Colts Fans please stop calling the Pats and Colts a rivalry. It's like saying the Nail and Hammer are a rivalry. But as we know, one clearly smashes the other.

Glad I don't have Luck on my Fantasy team. He was amazing for me last year though.

Maybe the Titans can figure out how to finish a game. They've played well enough to be 3-1 yet always find a way to blow it. This wasn't supposed to be a good season anyway but the way they're losing just makes it worse than completely sucking.

How the hell does Chris Hanson do 7 straight hours of nfl redzone? Does he have a shitter behind the podium or something?

The only game on TV (antenna CBS) for me now is Texans vs. Jags, a game of 1 win teams. Whaaaaaaaa.

Ladies and Gentleman, we have found the most outrageously interpreted rule in the nfl rulebook in the last few weeks in the nfl

We deserved a break a little. I saw that play real-time too and I though it was a strip and pick.

I guess Tate established himself as a runner JUST before breaking the plane and what happens after that doesn't matter.

That TD catch by Marvin Jones in the Cincy game was amazing. Hand down, facemask down, flying head over heals and still manages to hang on.

Just got killed on that drive.

skins have now been outscored 46-3 in third quarters this season.

game is over.

cousins is done (for today). he's completely shook. while i still want him to start the rest of the season, i think they should pull him for the rest of this game.

The alarm from a hotel only goes off on specific floors? I don't buy it... If an alarm was pulled why wouldn't the whole hotel go off?

You don't buy it happened? Or you don't buy it was a real fire that caused the alarm?

It is ESPN reporting, but this is what they have.

The team said in a statement that alarms were pulled at approximately 5:40 a.m. PT -- only on the two floors of the hotel that Panthers players were staying on, which backup quarterback Derek Anderson confirmed in a tweet Sunday.

You don't need to "buy" it. That's how alarms work in multistory buildings. Typically I have seen them setup so they ring the alarm on the floor it was pulled and one floor above and below it. Depends on the local fire regulations.

<--worked for years in a class A commercial real estate company. I setup parts of these systems.

edit: as for why, it's simply not necessary to evacuate the whole building for a single fire. It will often be contained to the floor it's on, fire suppression and all. The above/below is just in case it does spread.

I assumed it was a setup of that nature.

And then there is today, lol.

People don't understand actual fire alarms in buildings don't work like they do in the movies. You can't hold a lighter to it and evacuate the entire building.
