Any liberal connections there?


They are just ****ed because Fox Sports has taken over as the world
leader in sports from ABC...

It is a rotating product that gets moved around. This was Fox's turn.
ABC chose not to bid last time so the rotation is Fox, NBC and CBS.

So who won the steroids bowl?
The Denver Broncos had the best offense in the NFL this season.
SB Nation 2014 NFL Playoff Coverage

The Seattle Seahawks put up the kind of points that make it seem like
Russell Wilson and the offense
demolished the Denver Broncos defense. They're now in possession of the
third-biggest blowout win in
Super Bowl history, with a 43-8 victory. But it was Seattle's defense
that really sealed this game.

Russell Wilson managed 206 yards and two touchdowns with no
interceptions, and his receiver trio of
Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Percy Harvin were effective. They were
exactly as productive as
they needed to be, but if the Seattle defense hadn't stepped up to do
what they did, who knows where
things would have ended up?
Denver finished the regular season with the most yardage and points
scored of any offense in NFL
history. It was an offensive powerhouse that simply drowned out any
semblance of the opposing team's
offense with touchdown after touchdown. The Broncos put together the No.
1 passing offense ever,
with 340.3 passing yards per game on average.

Quarterback Peyton Manning broke the single season record for passing yards with 5,477 and
touchdowns with a whopping 55. That was all with just 10 interceptions.
That's a touchdown rate of
8.3 percent, an interception rate of 1.5 percent and a completion rate of
68.3 percent. Then there
was running back Knowshon Moreno, who put up 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.

In short, the Broncos knew how to play some offense. Coming into this
game, Seattle was riding one
of the top defenses in the NFL. The Seahawks matched Denver's top pass
offense with the league's
best pass defense, the so-called "Legion of Boom." They allowed just
172.0 yards per game on average
over the course of the regular season.

Richard Sherman led that group with eight interceptions in the regular
season, and Seattle had 28
interceptions total. The Seahawks were incredibly effective against the
pass, and had the No. 7 rush
defense to help as well.

In the Super Bowl, it was all about that defense. The game started with a
safety, and it was all
downhill for the Broncos from there. As noted, the Seahawks did manage
two field goals and three
touchdowns on offense, but special teams also contributed one and the
defense put up nine points of
its own.

Seven of those points came when Malcolm Smith took an interception back
to the house for 69 yards.
Smith also had a fumble recovery and multiple passes defensed. He earned
MVP honors for his efforts,
just the third linebacker to ever do so.

In the end, Manning attempted 49 passes, completing 34 of them with a
touchdown. But Manning had two
interceptions, and so many drives stalled out at the absolute worst time.
Seattle did an excellent
job of pressuring Manning into making poor throws and, more importantly,
the Seahawks kept all of
the plays in front of them.

Denver was held to just 27 yards rushing, limiting Moreno to 17 yards off
of five carries. The
Broncos made it clear early on that they were going to abandon the run. About the only good
performance for Denver was the 13-catch, 118-yard performance from
Demaryius Thomas, who Manning
targeted a whopping 18 times.

Seattle forced Denver to a 6-of-13 mark on third down and stopped all three of the Broncos'
fourth-down conversion attempts. Denver ultimately had four turnovers to Seattle's zero.

The Seahawks have the best pass defense in the NFL, and what most believe
is the top defense. Up
against the league's most productive offense, they rose to the occasion
and got the job done. They
went above and beyond what was expected. It was always supposed to be a
tough game for Manning, but
this defensive performance was otherworldly.

We've had that done at least 3 or 4 times by a local pool

I went out of my way to leave a patch of grass near that side of the
pool, just so repairs like that would be a bit less destructive.
Skimmers are the #1 suspect for a pool leak

In inches, how much H2O are you losing per day?

I am not leaking now but the crack was taking out about 1/5-1/4" a
day. That is not a lot maybe 60-80 gallons but it was still a nagging
problem.



Several people in our immediate area have pools. At least one has a pool
*and* an auto sprinkler system *and* an electronic fence for his mutts.
Hardly a week goes by without a service van in his driveway to service
his pool, sprinklers or dog fence. Especially the sprinklers and dog
fence. Even though his pool is fenced, it is visible from the road. In
the four years he has had it, I have never seen one person in it. :)

I know. A lot of people would be better served if they just had a
pond.

We do use our pool.

When I was looking for a house in Florida, I crossed off those having a
pool. No sense having something you don't care about and will seldom
use. If you use it, that's a different story.

Got a bud in St. Pete... He says most of the days when he wants to use
the pool, the temps are 89+ and it offers little relief.

Sorry, I should note he said the water temps in the pool were 89+...

We've had four houses with in-ground pools since my wife and I have been
married. I ended up filling in the first one after our kids became
teenagers and wanted nothing to do with it. Our lawyer drafted a "hold
harmless" agreement that he insisted that we have the parents of kids
that visited and used the pool sign. Our kids thought that was wacky.
Now that they have homes and kids of their own, they don't think it's so
wacky.

The two houses in Florida had pools and then Mrs.E. wanted one up here
in MA.

It will be the last. No more pools.

I wouldn't have a pool up north. The season is too short and the
winterizing process too cumbersome (mostly the opening).



Same with boats. That's why we are making plans to leave Dodge.

Up here, I think it would be better to join a nice club and use their pool.
