Tabbitha do you own a nice whisky decanter?

No. I don't drink whisky all that often.

Hey manly, what are your favorite k-cup varieties? I'd like to expand my horizons.

Breakfast blend by green mountain is my go to. DD makes a good version as well.

Well, they did beat NE once already this season. Last yr's game could have gone either way, and they beat 'em in '09. NE is the better team, but the Ravens seem to be a bad matchup for them. Should be a good one.

SF has been hot and cold this yr. No idea what to expect in that game. We'll see if that playoff win got ATL over the hump. They're certainly tough at home, though if Kaep plays like he did last game, it won't matter.

Gronk being out does hurt NE, too. The thing with NE is, they rarely lose at home, especially in the playoffs. Baltimore does have the team to do it, if Flacco doesn't get stupid with the ball, I think they have a shot. I hope so, anyways.

I think SanFran will win, but I wouldn't be surprised or upset if Atlanta did.

Do you get any flavored stuff, or you just stick to the regular coffee blends?

Very entertaining. Sucks that Peyton won't be able to take down Brady again this year, and I doubt the Ravens can. It was nice to see the Packers get beat.

When Seattle came back, I was praying that somehow Matt Ryan would shed his choker label and lead Atlanta to a game winning FG. Then, when they left 11 seconds on the clock, and subsequently kicked it 10 yards on the kick off, I felt sick. Thankfully, it worked out in Atlanta's favor.

SF was the only team I was specifically rooting for. Their last few games of the regular season had me concerned - nearly blowing that huge lead against NE and getting stomped by the Seahawks the following week - so I wasn't sure if they'd come out flat against GB.

With that said, I wouldn't mind seeing Tony Gonzalez get a superbowl ring. He spent so many years on an underachieving Chiefs team, giving a lot of effort and loyalty.

They (SF) looked impressive vs Green Bay. Of the teams remaining, the only team I do not want to win the superbowl is New England. Any of the other 3 teams would be fine with me. My preference would be the Niners.

Usually regular or bold. Hazelnut and coconut by gm is legit. Did not like their white hot chocolate tho.

GM caramel vanilla cream is very good. So is Gloria Jean's Hazelnut.

The best hot choc I've tried so far is the Cafe Escapes brand.

I read about this place on Eater DC a while back. I'm intrigued. Was going to ask Zoran about it at some point. I've no experience with the cuisine.

Ugh... don't give me a reason to root for the falcons. Gonzo definitely deserves a ring, but that would involve the falcons winning.


I'm looking forward to next year in my dynasty league. Currently I have Jake Locker, Andy Dalton, Russel Wilson, and Colin Kaepernick on my team. I will drop Locker before next season starts, possibly Dalton. I also have David Wilson (Giants rookie RB), Kendall Wright (Titans rookie WR). Not to mention Jamaal Charles, Demaryius Thomas, and Darren McFadden (50/50 on how good that is).

It's nearly unbelievable that the win over the stupid seahawks was his first playoff victory.

[Hishiad]

Niners look the most dominating. But if the Falcons show up and don't mindfuhk themselves their team is plenty good enough to win.

[mjw8204]

Yes, he has had the misfortune of being on teams that perform poorly in the playoffs. The Chiefs were notorious for one-and-done. I believe the last time they won a playoff game was when Joe Montana was the QB.

Let me make it even worse by appearing suddenly!

Adamat Davishnakov-47, there were two moments above when you zigged when you should've zagged. Live and learn...

Your presence is a good case for shutting the Rant down for good.

Russell with 2 L's Wilson is far better than Colin Kockandnut

Wish I had dibs on another year with A. Peterson, then again, some people might draft QBs

Only team I like in the playoffs is Ray Lewis'.

Do any of you know someone that works in regulatory affairs in the Northern NJ/Greater NYC area?

Could you use someone who just gets into other people's affairs in general?

If they are an energetic go-getter I might consider it.

so you're saying I'm doing it right.

Kvk, went with your meal idea. Good call.

[Farley1324]

One more thing, for Farley, re your sig.

One of the founding fathers, Madison, wrote this, regarding why the United States should be a republic rather than a true democracy :

" . . . refine and enlarge the public views by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under such a regulation it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the same purpose (Federalist No. 10)."

Does that sound like it is working as intended ?

Night!

No, that does not sound like it is working as intended.

I don't know how you feel about our elected representatives and the job they are doing (public approval ratings are abysmal) but the part in bold and underline is not how I, personally, would describe Congress.
