    Don say :

    You are correct. This is the only thing that worries me about this game. The reason we didn't throw the ball any in the second half because Dan knew most if not every single player on offense and defense. He knew our chances of winning decreased a bunch if we threw since he knew they had really...

    I can’t lose weight

    Interesting reading everyone's take on this. Here's mine. It's tried, true, and can work for anybody in my opinion. 1. I'm not a fan of diets. Everyone that does them is miserable for 1-3 months, lose weight then go right back to unhealthy habits. My suggestion - tweak your lifestyle. This...

    OT: Bitcoin

    Also, just so we're clear here. From a payments market share perspective (not investing) Bitcoin is not even a blip of a blip as far as being relevant. The news and investing resources will have you believe so. Just something to keep in mind. I'm like many in the fact that I think it's a cool...

    OT: Bitcoin

    Ok let me rephrase. On a macro level it doesn't solve a big enough problem for the masses. YET. It may in the future but it doesn't today and it won't for years. Like I said earlier, everything in payments moves extremely slow. I can come up with a thousand little problems that Bitcoin may solve...

    Crazy rumor in Hogland

    Although not a perfect system, it's very simple system. The more demand, the more money will be thrown around. The beauty of the system is if you don't like it, don't participate. Problem solved. No one forces fans to go to games or watch. It will correct itself if enough people think it's out...

    OT: Bitcoin

    I worked in the payments industry for a good while, now I work for a financial institution. Here are my thoughts on it. And this is from a practical standpoint and not an investment standpoint. -The concept is pretty cool but hard to understand for a regular joe. It would be an ideal payment...

    Crazy rumor in Hogland

    These types of things have gone on for years. We just live in the information age now where it's easier to be heard. PS I don't commend any of those bad actions and I also agree that rules should be enforced. Point is, money isn't the reason those things happened. Lastly, do you know where all...

    OT: DirecTv Now - anyone have experience with it?

    As we all wait for the cynical "You people need to stop cutting cords because it drives up prices! EVEN GAS PRICES" post, I'll contribute. I looked at this channel guide comparison of the two and it looked almost identical except for one item that I think will be pretty significant as a State...

    OT: Business Post (CC payment change is coming...)

    24% of Americans use cash for their primary method of payment. Around 70% carry less than $50 bucks with them. If you drill down to the younger demographic it's even less. So as a business owner you're essentially cutting your customer base right out of the gate if you decide to be cash only. I...

    OT: Business Post (CC payment change is coming...)

    This whole idea of not accepting credit cards but having an ATM on premise baffles me. The owner of the ATM still has to pay processing fees. Swiping your card at a POS terminal vs an ATM is essentially the same thing back-office wise. Plus the cost of keeping it compliant, as owning an ATM...

    I hate pretentious music snobs that tell me

    Drives me insane too. I play 4 different instruments and usually listen to classic rock or country but I never tell anyone that their music sucks. Different music reaches different people. With that said, I'm fine with telling someone I don't like their music but that doesn't mean that their...

    Sounds like Sallach didn't like being #processed

    This is rather interesting. Someone that used to be close to the program told me that Mullen and Sallach were actually roommates in college and appeared to be friends. Wonder what happened?

    The sports version of CNN is swinging the axe

    Piggy backing off your response back to MaroonNation. I disagree that the election is a major contributor to ESPN's current downfall. Their numbers were falling before that. As for Disney pushing their agenda, I think it complements my original post you were responding to more than anything...
