    I had this issue while watching football today, CBS and Fox both hit halftime in the early game and I had no escape, I lit myself on fire and jumped out the window.

      Fox and CBS have like 10 people at the desk on their studio shows, and all they do is laugh constantly, which I guess is supposed to convince us that they are funny, and we should be jealous that we aren't hanging out with them because it's so much damn fun there.

        Stopped watching them a few years ago because of this. It's all hype men and fluff pieces. No thanks.

          I wore socks to bed during the winter when I was a kid and there was one wood burning heater to heat an entire house. You would have to sleep in full PJ's and an electric blanket just to keep warm.

          Nowadays with central heat and air. No socks are needed. #blessed

              For all the Disney fans here: What are your favorite scary moments from Disney movies?

              The two that come to my mind immediately are the haunted forest scene in Snow White

                Fox Sports Digital page views from May 27-June 25: 143.9 million

                Then the change to all video format while laying off all those reporters.

                August 19-Sept. 17: 16.7 million page views.

                Looks like a great move Fox.

                  As a fan of written content, I like this. But I have to wonder if these numbers are skewed a bit. For example, if their content has gone to mainly video, is it possible the videos are being viewed on websites like Facebook and Twitter and not counting towards hits on Fox's page?

                  That's such an insanely large drop off it leads me to believe there's got to be more to the story. Unless they really were so off the mark on how they wanted to present their content going forward.

                    Actually there is now a lot less to the story.

                      Yeah, whenever I click on a link that I think is for an actual written article, and all I see on the page is a video loading, I'm out.

                            Got a great group of kids who are hungry and eager to learn and get better every single day. And also give them advice about things outside of Football as well.

                            Little tidbit for ya'll: This school is/was one of the worst Football programs in the state. IIRC, they've had maybe one winning season in the last 15-20 years and have won only 1 game in the last 5 and that was because(from what I was told)the other team botched the hold on a potential GW FG and one of our players picked it up and scored the GW TD.

                            1 win in the last 5 years.

                            We're now 3-0 and tied for 1st while playing in the toughest region and county(PG County 4A) in the state and in each of those games, we've came from behind to win all 3.

                            -First game, down 6-0 early in the 1st quarter and come back to win 14-6 in OT.

                            -2nd game, down 16-0 in the first 5 mins after the other team ran back the opening kickoff for a TD and scored on a PR right after our first 3 and out. We end up winning that game 20-16.

                            -3rd game, we go up 14-0 in the first 6-7 minutes of the game. The opposing team runs off 16 unanswered and has the lead until we score a TD with 14 seconds left in the game and win that one 22-16.

                            I'm so proud of these kids, I'm proud to be apart of their team and this coaching staff as well, which we're all pretty much brand new. But yeah, I ****ing love coaching.

                              What he didn't tell you though is that they run the pro style offense.

                              They left that old school option stuff in the past where it belongs.

                                Most memorable is probably:


                                The moment that happened a minute after that is the saddest, but I'd call that scary.
