Bite him. I not only had the Niners to win the NFC at 7-1 for several hundred, but I told y'all that any dude named Colin will always beat any Tom, Matt or Joey
Lay the 5.

Unpossible. Extremely beautiful, and possessing pathologically low self esteem? Nothing like Adrianna Lima has ever said, "Really? Doing that for you would really prove how much I love you, and make you love me more? ...And you're sure I won't get an infection?"

Te'o's Mormon, so they can baptize her nevertheless. No marriage, but at least she gets to enjoy eternity with God on Planet Kolob. (Or is it Zeus? I watched Clash of the Titans recently and get mixed up.)

Game changer? Really?
Just watch Star Wars, Empire and Return of the Jedi and ignore the most recent 3. It's the same with the Indiana Jones movies. I ignore all but the first two (although I guess some people like the one with Connery--I don't know why). You're putting too much thought into this. Bad movies are to be ignored unless they are so bad that the cross over into needing to be celebrated.
