Bug: Spofi eats comments

Apparently if a comment is considered "too long" (I'm guessing), Spofi simply trashes it without warning or option for recovery.

Drainage luge? Wrestle ball? Freestyle snowshoe boulder jumping?

NFL.com fantasy football vs. Yahoo fantasy football

lil_brown_bat — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:49:06 -0400

besides participating in the Spofi head to head, I usually run a h2h league at work. In the past I've used Yahoo, but I wondered if anyone has experience with the NFL.com free fantasy game and has an opinion of their respective goodness. Any thoughts?

Is spofi ailing?

Is it just me or is anyone else seeing many many many "connection failed"s lately?

It's a sister slam!

US skiers Lindsay Vonn and Bode Miller took the women's and men's overall World Cup Sunday, claiming the highest honors in one of the world's most challenging athletic competitions. Miller and Vonn each also claimed a discipline World Cup, in super combi and downhill respectively. The US total of five crystal globes (Ted Ligety of the US won the men's GS World Cup) was the most of any competing nation.

Thread-pissing

lil_brown_bat — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:39:56 -0500

can we have a little civil discussion about what constitutes thread-pissing, and what editorial policy toward it is (and should be)? There's been a bit of it lately, or at least allegations of same (I'm thinking of three, possibly four different threads, which I'll reference if anyone wants).

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Curt Schilling isn't just wrassling with Congress, he's now engaged in a dispute with his employer, the Boston Red Sox, over his readiness to start the '08 season. The issue: a bum shoulder. The disagreement: what to do about it -- and whether Schilling's condition would allow the Red Sox to void his one-year contract.
