  1. I just assumed all Zamboni drivers were drunk
  2. More like what you’d call guidelines than actual rules
  3. Arthur Bach
  4. I could see teams treating it like a scrimmage next year. Who cares if you get a bye if you lose key starters
  5. First part of a cowboys game I've watched since last year. Not awful
  6. I thought with 3 losses, losing head to head to Alabama would have kept them out but I wasn’t following it closely If they were in either way then the whole game was pointless all the way around
  7. I was saying earlier in the week the CCG are all risk no reward for teams in Texas’ position. I think Georgia had to win to get in but wow at what cost You would think shit like this would make the conferences rethink them but $$$$$$
  8. Why should I have expected him to do exactly what he said he would do instead of what I wanted done?
  9. Sophie’s choice
  10. I don’t know if klubnik has it. I doubt I’ve seen him for 5 plays total. My post was in response to the implication that “gamers” don’t exist. Maybe I misread the post though
  11. There is a physiologic clutch response, for lack of a better term. Certain individuals in high stress situations (not just athletic competition) react differently. Heart rate slows down, reaction time speeds up. Microlevel instantaneous release of testosterone into bloodstream (in males and females) has been measured though it is unknown if it is causative. Probably has to do with epinephrine and norepinephrine receptors in the brain and periphery as well Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and biofeedback can help an individual improve theirs.
  12. We’ve started collecting copays (or allowables if they are high deductible plans) before we see the patients. If they balk our staff has a template to follow to explain politely this is what their plan requires; we are happy to see them after they pay their portion or they can discuss with their carrier. They almost always pay. Occasionally they will leave without being seen, and very rarely ask to speak to management who tells them the same thing. The ones who pay but still want to bitch to me I empathize because fuck insurance companies. I tell them yeah while they are raising your premiums and out of pocket they are cutting what they pay us. I have also quit doing peer to peer and prior auths for prescriptions. Same for imaging unless there is likelihood of immediate harm without the test. I will prescribe an alternative from the carrier’s preferred formulary if there is an appropriate one or tell them to pay cash and use goodRX. If they don’t want to do that I tell them to call their rep. With imaging I follow standard protocol to document failure of appropriate treatment for required duration (huge waste of resources in the aggregate but hey that’s what the payers want) and if still denied (Aetna loves to do this) I tell the patient to pay cash or call their rep and start looking for a new plan next enrollment period
  13. Stringy beany little rat-faced girl
  14. Time to start a “Cloak Room Sucks Thread Sucks” thread
  15. Wasn’t that literally already the reality when it was filmed?
  16. With the QB?
  17. Is there one person who was sitting on their couch who wasn’t saying hey watch out for the fake right here?
  18. Refs didn’t completely waste half of our first downs or miss half our field goal attempts
  19. Sark needs to hire a play caller
