NFT: It's Friday...how did you get smarter (or dumber) this week?

RC02XX : 1/30/2015 9:11 am
I learned that some of us (myself included) don't mind being called derogatory names by our cable companies as long as we can get free months of service.

I also learned that OBJ's record for the most one handed catch in a minute isn't that impressive since 1) he wore gloves, 2) Brees was the QB throwing to him, and 3) he only used his right hand. Next time, he needs to bring his "A" game.

I read more Headhunter posts.
I learned that resiliency

I also learned that Man U is trying to acquire Garth Bale for 150 Meg Euros...

One of the strongest in the country. So strong in fact, that it coerces media and government agencies to hype potential snow storm to drive people to the stores to purchase goods they would have bought anyway...

I learned that despite the fact  
B in ALB : 1/30/2015 10:09 am : link
that a guy is projected to be an excellent edge rusher in the NFL and has been a huge pass rushing threat his whole life, combining great speed, strength and technique at the DE position in a 4-3 defense, he's the next Rey Maualuga and should be turned into a MLB.

I cannot believe I just typed that.

Nope...based on nothing more than his interview during the Super Bowl media day alone, we've concluded that he's an asshole...and ungrateful asshole, who doesn't appreciate the media that has made his sports and him so popular and rich.

manh george : 1/30/2015 11:35 am : link
it makes more sense to deflate their egos than their balls.

And, that when dealing with balls, it ruins the effect if you wear gloves.
I also learned, just today...  
manh george : 1/30/2015 11:41 am : link
the Romney does not intend to run for president in 2016, leaving more room for Sarah Palin.


I also learned, btw, that bond yields can only go one way--lower. For those who haven't been paying attention, the 10-year Treasury is at an extraordinary 1.67%.

BobOnLI : 1/30/2015 12:05 pm : link
Is Palin running and bond yields a causative relationship or merely a correlation?

He does way more than that. People should continue to judge him without knowing him though. He is a good guy who helps people for no other reason except that he can.
Boboli.  
manh george : 1/30/2015 12:17 pm : link
So long as Sarah can see Russia from her house, yields will continue to decline. I can practically guarantee it. (But not quite).
Reading posts by Giants2012 actually does make you dumber

Ew.

Always use terms of endearment that are on the surface derogatory, or at the very least just plain descriptive.

This accomplishes two goals:

1- Maintaining emotional distance

2- Keeps them in "pleasing" mode

Once the relationship gets serious, most people make the mistake of actually showing that they give a shit. This causes much complacency and completely removes most of the challenge (and eventually the desire) from the relationship.


Rookie.
