a HUGH comeback. Joe Public was killing it early in the season.

Matty, no dishonest person running it this year, eh? I guess you're the closest thing to a thief with regards to it!
