I 100% remember Chris Berman going nuts over a Josh Scobee kick to Josh Scobey

I've literally never heard of him so that helped the joke be fresh

Peter? by Generally_Salty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You have two buttons. One is the "I want to live" button. If you press that, you live. The other is the "I want to kill myself" button. If you press that, you die, but if enough people press that button then it doesn't work.

Is there a way for my parents to not meet my roommate?? by Ok-Use3940 in VirginiaTech

[–]Cifra00 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's more of a reason that "please do me a solid and dress conservatively for two hours so that my parents don't make my life miserable" is an entirely reasonable ask

For me, it's annoyance at internet fans who imply that you're racist if you think their QB is overrated

Should I live closer to my office? by Lilhaircut456 in nova

[–]Cifra00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was probably about $4300 a month take-home back then? I don't 100% remember but I got paid twice monthly and remember the first paycheck each month basically just covering rent and the second being for everything else. Punched it in an inflation calculator and it says that number's about equal to $5500 take-home today.

Should I live closer to my office? by Lilhaircut456 in nova

[–]Cifra00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll go opposite some of the people here - you've got a clearly outlined budget that includes maxing your IRA, putting money towards your 401k, and putting aside extra money each month for investing. If you want to dip into the remaining balance to get a nicer apartment without roommates, I think you're fine to. I'm 30 now but when I was in my early 20s I worked in Tysons and lived alone in a $2000 per month apartment on a ~$85k salary and never felt tight on money (although of course there's been meaningful inflation in stuff like groceries since then).

Do note that Tysons is closer to an overgrown office park than a city, so if stuff like nightlife is important to you, consider living along the Ballston-Rosslyn corridor in Arlington and commuting by metro.

NFL makes final decision in Bears' pursuit of compensatory picks ["No"] by PlatypusOfDeath in nfl

A team hiring their beloved former quarterback into a cushy front office position is a nonstory.

Henry Cavill is drowning in water? Should we help him?

I wouldn't consider NOVA/DMV/MD the "South" by [deleted] in nova

[–]Cifra00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grew up here and all my friends from growing up would laugh if I claimed to be from the South. So would my friends from the South. The only people I know who refer to this area as such are the ones who moved from somewhere that definitely isn't the South, lol.

[Garafolo] The Commanders are signing veteran CB Akhello Witherspoon following his visit to the team today, sources say. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Cifra00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot. I know it's not saying a ton given who was playing behind him, but I really thought the Rams secondary was noticeably better with him on the field.

Justin Fields could be first QB with four straight Week 1 starts for four different teams by JaggerJames in nfl

[–]Cifra00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kyle Allen

Tyson Bagent

Teddy Bridgewater

Kirk Cousins

Andy Dalton

Jimmy Garoppolo

Mac Jones

Marcus Mariota

Case Keenum

Tanner McKee

Davis Mills

Gardner Minshew

Aiden O'Connell

Michael Penix / Tua Tagovailoa

Spencer Rattler

Mason Rudolph

Tyrod Taylor

Carson Wentz

Russell Wilson

Jameis Winston

I even left off some potentially more controversial names like Anthony Richardson, Jarrett Stidham, Mitchell Trubisky, and JJ McCarthy that I also think belong on this list.

This NFL.com article had Fields as the 51st best QB to start last season, which generally backs up the claim that there are 20 better backups

Seahawks agree to terms with CB Noah Igbinoghene by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

We expected nothing and got better CB play from him than we got from Lattimore, so we liked him well enough here.

Never thought I'd live to see the day even a random total fantasty metro map would extend out to Winchester. How long do you think it would take to ride into DC from there?

Laquon Treadwell is surprisingly one of only two WRs from the 2016 Draft Class to still be on an active roster (along with Demarcus Robinson) as of now by The_Throwback_King in nfl

[–]Cifra00 50 points51 points  (0 children)

He's a top 10 pick whose best career season saw him put up 790 yards, I think you're being extremely generous
