Manziel has just produced the worst half of QB play I've ever seen. Surely they could have identified this in practice. Wreckless to put him in when playoffs were still an option - Hoyer hasn't been shocking.

Hoyer has been terribad last few games, that Manziel didn't get in earlier means they think he has no hope. Didnt see any of the game today but the score suggests it hasnt been good

Hoyer was poor alright last couple in particular but showed earlier he could produce in the NFL. Manziel was god awful. For people like Joe Thomas for the coaching staff to effectively give up on the playoffs has to be a big kick in the teeth.

...Mel B looks like she is going to drop dead any minute...And I really didn't like Fleur's final song...Ben might win it based on the last song, if decision is close before it...

They'll be probably in the same situation next year too cos they've won too many matches. Wonder will they try dump Manziel for a decent pick.

Bring back Tebow

I would say you would struggle to get a 4-5th rounder for him at this stage? He wasn't helped by having a rookie center today to be fair.

[luckforsome]

...Ben has gone from 11/10 into 2/7 to win...I wonder would they have information, or would they be basing it on social media?...if its the latter, then would Fleur not represent great value at 5/2??...

Agree, Bens version was much better. I would have picked fleur all along but that song was just wrong for her. She is so cocky anyway that I would like to see Ben win now. Either way she is gonna be huge. Major gap in the market for her.

...yeah Ben will have a number 1 for the Xmas, but in 5 years it'll be Fleur that is making the millions...she has that swagger than Leona Lewis and Riannha have...and as you said very few like her...I think Ben will have much more competition to stay famous...
...and to ask, how the duck have 1D been so famous...they must have had the greatest marketing in the world...are they really that good?...would your Mia love them like there is nothing else?...

I saw one direction in concert and tbf they were excellent, they can sing! Fleur reminds me so much of Janet Jackson. She is extremely talented. Ben will be another xfactor statistic.

You shouldn't get anymore but he sells a shitload of shirts. Cowboys were interested at draft, that crazy bastard Jerry Jones could do anything

You a Browns fan? I hope Eagles lock up the division tonight, can't stay up to watch it tho which is annyonig me

[ArmaniJeans]

@ hockey people.
Was watching a game today and found myself thinking about the concept of the scoring circle from outside which you can't score.
Any particularly good reason for its existence or is just something that always been a rule?
I cant see how it's presence adds to the game ; conversely if it wasn't there and people were able to score 35 metre shots would this be a bad thing?

[Lord Sir Banter]

As someone who hasn't watched the X-Factor in years, they are both awful.
Also, is that Sam Smith lad always barely comprehensible when he sings? They must sort that out in the studio for the non live versions. Bit mad really.

Not a solid fan of any team really just love the sport! Problem for Manziel is that he has no value as a backup QB you don't want someone like him as you pretty much need your whole system dedicated to him so if your stud goes down bringing in Manziel is too big a shift. Also like Tebow there is too big a distraction value around him.

Should be a very interesting game for Eagles tonight. Cowboys O-Line were terrible last time and their defense lacked the conditioning to keep up with the high octane offense. Interesting to see if they can turn it around.

I think we will see him front a band in the future, he would be great in that role. I really don't like Fleur at all. I don't think she is that great a singer, she is a performer though and I think the opposite about there not being ones like her out there. I think there are so many singers like that.

[Wesley Harms]

And by everyone I mean Powers €3.65 and Betfair

Safety would definitely have been a reason when I was playing. Having someone try to pump it from 35 metres out full force and lifted in the air would not have been a good idea at any level. Even if the rule was to keep it down on such attempts, mistakes would happen from time to time.

lol Sky News... 'one witness said the gunman either had a handgun or a sawn off shotgun, it would be difficult to determine, especially from a distance'

No it fucking wouldn't! Not from any visible distance.

They were showing live video from Australia's 7 News which had a watermark of their logo running across the middle of the screen, they showed a still of the gunman with the logo in the middle of the screen and the dozy Sky News bint says 'We do know that 7 News is right opposite the building so we don't know if this is being filmed through their windows'

Pretty tense here at the moment.
For those that don't know Sydney that well, Martin Place is the underground train station in the centre of the CBD.
My GF got off there earlier, and would have walked past that cafe not long before it started.

Approaching 7 hours now.
Nothing has really happened. No contact with the police has been made, according to the news.



Edit: Just as I post. 3 people emerge from the cafe.

[Mellor]

Police have now confirmed that negotiators have had contact

[digiman]

It's mad how little information comes out from the NSW police in this case. They are very precise about what they are saying. "5 people have emerged from the building", don't say escaped, freed etc. They do seem to be handling the situation quite well so far.

Lol, nope it was a mens competition on Eurosport as I was flicking through stations. At the moment I switched it on someone had attempted a pass from outside the scoring circle which missed everyone and the goaltender just let it go into the net. And that got me thinking about the rule.

[Raoul Duke III]

I feel like Dilbert.

"The project you have been working on for the last two years has been cancelled"

"Yep, that's the one"

Yeah. Even stuff like not referring to the guy as a terrorist, and not even publicly inferring anything about the flag - when the motivation is obvious.

I think (hope) mdoug is being sarcastic with the "brilliant" at the end of his post. I like to see Arsenal and Chelsea do well in Europe. Jump on the bandwagon around QF stage when United aren't involved and adds a bit of interest watching the games.

I was at a pub quiz last week and was asked this question and it has really pissed me off not being able to find it on google.
"how many times does the minute hand rotate on big ben in a 24 hour period?" - might not be exact wording but the gist is there.
We thought about it for a second and decided it can't be a trick question and wrote down 24. The answer was 26. I have never heard this. My friends had never heard this. Google does not seem to have ever heard this! Has anyone here heard such bollox before or can I get drunk and berate the bastard for being wrong this week?



also: pm sent to investors

There may be some forms of exact wording to get it to 26.
If they said 'whats the maximum times the minute hand rotates in a day' then 25 would be the answer, on the day the clock goes back.

Can't particularly see how you'd get it to 26. Maybe the convoluted question of 'whats the most times the minute hand touches the big 12 within a day?' in which case the answer is (kind of) 26, again on the day the clock goes back.

Several more hostages have fled the scene of the Sydney cafe siege amid the sound of gunfire and loud explosions.

They ran from the building with their arms aloft just after 2am local time.

Armed police and paramedics carrying stretchers entered the building soon afterwards.

Can always count on AJ to make sense!!

He definitely worded it saying rotate so that's all I googled as was seeing red but honestly not taking into account the clocks going back makes me feel stupid as hell hahaha

[Jam-Fly]

Yeah. Even stuff like not referring to the guy as a terrorist, and not even publicly inferring anything about the flag - when the motivation is obvious.

I think this is very important though. It almost gives the guy more credit and more of an identity if you refer to him as a terrorist. What's the difference between a terrorist with a political or religious agenda and a psychopath with a gun? At this moment in time, it's not possible to tell whether this was a crime or specifically an 'act of terror'. So therefore there's no reason to call the guy a terrorist and it's important to not start using the term lightly.
