don't use them to sell you text books. after they've got your books they won't reply to emails and the call center won't help you either. good luck ever getting paid.

And US Bank's latest online mortgage payment system 'upgrade'...

[TurboZamboni]

Used to be able to pay every 2 weeks (like when pay day falls) You used to be able to do this no problem, as long as paid in full before the due date. You could pay extra and allocate as you like to escrow and/or principle.

Can't do that now with their latest 'revision' to their website. It's all or nothing and they've apparently come up with a place to put any extra you've paid into a special 'unallocated suspense fund' that you have to call to reallocate back to where you told them to put it in the first place.(principle)

My assumption is this is done to make it more difficult to pay off your loan early and also pimp their own version of their own automated program to pay off your mortgage a little faster via automatic withdrawals (for extra fees, of course) Watch your bank mortgage statements and save paper copies...something hinky this way comes.

Seriously, Roger Goodell?

I guess I could live with the idea of doing away with the extra point kick and just make a touchdown worth 7 pts.

But this idea to let them run/pass for an 8th. point, but take a point away from them if they fail is insane.

Isn’t picking point spreads hard enough? This will not go over well with the bookmakers. Try this and you might find yourself sleeping with the fishes.

The NFL exists for betting and drinking.
This would make one of them harder.

[Paul46360]

Does the drinking make betting more fun?
Or does betting make drinking more necessary?

Not saying I agree with the idea, but it does codify what the situation pretty much is in reality. A PAT is about as "automatic" as it can get (fails less than 0.5% of the time), so just treat it as automatic unless the team wants to try for 2.

The net result will be pretty much the same.

airing of grievances

Isn't this thread supposed to be accompanied by an aluminum pole and feats of strength???

[TurboZamboni]

I already did that last month.

[OKSooner]

Then just back them up to the 20 instead of the 2. Or the 25.

[RitaOK]

BOOMER, baby!

[kevkrom]

Then just back them up to the 20 instead of the 2. Or the 25.

Then no one ever goes for 2, except when desperate, and then with a lower chance of success. The 2-yard line works fine for that, as the success rate is pretty darn near 50%.
